yes, i believe the gas files are there just for importing a single player char into multiplayer without having to load the entire savegame of the game world into memory to find out what the stats and inventory of the said character are as the saved state of the game world can get quite large. so the gas files in the save game are there just for indexing and ease of readability purposes for import into mp like what foerstj said.

the xdat file seems to be some kind of a binary dump of the game world u are playing indeed. it also gets larger the more u play and the more areas u explore, so its saving some kind of incremental changes to the original game world as the player plays through the map. the stats and inventory as the player are also most likely saved in this file as a game object as part of the game world.

while for the xidx file, from its file extension, we can surmise it saves some sort of an index for the game world. maybe its like a table of contents or index for all the game objects and goids in the map.

as for editing it, i tried but unless u know the game's source code and how it saves what information and how it saves it, editing is pointless if u dont know what it is, what the values are or what u are editing...

so in short, no please dont del the xdat file. it will just brick your savegame...
