The MAPW format defines the map for a world, which is basically just a list of MAPA files.
Format
MAPW is essentially just an array of MAPA IDs. There's always one MAPA per area. The MAPW format has never been updated; every Prime game uses the same version of the format, version 1. The only difference is that Prime 1/2 have 32-bit file IDs, while Prime 3 has 64-bit ones.
| Offset | Type | Count | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | u32 | 1 | Magic | Always 0xDEADF00D
|
| 0x4 | u32 | 1 | Version | Always 1 |
| 0x8 | u32 | 1 | Area Map Count | Count of MAPA files in the next array |
| 0xC | Asset ID | Area Map Count | Area Map Array | Array of MAPA asset IDs |
