Re: 💡 OPEN FEATURE: EF2000 Moving Map
Yes, the TFX1 .3 files don't specify the colour of flat terrain, so you added something in 2017 to fill in a background colour. I can't remember if I'd converted the TFX files to a newer format so TFXplorer could load them. The last time I looked at the larger did.dat from SuperEF2000 was from befor...

Re: 💡 OPEN FEATURE: EF2000 Moving Map
That's because I displayed the contents of TFX's did.dat. 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. Some months ago, I identified enough TFX files so that the game starts with an extracted set, but I can probably identify ...

Re: 💡 OPEN FEATURE: EF2000 Moving Map
Not more than what you're already doing. TFX has a separate set of map files for each weather/TOD in the 'lev' folder, and the one you show seems to be libya_dc.txt. 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 ...

Re: ✔️ FIXED BUG: Wrong Default Data Path for Extensions
Normally, you should be able to assign dataDirPath__LEGACY_REMOVE to your global dataPath in UAW_EXTENSION_CREATE() and it should take on the value from the registry. How would I do that?...or is this the default behaviour if I don't do anything specific? If so, it's not working for me. It doesn't ...

Re: ✔️ FIXED BUG: Wrong Default Data Path for Extensions
It would be good if dataDirPath__LEGACY_REMOVE could be set as the 'DataPath' registry entry for the extension.
...but failing that, how do I set it so D:\WHATEVER is treated as the path for data?

It's as if having a means to instantly communicate globally has some drawbacks.

Re: 🔴 OPEN BUG: Wrong Default Data Path for Extensions
Yeah, while this is the least of my worries right now, it seems that if I try to use a filename without any path, my file need to be where the TFXplorer exe is. The DataPath registry entry is ignored.

Re: API Documentation
This really has made me look at the way I've approached programming over the years. The car analogy is that by knowing the key 'activates' the machine, and putting a lever to the 'R' position and using the right pedal to speed up and slow down allows me to go anywhere...as long as I have plenty of t...

✔️ FIXED BUG: TFXplorer crashes if no audio devices are available.
Maybe not the most common scenario on PCs these days, but I ran into it while RDPing a Windows PC without setting up the audio. The symptoms were that I got the 'DirectX SDK June 2010 not installed, so there'll be no sound' message in the first screen. I ignored that as I wasn't interested in sound ...

Re: API Documentation
Thanks to chatGPT, I was (after a couple of hours tracking down some trivial syntax errors) able to replace the generated texture with something loaded in from disk, Next I need to try to make different tiles, so it's not the same tile repeated. That requires a struct of structs I suppose. gonewrong...

Re: Ace Combat levels
I don't have a clue, but if I open that file and display it graphically, there appears to be blocks of regularity. This is at 396 bytes per row:

Re: Ace Combat levels
I'd suggest that the first 2 bytes are combined into a little-endian 16 bit number, since the 2nd byte increments when the 1st byte reaches 0xff.

Re: API Documentation
Thanks!
It's how individual tiles are defined/handled I'm having trouble understanding. The example with the 256x256 pixel repeated texture seems to allow an infinite map...or at least I can scroll to thousands of tiles in North and east directions in Explorer mode.

Re: API Documentation
Sorry, I need to ask something trivial... I'd like to expand your example with the orange 1-pixel texture in the 'Rendering Terrain' section by having the colour of a particular tile based on information loaded from disk. So, say we have this 200x200 bitmap from TFX, which is in .bmp format right no...
