Sorry I don't know about this, I hope Watermelon is reading this.
As a long term goal we should consider converting txt files into a
more user friendly format, this could also bring more people into
modding. Since some lines consist of more than 20 entries of
different types having tags or some other value descriptors will be
helpfull (especially for files like structures.txt or weapons.txt).
Naturally 'xml' comes to my mind.

the last value of that super long scanf cant be a string,or the entire
line of pDataBuffer is screwed...(the last value of all .txt in stats
is an int value iirc)
I agree that the format should be changed to be more user
friendly,that 30 values or so per line delimited by ',' is very hard
to read and it's impossible to tell which value is for what without
looking at the stats.c.
reply to other emails all in one because of my laziness:
lua is probably too slow for data ,it's optimal for network info
generation/configuration.
xml should be ok as long as you dont read them in 'run-time'.
sql I really dislike using sql on anything other than web
stuff:slow,inflexible,too l33t to modify etc =)
probably the best solution is plain text with some 'describers' like
'[name]','[damage]' etc.
I vote for XML. It is really easy to get a good parser from somewhere,
and writing your own "language" always turns out to be far more work
than you expected.
