No, it sounds like you got it right. The main point is to set up the array to contain/or skip the header data that remains the same throughout every file before reading the relevant data: or if it contains an offset relying on the size of the file or a certain offset location, then it would get the offset or filesize and add it to the array before adding the actual data: in the same fashion as the original file format.

right??

all I know is _first is the 'FFFF000000010000000000000000' part >_>

I just need to know how to build and read those properly >_>

also...
if I figure these out, I'll be able to start an export plugin ;)
(then people will be able to do anything they want) ;D

Sorry for being late... I just have a hard time understanding which part of the data structure you've been talking about >.<

1yeh...
I think that might be my fault >_>

It's the data structure that you're looking into: data structures that we have fully defined. Perhaps after you and BlackJax's file format threads are done, we can easily relate to the specific parts.

yeh... fully defined in code that I can't read, and no notes on it :srs:

yeh, I actually root for BJ on his thread...
he's taking more of the descriptive side where as I'm on more of the coder's side
(helping out programmers)

my methos of approach is useless to most hackers though >_>

anyways...
I just need to know how to list those :/
was I right on guessing the structure??
(I have no idea) XDD

also...
what exactly is the GID used for??
(is it just for generating the index??)
