Better left for a future thread, BUT.
There are some things in the GR2 files that do not use the ID's.
They use the names themselves.
Much like cfg#FLG will call the animated flags.
It may have an ID for all versions of the Game?
But the name itself is the controller call.
So cfg#FLG_Whatever tells the Engine to use the animated flags.
It's ID then attaches to the proper render element, checks the Roster and Def files and you have the correct Flag on the right Ship at the right time.
Change the name of certain Elements in a GR2 file?
You will never see that Model in Game.
Or some really weird things can happen.
And the algorithm is based on every bit in the GR2 file.
Change a single vert or anything for that matter?
You get a CRC error with the stock GrannyViewer.
All you need to do then is 'touch' the GR2 file.
That corrects the CRC.
