Overview

The data in this resource seems to be used for route planning, as there is a heavy emphasis on portals and footprints.

Speculation: Table of some sort used by route planning. Doing anything on a lot (Even changing the level of the terrain) causes this data to grow drastically.

Special IDs

In some cases rather than a LOT ID (Which always ends with the last 4 bits 0) the data contains what I've termed a special ID. This appears to use the 8 bytes slightly differently.

BYTE ID type

WORD
BYTE level (-1 = pool)
BYTE (Always 0)

However this could all be coincidental, as the typical lot or object ID looks, to the casual observer, like a DWORD followed by two WORDs.

The following ID types have been observed...

ID type	Context	Identifies
0	Lot ID (Not a special ID)	Lot
1	Object ID (Not a special ID)	Object
3	Section 4 type 6 data	Floor
9	Door object ID (Not a special ID)	Door
12	Section 4 type 2 data	Wall?
13	Section 4 type 8 data	Wall?
15	Section 4 type 6 data
16	Section 4 type 6 data
18	Section 4 type 2 data Section 2 data	Lot portal
19	Section 4 type 3 data
20	Sim object ID (Not a special ID)	Sim
21	Section 4 type 6 data	Foundation
