Re: Animations
Well, I tested unpacking all the cas files and found examples
violating almost all of the rules from a couple posts back.
The first of the last eight floats is the animation time in
seconds. The header in descr_skeletons.dat say there will always
be an odd number of frames so this number will always be a multiple
of a tenth of a second. Otherwise the remaining seven floats I have
no rules for.
The header bytes aren't always 20 0 20 (14 00 14 hex), they have lots
of variations especially for the stratmap anims. The final 8 bytes aren't
always FF FF 0F 00 00 00 00 00 they have lots of variations too.
Here's a chunk with some stratmap examples from the extraction log:
The header and trailers are in decimal and I'm showing the three headerCode:31 20 20 data/animations/MTW2_Swordsman/MTW2_Swordsman_at_mid_c_stab_v1_s1_slashrl_fail.cas 39586546 18149 255 255 15 0 0 0

bytes as a short and a byte so 20 0 20 is shown as 20 20.
I modified two .cas files for MTW2_Spear and tried putting them in game
using the no_animdb=1 and no_animdb=true under [util] in my cfg file
under the assumption it was like the io_filefirst switch, i.e. only put in
modified files under /data/animations. No joy. Thinking it might be an
all or nothing I put the whole unpacked animations directory and
renamed pack.dat and pack.idx. This just crashed. That's all the experiments
so far.
Edit: The .evt event files referred to in descr_skeleton.txt aren't in pack.dat
so is it crashing because they're not there? Couldn't find them by hexing through
events.dat, that's related to other sound events.
