I meant swap the US and UK symbols on that texture. As they are different sizes, the way to do it would be to swap the semaphore values in the .3 file instead....but this isn't the way to do it. I've already had a quick look at finding where NATO is defined in the exe using IDA and Ghidra, but it's ...

They are all on this texture: We could just swap them about, but then if you specifically want UK or USA markings, they'd come out wrong.

If.

Maybe, but TAW doesn't have rotations, and the only tiles that randomized are flat terrain for the most part. Certainly, no tiles with buildings on them are randomized.
The general idea was probably to give a bit more variation when flying over the desert, but not enough variation to affect the map.

som747.3 is different. Smaller I think.
The first parts of the file of all the others are identical. Maybe the SP version of the 747.

Well, you ve done it properly.

At least for TAW, we could have just used any psuedo-random algorithm.

Could be the ssd file? or maybe you don't use them for aircraft..

Yes, the roundals (or lack of them) is annoying. I suspect that aircraft desiganted as 'NATO' are using the US markings.

SEF2000 has the French and German files as well. There does seem to be more detritus even than EF2000 V2.0 though.
I use various Python scripts, continuously edited as I learn more.

The did.dat files for the various versions of EF2000 contain many more files than are used by the game. The European version of SuperEF2000 seems to have more than most, so that is what I've been looking at recently. This did.dat contains 8586 files, and here are the names of those filenames already...

Thread title edited to give me a bit more time.
...but Scorpion82 is right. I'm not sure what can be improved...or at least improved substantially.

Great work! So, the chances are that TAW's terrain randomization, such as it is, uses the same algorithm. From what I remember, TAW has 4 or 5 tiles with extra textures for randomization, but those textures are all the same, resulting in a net zero effect. TAW2.30 has 5 sea tiles, so that would be b...

Yes, I should!
I'll do that when I something to show. There's still >1200 files that I don't know the names of.
It's been only a half hearted effort over the last week or so, but it's strangely compulsive.

Thanks! There were 17 files that I didn't have in my list.

...and slightly related:
lev\world.4ev
lev\world.4e2
lev\clouds.4e2
lev\clouds.4ev

I don't think there's much in them, but an experiment with the 400x400 tile system maybe.

Ha, I was already copying and pasting from that thread, so tried this in my matching script
colours/pt_rn.pal
..but I'm on a Windows PC right now, so it needed to be
colours\pt_rn.pal

Took a while to notice that...

There are 2 large (569kB) files which on first glance in a hex editor look like ordinary level files 'gone wrong' newworld_map.PNG ..but if the bytes per row is adjusted to 256, the second part of the file looks like this: newworld_map2.PNG So, this may be a moving map system with the first part of ...

I'm not seeing any 'colours\xxx.pal files at all. Do you have an example of one that definitely exists?

Sure, when I get time. tim.lbm is there at least. Here's a list of cols and lbms, I've identified over the last day or so: colours\day.col colours\mix.col colours\fws.col colours\pcn.col colours\tmp.col colours\ian.col colours\pit.col colours\pcd.col colours\pct.col colours\mix1.col colours\2000.col...

Cool!
I can add kore_dc,kore_nc, ango_dc & ango_nc

there are only 8 more files of exactly 40000 bytes, so only 4 worlds left.
The other suffixes, _st etc don't seem to work.
