No, the specs do seem different. The main difference is that in the new addition, these is a separate directory, whereas in the original specs the directory and the file data are intermixed.
For example, in the original specs the archive would look like this...<br>
File 1 Details<br>
File 1 Data<br>
File 2 Details<br>
File 2 Data<br>
...<br>
File X Details<br>
File X Data<br>
In the new specs, the format is as follows...<br>
File 1 Details<br>
File 2 Details<br>
...<br>
File X Details<br>
File 1 Data<br>
File 2 Data<br>
...<br>
File X Data<br>
At least that is how it appears in the specs posted here - hopefully that helps understand the difference.

This is correct what [[user:WATTO|WATTO]] has stated. The list of files in the archive are first, followed by their data. Also the unknown 8-byte uint is the length of each file's filename. I've written a program that successfully lists and extracts files from a .stuff archive and it's working for any of the files used by EVE Online. I'm working on being able to create/modify .stuff archives now.

No, the specs do seem different. The main difference is that in the new addition, these is a separate directory, whereas in the original specs the directory and the file data are intermixed.

For example, in the original specs the archive would look like this...
File 1 Details
File 1 Data
File 2 Details
File 2 Data
...
File X Details
File X Data

In the new specs, the format is as follows...
File 1 Details
File 2 Details
...
File X Details
File 1 Data
File 2 Data
...
File X Data

At least that is how it appears in the specs posted here - hopefully that helps understand the difference.
