Op2art Viewer & Info

[Cynex]

In the archive are the viewer (with dll) and two descriptive files about the game internal structures.

I know Hooman already found most of it, nevertheless it may still be useful so it's in.

Please don't bother about the wrong C-Syntax in the files.
"__fixed 0" is just my inverntion and means that the data is stored in RAM at the following offset (at position "0 + X" in the internal structure).

In the viewer, batch save should work now and bitmaps shouldn't look distorted anymore.
There also was a slight misalignment problem with the frame extended info which has been resolved.


For batch save:
It uses commands like 'img()', 'pic()', 'frm()', 'grp()' which take ranges ("a-b, c d, e" or similar) or just the ranges without command, to save the selected type.

If you batch save a group, all frames of the group will be saved seperately. This is also the reason why you have to use batch save to save groups at all (though I might change that later).

If you want info on how to use the dll or any other questions regarding the arts feel free to ask.

Nice, the txt files just info about the format yea?

One is about the format of the PRT and the other is about the structures in RAM when the arts are loaded by op2.

However I just noticed the RAM offsets in one of the files are slightly wrong (I took them for the german version).

Here are the appropriate offsets for the english version:

The beginning of the art-structure (in mem) is: 0x4EFD68
Therefore the image-count is at: 0x50B390 and the group count at: 0x546B94

In the PRT the image count is at 0x2504, the group count is: 0x1CA20, frame count: 0x1CA24, pic count: 0x1CA28, ext-info count: 0x1CA2C.

Hope this doesn't confuse you too much.

Can we release the viewer for all to use??
