I see, but that has to be the dumbest thing I've had to deal with in a while.
What about someone expecting their struct to be say 42 bytes and the compiler makes it 44 instead, it drove me nuts because I thought I screwed up while figuring out the headers.
But some odd idea had me printf out the result of sizeof( hl_sprheader_t ) to check the size so I could look at it in the hex editor.

2 More quick things...

1. Since I more or less figured out the file format, am I free from valve's sdk license? ( never looked at the hlsdk for this, only created sprites in a hex editor )
2. Everything written more than 1 byte at a time has to be swapped if running on a machine with a different endianness? And if so, how do you tell which it was created on?

Thanks for the help so far.
