Garrulous Glaahk TheKian Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hello, all. In the course of working on my Geneforge 5 modding tool, I have discovered that there is a certain set of 24 bytes in the zone data that appears to control the environment of a zone - things like background noise, weather, tilesets, and so on. I have extracted the offsets for this data for every single zone, and hope that anyone with enough time could help to deduce what each one does. What I have discovered so far is that the third offset (third number on the first line) is likely tied to weather, since the weather in zone 0 and zone 1 is the same. I have confirmed that the seventh offset (second to last number on the first line) is the zone ID, corresponding so: 0: Broadleaf forest 1: Swamp 2: Cave 3: Desert 4: Coniferous forest 5: Snow Data: Spoiler Zone 0 - Pacification Fields: 0,0,9,0,4,0,5,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 Zone 1 - Minallah: 0,0,9,0,6,0,5,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 Zone 2 - Isenwood's Tower: 0,0,3,0,7,0,2,0 0,0,16,1,1,0,0,0 1,0,0,0,252,255,252,255 Zone 3 -

Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Well: "Zone 0 - Pacification Fields: 0,0,9,0,4,0,5,0" "Zone 61 - Inner Gazaki-Uss: 0,0,9,0,8,0,2,0" So I would say that the 3rd number is not the weather, since Inner G-U doesn't have the same weather (possible snow) as Pacification fields.

Garrulous Glaahk TheKian Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Actually, Inner Gazaki-Uss has glowing spheres floating down from the ceiling in a similar manner to snow. Most likely it means some kind of 'biome-specific' weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
