PRO File Format

Note: All file paths (folders) are relative to either master.dat (or critter.dat) if packed, or to Fallout's data folder if unpacked.

This document describes the format of Fallout and Fallout 2 *.pro files, which are located in proto/. Each item, critter, wall, tile, and piece of scenery in the game has its own corresponding PRO file. The PRO file name is usually generated using the object's ObjectID.

Format description
All controlling values in an PRO file are stored in big-endian format. First 56 bytes are common for all PROs, they are followed by values specific for each type (and subtype, for Items and Scenery).

Repeated values
These are values that appear in more than one PRO type/subtype.
