I'd like to say... not exactly.
You see, with just a little tweaking, it could be possible. The sheet IDs could just be stored locally. The pro-side is that not every section needs to be changed, you could just trial it on a relatively small section, or a few, and slowly expand it to the rest if it's going alright. In fact, you could also just ID certain ones, and do a check during parsing, to see which file should be displayed using the ID and which using the filename. Eventually when everything is ID'd, remove the file-based parsing.
It's simple
EDIT:
For example, let's take the next data:
You could just change it into this:
Code:
[Playable Characters]
tod_rutee||png||png||0000
[NPCs]
tod_batista||png||png||0001
tod_bishop||png||png||0002
tod_captain||png||png||DAZZ
tod_draconiscaptain||png||png
tod_draconiscrewman||png||png
tod_ilene||png||png
tod_john||png||png
tod_maids||png||png
tod_penguin||png||png
tod_sailor||png||png
In fact, you could just use strings instead of using just numbers.
