There is one line of data per hour in the game, per weather type (except in San Andreas, where there are hours Midnight, 5AM, 6AM, 7AM, Midday, 7PM, 8PM, and 10PM. In the [[Vice City]] and San Andreas timecyc.dat, there is an extra section at the bottom of the file named "EXTRACOLOURS". These extra colours are used for building interiors, but should function the same.
