P3D File Format - ODOLV40 Obsolete

The following information has been provided by BxBx

Legend int 4 bytes ulong 4 byte integer bool8 1 byte bool 0, or 1

Blocks in Odol V40 are quite similar to Odol v7 but placed in reverse order.

Resolution table, 
LOD tables last to first

The same LZ compression is used for LODs as ODOL v7

known data:

normals and the other data follow ,but this is in progress

I cannot find face.texture_index informations, in M16A4 are only 2 textures and I texture it handly by original UVsets. }
