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.

Yes, there's a kore_tw.lev and icebak.lev. ...to be continued.
EDIT: and ango_tw.lev

Heh, very motivational!

I found another world called 'tim' (lev\tim.lev .le2 .asc .dat)
Worlds with longer filenames will take longer...
EDIT: found 'lev\ango_d.lev' etc
lev\world1.lev etc
lev\world2.lev
lev\world3.lev
lev\world4.lev
lev\kore_d.lev
lev\kore_n.lev
lev\ango_n.lev

There's at least one .wav file in there as well, although .wav is not in the extension list. If I play it, I get a voice saying 'contact' One interesting file is 'iff\256\main.pmm' which is best opened in Wordpad. It comes from the Pegasus Mail sytem. I don't want to post the contents here as I'm in...

In the SEF2000 did.dat I'm looking at, that zip file has hash 64b4ab13 which corresponds to 'music\midi.zip'

If this was Discord, I might consider posting that 'hugging' emoji, but it's a proper forum, so none of that nonsense.

Not much I can say, except maybe TFXplorer is trying to to do too much as one program.
