Global ID Database v5
The Global ID Database v5 (DB5) is the file created by HLSW to store all the captured players and their IDs.
The format specification below was originally written by User:Detritus after hours of guess work on the possible format used by HLSW.
The format has since been verified as correct by the HLSW team and further information added to allow developers to work with files created by older versions of HLSW (DB1, 2, 3, 4).
