Wow you've managed to resuscitate a 3 year old thread.
In simple words, SCS doesn't care anymore, as far as they are concerned DW is a DEAD project so there will be no solution coming from them.
And as far as the community reverse engineering the format I think its a DEAD issue as well.
Maybe you haven't noticed but DW is not a mod friendly game, and SCS stance on modding hasn't really had a "positive" effect on the players.
Thats the reason why we have so few mods and they take years and years to develop. The players ended up being cought in the crossfire between SCS and the modding (that wanted to add new playable units....) community.
