Game.dat corrections

[Danjb1]

The docs say that Game.dat is a script, and that scripts use Windows-1252 encoding and Windows Line Endings (CRLF).

Unless I'm missing something, this does not seem to be the case for Game.dat; when I open the file in Notepad++, it identifies the encoding as UTF-8, with Unix-style line endings.

This is the case for the original game and the History Edition.

P.S. Sorry to create so many issues, I can eventually make a pull request but at the moment I am just documenting issues as I find them.

Oh interesting. I guess I only looked at the content.

Don't worry about it, just keep them coming (:

I'll just add to this one for now since it's related...

In the History Edition, Game.dat does not include the savegame names(Objekt: SPIELNAME). I believe the History Edition supports an unlimited number of save files, and uses the filenames directly.

The reason I am coming across all these issues is that I am currently writing a parser for Game.dat. My ultimate aim is to create a tool akin to SirHenry's Campaign Installer, with a few more capabilities. So thank you for all your documentation, it is extremely useful!
