Sheet 1: syntax

syntax	description
[section]	start of section, signaled by square brackets

,	Commas separate values in your project file
[a-z]=[A-Z]	The parser is case-insensitive; capital and lowercase letters are treated the same in symbols.
newlines	statements over separate lines are treated the same as a single line entry
;	Marks the end of a statement
--	Double hyphens at the start of a line denote a comment, and the line is ignored

Sheet 2: data types

Type	Desc	Notes
[]	appended brackets indicate array of [#] entries, of type
bool	A special enumerated type which has two values: on and off. Alternatively true and false can be used, as well as yes/no. (on=true=yes, off=false=no)
enumerated	A value type with a set amount of predefined symbols, each of which represents an abstracted value
number	a positive whole number.
-number	a signed (+/-) whole number
string	Literal text, closed with a double quotation mark at each end (ex: ”this is a string”). The quotes are omitted in evaluation. If you want to include literal quotes in your string value, you need to do so with '' (two single quote marks (')). These will be automatically converted to a double quote mark upon evaluation. Otherwise, double quote marks will be interpreted as the start or end of a string.
string[length]	a string with a fixed maximum length
structure	A type that consists of an ordered array of fields, closed by curly braces, with each field separated by commas.	Format is {valA,valB,valC,....} ; It reads the fields in order listed in documentation.
type[n]	if one or more subscripts are given in brackets, this means there are n entries of values of that type in array	multi-dimensional arrays are given in [subscript1][subscript2][subscript3]...[subscriptN] for n subscripts. The last subscript is least significant, the first is most significant. For example [y][x] is interpreted as [1][1],[1][2],...,[1][x],[2][1],...,[2][x],....,[y][1],...,[y][x]. In a 2-d array, the x “dimension” is read as a “row”, and after each row is read, the y dimension is incremented and that row is read, and so on. Expand that explanation to 3 or more dimensions, with the left-most dimension being processed first, and the rightmost last.
(n1..n2)	Subtype of number which only takes values in the range from n1 to n2

Sheet 3: sections

Here are the recognized sections
Section Header	Desc.	Notes
[InfoHeader]	The basic information for the object is given in this section.
[Names]	The text strings containing the object names are in this section
[pos]	This section gives the positions for each tile,
[Images_Full]	A section used by the extractor, which denotes the location of the full views of the object	if an Images_Full section is present, then Images_Tile is ignored
[Images_Tile]	The images for separate tiles. Use the full images for reference as to which one goes where.
[end]	denotes end of project file; can be omitted

Sheet 4: section_InfoHeader

Values(in order)	Data Type	Description	Notes
datName	string[8]	Name of the object. Will also be the filename (max 8-characters)
tileDim	number[2]	{c,r} where c is the columns and r is the rows.	If either or both are zero. the number of tiles is determined by the tile position area
remaps	bool[2]	States of the two remap colors. on=used, off=unused
cursorSel	number	Mouse cursor for construction
buildFee	-number	cost to build object
removeFee	-number	cost to remove object
landmark	bool	Whether or not this is a “sightseeing” item peeps “take pictures” of.

Sheet 5: section_Names

Value	Alias	Data Type	Notes
english_UK	english	string	Can be referred to as english_UK or english, same goes for other aliases of a language identifier
english_USA	american	string	If the text is “#copy_UK#” for any string other than the UK string, the UK string will be copied to the rest of the languages automatically, and the parser will skip to the next section. Be sure to first assign the UK string.
francais	french	string
deutsch	german	string
espanol	spanish	string
italiano	italian	string
nederlands	dutch	string
sverige	swedish	string
korean		string
chinese		string
chinese2		string
portugese		string

Sheet 6: section_pos

Value	Data Type	Field(structs)	Field Data Type	Desc	Notes
tiles	tilePosStruct[]			Usually (numRows*numColums) entries
	+	col	-number	column (x-axis) of tile, leftmost=0	row = -1 or col = -1 marks end of tile table. This is necessary only if numRows or numCols is set to 0 in the infoHeader section.
		row	-number	row (y-axis position) of tile, top-most=0
		baseHeight	-number	base height of the tile (in pixels, not height units)
		clearance	number	In height units(8 pixels/unit)
		hasSupports		if not given, the default or the state given in the header is used.
		quads	bool[4]	Whether each quad is occupied or not. Ordered in {NE,SE,SW,NW} order
		walls	bool[4]	Whether each side has a wall or not
