Data Structure

The file uses a structure of offset arrays followed by string data. All offsets are absolute.

1. ID Array

Located at 0x20.

• Array of EntryCount × UInt32.
• Contains the unique String IDs (Hash or numeric ID).

2. Pointer Matrix

Located immediately after the ID Array.

• A matrix of pointers with dimensions: TableCount rows × EntryCount columns.
• Each entry is a UInt32 absolute offset to a null-terminated string.
• Layout:
  • Row 0 (Language 0) Pointers [0..EntryCount]
  • Row 1 (Language 1) Pointers [0..EntryCount]
  • ...

3. String Data

Strings are stored at the offsets pointed to by the matrix. Strings are null-terminated and typically use cp1252 encoding.
