SFX Library format

The SFX Library is stored in your save directory as sfxlibrary.dat. To learn how to retreive it from the servers, refer to this page.

To decode sfxlibrary.dat, you need to Base64 URL-Safe decode it and Zlib inflate it.

The SFX library is split into 2 parts:

{files}|{credits}

Files & folders

{files} is a list of files and folders, separated with semicolons. The file format is as follows:

{id},{name},{isFolder},{parentFolder},{filesize},{duration}

Key	Type	Description
id	integer	The sound effect/folder ID
name	string	The sound effect/folder name
isFolder	boolean	Whether this is a sound effect or folder
parentFolder	integer	The parent folder
filesize	integer	The sound effect file size in bytes
duration	integer	The duration of the sound effect, in seconds * 100

The first “folder” is a special case: it has an ID of 1 and its name corresponds to the SFX library version.

Credits

The {credits} part is very simple. It’s a list of all the companies/people from which RobTop has licensed the sound effects, in this format:

{name},{link};{name},{link}...

where name is the name of the company and link is a link to their website.
