010 editor 24bit uint

[twisted]

Hi, I'm currently writing a 010 editor template script and I'm having trouble reading some file offsets in the contents table as they are stored as a 24bit uint and 010 editor does not support type casting.

I've tried bitfields but they don't seem to calculate the offset correctly and always display 0. Does anyone know a work around for this?

Thanks in advance.

Managed to get the bitfields to work so never mind!

How did you solve it? Maybe others might run into the same problem.

My mistake was using bytes instead of bits, so I had typed:

Code: Select all

uint offset : 3
uint flag : 1

when it should have been:

Code: Select all

uint offset : 24
uint flag : 8
