Let's see what we have:

file id = res_id

level id = lev_id

unsigned integer = uint + lenght in bits

signed integer = int + lenght in bits

high bit = hb

float = float

link = link

raw offset = offset

string = char[lenght in bytes]

boolean = bool color = color

bitset = bitset (In my interpretation a bitset has a lenght of one byte. "Bool" for bitsets is a bit confusing in my opinion. If I recall correctly Oni uses only "bitset collections", which are 4 bitsets in a row (so always 4 bytes are used, even if there's no need for 4 bytes).

>>I'd strongly suggest vectors, quaternions, planes and matrices.

IMO that's not a good idea. It turns "type" more into a "description". F.e. a vector is stored as a float (column "type"). The information that this float is a vector should be placed in the column "description". Ssg 23:04, 4 September 2007 (CEST)

Maybe we should add a help page for the file types. This page explains the different types (float, integer, lev_id, links, ...) and how to read them (right to left, if a link ignore the 01, ...).
