New string format
| Offset | Size | Type | Description |
| 0x00 | 16 | Character buffer | Holds the string data if capacity < 16 |
| 0x00 | 4 | Character pointer | Points to the string data if capacity >= 16 |
| 0x10 | 4 | Length | Current length of the string |
| 0x14 | 4 | Capacity | Current capacity of the string buffer (also indicates which mode the string is in) |
Yes, the first two items overlap. This is correct. This is the MSVC Express string format - Toady appears to be using standard C++ structures pretty much everywhere.
Creature Structure
The creature vector is at 0x01415A00, so: List start: 0x01415A04 List end: 0x01415A08
Structure Offsets:
| Offset | Size | Type | Description |
| 0x00 | 4 | Vptr | Virtual function table pointer |
| 0x04 | 24 | First name | See above string format |
| 0x32 | 4 | Surname word 1 | No part of speech, like in the old structure |
| 0x36 | 4 | Surname word 2 | |
| 0x70 | 24 | Custom profession name | See above string format |
| 0x88 | 2 | Type ID #1 | These two are wild guesses - I believe they are dwarf types. They appear to be duplicated (I'm told Toady stores the original dwarf type for legends) and I don't know which is the "old" and which is the "new". I've entered the values I've found in the Type ID table below. #2 is the current type. |
| 0x8a | 2 | Type ID #2 | |
| 0x8C | 4 | Creature Race | A6 is the dwarf default (this may be different if the user has a mod installed) |
| 0xe4 | 4 | Flags | (1 << 1) if creature is dead (redundant?) |
| 0xe8 | 4 | Flags | (1 << 7) if creature is dead (redundant?)
(1 << 17) if creature is ready for slaughter |
| 0x458 | 104 | Labor preferences | 104 1 byte bools, corresponding to the profession list. |
Type ID list
Hideously incomplete and may be completely wrong.
| ID | Meaning |
| 0x00 | Miner |
| 0x04 | Woodcutter |
| 0x2f | Planter |
| 0x29 | Cook |
| 0x31 | Brewer |

| 0x6c | Creature |
Profession list
Obviously could do with some formatting.
