Script by DKDave:

Goto 4
Get ENTRIES Long
Get TEMPNAME basename

Math OFFSET = 0x800

For A = 0 < ENTRIES
	Get SIZE Long
	Get PAD_SIZE Long
	String FILENAME P "%TEMPNAME%_%A%"
	Log FILENAME OFFSET SIZE
	Math OFFSET + PAD_SIZE
Next A

Notes and Comments

• This file format occurs in games made by Behaviour Interactive (earlier known as Artificial Mind & Movement).
