Maximum number of vertices is 768 and maximum polygons supported is 512. There should be exactly 3 vertices per polygon (polygons can share vertices).
Those are the differences against PIE4 I worked out together with Kage and Grim. I added some generic information on the different versions of the format and merged the PIE5 draft in. Since the only remaining difference between PIE5 and PIE6 was the demand for a TEXTURE and FLAGS+200, I put those 2 also in PIE5 and removed PIE6. Further I do think we should cleanup PIE5 from any old cruft "for backwards compatibility". Warzone 2100 1.x, PieSlicer or any other legacy application cannot parse PIE5 anyway, so we should not care about that. At least Warzone 2100 1.x (and I hope PieSlicer, too) checks the first line of each file to match in version, so there will not be any problem, either. --Dennis
