Beco

beco is a file format that is used for storing per-coordinate data.

Structure

beco files are little endian on Switch and big endian on Wii U.

Header

Offset	Type	Description
0x0	u32	Magic (0x00112233)
0x4	u32	Number of rows
0x8	u32	Divisor
0xc	u32	Padding

Offsets

Offset	Type	Description
0x0	u32[num_rows]	Offsets to row data, divided by 2 and relative to the start of the row section

Rows

Segment

Offset	Type	Description
0x0	u16	Custom data
0x2	u16	Length (X axis)

This structure is repeated until the entire row has been covered by segments. The sum of all segment lengths is equal to the length of the map on the X axis.

Operations

Getting the custom data for a given coordinate
