Row Data | Type depends on table structure, count is Line Count in Header |
28 + line size * line count |
String Data |
Line size can be calculated as (file size - header size - string data size) / line count.

Generating new hashes is unnecessary because new XML files cannot be added without modifying the game binaries.
These hashes are not dynamically generated based on the table content; they are hardcoded.
| Hash | Algorithm | Initial Value |
|---|---|---|
| Descriptors Hash | 32-bit FNV-1a | 0x811c9dc5 |
| Layout Hash | 32-bit FNV-1a | 0x811c9dc5 |
Additional hash information and pseudocode provided by moggabor and Bodowens86.
This pseudocode describes how the descriptors and layout hashes are generated.
descriptorsHash = 0x811c9dc5
layoutHash = 0x811c9dc5
explicitPaddingSize = 0
maxColumnAlignment = 1
lineSize = 0
for column in columns:
descriptorsHash = crc32(column.name, descriptorsHash)
descriptorsHash = crc32(column.typeID, descriptorsHash)
layoutHash = crc32(column.offset, layoutHash)
if columnDataType == Padding:
explicitPaddingSize += column.size
continue
nextOffset = column.offset + column.size
if lineSize < nextOffset:
lineSize = nextOffset
if maxColumnAlignment < column.alignment:
maxColumnAlignment = column.alignment
lineSize += explicitPaddingSize
if lineSize % maxColumnAlignment:
lineSize = maxColumnAlignment * ((lineSize + maxColumnAlignment - 1) / maxColumnAlignment)
layoutHash = crc32(lineSize, layoutHash)
