dag - Tkachov/ALERT GitHub Wiki

dag.py | sections/dag/unknowns.py | rivet's format doc

Defines dependency graph for assets. DAT1 format, sometimes zlib-compressed. Includes assets' names, thus is useful when making 'hashes.txt'. Assets are not required to be listed here, so it usually stays unchanged in modding.

Has DependencyDag string in it, and Dag obviously stands for "directed acyclic graph".

Magic is 0x891F77AF (compressed, SO/MSMR/MM) or 0xB8EF3955 (not compressed, RCRA/i30/i33).

As this file doesn't have to be edited for mods to work, it typically isn't. Because of that, ALERT implementation is very incomplete. Other implementations: Ripped Apart, rivet.
