==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.

{{FormatInfo

|subcat=Game data files
|extensions={{ext|map}}
}}

Map files are binary files that contain image data for the player's map in the game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_Days_to_Die 7 Days to Die].

==Format==
The map data stored is only what the player has explored so far. The file contains tile segments, each being 16x16 tiles. Each tile has color data attached to it.

<pre>
char[4] header
uint32 version
uint32 number_of_segments

struct coordinates[number_of_segments]
int16 x
int16 y

seek 524300

struct tile_segments[number_of_segments]
struct rows[16]
struct tiles[16]
uint16 tile_color_data
</pre>

Each tiles color on the map is represented by a 16 bit number where each color is 5 bits and the MSB is meaningless:

<pre>
MSB LSB
0001000101000101
| r || g || b |
32 80 40
</pre>

'''Barony Voxel''' files are used by the game [http://www.baronygame.com/ Barony] to store voxel model data. Each file is a three dimensional array of indexes to voxel colors. If a voxel index is 255 or 0xFF, then the voxel is transparent. There can only be 256 different colors including transparency in a Barony voxel model.

==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.

==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.

User talk:Dan Tobias

2016-09-25T05:03:37Z

Hamhock666: /* Pages in multiple categories */ new section

== CSS ==

We need to figure out how to deal with disambiguation pages. It is obvious that [[CSS]] can be either [[Cascading Style Sheets]] or [[Content Scramble System]], and I don't think this particular wiki should give preference to one known value over another if the abbreviation can be expanded to an unambiguous name. That's why I linked to [[CSS]] on the [[DVD]] page, rather than linking directly to [[Content Scramble System]]. Unless we plan to sort this out immediately, it might be best to leave that link in place, so that we don't lose track of it. Thoughts? [[User:Gphemsley|Gphemsley]] ([[User talk:Gphemsley|talk]]) 02:05, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
:Perhaps the current CSS article should be moved to Cascading Style Sheets, and a Content Scramble System article created, with [[CSS]] as a disambig article linking to both. But in that case, any specific links to a particular kind of CSS should link directly to the proper one of the articles, not the disambig one. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 02:18, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
:: Done. And created [[Template:Disambiguation]] to keep track of disambiguation pages. [[User:Gphemsley|Gphemsley]] ([[User talk:Gphemsley|talk]]) 16:00, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

== Interwiki links ==

Just a heads-up: You can link to Wikipedia (and a select number of other wikis) using the regular wikilinking syntax by using the relevant wikiprefix. For example: [[Wikipedia:User:GPHemsley]] or [[Wikipedia:Archive Team]]. That way you can differentiate more intimate links to Wikipedia from truly external links to other websites. [[User:Gphemsley|GPHemsley]] ([[User talk:Gphemsley|talk]]) 17:48, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

:Given this site's founder's opinions of Wikipedia, I'm not sure he'd like to get "more intimate" with it, but I'll keep that in mind anyway. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 23:07, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia - I had a paid writing gig last year and in the guidlines there was a strict prohibition from using or citing Wikipedia.
They had good reasons for that... [[User:Cipher|Cipher]] ([[User talk:Cipher|talk]])
:It's still a useful reference if you take it with a big grain of salt. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 01:51, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
::If you take Wikipedia with a big grain of salt, then you must take every other wiki (including this one) with a whole salt mine. [[User:Gphemsley|GPHemsley]] ([[User talk:Gphemsley|talk]]) 15:07, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

== Sidebar ==

Another wikitip: You can change the links in the sidebar by editing [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] (admins only). You might choose to remove "Current events" and "Help" and add some of the links from the Main page, for example. It takes a somewhat special syntax, though, so you'll probably want to consult [[mw:Manual:Interface/Sidebar]] for guidance. [[User:Gphemsley|GPHemsley]] ([[User talk:Gphemsley|talk]]) 22:26, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

:Thanks for the tips. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 23:40, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

== re [[Talk:Text-based_data]] ==

How do you feel about splitting the Markup languages section out of [[Document]] and a few of the file formats out of [[Text-based data]] into a [[Markup]] page/category? For instance [[textile]] and [[markdown]] have different ontologies but are more similar than not. I'm willing to move stuff over if you define the category. As you mentioned on [[Talk:Text-based data]], 'Categorization is getting pretty chaotic' [[User:Sethwoodworth|Sethwoodworth]] ([[User talk:Sethwoodworth|talk]]) 00:58, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

:A lot of stuff in the ontology probably needs rethinking... any attempt to categorize things starts to get messy and inconsistent after a while, and shows the biases of whoever set them up in the first place and whatever lines of thought they happened to be having at the time, which might not end up being relevant later. (See the Dewey Decimal System categories, for instance; it devotes lots of number space to different aspects of Christian churches, then shoves all "Other Religions" in a small section.) Yes, markup probably deserves its own category (though HTML then would belong there, but it's also in the Web category; should things be in just one category or multiple ones?) [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 02:01, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

:Hrrm, I see. Maybe things need multiple categories. The CDC's public health image library uses multiple ontologies pretty effectively [http://imgur.com/lqd6p] For now I wont sweat it too much. Search works pretty well. [[User:Sethwoodworth|Sethwoodworth]] ([[User talk:Sethwoodworth|talk]]) 16:14, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

:OK, I added a [[Markup]] page. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 15:58, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

== IPA ==

I noticed that you created [[IPA]] to describe some iOS/iTunes format that I'm not familiar with. However, IPA can also refer to the [[Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet|International Phonetic Alphabet]], which probably falls under the text encoding/language script portion of this project. It should probably be disambiguated. [[User:Gphemsley|GPHemsley]] ([[User talk:Gphemsley|talk]]) 03:23, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

== Deletion request ==

Hey Dan, [[:Category:File_formats_with_extension_.dcs|this category was created in error]]. Would you mind nuking it for me? [[User:Lewis Collard|Lewis Collard]] ([[User talk:Lewis Collard|talk]]) 22:42, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

== Self-links ==

You may not be aware, but explicitly bolded "self-links" (like this - '''[[User talk:Dan Tobias]]''') aren't handled consistently by different web browsers. In some they are bold, and in some (IE, and sometimes Firefox) they are really-really bold. I don't think the wiki software expects you to do that.

:Yes, I've noticed that... I kind of like the font Firefox (sometimes) uses for this, which is what got me to start doing it (in imitation of somebody else who first started doing it here a while back; I don't remember who), but perhaps that's an unintended effect? On Firefox on a different machine it doesn't show up, so it seems to depend on system-specific things (like what fonts are installed maybe?). It would be good to be consistent in style, though, so how do you think main titles should be marked up? [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 18:25, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

::I have no preference as to how they're marked up, but I do prefer to see them rendered as normal bold (like Wikipedia), not extra bold. [[User:Jsummers|Jsummers]] ([[User talk:Jsummers|talk]]) 18:56, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
:::Fair enough. I think I'll do it that way from now on; my main concern is to stay consistent, not so much to favor one style or another. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 19:08, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

== SVG uploads ==

Hi,

As you have noticed i've been doing error codes, fault codes, and other messages and i have now come across [http://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/kitchenaid-fault-codes.html#Kitchen%20Aid%20Cooktop%20Fault%20Codes%2030%20in this]. As you see there are icons displaying an indicator, but i wouldn't want to copy it from their site. I do think that it can be argued that simple shapes are not protected by copyright, but their quality is shit, and i have already recreated the display in SVG (proper SVG, not one of those 'picture-to-svg' things). However, when i attempt to upload it here i find that this wiki doesn't accept SVG at all, which is very strange.

You are the only active admin at the moment, and i was hoping you can help me with this or at least tell me who do i need to sexually gratify to allow me to help this project by uploading some circles )))

Thanks in advance. [[User:VolodyA! V Anarhist|VolodyA! V Anarhist]] ([[User talk:VolodyA! V Anarhist|talk]]) 15:36, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

:I don't think I have any way of changing that; at least, I don't see anything about it in the array of tools I can see as an admin. Maybe it's a sysadmin-level config thing requiring access to the server. Jason Scott is the owner of the site, but he doesn't show up here much. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 17:13, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

::Yeah, it is in the LocalSettings file... will ask Jason Scott for help. [[User:VolodyA! V Anarhist|VolodyA! V Anarhist]] ([[User talk:VolodyA! V Anarhist|talk]]) 19:13, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

== DISPLAYTITLE ==

Hi, i see you tried to add DISPLAYTITLE to [[C Sharp]] and noticed that it didn't work. Just wanted to explain why (if you are wondering). Basically the default MediaWiki settings only permit to change the display title if it was potentially possible to interpret title this way. For example, when you change the case of the first letter (that gets altered automatically) or when you change space into an underscore (because software would otherwise do the opposite). It is potentially possible to change [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRestrictDisplayTitle $wgRestrictDisplayTitle] to false, but that would open us to trolling and other bad things. [[User:VolodyA! V Anarhist|VolodyA! V Anarhist]] ([[User talk:VolodyA! V Anarhist|talk]]) 05:50, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

:OK, thanks. [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 12:01, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

== FTM ==
Just came back to create those additional Family tree maker categories and found that you'd done it, Thank you [[User:Sam888|Sam888]] ([[User talk:Sam888|talk]]) 00:38, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
:You're welcome! [[User:Dan Tobias|Dan Tobias]] ([[User talk:Dan Tobias|talk]]) 02:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks again, lighting Dan :) [[User:Sam888|Sam888]] ([[User talk:Sam888|talk]]) 23:06, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

== Pages in multiple categories ==

Hey, I noticed you just created a [[Saved Games]] page. I assume any game save formats from the [[Game data files]] page should be moved over, but what about if a format falls into both of these categories? For example, [[Cities Skylines CRP]] files are used for both save games, as well as community made mods and maps. Can a page be in multiple subcategories, or should it remain in the category it fits best? I'm not really sure who to turn to on formatting issues, so hopefully im in the right place.

'''Data Resource Files''' are used in the PC game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Empires_(video_game) Age of Empires] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Empires_II Age of Empires II] for storing game files such as graphics and sound. It is an archive, so a drs file stores other files which then need to be interpreted in their own unique way.

Common files found archived in a drs file:
*[[Age of Empires Graphics File]] (.slp)
*[[WAV]] (.wav)

==Format==
<pre>
char[36] copyright
uint32 version
char[16] unknown

uint32 table_offset
uint32 num_table_entries

struct entries[num_table_entries]
uint32 id
uint32 offset
uint32 size
</pre>

*Files can then be read from the drs file and written to disk using the offset and size of the file given under each entry.

==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.

}}

The freeware DOS puzzle game [[wikipedia:Supaplex|Supaplex]] has a file called "levels.dat" which contains all the levels for the game.

==Format details==
This is a very simple, uncompressed format where each level is stored sequentially and takes up 1536 bytes each.

The original levels.dat distributed with the game is 170496 bytes in size (111 levels).

===Level===
Offsets are relative to the beginning of each level.

Game data files

Hamhock666: /* Individual Game Formats */

{{FormatInfo
|formattype=electronic
|thiscat=Game data files
|image=Arcade-gaming-1361761483gDu.jpg
}}

==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.

==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.

==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.

==Overview==
Many popular games use proprietary file formats to store their assets. These include custom image, sound and video formats and custom archive formats. There is no way that all of these can be enumerated here in some way or another. And as long as the games can still be run by an [[Emulation_Software|Emulator]] it's not that much of a deal. However, a lot of work has been put into deciphering, decrypting and hacking these files, and that work should be preserved.

See also: [[Interactive Fiction]] for data formats related to text adventure games, [[Puzzles]] for puzzle-game files, and [[Saved Games]] for data saved by games to store a player's game status.
