Hm, and i thought that i'll be the first to post info about __da files. 
But i didnt make it. Never thought about other type than 4byte float.
I'll post info that i gathered in the evening ... i dont have it at this computer.
Fice: yes, i think that 1 means 'model_bound' too.
========== so shadows came and evening is here =====
so here is what do i think that files are:
AA skeleton file
AB might be list of magics ?
AC-AJ Textures
AM-BZ Body parts P
CK-CZ Weapons P
DA skeleton movement
==== AA - skeleton file:
(but all of you know about this)
offset 0x0C (long) number of bones
offset 0x1C (long) ?? but same as in DA
0x30 (long) might be checksum
0x34: bone info start:
number of bones * {
(long) parent, -1 = root, 0 based)
(float) bone length, negative, i dunno why
(long) model_bound: 1 = yes, 0 = no
} (record length:12b)
==== DA:
file goes like this, starting on offset 0
(long) recs count of records
recs * {
(long) rec_a = ??, but usually same for all blocks
(long) rec_b = ??
(long) block_length, always modulo 4 == 0
block data block, block_length bytes long
}
block:
{
(short) block_a, same as rec_b
(short) real_data_len ??
data data block, real_data_len bytes long, at least i think so.
this isn't even allways, so there should be some variable
info in this data block
}
IMHO there are some spare bytes at end of block
and that is whole file (except of that data, but that is explained by phaeron)
-----------
example, file JCDA:
06 00 00 00 ; records count
record #1 goes now, adress 0004:
02 00 00 00, 0D 00 00 00, 40 00 00 00 ; rec_a, rec_b, block_length
data header #1 now, length with header = 40h :
0F 00, 3A 00 ; block_a, real_data_len
and data ( 40h - header length(4) = 3Ch ):
00 00 00 FF FE 00 BE 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
record #2 goes now, adress 0050:
02 00 00 00, 13 00 00 00, 54 00 00 00 ; rec_a, rec_b, block_length
data header #2 now, length with header = 54h :
15 00, 4D 00 ; block_a, real_data_len
and data ( 54h - header length(4) = 50h ):
04 00 00 FF FE 00 BE 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
record #3 now, adress 00B0 ..... and so on, 6 records
Hope it helps.
Bye bye and good night to you all

As for the third value for each bone; either 1 or 0. Well, looking at Aeris' model, she has 31 bones, of which 23 are marked "1". Now, looking at the polygon files, there's 23 of them...

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Reading Floats from file Streams (C++)
« on: 2002-04-15 11:37:00 »
Should work. But i never used that 'ifstream' thingy. This is the way how i use it, and it works in both dos and win.
FILE *fin;
float f;
fin = fopen( "this.one", "rb" ); //rb means read-binary
if ( fin != NULL ) {
fread( &f, 1, 4, fin ); //size of float = 4 bytes
fclose( fin );
}
FILE *fin;
float f;
fin = fopen( "this.one", "rb" ); //rb means read-binary
if ( fin != NULL ) {
fread( &f, 1, 4, fin ); //size of float = 4 bytes
fclose( fin );

Long shot, and probably something already looked into, but I didn't find any posts along those lines, so I figured I'd say something on the thousandth of a percent it's usefull.
I dont think so... imho ??da files are animations for battle models ... and i dont think that there is much to animate on the world map. I mean not much skelets to animate.

Does anybody knows where is some info about field skeleton movement ?

3. I dont see any usage for HTML in discusion board. 
Probably there is nothing interesting to discuss. And IMHO i think that it is better when there are posts in spam & general, as if there would be no posts at all. Dead board is not a good thing.

Seph: server aint anything scary, it is just a little program. Download apache, modify config file (downloading some help text for that is a good idea, i needed it too) and run apache.exe. Then your machine will act as server. Run Netscape or whatever (on the same machine !) and type http://localhost, and you'll see your page with active php script.
