| − | '''Binary [[IPL|item placement]]''' files are only present in [[San Andreas]] and can be only opened or edited using a special editor. Binary item placement files are also present in [[GTA IV]], where they are called [[WPL]] files and have another format.
| + | Can someone explain why is the article drastically changed to WPL?--[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]] 21:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC) |

| − | == File Format ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each binary item placement file starts with a 4 byte identifier, followed by a short header which contains the number of instances in a block. All in all a binary ipl file has the same format as an uncompiled one, just with the difference that the information is stored binary instead as plain text.

| − | However there are only [[INST]] and [[CARS]] sections are used in binary IPL's, so the rest of the format is unknown.

This appears very strange, so you can assign different flags to one item, which goes against the internal core rule, that flags are controlled by the IDE pool and applied to the rendering engine using the object id... straaaange ^^ - Got to check this! --> | |
