Also @Jonathan_Blow. I'm sorry if you guys don't want to be bothered by questions like this, I just don't know where I would go to ask things like this. Forums about gamedev are often full of evangelic beginners, and unfortunately I don't know any gamedevs in person.
This sounds like you are making it too complicated. Your handle can be an arbitrary integer that gets incremented by 1 all the time. You have a hash table mapping these to entity pointers. Entities store their handle on themselves. The end.
Thanks for answering! Just making sure I understand that correctly: In this case, handles don't carry type information at all, you just know by context whats on the other end? And for non-entity-data that I want to serialize, just pointers, no handles?
Stuff like "generational index" is an implementation detail that you don't want to serialize because when you read that back, it won't match your system's current values! (I don't do things this way, but if you did, yeah, it's an internal detail).
