# the Furnace file format (.fur)
while Furnace works directly with the .dmf format, I had to create a new format to handle future additions to the program.
this document has the goal of detailing the format.
**notice:** GitHub's Markdown formatter may break on this file as it doesn't seem to treat tables correctly.
# information
files may be zlib-compressed, but Furnace accepts uncompressed files as well.
all numbers are little-endian.
the following fields may be found in "size":
- `f` indicates a floating point number.
- `STR` is a UTF-8 zero-terminated string.
- `???` is an array of variable size.
- `S??` is an array of `STR`s.
- `1??` is an array of bytes.
- `2??` is an array of shorts.
- `4??` is an array of ints.
the format has changed several times across versions. a `(>=VER)` indicates this field is only present starting from format version `VER`, and `(<VER)` indicates this field is present only before version `VER`.
furthermore, an `or reserved` indicates this field is always present, but is reserved when the version condition is not met.
