I have a question about the *.Big file format!
It is said that it is the same like the old Red Alert *.Mix format, but there are some differences.

Is there any detailed information about its structure, especially on the header format?

I've never seen any real detailed information on the format, personally.

I figured out the most but there are still 8 bytes i don't see anything in :confused:
If anyone knows about the bytes 16-20 and 20-24 please send me that infos!

Now I know what these bytes were for :D and now everything works

The format is like

BigFile wrote:
Header :

  1. BIGF Signature
  2. 4 Byte filesize in reversed order
  3. 4 Bytes data-count
  4. 4 Bytes offset of the data relative to the start of the file

Indexer : for each data-item

  1. 4 Bytes offset in file
  2. 4 Bytes size of the item
  3. Name of the item in ASCII
  4. 0-Byte

Content : Databytes in a row
