Map Disassembling + tutorial
« on: February 28, 2010, 06:49:28 AM »
This is the dump of my shakuras MapInfo file.
 
Bytes:

000006000000150000001E4000
 
 
String:
 
IpaM....................Dark.Shakuras.........................Assets\Textures\loading-shakuras.dds................. ...X...............................................Terr.......................Prot.......................Prot.......................Prot....
 
 
 
 Adding players or Change state:

1. Open .s2ma file with your MPQ editor.
 
2. Find MapInfo file inside and open it in Hexeditor.
 
3. Find the bytes that look like this. (My example is from a 4 player map)

0003000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0101000000FFFFFFFF0000000000000000000000000000
0202000000FFFFFFFF0000000000000000000000000000
0300000000FFFFFFFF0000000000000000000000000000
0400000000FFFFFFFF0000000000000000000000000000
 
in MapInfo... the add AddPlayer bytes are (03,01,02,00,00 in this example)
 
00 - Disabled
01 - Human
02 - AI
03 - Observer Player
 
If all bytes are 02 except the one for player 00 (witch must remain 03) u get in observer mode.
 
Color
 
The color bytes are FF FF FF FF
 
It can takes values like 00 00 00 00, 01 00 00 00, 02 00 00 00 ...... 0F 00 00 00
 
Race - after the color bytes (FF FF FF FF) insert String Zerg, Prot, Terr
 
*beware not to write over old bytes but insert new ones.
 
Zerg in Hex is5A 65 72 67
Prot in Hex is 50 72 6F 74
Terr in Hex is 54 65 72 72
 
0101000000FFFFFFFF0000000000000000000000000000

becames
 
0101000000FFFFFFFF50726F740000000000000000000000000000
 
Spaw Position
 
0101000000FFFFFFFF50726F740000000000000000000000000000
 
00 Bytes - can take values 01 - 04 (this case 4 player map 4 spawn points. 00 is random base)

Loading map Image

 
IpaM....................Dark.Shakuras.........................Assets\Textures\loading-shakuras.dds.................
 
 
1. Create inside s2ma file (mpq archive)
 
a folder Assets inside this folder make another called Textures
 
take "loading-shakuras.dds" from "C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta\Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\base.SC2Assets" mpq archive and place it in your Texture created folder.
 
Load image Widescreen mode:

find
 
735C6C6F6164696E672D7368616B757261732E6464730002000000FFFFFFFF00000000000000
 
the 02 is loader image in widescreen  or stretch.
 
values can take: 00 - none, 01 - stretch, 02 - widescreen.

Hey Blackcode, I figured this one out too. :D

I'm currently busy making a utility so users can edit their own map settings.
  • Change the number of AI opponents on the map (4 player maps).
  • You can specify that you want AI only (User will be a spectator), this will be good for AI devs to monitor how the AI plays.
  • You can have custom AI settings for a specific map.
  • More features to come... stay tuned.

can you make an AI vs Ai obs mode for the small 1x1 maps (Blistering sands), please?

Map modifier on it's way... soon...

Just a sample of what I'm working on (not what it will look like when it's done).

You have probably already found this, but i got a nifty MPQ package addon for my Total Commander, and started browsing around in SC2 AI and MAP files.
I came across the attributes files in the maps which start out as:
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Attributes>
    <Variant>
        <Id Value="1"/>
        <Genre Value="1"/>
        <GameType Value="2"/>
        <MaxTeamSize Value="1"/>
        <Name Value="Variant001/Name"/>
        <Description Value="Variant001/Desc"/>
        <Attribute Id="3010">
            <Locked/>
Would it be possible to rearrange this file to change the gametype?
I have found that maps usually triggers some melee scripts. If those scripts are added to the map, then the map should be able to change the gametype if nothing else works.
Its just that it would be nice to be able to make 2vs2 maps. Has 1vs3 already been made? That would be nice as well. Making observer possible is cool, and I am wondering how that was found out? Randomly changing hex code? I doubt that :)
Good work so far though. I just began looking through the scripts today.
Another question. If the AI files are unpacked and you just place the files from the package in subfolders, would they over rule the AI files? And would it overrule these files if they are put into maps? I still have not found the priorities of all these scripts. I am just fairly certain just about all scripts can be added to the map files and overrule them all as they are mini mods.

I posted my findings about setting the color in another thread (http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/general-discussion/select-your-race!/) - to summarize: I also think that this u32 is the color, but values like 00000001 just give the default color. Setting it to 00000000 results in white. Read my whole post though (#3 in the linked thread) please.

EDIT: I'm not sure if asdf is right about the player count - this was set to 00 in my Kula's Ravine (4 player map) that I use for testing and it works flawlessly.

EDIT 2: I also played a bit with the player name, but nothing I tried changed the ingame name. The map worked though, although I inserted 7 bytes as the name.
