The normal graphics of a tile are horizontal. The (optional) extra graphics of a tile are vertical. If cx_extra is between 0 and 256, the extra graphics are present.
The normal graphics can be found directly after the TMP TS image header. It's a 576 byte block. Because TS uses an isometric grid, the tile is not rectangular. The first line has 4 pixels, the second line has eight pixels. Line 12 has 48 pixels, line 13 has 44 pixels and line 22 has 4 pixels.
After the normal graphics, there's another 576 byte block. This block probably contains height data.
Then you have the extra graphics (if present). They're rectangular, so it's a block of cx_extra * cy_extra bytes. They should be drawn at x_extra,y_extra.

Banshee here are some file to get you started.
It has a blank.tem file from TS. An image showing the two sets of the primary image (the image and z-data or shadow info). Also has a txt file laying out the hex code in a more understandable format.

Thanks, I've downloaded the file and a lot of thing really clarified here. But... there are still a lot of thing to understand, but it's a good start. I'll need to take a look at the XCC code. But first I need to finish some personal stuff. I'll reply soon with more stuff. Thanks a lot.

No problem. I will try to put together some more info tomorrow.
It help a lot when you see it in a visual way. Smile

Yea, of course. I'm still wondering that 5th value. And it would also be interesting to make a table of values of the type of tmp files. XCC Tmp Editor doesnt make it very clear...

Directly after that, there is an index of the tiles. This index consists of c_files __int32 entries. When such an entry is zero, there is no tile. Otherwise, it's an offset from the start of the file and points to a TMP TS image header.

That one and the others that follow look like off set to the start of each (primary and extra image) sections.

weird, if that's the objective of that value, then the value is set wrongly in the sample you sent me. It's set to 20, however, the picture starts in the byte 73.

Not the image the begining of that section or the header of the section.

01000000 01000000 30000000 18000000 14000000
00000000 00000000

Oh... I've confused that a bit... I thought there was a value between the header and the image header.... my bad. But I still dont understand what is this 14 00 00 00.

Yes there are a group of code.

14 is in hex. If you change it to decimal it will = 20, this give you the location of where each data location starts. In this case it is at decimal 20 or hex 14.

Now find dec. 20 or hex 14 in the blank01.tem. It will be four bytes down the code.

It may be easer to make the hex editor read 00000000 (4bytes) instead of 00 00 00 00 one byte each.
Note this file uses one byte to four byte depending on the info.
like
All image color/ z-data = 2 bytes 0000
Most of the header info = 4 bytes 00000000
The property part = 1 byte each 00

DJB, you it's spelled byte, not bite.

8 binary bits make one byte.

4 binary bits make one hex character, so two hex characters are one byte.

XCC Code:

Code:

struct t_tmp_ts_header

__int32 cblocks_x;
__int32 cblocks_y;
__int32 cx;
__int32 cy;
};

struct t_tmp_image_header
{
__int32 x;
__int32 y;
__int32 extra_ofs;
__int32 z_ofs;
__int32 extra_z_ofs;
__int32 x_extra;
__int32 y_extra;
__int32 cx_extra;
__int32 cy_extra;
unsigned int has_extra_data: 1;
unsigned int has_z_data: 1;
unsigned int has_damaged_data: 1;
__int8 height;
__int8 terrain_type;
__int8 ramp_type;
unsigned __int8 radar_red_left;
unsigned __int8 radar_green_left;
unsigned __int8 radar_blue_left;
unsigned __int8 radar_red_right;
unsigned __int8 radar_green_right;
unsigned __int8 radar_blue_right;

};

In Delphi:

Code:

t_tmp_ts_header = record
cblocks_x:integer;

t_tmp_image_header = record

x_extra:integer;
y_extra:integer;

has_extra_data: word; // default value = 1
has_z_data: word; // default value = 1
has_damaged_data: word; // default value = 1

terrain_type:smallint;
ramp_type:smallint;
radar_red_left:byte;
radar_green_left:byte;
radar_blue_left:byte;
radar_red_right:byte;

pad: array [0..2] of smallint;

Well, if there's anything i need, it's a working TMP editor..

Banshee · Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 8:58 pm Post subject:

And do you also need a working SHP editor that also edits TMP? O.o

Anyway, does anyone knows how does the data pointed by the z_offset works?

Sorry for the long wait. if you start up on the tmp editor again.

No a shp editor and a temp editor are different.

Yes you will need the z-data to work. When you get around to this again send me an e-mail at DJBREIT@ptd.net and I will dig up the info you need.

Banshee · Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 4:06 am Post subject:

I already know how this works... I just have other priorities before implement TMP editing in the SHP Builder or OS Modding Studio. The format is different, TMP has some settings that SHP doesn't have and also the graphical format is different as well, however, you can make everything in one program if you adapt it to edit different kinds of files.
