anyway as cool as this is, it only confirms my theory about how the resource-stuff is working. I still don't have code I can reuse or my own code to handle these resources, so I basically still have to write my own damn NE parsing code.
This is less work than it sounds like, but I am very much in a "reverse engineering" mood and not a "writing scripts to parse files I don't understand based on possibly incorrect reverse engineering source, debugging, and tracebacks"
