I figured out Weather Raw

Post by **grimdoomer** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 7:09 pm

Well I have been working on Weather Raw today, and it's surprisingly very easy. It's based on two blocks, Placement, and Rotation. When the map loads, it places particles in all of the placement spots. They then fall a ramdom distance, pick a random rotation chunk, rotate, and repeat.

I wrote some ghetto code to simulate this, although I used verts and did not implement the rotation proccess due to my limited knowledge of Xna. Here is a video. Sorry for the horrible frame rate.

Here is the weather raw layout.

Code: Select all

Header
  HeaderBlock - chars[4]
  DataSize - Int32
  PlacementCount - Int32
  Null - Int32
  RotationCount - Int32

Placement Block
  X - Float
  Y - Float
  Z - Float
  Unknown - Int32
  Null - Int32

Rotation Block
  Null - Byte[12]
  l - Float
  j - Float
  k - Float
  w - Float
  Null - Byte[4]
