💡 OPEN FEATURE: Altitude Palettes
The palette interpolation suggested for dynamic day-night-cycles can also be used to apply altitude palettes. All current games – f22, EF2000, AC3 – would profit via a sky that looks more “stratospheric” at high altitudes. It could almost work as primitive cloud cover in EF2000. The only problem is,...

Re: EF2000 Mystery File
The file has some wave-like structure. It could be a lookup table for sin/cos/log/exp or some other hard-to-compute function.

EF2000 Mystery File
We have another source code candidate. The file with hash 6955A212 in Super EF2000’s did.dat has a size of 2,079,371 bytes. There seems to be some kind of header but no obvious file structure. Then follows almost 2,000,000 bytes which are extremely high-entropy, i.e. either compressed or encrypted. ...

Re: ✔️ FIXED BUG: Canopy Opens Automatically
Fix has landed. The canopy still opens automatically if the user has the canopy lever in “up” position, which can be unexpected, but the game doesn’t touch the lever without user input any longer.

✔️ FIXED BUG: Crashes in Some EF2000 Levels
Some of the hidden EF2000 levels crash in certain places. E.g. Libya or Angola if you go far into the land.
I think some code doesn’t check properly for missing tile supershapes, and then it crashes when you get close to them.

✔️ NEW FEATURE: EF2000 Day-Night Cycle
We now know how EF2000 handles time of day in color palettes. This knowledge should be used to implement a Day-Night cycle for Norway. Not because it would be cool, but because it would save us some work and simplify usage: Currently, TFXplorer lists nine separate Norway scenarios. image.png Each of...

Re: EF2000 Hidden Music Files
Damson posted on Discord a way to play the .xmi files: Cool find, that's pretty much ef2000 soundtrack - .xmi are used for fm synth and .mid for wavetable cards (MIDI). You can actually play the .xmi files in DOSBox with something like PX Player. ef2.mp4 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=37630 ...

Re: 💡 OPEN FEATURE: EF2000 Moving Map
Seeing executables in did.dat is tempting. So much to unpack there, literally! I see seaworld in the right executable … Okay, all I wanted was improve EF2000 compatibility by assigning the hidden levels their correct palettes and moving maps. We don’t know how to find the palette files, so I’ll paus...

EF2000 Hidden Music Files
I don’t have all EF2000 versions installed, so I don’t know if any of the files here are actually unknown or not. While spelunking through EF2000’s files, I noticed .zip in the list of supported extensions of did.dat . I searched did.dat for files starting with the ZIP signature PK and alas, the fil...

Re: 💡 OPEN FEATURE: EF2000 Moving Map
That's because I displayed the contents of TFX's did.dat. Ooooooh yes makes sense! While they put a fair amount of TFX's files (seemingly as filler) into TFX2's did.dat, it's not enough to recreate TFX. 1. I feared that, but what’s the 140 palette files then? We have only identified 30 or 40 of the...

Re: 💡 OPEN FEATURE: EF2000 Moving Map
Then you can take those palette names and look for them in the 'colours' folder. Korea, Iceland etc came later of course, but seem to be along the same lines as TFX. 2024-02-16_23-38.png Wait, something is wrong here. How come you have colours/libya.col but I don’t?!
