FOURTH PART After the third part, there is another serie of 32-bytes structures, slightly different from the previous one (Now I'm inspecting Normandy 2 mp zone): [byte]      b1 [byte]      b2 [byte]      b3 [byte]      b4 [short]     O > increasing number, highest value is up to number of objects ...

THIRD PART As preannunced by HdMaster, it is a serie of 32-bytes-long structures. I copy it from his post (slightly modified), labeling the values for future use: [byte]      b1 [byte]      b2 [byte]      b3 [byte]      b4 [short]     C1 [short]     O1 > increasing number, highest value is identica...

I've tried some experiments. First Moving a solid object will make non-solid both where the object now is (new position), and where the object once were (old position). This is my theory: tree.klz tells the game which objects to test for collision, regarding my position in game. For example, if I am...

I'm trying the new version of the plugin with 3ds max 9.0 and get this error: -- Type Error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined and is highlighted this line: header_time = ReadDouble f Does anybody know how to fix it? I've also installed the FBX 2009.3 Plug-in for 3ds Max 9.0 but seems it ...

Hi Hdmaster! Welcome back! Always a pleasure hearing from you :) I had no time to write all I discovered, before. I'll add the other informations as soon as possible. Ok, let's say there are at least 2 parts, maybe more. I've found out also where max / min values are stored, and a sort of 3-d grid w...

THE SECOND PART The second part begins with 4 floats, which are the map boundaries. I'll call them - min X - min Z - max X - max Z It seems there is no hint to Y values (height). Here, "min X" float is highlighted (~-23.013 for Alps 2): http://malgolan.altervista.org/forumImages/tree/min%20X.jpg "A...

THE FIRST PART I think I've hacked completely the first part. Here is an excel that summarize it: http://malgolan.altervista.org/forumImages/tree/first part.xls (the part above the light blue line). Here a detail (with examples taken by Alps 2): First 8 bytes is an header (which is always the same,...

Hi everyone. I've started looking at tree.klz to understand how collisions works. It seems a long and difficoult way, though. So I'll post every discovery I make here.. Maybe someone else will have ideas. First of all, I advice to read how collision trees usually works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

When a definition is missing its specification (a specification with the same label), it's pointed out with a red exclamation mark: http://malgolan.altervista.org/forumImages/rev2tree5.jpg Do you think it's sufficient? Would you like also a pop-up on loading the file, or would it be too invasive? Or...

Hi!
I've added "delete" and "duplicate" functionalities to my DC-ED-like editor.
If someone would you like to do some beta testing, please contact me!

Well, maybe is not the best solution you can imagine, but it's still better than manually download and save maps.

And if a stand-alone client costs 10 units of programmation, while an autopatching system costs 100 units,
maybe the stand-alone solution could be a good starting point.

I've never tried such a thing 
Maybe hdmaster knows more than me.
If you can give me an example (a mission where this is achieved)
I could try to reverse engineer
and replicate it....

Even without modifing the HD2 exe, I was thinking about an indipendent client (a software by itself) which connects to a certain IP (the server IP), then look inside a shared folder with a particular name, and then synchronize the actual hidden directory with what is found inside that server directo...

Yes, a known problem. Also, a "synch over lan" would be helpful. Every time I make a new mission, all the people at the lan party have to copy it into the right folder. And not all of them are good at this, so it takes a lot of time! A client which connect to the server and synchronize it's own pc w...

Thank you! :) Help is always appreciated! I'll fix 0x0032 (just a label rename is needed). I read as raw data all those blocks that are not worthing to modify (or I did not understand). For example, the 0x24AE of ladder definitions is always the same (I suppose) and there is no need to change or und...
