GLST PRAY Block Format

GLST blocks are found in .creature PRAY files and are Zlib-encoded CreaturesArchive data. They store all events in a creature's history.
User text on the conceived/engineered/spliced/cloned events define the creature's description as in the Creatures 3/Docking Station UI.

File format[edit]
GLST blocks are little-endian encoded, and all strings within them are not null-terminated.
| type | description |
|---|---|
| uint32 | CreaturesArchive file version (0xc for Creatures 3 and 0x27 for Docking Station) |
| uint32 | number of monikers in this file (usually 1) |
| string[number of monikers] | monikers |
| CreatureHistory[number of monikers] | history for each moniker |
CreatureHistory
| string | moniker (again) |
| string | name |
| uint32 | gender (1=male 2=female) |
| uint32 | genus |
| uint32 | species |
| uint32 | number of events |
| Event[number of events] | events (see below) |
| uint32 | point mutations during conception (if creature was conceived, seems to be totally different if creature was not conceived) |
| uint32 | crossover points during conception (if creature was conceived, seems to be totally different if creature was not conceived) |

Event Numbers[edit]
- 0 - Conceived (associated monikers 1 and 2 are mother and father, respectively. User text is here.)
- 1 - Creature spliced (associated monikers 1 and 2 are mother and father, respectively. Creature doesn't necessarily need a mother/father. This event occurs both in creatures spliced with the gene splicer and creatures from the egg layers. User text is here)
- 2 - Engineered (associated moniker 2 is the genome the norn was based on. User text is here)
- 3 - Hatched (associated monikers 1 and 2 are mother and father, respectively)
- 4 - Creature life stage
- 5 - Creature exported
- 6 - Creature imported
- 7 - Died
- 8 - Got pregnant (associated moniker 1 is the child, associated moniker 2 is the mother
- 9 - Made another creature pregnant (associated moniker 1 is the child, associated moniker 2 is the mother)
- 10 - Child born (associated moniker 1 is the child, associated moniker 2 is the other parent)
- 11 - My egg was laid (associated moniker 1 is the mother)
- 12 - Laid egg (associated moniker 1 is the baby)
- 13 - Photo taken of me (associated PHOT block name is the photo that was taken)
- 14 - I was cloned from another creature (associated moniker 1 is the original. User text is here.)
- 15 - Another creature was cloned from me (associated moniker 1 is the clone)
- 16 - Docking Station creature warped out (file version 0x27 only)
- 17 - Docking Station creature warped in (file version 0x27 only)
