Mohawk archive format

General layout

Mohawk archives are organized in chunks, and this is the chunk layout:

• IFF chunk
  • IFF header
  • RSRC header
  • Resource dir
    • Type table
    • Name tables (one for each resource type)
    • Resource tables (one for each resource type)
    • Resource name list
    • File table
  • Actual data (resource contents)

Note that the chunks may be found in a different order: never trust on them being at fixed locations, and use the offsets to reach them.

Every integer is in big-endian (Motorola) byte order.

IFF header

This is always at the beginning of the file.

4 bytes	chunk signature (MHWK), identifies Mohawk archive format
unsigned long	file size in bytes, not counting this IFF header (that is, file size - 8)
