It might be more helpful to look at the source for simutrans-pak64.  The
PAK files contain images and some meta-information (e.g. what goods a
vehicle can transport).  They are not meant to be edited directly.

makeobj calls fclose() twice on the same file descriptor just before
exiting, it would not output anything after this.

You should take a look at the Simutrans Forum [1].  There should be some
information on how to create new objects for Simutrans (I have not done
so myself, so I cannot help you there).
