 Format of nodes
 ----------------
 A node is composed of the u8 fields param0, param1 and param2.
 
-The content id of a node is determined as so:
+if map format version <= 23:
-- If param0 < 0x80,
+    The content id of a node is determined as so:
-    content_id = param0
+    - If param0 < 0x80,
-- Otherwise

-    content_id = (param0<<4) + (param2>>4)
+    - Otherwise
+        content_id = (param0<<4) + (param2>>4)
+if map format version >= 24:
+    The content id of a node is param0.
 
 The purpose of param1 and param2 depend on the definition of the node.
