BUILDING BLOCKS

The BTB file consists of chunks of the form:

struct CHUNK_HEADER
{
  unsigned int chunkType;
  unsigned int chunkSize; // excluding header
};

Each chunk consists of 'records' which are similar to chunks, but the record size is inclusive of the header.

struct RECORD_HEADER
{
  unsigned int recordType;
  unsigned int recordSize; // including header
};

OVERALL FILE STRUCTURE

The observed format of the BTB files in Dark Omen follows in order:

START/END CHUNK, type=0xBEAFEED0, size=0
   HEADER CHUNK, type=0, size=240
   UNKNOWN CHUNK, type=1, size=<varies>
   OBSTACLES CHUNK, type=2, size=<varies>
   
   REGION CHUNK 0, type=3, size=<varies>
   REGION CHUNK 1, type=3, size=<varies>
   .
   .
   .
   REGION CHUNK n, type=3, size=<varies>
   
   GAME OBJECT CHUNK, type=4, size=<varies>
START/END CHUNK, type=0xBEAFEEDO, size=0

START/END CHUNK

This chunk is just a marker of the start/end of the file; it contains no data

HEADER CHUNK

HEADER CHUNK, type=0, size=240
   INTEGER RECORD (<Map width in tiles> * 8) type=1, size=12
   INTEGER RECORD (<Map height in tiles> * 8) type=2, size=12
   STRING RECORD (Mercenary Army file name without extension) type=1001, size=40
   STRING RECORD (Enemy Army file name without extension) type=1002, size=40
   STRING RECORD (CTL filename without extension) type=1003, size=40
   STRING RECORD ("/0") type=1004, size=40
   STRING RECORD ("/0") type=1005, size=40
   2-TUPLE RECORD ( [Number of Regions in file, Number of line segments in all regions] ) type=9, size=16

UNKNOWN CHUNK

This chunk is made up of several 3-tuples, which contain unknown data

UNKNOWN CHUNK, type=2, size=<varies>
   3-TUPLE RECORD 0 (unknown) type=3, size=20
   3-TUPLE RECORD 1 (unknown) type=3, size=20 
   .
   .
   .
   3-TUPLE RECORD n (unknown) type=3, size=20
