Hi,
First of all sorry for using English, i know Russian very well but i live in Israel, don't have a Russian keyboard, and so it is very hard for me and takes a long time to write in Russian.
If anyone has any problems of understanding, say so and then i will bother to write in Russian, but i hope that will not be necessary.
Of course you can feel free to write me back in Russian, i have no problem of reading (Otherwise it would have been hard to get here :P).
I am working on reverse engineering of the Arcanum file formats, currently i am figuring out how maps work (right now working on sec files).
I wrote information in a wiki about the formats that i mostly figured out already, you can check this out here:

I am posting this here before i am fully done because:
1) I have a full time Job and i am studying for a degree in CS and Mathematics so i might abandon this at some point due to not having enough time.
2) At this point i think i reached enough information that might be useful and as far as i know is not yet public knowledge (Unlike for example the art and dat files)
I hope someone except for myself will find it useful, you can also check the code i wrote so far in (And join in if you like python coding):

If you look on the git history you will see that two years ago i also wrote some code for this project (focusing on rendering the main menu and videos), i started over, and didn't port all the old stuff yet (so for example my decent art parsing is in the old commits but not in the new commits yet..)
Leon Vaiman.
p.s. another good reason for using English at least in this message is that its a duplicate message that i also posted in House of Lords and the Arcanum-Alive forums :P
