-'''Item placement''' files, usually identified by the file extension <code>.ipl</code>, are a part of the [[map system]] and used to create and place (for example) different objects, zones of special behaviour or paths in the world. All games support standard item placement files which are mostly stored in plain text format that can be opened and edited using any text-editing program (like [[Wikipedia:Notepad|Notepad]]), but there are tools to simplify editing. [[GTA SA|San Andreas]] is the first game to introduce a binary format for item placement files. Most of the placement information in [[GTA IV]] is stored inside of binary files (see [[WPL]]).

-''San Andreas'' introduced an simple binary format of item placement files. They are stored as ''"streaming files"'' inside the [[IMG|archive files]]. Editing them requires an special editor (see [[IPL#Tools|below]]). The format is pretty simple and their possibilities are not completely used by ''Rockstar''. By default they do only support <code>inst</code> and <code>cars</code> sections. It is unconfirmed if other sections also can be used or if they are just stubs which are not implemented. Anyway their binary format is completely unknown.

 === Format and syntax description ===
-Just like definitions, placement information files are split up into sections. Each section is indicated by a section identifier specifying the way the section gets parsed by the game. The sections themselves are filled with the entries containing the placement information. Each entry must be placed on a separate line. This is important for line-dependent entries, like the [[INST#GTA_SA_format|San Andreas LOD system]]. The end of every section is indicated by the terminating string "end". Both (identifying and terminating strings) are not case sensitive, but by default they are written in lower case.
