  22. Description
  23. -----------
  24. The engine can save resources when you do it from the editor, or when you use the :ref:`ResourceSaver<class_ResourceSaver>` singleton. This is accomplished thanks to multiple ``ResourceFormatSaver``\ s, each handling its own format and called automatically by the engine.
  25. By default, Godot saves resources as ``.tres`` (text-based), ``.res`` (binary) or another built-in format, but you can choose to create your own format by extending this class. Be sure to respect the documented return types and values. You should give it a global class name with ``class_name`` for it to be registered. Like built-in ResourceFormatSavers, it will be called automatically when saving resources of its recognized type(s). You may also implement a :ref:`ResourceFormatLoader<class_ResourceFormatLoader>`.
  26. Method Descriptions
  27. -------------------
  28. .. _class_ResourceFormatSaver_method_get_recognized_extensions:
  29. - :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` **get_recognized_extensions** **(** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` resource **)** virtual
  30. Returns the list of extensions available for saving the resource object, provided it is recognized (see :ref:`recognize<class_ResourceFormatSaver_method_recognize>`).
  31. .. _class_ResourceFormatSaver_method_recognize:
  32. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **recognize** **(** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` resource **)** virtual
  33. Returns whether the given resource object can be saved by this saver.
  34. .. _class_ResourceFormatSaver_method_save:
  35. - :ref:`int<class_int>` **save** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` path, :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` resource, :ref:`int<class_int>` flags **)** virtual
  36. Saves the given resource object to a file at the target ``path``. ``flags`` is a bitmask composed with :ref:`SaverFlags<enum_ResourceSaver_SaverFlags>` constants.
  37. Returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` on success, or an :ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` constant in case of failure.
