Paths

Nearly all functions that take paths or XML attributes that are paths allow the use of certain case-sensitive prefixes that change which directory the path is relative to.

LEVEL/

Relative to the directory with the same name as the current level XML in its parent directory. Kind of hard to explain. For example, if the current level is data/level/lee.xml, paths starting with LEVEL/ will be relative to data/level/lee/.

MOD/

Relative to the current mod directory.

RAW:

Absolute path.

LIBRARY/

Relative to data/library/ in game directory.

Level format

Modded levels are in XML format. The root element of a level is a <scene> element. This is also the original format of the base game levels, but the source files of the base game levels are not included in the release builds' files. They are baked into a proprietary binary format referred to by the community as "TDBIN". Binary levels are stored in data/bin/, have .bin extensions, and are compressed with DEFLATE and can be decompressed/recompressed with zlib-flate—except for quicksaves, which are uncompressed and located at %LOCALAPPDATA%/Teardown/quicksave.bin.

Versions

Please ensure you are familiar with Steam's technical vocabulary.

Ver.

The value of the game.version registry node (game registry, not Windows registry).

Patch

The value of the game.version.patch registry node. 0.5.5 (6205729) was the earliest build to have support for this, and 0.6.2 (patch 1) (6324468) was the first build to make use of it.

Timestamp

Timestamp in UTC of timeupdated field in earliest changelist referencing the build.

Build ID

Rows without this value are non-Steam builds.

Manifest ID

Manifest ID for the sole public Teardown depot (1167634). Another depot (1167631) is known to exist, but it has no known builds.

Branches

The branches the build was pushed to, separated by commas, in order of first to last.

CRC-32

CRC-32 checksum of game executable (teardown.exe or teardown-perftest.exe) in hexadecimal. Rows without this value are builds I don't have access to.

Announcement

Announcement corresponding to that build, if there was any.

Remark

Any miscellaneous information regarding the build. "LCS only" means the build is not public despite having a public manifest ID as it is only on branches that require access to a local content server.
