- The first DATA record contains 2-bytes. The first byte is an unsigned char that represents the number of IMPL Forms in the file. The 2nd byte is currently unknown. - The PVSH form contains a record of 0000 which contains the full path of an HLSL vertex shader program. - The PPSH form contain a 0001 form which contains 1 DATA record and a variable number of PTXM forms. The DATA record is made up of 1 unsigned char (which indicates the number of PTXM records) followed by the full path of an HLSL pixel shader program. - Each PTXM form contains one 0002 record. The first byte of which is an unsigned char followed by a 4 char texture tag name.

World Structures

There is one .ws file per planet (none for space that I have found yet although it would seem applicable), containing a list of items found outdoors on each planets. This includes buildings, terminals, streetlights, fog/special effects, ruins, and so forth. Trees/plants/rocks are not included unless they are somehow unique or special.
