ALIEN.DAT

This file contains information on the activity of aliens in both countries and regions. The same format is used for XCOM.DAT only it obviously applies to XCOM activity in the area.

Structure

The format is rather tedious and the best line width is 124 bytes, which will cover an entire month of both Countries and Regions. Each value is stored in 4 bytes in the usual low then high manner. It is presumed that they are signed and will go negative after FF FF FF 7F (0x7FFFFFFF in normal notation), but this has not been tested, nor should it be possible in the game normally.

The first record contains this month's information. The second last month's and so on.

These offsets were completely ripped from Hatfarm's website, with some rearrangement to aid look-up (hopefully)
