'''GDA''' files contain [[2DA]]s that have been converted from their Excel-format source into a form that can be used by the toolset and the game.

 GDA V0.2 files have two gtop GFF structs and two colm (column list) structs. The rows (row list) structs are the same amount as columns in the 2DA. The v0.2 format is quite fixed in the beginning, so 7C is the location for the four rows struct's description (see GFF).
-The struct descriptor can give you the size as GDApp doesn't pad bools and UINT8s in general. The size of each element can be aqcurired through size[n - 1] = offset[n] - offset[n - 1] and the last one size[last n] = totalRowsSize - offset[n].

The size of each element can be aqcurired through size[n - 1] = offset[n] - offset[n - 1] and the last one size[last n] = totalRowsSize - offset[n]. If you intend on only using ExcelProcessor's GDAs, which is unwise, you can assume the size for everyone as 4 bytes.
 In the raw data part you will after 12 bytes, come across a hash number (default CRC32 hash) and a type identifier. Here it is string (0), int (1), float (2), boolean (3) and resource (4). Excelprocessor's ones leave a three-byte padding, but don't take it for granted.

 The headers of 2DA files are stored as a numeric hash, generated with the CRC32 hash algorithm used on the lowercase of the UTF16 string (so it is case independent).
