Normally blank rows are left between either groups of sounds inside a levels file or at the end of the file to mark out various grouping types. Properties are in a table format under a line for their respective block header and column text labels.

Levels are linked to their respective XA files by groupid. Before compilation of the SC4 engine, files were linked via filenames inside the levels file.
