APT

Description

Apt files are flash based user interface files (based on the SWF file format created by Macromedia). Other than the SWF format the contents are splitted into multiple files, which are all in a single .big archive. Much of the information presented here was gathered from the apt2xml and xml2apt tools that are available for download here.

Constant Data

The constant variables that are used for the GUI are all stored in a .const file. The specification of that format is described here.

Apt Data

All parts of the GUI logic and display system are stored inside the .apt file. Before you are able to load the .apt file you are required to load the .const file to get the entry offset. The specification of that format can be found here.
