Environment file question

Fifi · 04-19-21, 06:29 AM

Hi,

Could someone explain me what is the utility of the 2 files inside the Env folder, the BMP one (whole planet picture) and the .raw one (can’t open it cause i don’t have the codecs)?

What do they do exactly please? Are they different from one mod to an other?

You mean the SeaInf file?

Never knew what are they for...

Iirc, the files are used to show where each zone/area (arctic, med, etc.) applies on the map.

Not easy to make difference though

Also iirc, those are the only two simulated in the game. I.e., the "arctic" files are just atlantic files for use in the arctic.
Maybe someone else can correct me if wrong. I recall it being discussed many years ago.

Fifi, fwiw opening up the stock .bmp file shows three zones; arctic, atlantic, med.

If I remember correctly when I did the coloured map that is used in LSH (under my old name IFRT-WHUFC) I opened the raw file in photoshop then imported the palette file terrain.pal which defines the colours on the map, each individual colour represents a land height or sea depth. The height & depth I think is hardcorded within the raw file & cannot be altered without throwing out the game engine.

Hope this helps

Rick
