The EVO Pilot File...

Ok people, I'm currently about half way through (I think) a total EVO editor, designed to make EVO plug in editing a breeze, and since i've conquered all the other resources (Damn the Mission resource was big!!) I'd like to see if I can make a PilotObject class - does anyone know the field descriptions for the EVO pilot file, Opif?

There are two resources, 128 is the pilot and 129 is the ship, i'd like to be able to import them, I can create the importer easily as long as I know the field descriptions ie, what each byte of infomation represents.

Cheers!

Ok.... I'm a doofus in such fields....
But maybe you could search for the EV Edit website and mail the creator and ask him! I'm SURE he can answer you!
Sorry I can't help you on this one... 🙂

I worked on this a few months back. If you use the search function you can pull up old info I posted, as well as some useful offsets by (I think) Markko (http://www.AmbrosiaS...TML/000538.html). Be aware that editing the pilot file isn't as simple as providing the correct field types; the pilot file resources are encrypted. So, to edit any part of the file, you need to decrypt it, edit it, and then re-encrypt it.

If you're interested, you can download a pilot file editor I made. (url="http://"http://phair.rit.edu/~seant/EV/PFEv2b.sit.hqx")http://phair.rit.edu.../PFEv2b.sit.hqx(/url)

The little feedback I've gotten on it indicates everything works as it should. Right now it is an Applescript application, which means it runs slowly. If you have an interest, I'd love to see it rewritten in C/C++ and can provide the source script.

Updated/related note: I just got around to submitting the pilot file editor I made to the EVO add-ons, but it may be some time before it actually appears there.
