Gaulish Gaming Banquet: editor

Yeah, each leaf is actually an RwFrame connected to the hierarchy (rooted at the scene root or sector root). A branch creates a new subtree- every leaf under it is subject to the branch space. For instance, a flying enemy with particles behind him could be a branch (enemy) and having the leaf (particles) under it. This would snap the particle position to the enemy. If you were to change the particle's frame, It would be local wrt to the enemy. Hope that makes sense.

So crates are beacons and they can have values which encode multiple properties, like upper 3 bits = amount of crates etc.

pegperegogaucho

Afaik, the crate rotation is not encoded in those values (at least in XXL1) so it is determined by something out of our control!

deathhound246

for now* i'm sure there is some way to modify it, we just need to figure out how

hesopesomeso

I know all of that, including where the orientation for them is, just asking if it is in the editor (too lazy to make in mine)... was going to test something tardis wise...

pegperegogaucho

It is encoded in the value as well?

hesopesomeso

Nope, there's an allocation elsewhere just for orientation.

hesopesomeso

Can't recall which class exactly (I think group?), but can tell you once I touch my decompiler.

adrientd

I know that in the CKCrateCpnt class, there is a big array of values, could it be related to the crate orientations? Or maybe some RNG?

hesopesomeso

Ah yes it's actually the component

pegperegogaucho

Yup that makes sense

pegperegogaucho

Now it is required to find out what rotation is chosen for which crate

adrientd

The values are only between 0 and 1 though, so not entirely sure, as I would expect orientations to be in radians? But maybe the devs decided to only apply small rotations to the crates which does make sense.

pegperegogaucho

I mean the crate is symmetrical

pegperegogaucho

pegperegogaucho

Or actually no

adrientd

Yes so rotations would only go up to pi/2 I guess

pegperegogaucho

pegperegogaucho

I guess to be sure we could set all values to 1 and see what happens

pegperegogaucho

if nothing happens to the crates, then it is something different :)
