Zoinkity no doubt has the list somewhere.
Doors include the main beef as the other types, but go deeper into detail. Sound made, single or double, motion speed, amount of time until they close automatically, how they operate (slide, swing, raise), locked or unlocked, etc. They're twice the length of a standard object, allowing you to convert them into two objects, or vice versa. Doors must also be assigned to Advanced presets in order to load into the map. But you can't put them at the regular value. Instead, take a hex calculator and subtract "2710" from the preset ID. It may appear to be a Basic Preset, but doors read it as Advanced. Don't know why they do this, just know that they do.

By the way, I love to take really big hex dumps!

[PaD]

I noticed doors had a lot of data (0x100 bytes)... hope zoinkity comes back here some time to provide it

oh I got new questions:

type 0023 = unknown or forgot to list?
example is in Control singleplayer, at 1D38D0 (beginning of the object data btw):
00000023 000000## 0000XXXX PPPPPPPP
## = seems to be counted... first 23 type has 00, second has 01, and so on

XXXX = preset? first has 2024, second 2025, and so on

PPPPPPPP pointer to previous 23 type, first one has just 00000000, second has a pointer to the first, third has a pointer to the second

In Facility singleplayer, they also appear at the beginning of the object data.
in both levels, there are 5 of them.
any idea what they could be?

---------

how do objectives work?
as far as I believe

1. BEGIN objective - object type 0017
2. events to make objective completed?
like in facility, objective #4 (destroy the tanks I believe), there's 10 times a "destory object" object (0019)
3. END objective - object type 0018

oh, and what about 001A and 001B:
what the heck is block data type 9A?

Object type "23" sets up the briefing data in your watch menu. It determines their order and links to the corresponding briefing file. You'll be used to those, since they work like the text strings you've been modifying lately. They're the first item in any mission setup, followed by the objectives.

Return data confuses the hell out of me. It's located in the setup file for any mission, controlling spawning guards and other objective based data. That's what tells the game whether certain objectives, like killing an enemy or protecting a friend, are achieved. Simple changes can reverse the effects. An example would be failing in the Archives when you find Natalya. I've used this data to stop guards from respawing on the Cradle for Valentin's movie project. It's very cool, but very strange. I'd love a better breakdown of it some day. The pointer to it is stored at 80075D14, which will direct you to other pointers in the setup file. Each one links to a different block of information.

hm... I can't find any system.
just for the strings, like "If only I had a gun!!!" in Facility.
it's always AD [text string, zero-ended]

I tried to split it up into formats, like object type data.
20XX, 02XX, 90XX, etc..
though sometimes 20XX are 0xBC long, next time differently.
so that can't be it.

the only thing that really makes sense is that this is some sort of assembly code.
every "spawn information" ends with 04 00, which could be a return command (end of subroutine).
AD [text] would then probably mean something like "print this text to [somewhere]", have you ever seen the text "If only I had a gun" in the game?

if that's true, the question is, what type of assembly is it?
I'll try to find out more.

EDIT:
OK, I just remembered that zoinkity posted something like "assembly" codes in one of his posts here, and yes, that's it!
04 is the end of the routine.
AD is debug text.
makes sense.
Assuming you knew that, what better breakdown would you need?

there's lots of other code in there instead of just objective handling and respawning. for instance in archives, the dialogues are handled by this.
So this is all specific level code.
question is still, how to find out when is what called?

[zoinkity]

The actions themselves are called by their numerical value, attached either to an object (ie path values, always 04xx) or in the guard action set (usually either 10xx or 00xx, 00xx being the default guard controls stored at some low address I can't remember but probably listed on one of these pages)
I think actual group execution starts with 1000. Can't remember. If you rumage through the old gscentral.com archive and find the bit on "guard spawned in temple" that was an actual example of adding a code loop to multi.

anyway, the one type that are just strings are notes. Nothing else. Still, awfully helpful if you can't figure out what the control is supposed to do.

There are two types of return types. One sets the objective state flags (really just a long value that is dedicated to just the stuff going on in-game) and the other (03xx, was it?) is used for execution loops. Just like in traditional C-programming.

Here's an example (well, should be at least) of a parsed group.

zoinkity : "ie: 0588 07 corresponds to: p1416a7 These values should match the values in setup. If not, the object may not load in the correct room or at all."

so, for the life of me, i can't figure out how 0588 07 corresponds to p1416a7. i see that from your table, 07 corresponds to the a7 at the end, but how does 0588 correspond to 1416?

also, i can't find the tile and point data in my dumped file. i have everything from 8000 0000 to 801E FFFF. is it in there somewhere, and is it separated by any headers that denote what level it's for, or does each level load just have a pointer to the appropriate tiles?

You don't need to know, just use the setup editor. I think Zoinkity detailed how it actually was converted somewhere here.

[00zero]

i know i don't need to know, but i really really want to know.

if i had that info, i could plot out the actual level, tiles, presets, etc... and have actual scale maps of the levels. the setup editor gives us the presets and locations, but doesn't show them on a map in relation to one another all at one time. Wreck had to do that separately, and it looks like he did it by hand, very tediously. i want to automate it... not because i need it, but because it's fun, i like maps. and who knows, maybe someday, i'll have somthing worthy to contribute to this forum.

Here are two tutorials I wrote up to better help explain how certain conversions work in GoldenEye. The latter one should take care of the problem you're currently having with the room pointers.

ah yes, that clears up the first question... a little embarrassing to find out i was converting 0588 in the wrong direction, and that's why i couldn't figure out how to get 1416. i really am good at hex, really (ha ha)...

so, my second question is, where is the x, y & z coordinate data for each tile or plink? it's gotta be somewhere if it can tell which tile bond is on at any given position...

[Wreck]

Again, here's a link to a thread that should contain the information you require...

Wreck, thanks for the tutorials... they're all great, but i've already used them and pretty much have the hang of finding position and room data from bond's position. lots of good info, just not exactly what i was looking for.

i probably wasn't being clear enough, seeing as i'm not that experienced yet, i have a hard time formulating the right questions. my apologies... but with everyone's help, and zoinkity's topic, i've finally found what i was looking for.
i'm not sure that it's a sure thing in every instance, but it's worked every time that i've tested it so far (a couple solo missions and Facility MP 2, 3 & 4 player). here's what i found:

check location 8007B120, record the pointer (80xx xxxx). Add 0x04 to that pointer and go to that location (should only be a few lines later, if that). There you will find all the tile headers and tile point data for the level that is loaded, from the last room to the first in descending order.

i took this info from the Facility and manipulated it in excel to mark the rooms and exact preset locations. i have also created formulas for plotting three dimentional data onto a x-y scatter plot with perspective... hard to explain, so i'll attach a picture. i did find out that excel limits the number of data series to 255, which came about when i tried to load the 2599 tiles into the plot... not going to happen. and if i just add them in one long series, i get some random lines that shouldn't be there. i'll have to figure something out... i hear excel 2007 has a higher capacity for everything, maybe that will help.

anyway... so i randomly chose room 2F, which turns out to be a quarter of the Quad, a room you guys should be pretty familiar with. here's the 2-d and 3-d data plots:


thanks for the help!

[SubDrag]

Impressive! Matlab shouldn't limit you to 255. It looks like my old clipping viewer, except better heh.

[00zero]

tell me more about this clipping viewer... i'm interested!
is it available to anyone?
