The Galactix GLB Format is used by Galactix to store all the game data files. The format was later altered for Raptor to add encryption, resulting in the Raptor GLB Format.
Signature
The first FAT entry has the filename "GLIB FILE".
File format
The file begins with a File Allocation Table (FAT), which lists the filename, size and offset of each file within the archive.
| Data type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UINT32LE | offset | Offset of the file data, relative to the start of the archive |
| char | filename[22] | Null-terminated filename (17 chars + terminating null) |
| UINT16LE | length | Size of the file data, in bytes |
The very first entry is not a real file, but is a header. The offset field of this entry contains the number of files in the FAT (not including this header entry itself.) The filename is "GLIB FILE" and the size is zero.
The first file's data begins directly after the FAT, which will also be the offset value of the second FAT entry.
