Oh, StarDat.mpq, brings back memories. That was one of the major reasons I'm in this industry now - the file itself is a "virtual file system" (MOPAQ, with MO being IIRC the authors' initials) file with some CRC and obfuscation. As a kid, I was hell-bent on learning how it works, writing code to decode and encode it, and then use it in my own hobby projects. I learned a lot of concepts from that little rabbit hole. Hell, the way StarDat.mpq, BrooDat.mpq, and Patch_something.mpq interacted, was what you'd call "overlay FS" today.
