First CVR mod!

[Buster's Uncle]

Actually, it would be more like spray painting the desired image onto the model using the palette colors.  Not sure what a different color palette would do to the object models in the game.  They both use a 256 color palette.  If you change the games color palette, does it change the colors of the units as well or does the game just crash?

I believe you get an LSD trip, but no crash.

I'd love to see Dio kibbitz with you - he's and excellent art modder who is also the haxxor.

Kilkakon is also a fantastic artist who actually altered the pallet for his mod.  I do the art, but the tech stuff with the pallet is outside my interests.

@#**($ Normals. 

I just spent 3 hours trying to pin down the normals and how they are stored.  No success.

aa cv pp   
pp = pallate code
aa => 5 bits on the left are the direction code, with 3 bits left over on the right.

Ok.  Remember those 3 leftover bits from before.
They definitly deal with normals.
Also, be messing around with c.  I have made the normals change as well, but I haven't been able to pin down which bits of c deal with the normals. 

The problem is that since I'm looking at the models, it appears shiny in two different directions.  If there is only 4 bits controlling the normals, then I will have some issues, but theoretically I could export stuff if I use enough formulas and charts  .  If there are 5 bits then I'm good to go (Other than figuring out which direction the beams are pointing.  Which is hard since it looks the same visually in the cvr viewer from opposite directions).  I haven't been able to figure out how many bits are used to store the freaking normals.  To say progress has been infuriating, would be an understatement.

It also makes me very curious as to what v is used for.  (maybe it also controls the normals.  Shinyness?  Magical Unicorns?  I really have no idea.)

I think I'll switch work over to getting the voxels loading properly into the viewer again.  Worst comes to worse, I could write a program to try to calculate the normals on the fly.  Which will result in some weirdness, but not nearly as bad as having no normals.

If someone else wants to figure out normals, I would appreciate it.  I'm not sure if I want to waste my time trying to figure them out when I could probably whip up a formula that does a ok job 80% of the time.

Short Version:
I would really like it if someone else figured out the normals in the CVR file format as they are driving me nuts.
If no one does, I'll still be able to export the models to other programs, it just won't have the correct reflections on it.  (I'll whip up a formula to get it somewhat correct normals). 
If you do decide to take a shot at figuring it out, please tell me!

When you say shininess, do you mean how the light looks after striking the caviar parts? As far as I know, the game grabs the vector value that determines how the vehicles are lit and thus shininess from the #VEH_LIGHT_DIR_MAP in the system.txt file. I imagine the first number controls what value goes into x, the second y and the third z. You can find the coding for said feature starting at address 00451953. I hope this helps somewhat. I am unfamiliar with the exact mathematical formulas you might use (in particular, the trigonmetric formulas). However, I am willing to help you in any that I can within my present time constraints.

I meant the normals.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_%28geometry%29.  Normals tell the 3d renderer how light reflects off of an object.   So as the object is rotated, the correct parts reflect the light.  I should of used better terminology in my previous post.  If I don't have normals, the object will appear flat if it uses only one color.  You can't tell where corners are at, see overlapping parts, etc.

I wish I had paid attention back when I was a CS major (I switched) when we did reverse engineering.... I don't remember anything.   :-P  I would have to start from scratch.

Ok.  Here are my current notes on the CVR file format.  Not complete and probably wrong in several places. :-D  I'll post my code and an updated specification when I get all the models loading their geometry correctly.

    The distance in bytes to the 3d description section. Relative to this point!  Points a ways before the name of body part.  Need to find out what the data it points at is actually means.
    What's interesting this distance seems to be exactly the same for the different palates for non-animated files.
    Need to check to see if number changes for animated files or not.

ok..... that didn't do anything for me....
next, I should probably compare this section inbetween different files.  See when/if it changes.
..............
-------------------------------Ok, lets skip to the part that I do know what's going on.

I'm gonna need a point field visualizer. of my own and try out a few ideas and see how parts of it render....
--------
Will the normals be a standard vertex coordinate?  Nope.  They used a reference number.

    most of this has to deal with the number of units per 3d pixel

    ZZ sz xx sx yy sy   zz,xx,yy didn't change object position.
    sz, sx, sy when i changed them reduced the size and offset the item in the view
    zz, xx, yy I think this tells the viewer the dimensions of the item on screen so that it knows when to render

ok.  Details on the 3d data.

gg ff pp
    pp is the palate code.  See start of file for the actual colors.
    gg lets represent gg with dddd d nnn
        ddddd <- see lookup chart below for voxel placement.
        nnn <- is used for a normal lookup chart. 
    ff lets represent ff with   eeee ????
        Some of these are used for knowing which normal to use
        eeee is where I suspect the normal information is also stored.  Not sure which bits or how many.
        ???? I have no clue what it does.


## Below is the lookup chart for knowing what value means which directions.

## Other files don't have it.    I think it is a marker that they used for certain versions of the CVR file.



On the request for assistance,  helping me pinpoint which bits are used for the normal lookup would be very helpful.  The normals are stored with the voxel points.  In the notes I've identified the voxel lookup bits, and 3 of the bits used to identify the normals.  If someone could even find out which other specific bits are also part of the normal reference number, it would help me significantly.

Made some more progress today!

All (I think) single part non-animated files I can now load their geometry and their colors.
Also, I reworked the code to make it much more reliable and readable. 

Todo:

• Read in non-animated multi-part objects (aka, the terraformer)
• Read in animated single part objects
• Read in animated multi-part objects
• Figure out what to do about normals

This image below shows why normals are important. :-D   Allot of the units are only 1 or 2 colors.  (As usual, the smaller bottom right image is what it's supposed to look like)

EDIT:
Ick.  Just found a file that the colors are wrong on.... sigh.  Need to figure out what I assumed wrong this time.

Which file? Perhaps its a non-used one?

[Ford_Prefect]

Bad news:  I decided to take a gander at normals.

Unless I'm mistaken, all 11 bits are being used for the normal data.  11 bits means 2048 possibilities.   

Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to figure them out by brute forcing it.  I've looked at a good number of points and no useful patterns are appearing.

Any ideas?

[Ford_Prefect]

Oh.  Just found out some good news.    I just tried my code on select.cvr which is a single part animated file... and it worked (except for the colors were slightly off).    

I did some more looking at normals... and I'm not seeing any patterns that I could use to solve it.   

Help.  I can't solve normals by slowly modifying values and seeing what changes.... not when there are up to 2048 possible values and in 8-10 degree increments.    (especially not at the resolutions I'm having to deal with)



Other news....
I'm gonna examine multipart files next and try to figure out how they are put together.
Then all I have left is getting the colors correct and
normals.   

[Ford_Prefect]

Ok.  This is just weird.  I figured out where the color is going wrong.
Palette code 236.  All the other colors are correct, but sometimes the file will call on color 236, which I thought should be 0,0,0 (black).  But!  On some files, it isn't supposed to be black, but a light gray color... while on others, it is black!  The real fun bit is that the front section of the file where the palette codes are stored are identical.... So I have no clue as to why it is choosing one color over another.

So yeah.  Updated list of things I would like help on figuring out:
* Normals
* What determines the color of 236 or 246? (236 for A, Select, VWNAA.  245+ for Vwntu)

[Buster's Uncle]

True black (and a peach shade fdbd76) is semi-transparent in the game - they make the base shadows you don't notice in-game because the flag is in the way.  Those particular shades are unfortunate for custom faction art, because it's all too easy to end up with all the lines on a base see-through, and black bits on the leaderheads.

[Ford_Prefect]

Yeah.  I'm stuck.  Without someone who can figure out the proper values for the color issue and more importantly the normals, I won't be able to make any further progress on CVR files.

I'm going to work on tidying up my code and notes and release them here for anyone who is curious or wants to try to help fill in the blanks.

I'll see if with what I do know, if I can do some limited modding of the CVR files... but without all the color and normal data.... it will be really limited. 

I'm sorry I wasn't able to do more.

You already did more regarding caviar files then anyone else I remember on figuring out them. And for that I thank you,

I'll be working on making the color mod tool more user friendly and powerful before releasing it.  Right now I can tell it "replace all of color x with color y".  Without any hints as to what x or y will be. :-D   I'm working on fixing that as well as adding a few features.

[Geo]

Heh, color-changed faction-unique units?
