Item file (items.000) structure
===============================
All integers in the file are either 32-bit signed or 8-bit unsigned.
In the tables below "var" length denotes a variable-length field.
Arrays will start with a length field, followed by a number of records equal
to the length field. i.e if length is 0, then no array follows.
The item file is a header, followed by an array of items, with the following structure:
Field | Len | Notes
------------|-----|-------------------------
head | 4 | Always = -101
num_special | 4 | Number of "special" items
len_ids | 4 | Length of ID array
ids | var | Signed 32-bit int array of len_ids length
id_check | 4 | Last ID in ids, repeated
len_items | 4 | Number of items in the list that follows
items | var | Array of len_items item records
The ids array will contain some place holders with ID of 0, and these
ids don't appear in the items list.
