LcfMapTree

LcfMapTree, or LMT for short, is the file-format for map-data that needs to be present all the time ingame, all random-encounter AREAs, the game's title aswell as all data necessary for the maptree to give it a structure.

Header

Each file starts with a byte that defines how long the format-identifying string next to it will be. Normally, this is always 10 (0x0A), followed by the text "LcfMapTree".

Map/Area Data

MAPs and AREAs use the same type structure and are ordered by their ID. The first entry, which occupies ID 0, is what you see displayed as a folder in the maptree-window and contains the game's title as its name. Maps with a parent-ID set to 0 are direct childs of that "folder".
