Subject: ENGINE_LEVEL - LevelGraphicsFile Format
Here's what I have so far on the engine_level/LevelGraphicsFile format. This format will not properly work in HW as it seems to cut off the strings after 10 chars and thus screws the rest of the format, and in the process sucks up a ton of cpu and mem (a 2.2kb file sucked up 1.4gb ram). There may also be additional file types that I have not yet run into.
This file seems to have links to a number of other files used for loading/rendering the level. This includes heightmaps and flora models. The flora models are followed by what looks like instancing data to spawn instances with.
