LST File Format

Information about LST File Format in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Information
This is a simple text file where each line of the file corresponds to an element in a list. Each line uses the DOS style end of line markers CRLF ("\r\n"). The first line of the file contains data for element 0, the second line contains data for element 1 and so on.

The data for a line is typically a single word (usually the name of a file).

Comments are allowed in a LST file. Comments start with the semicolon ";", and continue to the end of the line. Blank lines and lines only containing comments are not allowed.

Example
Here is the first 5 lines from the LST file skilldex.lst, which correspond to elements 0 to 4.

STRENGTH.FRM ; Strength     (Basic Stat) PERCEPTN.FRM ; Perception   (Basic Stat) ENDUR.FRM    ; Endurance    (Basic Stat) CHARISMA.FRM ; Charisma     (Basic Stat) INTEL.FRM    ; Intelligence (Basic Stat)
