BUILDING BLOCKS
The BTB file consists of chunks of the form:
struct CHUNK_HEADER { unsigned int chunkType; unsigned int chunkSize; // excluding header };
Each chunk consists of 'records' which are similar to chunks, but the record size is inclusive of the header.
struct RECORD_HEADER { unsigned int recordType; unsigned int recordSize; // including header };
OVERALL FILE STRUCTURE
The observed format of the BTB files in Dark Omen follows in order:
START/END CHUNK, type=0xBEAFEED0, size=0 HEADER CHUNK, type=0, size=240 UNKNOWN CHUNK, type=1, size=<varies> OBSTACLES CHUNK, type=2, size=<varies> REGION CHUNK 0, type=3, size=<varies> REGION CHUNK 1, type=3, size=<varies> . . . REGION CHUNK n, type=3, size=<varies> GAME OBJECT CHUNK, type=4, size=<varies> START/END CHUNK, type=0xBEAFEEDO, size=0
START/END CHUNK
This chunk is just a marker of the start/end of the file; it contains no data
HEADER CHUNK
HEADER CHUNK, type=0, size=240 INTEGER RECORD (<Map width in tiles> * 8) type=1, size=12 INTEGER RECORD (<Map height in tiles> * 8) type=2, size=12 STRING RECORD (Mercenary Army file name without extension) type=1001, size=40 STRING RECORD (Enemy Army file name without extension) type=1002, size=40 STRING RECORD (CTL filename without extension) type=1003, size=40 STRING RECORD ("/0") type=1004, size=40 STRING RECORD ("/0") type=1005, size=40 2-TUPLE RECORD ( [Number of Regions in file, Number of line segments in all regions] ) type=9, size=16
UNKNOWN CHUNK
This chunk is made up of several 3-tuples, which contain unknown data
UNKNOWN CHUNK, type=2, size=<varies> 3-TUPLE RECORD 0 (unknown) type=3, size=20 3-TUPLE RECORD 1 (unknown) type=3, size=20 . . . 3-TUPLE RECORD n (unknown) type=3, size=20
OBSTACLES CHUNK
This chunk seems to contain information about obstacles on the map (e.g. trees)
OBSTACLES CHUNK, type=3, size=<varies> INTEGER RECORD (unknown) type=8, size=12
COMPOUND RECORD 0 (contains sub-records) type=501, size=80 INTEGER RECORD (type of obstacle - might be bit flags) type=5, size=12 INTEGER RECORD (x position) type=1, size=12 INTEGER RECORD (y position) type=2, size=12 INTEGER RECORD (unknown) type=4, size=12 INTEGER RECORD (radius of area) type=6, size=12 INTEGER RECORD (unknown - normally 0) type=7, size=12 COMPOUND RECORD 1 (contains sub-records) type=501, size=80 . . . COMPOUND RECORD n (contains sub-records) type=501, size=80
