New format???

[charlie-sans]

hey.
I am in the process of making a new file format
it's going to be ether .VR or .VIRT
it will be built on the already existing version 5 format of the NBS files
so there can be backward compatibility between my program and this one.

this is only a suggestion for the 4.0 update so you can take this as you will.

I have a python demo of the format for people to try so they can see how it works.

if you want I can comment with a GitHub repo containing the new format maker.

this format is licenced under the MIT licence, allowing it to be open source.
I hope I can make it an open source of not then let me know!

now i do want to let you know that this format will go thru heavy and extensive changes

There was a discussion about the future of the .nbs format in #307.

[charlie-sans]

how about we introduce the new stuff in #307 into this format with some other things

in the support channel in the discord. I have put an HTML file containing the new format for version 6-beta-1

obviously ill add the stuff in the #307 issue to this new format but for now, I can't make it as I can't understand the Pynbs thingie. so ill need to get help from the ben and val.

I have the base for it ready and can make the files and read/write to them. the problem is that I don't really know how Pynbs works. i did the things but it seams to be broken at the moment.

Hi! The new format you proposed is really interesting; however, since it's out of the scope for this project, I will be closing this issue for the moment. Feel free to suggest improvements to the existing format in #307, which is where we're tracking future additions to the current standard!
