Map file format?

Hi,

Has anyone reversed engineered the map file format -- e.g. the files in the maps/ directory?

Thanks!

I came across this analysis many years ago, not sure who the original source of the research was. I added the line about locating the map struct in memory (or at least pretty sure I did). I haven't gone through and validated how much of this is accurate or if there are any mistakes. However, at a quick glance I know some things are accurate like the MapData flags.

I'm planning on releasing an updated version of my IDA analysis on the SMACX binary soon. It will contain a more comprehensive break down of pretty much all the internal classes and structures, including ones such as MapWin. So, hopefully this will aid in any kind of research.

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for!
