File Format

Format of Files of Fallout2/Fio

The legendary TeamX has done a great work on decrypting Fallout's file. But most file format is described in Russian. Here while writing Fio I translate some files(or file frags) into English thru an on-line translation service - though the translation is not very accurate, but the meaning is there.
