[DiscordArchive] does string block offsets start with 1 or 0 ? i mean string ends with empty byte so string `Hangar`

The standard I am referring to is C strings. The uint stored in each record string field is an offset into the string block. The reader reads from that position until a empty byte is found.

If you follow that convention it doesn't matter how you write it, it will work

You are trying to put more structure to it. Sometimes there will be an empty byte at the start of the string block, sometimes not. Sometimes there will be lots of empty bytes, sometimes just 1. It's not guaranteed.

to me placing empty byte and then string is just manual way not "native" how to achieve c string format but i could be wrong

The empty byte at the start of the block is because an empty string is typically the first thing to be written

If you read from position 0 and immediately encounter a empty byte (string terminator) then you know you've finished reading and return the result (empty string)

An empty string doesn't have to be at the start of the string block
