[Four] QuestCache.WDB File format

[antz]

Hi Everyone, I am attempting to parse the contains of QuestCache.WDB for MOP 5.4.7 and i'm struggling to match everything up since the file format has changed so much since the previous release.

Here's what I have so far:-

The QuestCache file contains 4 sections: HEADER, QUESTID, QUESTDATASIZE and QUESTDATA

A guess here that seems to be somewhat correct for the 56740 at least:
