The Lego Island World Database format is for a particular file in the Mindscape game Lego Island. This file stores all of the models and textures used in the game. The path to the file from the Lego Island installation directory is "LEGO Island\lego\data\WORLD.WDB".
[edit] Format
This format is not complete in that not every model can be extracted using this method, but it is the closest description of the format that works at this time.

// struct groups[x] -> A data structure called groups that is repeated x number of times.
// uint32 -> An unsigned integer that is 32 bits in size.
