Relations
Format for FileType Relations:
Format -- 0xGID - Groupid 0xAAAABBBB (optional) - For GroupIDs with multiple section types, the format for that group type
Children - Things loaded as a result of this file.
Relations (name, kind,propertyidifavailable) Parent - Things that caused this file to be loaded Relations (name, kind,propertyidifavailable) sex (optional) - Dependant relations. A file contains details that are carried out by another file Relations (name, kind, propertyidifavailable) 0xGID -Group IDs for this format, next group. etc.
End of Sample
To show different sexvariations of Instances inside a GID that may have different children and parents, instance format codes like used in the GIID spec may be seen in the usual 0xAAAABBBB type format.
The 'kind' part of a relation may be dropped if the file is being called by the exe in order for a full description. No Relations of either type are marked by a NONE designation. Filetypes of which I don't think all relations are marked for are listed at the end of the document.
This Document may not be complete. Things may be assumed to be complete until shown otherwise, for which corrections would then be made to whatever part is missing data. Sex Spec Follows
