PEW File Format
Introduction

Legend
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| byte | 8 bit (1 byte) |
| short | 16 bit signed short (2 bytes) |
| int | 32 bit signed integer (4 bytes) |
| float | 32 bit signed single precision floating point value (4 bytes) |
| asciiz | Null terminated (0x00) variable length ascii string |
Although technically there should never be negetive values for many of the 16 bit & 32 bit values, it's 'safer' in programming terms to use signed datatypes as opposed to unsigned datatypes.
File Format
- The following is a mix of pseudo-code and structure references that could be used to discribe the file format of POSEW60.pew Island project design file. It may or may not be accurate.
- This file format is principally used with Armed Assault v1.09 and later plus the ArmA Tools Suite Final release (v1.14).
