Warcraft II game engine uses this format for map files. External maps can be edited by official Warcraft II map editor and saved in .pud files. Maps supplied with the game (i.e. single player campaign) follow the same format, but are instead embedded inside the game container files.
There are two major versions: 0x11 (original one) and 0x13 (roughly corresponds to v1.33 of the game engine, although some of the features got limited support in v1.3).
File consists of a sequence of typed sections.
This page hosts a formal specification of Warcraft II map files using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for C# generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C# runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The C# runtime library is available in the NuGet Gallery. Installation instructions can also be found there.
Parse a local file and get structure in memory:
var data = Warcraft2Pud.FromFile("path/to/local/file.pud");
Or parse structure from a byte array:
byte[] someArray = new byte[] { ... };
var data = new Warcraft2Pud(new KaitaiStream(someArray));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing properties like:
data.Sections // => get sections
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
using System.Collections.Generic;
