OK, here is where I'm:

1. Decryption - I manage to found exactly the same that was used by PaulCr (I beleive it's exactly the same that Captin Maim have). And as I said above - at the moment Stars! encryption/decryption algorithm is publically available around that forum (I wouldn't describe here where it's exactly (Captin Maim if you want to know where and how I take it plz pm me), but beleive me if someone wants it - it's pretty easy to get it, I'd say it even easier then found blocks structure). As I understand from that forum, community most likely think that decryption shouldn't be public, so I don't know how bad it is. I have made a number of tests and they shows that it works perfect on any file types.

2. Blocks Structure - this one is tricky. There are a number of posts on that forum where PaulCr is describing blocks structure, so I was able to find out structure for about 36 of 46 blocks so far (some of them partially, but the stuff they contains could be skipped). What I need is to be able to load data from xy, m, x, h files, and then after making some changes to be able to write x file for beginning and h file later on. Currently xy file structure is completely decoded. m, x, h files is mostly decoded, but there are still some blocks that needs to be decoded, so any input on this is really appreciated.

I'm away from home now, so I'll post details later on, but the biggest issue I have at the moment is decoding Design and Partial Designs, also I can't understand how does Stars! match Designs to the specific ship in fleet (while I was able to completely decode fleet block), when there are 2 or more designs in m file with the same id (one belongs to you and another one belongs to your allyers/enemy). Also I'm going to spend some time on decoding race block (so far it's partially decoded), so if someone can give me a hint here, you are really welcome! Wink

As for Server Messages block - I can decode it euristically (i.e. manually), but can't find how does Stars! do it automatically, since even for one message id there could be different agrguments length/structure.

Also I'm wondering what blocks 32 and 33 means. 32 seems contains number of followed planets and one more number that is uknown. 33 contains something that I cannot match to any type of info in Stars!, but it always placed after Planets blocks.

PS: I'm going to skip battles blocks, and wouldn't even try to decode it at least for now, since they are not important for my task. But Server Messages could be usefull.
