Sht files?

[Koko]

Hey,

 

Does anyone know whats the relation between .wtr files (the terrain part i mean) and .[CeNsOrEd] files?

Ive been trying to understand that for a while but i cant find anything logic.

 

What ive noticed is that there are 1536*1536*2 bytes in junos .[CeNsOrEd] file, which makes me think theres a short for each height... but wouldnt there be 1537*1537*2 bytes then?

 

Well, idk, need a hand here...

 

Thanks!

[CeNsOrEd] is for elevation map in the gs setting , and wtr is for elevation in the client side , example , u have in map (client ) alevation 90 , u must create [CeNsOrEd] whit elevation 90 , if u use more or less u see the other ppl in the map underground or fly , u understand? 

[Koko]

Yep ikr.

What i dont understand is how the height works in the [CeNsOrEd]. Coz it doesnt seem to be (just like in the .wtr) the real height.

[fonsy84]

usually gets the maximum height of the map in the [CeNsOrEd], this is because if you climb a high mountain, you would cease to see that player on the map.

Im not sure you understand my question :p

Lets try to explain that way: i wonder how is the height encrypted in a .[CeNsOrEd] file. Is it as in the wtr a height pos for each coord with a math formula, or is it different?

[someone]

This is the height map equation:

The heightmap is a matrix[w][h] of floats,  and x is an unsigned short(data that reads from [CeNsOrEd] file, unsigned short are 2 bytes) network byte order

and x is an unsigned short(...) network byte order

I dont get that part at all :/

Also, why is there only width*height shorts? That means theres no data for the (0,y) line?

 

Edit: and finally, theres no math operation applied to the heights? (while there is in the wtr)

[someone]

The y part is the value (which is x/100)

 

The unsigned short is is 2 bytes long, so it reads 2 bytes every time, and in the file it is stored  in the network byte order(ntohs)

[Koko]

Ok i think i got it.

Thanks alot!

This is the correct one(the one that I posted above will get the map rotated with  90 degrees and inverted):
