Initial commit I can parse some of the data files, and extract individual frames from .obj files. I can't yet convert those frames into something viewable.

**You must have a copy of the original game data to use this project**
WH40K.exe is the existing game engine
WH40K_TD.exe is the map editor. Allows things to be saved as .MAP or as .SMF
("Super Macro File")

This README is a grab-bag of miscellaneous information about file formats at
present. This is being migrated to the [Formats overview](doc/formats/index.md)
as a precursor to making this file useful!

I'm writing code in Go at the moment, so you'll need to have a Go runtime
installed on your system:
```
$ go version
go version go1.10 linux/amd64
```
Clone the source tree to `$GOPATH/src/ur.gs/chaos-gate`. You can then run
`make loader` or `make view-map` to get the two binaries that exist at present.
They're not very interesting :D.
Place your WH40K: Chaos Gate installation in `./orig` to benefit from automatic
path defaults. Otherwise, point to it with `-game-path`
Dependency management uses `dep`. Unless you're contributing code you shouldn't
have to worry about it.

From EquipDef.cpp Dumo: CEquipment we learn the following object types:
0. DELETED
1. WEAPON
2. GRENADE
3. MEDIPACK
4. SCANNER
5. GENESEED
6. CLIP
7. DOOR KEY
8. DOOR KEY
9. DOOR KEY
10. DOOR KEY
And we learn they can be "on"....
0. CHARACTER
1. VEHICLE
2. CANISTER
Hypothesis: Idx/WarHammer.idx points objects into bitmap data in Anim/WarHammer.ani
We can use WH40K_TD.exe and investigate reads of .idx followed by reads of .ani
to test this.
WH40K_TD.exe opens files in this order:
1. Data/USEng.dta
