## Archives
|
|
This section covers the archive files. There is one template archive file, called ```archive.dat```, and a number of save-game files, called ```savgamXX.dat```. All of these files are regular resource files.
|
|
|
|
Any new game is based on the archive.dat file. All these archive files contain the complete game state, including the level layout. In other words: Citadel itself, with all its content, is represented through such a file; Properties and media for the content is in the other resource files.
|
|
|
|
## Map specific data
|
|
Each level has 98 resources reserved, but only 51 in use. The level-specific resources are grouped according to the level identifier. For example, on Citadel level R, the resources start with ID ```4002``` (decimal) up to ```4053```. Level 1 uses ```4102``` to ```4153``` and so forth.
|
|
|
|
On the following pages, resources identified as ```LXX``` refer to level-specific resource ```XX``` for any level. These numbers will always be given in decimal.
|
|
|
|
