Not much is known about Weaver outside of interviews with developers and [[LEGO_Island_Versions#Korean_Release|recovered Weaver input files]]. It can be inferred that Weaver would take *.SS files, descriptors with C-like syntax of the files to be interleaved and their parameters, and produce SI files. As far as we know, Weaver, Interleaf files, and SS files are all proprietary tools only ever used for LEGO Island. Weaver could be considered analogous to an archiving program like Tar. It doesn't perform any compression, but does collect several files into one while also structuring them in a very particular way. | Not much is known about Weaver outside of interviews with developers<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1chL_iGfo-h559vnR6ds_ZDnLWicZ48RYxFlf1wmV2aE/edit Interview with Brandon Davis, 3D artist on LEGO Island]</ref> and [[LEGO_Island_Versions#Korean_Release|recovered Weaver input files]].
