war3map.dir Import Directories

With the advent of folder based map editing this functionality has been succeeded and this document deprecated

The war3map.dir format is a custom file type created for HiveWE that allows for storing and categorizing imports in a directory structure. The file is designed such that it can be easily compared and updated when the original war3map.imp file has changed as to keep compatibility with the original World Editor.

Format

uint32		version

And then the following structure

uint32		item_count
uint8		is_directory
c_string	name
uint8		is_custom

The previous structure can then repeat as many times as item_count or the item_count of a deeper nested structure.

Explanation

uint32		version

The version of the file. Initial version is 1.

Item Structure

uint32		item_count

The amount of sub structures.

uint8		is_directory

Whether this structure is a directory. While an item_count > 0 might be seen as a directory this does not account for there to be empty folders.

c_string	name  

A null-terminated string of either the directory name or the import name

uint8		is_custom

Whether the import is custom. Refer to the page for war3map.imp[ToDo create] for the logic behind imports
