(Zaimoni: This records some working notes. This should be reformatted more conventionally at some point.)
Assuming the usual "brute listing" representation, there is space allocated for 96 research projects at each base. They are listed in the same order here, as in the game.
- each research project's scientist-days remaining is stored in a little-endian word (low-order byte first). For realistic cases, the difference between signed word and unsigned word is irrelevant. 96 words i.e. 192 bytes.
- then each research project's scientists allocated is stored as a byte. 96 bytes.
- each base thus uses 288 bytes to represent the current research project state.
A zero for scientist-days merely means that the project is not actively being researched. It may have not been started, or have been completed.
Project names are elsewhere. Offsets are solely in hexadecimal for this iteration. The first offset is for scientist-days, the second is for number of scientists allocated.
Zaimoni: the order of projects is almost certainly going to match RESEARCH.DAT, which I worked out previously. The Live Alien entires correspond to ASTORE.DAT: 6 Sectoids (Commander through Soldier), 6 Snakemen, etc., followed by 4 Terrorists (no Cyberdisc or Sectopod).--Ethereal Cereal (delete this note)
