Wow Xela...What are the chances of finding two people to help you within a couple of hours?

Anyway, I've downloaded Deniz's solution and it's far more elegant than mine..so please delete all traces of the file I sent you... preferably without trying it out.

It would certainly be interesting to see a drawing based on those coordinates....maybe then those 0,0,1 numbers might make more sense.

I've created a quick and dirty parser for you. I'll mail it to your hotmail....

Good work!

Well, that seems to be all finished now. I'll get back to TAW.

....but it was only six months ago! It's your activity on March 5th 2006 I'm interested in. You provided the script to extract files from the DID.dat file and then suggested what the file extensions were, most of which have turned out to be correct. I know it was a long time ago but I was wondering ...

I can't say I'm sure about what you're trying to do here but it looks like your, and AXE's, interpretation of floats is the right one. I'm damned if I know why though. Anyway, all I can see in the first two rows are the same 4 numbers: 1077.8125 1070.0000 1062.8125 1055.0000 Now 1077.8125-1062.8125 ...

Even though a lot of progress has been made, I still have some questions regarding this game: Using Multiex it is possible to extract 12588 files although there are no names attached to them. Where are the filenames likely to be stored? in the .dat file itself or the game .exe? On page 2 of this thr...

A couple of points... 00 da 84 44 = 1.06281250e+003 = ??? =1062.81250 The scientific notation 'e+003' means move the decimal point 3 places to the right, but...... ...I have trouble understanding how you've converted the hex values to decimal in the first place. As far as I can see, 1062.8125 would ...

Just to let you know that I don't have the time to look into this,or TAW, at the moment. Please keep posting anything relevant though.
I'll hopefully be back in action sometime next week...assuming you haven't solved everything in the meantime.

Sorry, I can't seem to help you with this one.
I see no correlation between those floating point numbers and the hex values, at least in any number system I'm familiar with.

How do you know that the text files are a representation of those binaries?

Damn, I still haven't had the time to try out krus/krusade's program. Although the at the rate that you're going Xela, I may not need to.

Wow, swift answer! I think I might have tried adding the BMS to MRF but got an error message. I'll get back to you with the details. It's almost certainly RTFM trouble on my part. Thanks for the information regarding the archive header. I've haven't really dealt with with this sort of stuff beforem,...

I've been thinking along the same lines. I counted about 12300 files which are read from the dat file by the game if it is run until the main menu. I think the MultiEx program finds 12588 files and I've been trying to match up these two sources of information. A problem I have is that I can't seem t...
