Cities Skylines CRP
CRP (Colossal Raw Asset Package) files are used in the game Cities: Skylines to store Unity game data like meshes, textures and game objects. CRPs act like archives to store multiple pieces of media. Textures are usually stored in DirectDraw Surface (.dds) format.

- This information can be used to export each section of the CRP to different files based on the offset from header and file size.
- On Windows systems, you can generally find your saved game files under
c:/Users/[username]/AppData/Local/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines/Saves.
ADDENDUM:
The file sections pointed to by the file_headers[x].offset_from_header
begin with a single byte zero,
followed by additional metadata, followed,
where applicable, by the packaged file verbatim.
From what I've seen, all except the Locale section start with an object identifier which is a counted short Pascal string. A counted Pascal string consists of a length byte followed by characters. It's not null terminated.
Additional metadata fields follow, depending on the object type.
