    Hmm these line-break problems are pretty weird. I played around with your above post and if you cut the entries somewhere linebreaks seem to work.

    Edit: All right, it seems the "[code]"-tags can't have more than 65 lines each (or there's a maximum number of letters), so you have to split very large ones up.
    Don't ask me why, though, maybe the programmer used a fixed-length array.
    I pretty arbitrarily split your post into 5-line-packages with 4 of your float entries and/or all the strings. It seems (if you interpreted the float/string stuff correctly) that this stuff usually consist of 17 floats and a granny string? 17 is really weird, being a prime number it doesn't make much sense for coordinates or anything unless one or two of the numbers mean something else

    Edit2: Meh damn pattern-detecting brain... For the granny strings, a subdivision into packages of four seems to make most sense, too (skipping the very first one). The first seems to differ most, the second one is often 0, sometimes 1 or 2 and very rarely 3 - and the third and fourth are always 0 I think. So #1 could be an id or a link or something, #2 could be a flag with three options and the other two are unused (in this file).
    I also read your post and you mentioned the 4x4 matrices
    Translation matrix, huh. Makes sense in a way. The question is: What does the 17th float do?
