MrFlibble Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 There seems to be only the Atreides test mission (in my version, at least), selecting HK or OR test missions crash the game with a "Please reinstall" message.copy test.map and make ittesta.map testo.map testh.map.. Won't this just make three absolutely identical test missions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2k Sardaukar Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 You're looking for the root/Data/UI_DATA/loadmis.uil file.The structure of the UI files has each string preceeded by an int16 describing how long that string is. So if you change a colour to Red when it was Transparent for example, you would need to subtract 8 from the length. I wrote a basic text.uib parser last night (my previous one ran too slow), and eventually I'll write a UIL parser (if only because I think it would be a quite fun program to make.)It is worth noting that from next week I will be in full time work so my focus will probably shift from working out the files to making tools based on what we already know, when I get the time.This means that the loadmis.uil was already there and that you just added an option to mainmenu to use it. Cool. :)Thanks for the help, I got some changes in the look/graphics working.I also discovered something funny. I tried to add an enter (space) in the file by using normal .txt enter bits (0D 0A) and this triggered an image not there in Dune2000.See screenshot below. Perhaps it helps. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Looks like some sort of debug image missing error. I think that's one of the first couple of images in the data.R* files might be this image. I'll look into getting house logos in the file :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunoa Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 What are you using C++ for?I need to make something(bot what clicks designed area by 0,5 second between 2 clicks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMIgaBot Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 hey maybe something to replace player intervention in game should be done. i heard that there was on some clan had an program that will produce things that you order to.. it was something like queue thing but it was outside software. it was causing game much easier. you build buldings program build units or something. few dune vets had it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvi Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Probably would be a lot easier to use something like C# for the program rather than C++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 This seems really cool. What are the v2 maps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 There are several "versions" of certain mission, when you can select more than one region on the Dune map. Such versions share the same objectives, but the maps and positions of forces are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Ah, you mean the choice we have for certain missions. For example, Ordos mission 6, protecting the Starport. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2k Sardaukar Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 When I copy the whole BUTTON block of westwood logo in mainmenu to this loadmis.uil file, it works, but you lose the cancel button, if I change the first byte I get my cancel button back but also get the cross I showed in the image above.That first byte is a hard one to solve. Just put the UI_GAME folder to descend from small to big and go to the smallest .uil and compare that to the next one. Sometimes the first byte says 0x0C and the other also, but the next .uif could also be be 0x0D or 0x0B while not much is changed in the .uil file. Perhaps it has something to do with the amount of commands/strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Well, that's not how it is in the original game.I wonder why though as it could have added a greater variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2k Sardaukar Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) I made a script that calculates the amount of characters. For loadmis.uil is that 20463 and the first bytes are 0x60 0x03. No mather how I endian that, lol, I don't get that amount.60 03 = 2457903 60 = 86406 03 = 153960 30 = 2462406 30 = 1584Ok, for another one.AMis3.uil = 160First byte 0x0C (and second one is 0x00)0C = 12C0 = 192AMis3.uil = 135First byte 0x0D (and second one is 0x00)0D = 13D0 = 208RINTRO3.uil = 132First byte 0x0C (and second one is 0x00)0C = 12C0 = 192 old stuff Edited June 13, 2013 by D2k Sardaukar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
