Tes4Mod:Mod File Format/TREE

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

A TREE record defines a tree. For TESCS parameter descriptions, see CSWiki: Tree.

Subrecord	Type	Info
EDID	zstring	Container editor ID
MODL	zstring	Model filename
MODB	unknown	Follows MODL subrecord
ICON	zstring	Leaf texture map file name.
SNAM	struct?	Short + n ints?
CNAM	struct?	Short + n floats? (usually? 8 floats)
BNAM	struct?	Short + n floats? (usually? 2 floats)

It's been suggested that the last three parameters all start with a short indicating the byte length of the rest of the data. However, such a length parameter would be unnecessary (the length of the field is known, so simply divide by four to get the number of elements. OTOH, perhaps the unnecessary dats is included because it's a dump of the native format of a "speedtree" application.
