So I discovered it's possible to get TPP to load new .dat files.
...
If we could gain priority over 0/00.dat and 0/01.dat, it would allow us to easily add dedicated modding .dat files.

That would be great, but I likewise suspect it's defined in the exe. I recall they flipped priority of 00.dat vs 01.dat during one patch.

Any chance anyone has chunk0.dat\foxfs.dat from past versions of the game?

Sometime ago I saw an image file detailing how the inputs to Player.SetAroundCameraManualModeParams work. It showed how the camera position offsets resulted in actual in-game camera position. Can't seem to find this image again.

Inspired by CantStoptheBipBop I extended my debug output of messages, I've have had the debugMessages option for a few versions, but I was just throwing a bunch of different lookup tables at the args.
I now can define what the message parameters are for the function to give the args their names and define their type for the lookup functions which makes output a bit clearer, and doubles as documentation of the messages I guess. All that is in mod\modules\InfLookup.lua

If you want to run IH with debugMessages grab the 'InfStrcode lookup (IH debugging)' file from the files on IH nexus page (just a string scrape for runtime str32 comparison).

Otherwise here's an ih_log with all of IH debug logging on, just pretty much loading map and quitting, messages start on line 113.
http://pastebin.com/Zd62Lk1k


I fixed some stuff so simple modules using Update should with IH just by throwing them in \mod\modules, without needing to edit Tpp,TppMain.
So in theory your show camo value mod should work CantStoptheBipBop, but I haven't actually tested it because I'm terribad.
Not sure how your script loader would fare either unknown123, since it attempts to load all lua files in \modules it might trip over the extra luas you require(), if so it would likely just need a sub folder and changing to require"somesubfolder.somemodulename"

I don't update it since no one uses it aside from me, so it's fine.
Btw, logs should be formatted using the same format, see line 298 and 302. Dumping arrays like this breaks the log and makes it unparseable, they should be printed in one line. Same with

Some log strings doesn't even have function names, just array values.
I don't have a lot of time to actually review your code (it's not on github, so I can't see what you've changed), but it seems that you don't have a template for log strings. One day someone (maybe even you) will try to write a parser for your logs and it will fail, so please, follow one template.

@Tex
Thanks for the notice. I forgot to mention but the previous method didn't work for me. After adding it to the inf table the game just acted like the file didn't exist by not printing out anything to the announce log.

edit: just tested it out on r199, works great. I noticed some things with inf itself though. In the debug menu the print buttons option appears twice (9 & 16). When one module has trouble loading (like calling a nonexistent function) it prevents the entire mod from working properly

Thanks Tex! Exactly what I was looking for. I did however do a complete testing of the camera funcs anyways:

	distance=4, --Camera distance from Snake
	focalLength=21, --Should not be zero! How much to focus in on the target point
	focusDistance=8.75, --If 0, blur is removed. Higher values set blur distance farther from the screen

},
Player.RequestToSetCameraRotation{
	rotX = 10, --Camera should rotate to this X pos(vertical). Can be set to vars.playerCameraRotation[0]. Range seems to be -90 to +90
	rotY = vars.playerCameraRotation[1], --Camera should rotate to this Y pos(horizontal). Can be set to vars.playerCameraRotation[1]. Range seems to be -90 to +90
	interpTime = 0.3 --Time taken for camera to rotate around to new pos. When set to 10, you will see a cinematic pan
},

With these exact settings, am able to do this:
https://youtu.be/pTsqkrTyk9s

It's an MGS style fixed camera with the vertical rotation removed. Horizontal can't be removed(and shouldn't be anyways). While the video isn't the best example due to the vertical terrain, the game is surprisingly playable.

The only issue being that the camera rot forces the binocs/weapon aim vertical rotation as well. Does anybody know how to influence the aiming/binocs rotation?

This failed:

Code: Select all

function this.FixCameraRot(sender, msg)
	--Nope only for TPS camera
	TUPPMLog.Log("Resetting camera rots for "..tostring(msg),3,true)
	vars.playerCameraRotation[0]=0
	vars.playerCameraRotation[1]=0
end

EDIT:
Here's a better look with M3: https://youtu.be/VX7u2_Hl0dk

[youarebritish]

I finally managed to find the htre files which I believe contain the terrain tile data. Afghanistan's is in Assets/tpp/pack/environ/stagelow/afgh/small_lod0. I tried extracting the height data from one of them (afgh_144_145) and imported it into World Machine in raw32 format:



And it looks like I've hit the jackpot! I'm not sure why it came in chopped up and doubled. Is it maybe a 64-bit height format instead of 32? Hmmm. This is what the heightmap itself looks like:



It looks like each tile has a corresponding fox2 file in its matching fpkd. The most pertinent information I find in that is the position of that terrain tile (for instance, that tile is at x="1472" y="0" z="1600" w="0"). Each one also has a terrain decal pack file (ftdp).

EDIT: I found that some of the tiles also have a corresponding fmdl, which appears to be the foliage and rocks on that part of the terrain:



I noticed that the origin of the fmdl was way off in the middle of nowhere, so on a hunch, I imported another one into the same scene:

MGS1 camera style, somewhat working but playable. TPS camera can't be influenced.

Also, vars.playerCameraRotation[0] and vars.playerCameraRotation[1] hold the final values of the cam(for save file purposes I guess) and are not the actual camera rotation values. Am guessing this is true for most other 'vars' as well judging from my previous attempts at changing weapons.


EDIT:
On a different note, somebody had mentioned loading DLL files sometime back I think. Here is the error message when a Lua file fails to load via pcall(require,moduleName):

Does this mean it could be possible to load C/C++ code via DLL files via lua require function??

Theoretically, you can do it. http://lua-users.org/wiki/BindingCodeToLua
I was thinking about it, but honestly this is pointless. What will that module do?
We already have access to almost everything in Lua, why manipulate it with C?
The only thing I have in mind is advanced logging, but it still will be limited to Lua memory space (or whatever it called).

Advanced logging is exactly what I had in mind. Logging unknown Lua/C functions params and function calls using hooks. I think all of these are possible but require some coding effort. Granted the reward at this point would not be great but it may allow modders to manipulate functions that have so far been beyond our reach.

Here's a vid for the camera options I used, including the MGS1 style cam with somewhat fixed FPS camera at least:

MGS1 camera style, somewhat working but playable. TPS camera can't be influenced.

I haven't played with the camera settings so I wouldn't know anything about it. But I was pulling strings for vars tables and misc function names from the exe a few days ago and there are a ton of what look like camera variables under Player. I guess you could give those a try if you haven't done something similar already. The second group is the one I'm referring to. link

I know this thread is more for research than modding, however I just want to drop this where it can be seen, so that somebody may possibly pick it up:

I started a Sword/Eli/Skulls mod with a bit of animation swaps and such, and I think it's a nice concept for a mod to be taken on, however I don't have the time/interest to see it completed, so to whoever may be interested in that, you can download the files of my draft here if you wish-

I am proud to announce that I've been able to make a client emulator which is capable of communicating with konami servers.
That includes decoding and encoding messages sent from and to servers (only for COMPOUND and COMMON encryption types, haven't seen others in use yet).

http://pastebin.com/raw/PaDVkh20 - decoded steam session, removed a lot of unneeded stuff (like list of my 3500 soldiers) and censored account-related info.

Right now I am busy with making a [url - request] list to make proper requests.
Please note that I work on that only during weekends (and sometimes my weekends are really busy), so don't expect frequent updates and (especially) releases.

I am also looking for people with any console (ps3/4, xbox360/xbone) capable of setting up a proxy server with ssl decryption to capture packets between your console and konami server. Steam version has it's own auth protocol based on steam tickets; urls are also version-specific (tppstm), so I can't make requests for other platforms. This is the only reason I posted the announcement without releasing code.

My goals are:

• Getting current nuke amount from all platforms at once (captures from other platforms are required)
• Developing a konami server emulator so people can set up custom fob games

Could anyone tell me how I can extract sounds from the game? Is there a special tool I need?
I tried looking through this thread, but with over 100 pages it would take me forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See https://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?p=120135#p120135 and some posts onwards.
I also believe that gzstool works with .sbp files as well, although I haven't tried it myself (in terms of sound extraction).
