+* This may be an occupancy array between story/levels and between grid lines, probably used for room occupancy.  It seems to have West, North, East and South respectively as in the case of floor tile.  This is also one of the differences between levelroom foundation wall and unlocked foundation wall; unlocked foundation wall caused no alteration on value in this file while levelroom foundation wall caused certain values to become "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF".  Swim-pool caused "0x00000003" instead of "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF".  levelroom foundation blocks also caused "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF".  So far, it may explain why levelroom foundation wall still can have some bits of blockage property and tiling oddities.
