This page describes the format of the file. The page is work in progress.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | char[4] | String that spells "STB", terminated by a null byte |
| 0x4 | uint16 | Byte order mark? Always 0xFEFF |
| 0x8 | uint32 | Total file size |
| 0xC | uint32 | Amount of objects |
| 0x10 | char[8] | String that spells "jstudio" |
| 0x18 | uint8[6] | Likely 6 bytes of padding |
| 0x1E | int16 | Unknown. Always 0x4? |
After the STB header follows object data. The following info explains that object data:
JFVB
JFVB is one of the possible objects that can appear in the stb file. The size of the JFVB data is usually big because it's like its own section inside the file. For the purpose of the object count, JFVB counts as one object
