LAN (Language File) Format

Notes by Aaron Bishop (Dunlar)

Language files store the localised text strings used in the game. The source format is a plain text file with line returns between phrases and no trailing line return. The compiled binary format is as follows:

Binary Layout

Field Type
Number of lines int (4 bytes)
Offset to line (per line, from start of file) int (4 bytes each)
Text data block unsigned chars
