Need for Speed: Shift Track SGB Files

Simon · Post by **Simon** » Wed May 12, 2010 10:05 pm

Hello!

I really could need your help.

I want to create the possibility to create new Tracks for Need for Speed Shift and this is only possible with the SGB Files. The problem is they are only binary.

3D SimEd can Open and Read them to Display the whole Track. (you can try this with the Demo on http://www.sim-garage.co.uk)

So I would be really happy if you help me my to "write" new SGB Files. Or help to Research them.

I Upload one Track from Shift as Sample. Hopefully this helps.

Sorry if I stretch your nerves but can no one help there?

I got success converting Binary Material Files into Human Readable Code (XML) which can be used for modding because Shift reads them too. Almost all Shift Files are XML-Styled or Binary XML Files, expect Shaders, Textures, Models, Sounds, Motec/HUD-Files (if I have forgotten nothing):) I can convert the Material Files but only manually which is easy for relative little Material Files but the Track Files contains some thousands entries. (Depends on Track)

It would be really nice if someone could look into it.

Perhaps you could provide a new sample?
The file linked in the original post is no longer available.

The file contains six sections: SGB, OCCL, NODE, FLAT, SUMM and END.
Following after END is strings, or nothing if there are no strings.

Each section start with:
32bit int section name
32bit int section length
32bit int number of blocks in section

SGB
Just a section header + 1 all zero byte.

OCCL
Each block is a 56 byte structure.
The first 8 bytes of each block are two 32bit integers containing string positions (some name, and a file path e.g. "OCCLUDER02", "Tracks\Alpental\OCCLUDER02.meb").
The rest so far unknown.

In NODE and SUMM each block starts with a 32bit int containing the block size.
There are repeated references (integers containing position in file) to other places in the section, which in turn references the strings (integers containing position in file).
These are mostly (always?) referencing the start of a 40 byte block starting by three ints containing string positions (OBJECT, some name, some file path e.g. "OBJECT", "Tyres2_LODA", "Tracks\Alpental\Tyres2_LODA.imb") followed by some values repeated from the containing block

FLAT:
Always seems to consist of one block.

END: Just a section header

One funny thing, I've seen three files, one with big endian section names and two with little endian section names.
It seems the length of the SGB section is in the same endianness as the section names, all other lengths and data are in the opposite.

Thank you very much for looking into them.

Hope we are able to convert them into XML-Based Files soon.

I think the first name could be the Instance Name - OCCLUDER02
Then follows the MeshName (meb are 3D Files of Shift) - Tracks\Alpental\OCCLUDER02.meb

Other unknown things could be CollTarget and HATTarget, ShadowReceiver.

I attach some Track-Files from GTR 2 and rFactor - they are really similar to Shift ones for sure. Only thing which is different (99% sure) - Shift Ones are XML-Based. (When converted oc)

rFactor: http://pastebin.com/ekFHcW00
GTR 2: http://pastebin.com/P5k0q9Ax

And now one Material Sample how they look XML-Based. (From Shift)

For the NODE and SUMM parts I would guess it should be possible to map the values to a structure similar to the referenced .vhf file

One block from SUMM

The values seems to match to a large extent, but some seem different and some I'm missing, maybe they are implicit. We will see...

Thank you very much

I think you are very right !!!

I found a existing SGX File and yes it looks like the VHF Ones. (Menu Background - no Track but I am sure there are no big differences:))

Any idea about the Partitions??

Assuming the above format the block could look like

                </NODE>
        </NODE>
</OBJ_ID>

Assuming the first int is the object number, they seem to be unique (in the file, don't know between files).
I'm not really sure what to do with the vhf file reference, and I'm not sure about the orientation part of the matrix, there are two more values somehow belonging to the matrix.

The same block as before but with some comments on what the values are

As for CollTarget and HATTarget and ShadowReceiver, I have one unknown value on position 325732.
There is also userflags, assuming that is a bit field we have 8 bits used and some seems quite popular.

Looking at OCCL again, it's two string references, and four 3d points (4*3 floats) per block.

Code: Select all

OCCL Block 0 (28)
        String 1: 1703128 OccluderHeight01
        String 2: 1703145 Tracks\Monte_Grande\OccluderHeight01.meb
        p1 (c1 => 282.350647, c2 => 52.627357, c3 => 344.877411);
        p2 (c1 => 215.088501, c2 => 52.627357, c3 => 187.407806);
        p3 (c1 => 282.350647, c2 => -49.425030, c3 => 344.877411);
        p4 (c1 => 215.088501, c2 => -49.425030, c3 => 187.407806);
OCCL Block 1 (84)
        String 1: 1703186 OccluderHeight02
        String 2: 1703203 Tracks\Monte_Grande\OccluderHeight02.meb
        p1 (c1 => 147.950470, c2 => 77.145142, c3 => -64.882309);
        p2 (c1 => 339.124634, c2 => 77.145142, c3 => -28.453798);
        p3 (c1 => 147.950470, c2 => -18.870144, c3 => -64.882309);
        p4 (c1 => 339.124634, c2 => -18.870144, c3 => -28.453798);

So I guess the turn have come for FLAT.

FLAT consists of two structures repeated.

First a 32 byte header block

After this there's a new 32 byte header followed by 64 byte blocks, repeated until end of the FLAT section.

There is nothing in the change log suggesting it have got support for exporting to this format yet.

The unknown value in FLAT is a length, it is sometimes written as the negative number I presume that is to indicate something.
So this could perhaps be the PARTITIONs, question is then why we have a sphere and two coordinates per child object.
Oh well, I guess I'll try to plot it and see what it looks like.

Just x,y of the bounding boxes (assuming that is what they are), none of their content and no regard for any grouping.
Seems to be some kind of shape there.
