0x04Signature (eflk)
0x44Version
0x84User data count
0xC4String table offset

After the header is a list of user data entry pointers.

User Data Pointer

OffsetSizeDescription
0x04Data offset (from start of file)
0x44Name offset (from string table)

Each data points to a user data section

User Data

OffsetSizeDescription
0x04Unknown (usually 9)
0x44Num emitter set param/index tables.
0x84Num emitter resources.
0xC4Num emitter action param table.
0x104Num actions.
0x144String table offset (relative from start of this header).
0x184Unkown (4).

Then each section is in order.
