And like many other companies, they did it themselves without using other's efforts.

You mean there is some sort of table to "function calls", where each cell is one DWORD long, and points to a function identifier followed by some arguments? : Oddworld Mods & Hacks 02-26-2010, 06:06 AM : 1,763 .lvl files : 411,730 ThibG mlg man, well, this is not really a set of... mlg man, well, this is not really a set of scripts, but a python module to handle Oddworld files.

Paul, so you've been playing with the Path files? Could you document the structure you've understood so far? Have you checked if it's the same format in AE? : Oddworld Mods & Hacks 02-23-2010, 04:03 AM : 1,763 .lvl files : 411,730 ThibG Namida, I, personnaly, am working with AE, PC... Namida, I, personnaly, am working with AE, PC version. You can have a look at my tools and doc (http://hg.sitedethib.com/oddworld-formats/), and try to find how the Anim format works.

Jango, the initial goal (at least mine) was to reimplement the game engine. If we can do that, we sure can do a level editor. But either way, it'll take a long time to go.

It has nothing to do with the engine (I guess... but maybe there's something to tag screens as "secret area").

If I've not screwed up with it since, it should make you control both Abe and Slig. I've managed to do this by comparing save files and... : Oddworld Mods & Hacks 01-25-2010, 10:53 PM : 1,763 .lvl files : 411,730 ThibG @Paul, I know that, I'm trying to decode the... @Paul, I know that, I'm trying to decode the first segment. @mlg man, try and search for character identifiers.

Yeah, that's why I asked if it's Little Endian. It would make sense if it's Little Endian, to read a double word instead of a word (already in LE).

Thanks for the RE-ed code! One little question, though... Is this code the PS1 code or the PC code? I mean, the system on which this code is ran is in Little Endian or Big Endian?

Huffman tables are not in the MDEC part, but in the common movie file format (STR). So, the table haven't anything to do with the emulator.

I've updated DDV and NxtP infos a few days ago, if you are interested in it. @Paul, I'm interested in Anim files.
