Help?

This data is in no way 100% complete, so far it works but table 1 and 2, but in future this could break with further files tested.
TODO: A lot! Keep adding data, people!

What do you mean when you say "it works"? When you ask people to keep adding data, how do you expect people to do that? I get the feeling you have some program you're working on that uses this data; perhaps you should actually state that and tell us how we can get it if we want to help. -- Bushing 01:23, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

My apologies Bushing, the current code can be found at http://blog.tracescript.net/parse-bacs.c, at the current point it is just for parsing the file. We have worked out where the byte code is for each method defined in table 1.

Table 1: Defines methods in file, blocks of 8 bytes.

typedef struct {
	u32 offset;
	u16 table4_method; // Points to an id in table 4, index is 0 based
	u8 paramcount; //maybe
	u8 unk1;
} table1_chunk;

Table 2: Imported methods list. Just a string table really, first item is 0 bytes (blank)
Table 3: UTF-16 strings These are the codes literial strings, each string is preceded by a u16 with the following bytecount for the UTF-16 string.
Table 4: Local / Exported method names and variables.

"A lot! Keep adding data, people!" was left by SquidMan, it was basically just a message to me. :P
