The .SCAN file format describes scannable objects, and has references to several resources. It is a relatively simple format and has a static size.

Morphball wire.png This file format needs a lot of research
Too many unknowns.

Header

The header is rather simple, and consists of the following:

Offset Size Description
0x0 4 Version
0x4 4 Magic; always 0x0BADBEEF
0x8 4 FRME ID
0xC 4 STRG ID
0x10 4 Unknown; usually 0
0x14 4 Unknown; looks like a count, but there are always 4 entries
0x18 1 Unknown; might just be padding
0x19 End of header


Entry

Following the header is an array of 4 structs which follow this format:

Offset Size Description
0x0 4 TXTR ID
0x4 4 Unknown - float
0x8 4 Unknown - long
0xC 4 Unknown - long
0x10 4 Unknown - long
0x14 4 Unknown - long
0x18 4 Unknown - float
0x1C End of entry
