Title: FS2 Pilot File Specs
Post by: Darkhill on March 20, 2004, 01:05:20 pm

Does anybody have the *complete* specs to Freespace 2 pilots?  Not the generalized one from the developer network.  Want to do a viewer/editor and it would be nice to know where all the medals/MP kills/etc are without going through the hassle of a hex editor.  If there is already a viewer/editor out there that would work just as well.  The viewer that comes with DMTOOLs gives me a error for any pilot I give it.

You're trying it with FS2_Open pilots aren't you? It doesn't like them but it works fine with standard ones.

Yeah I am using the FS2_Open pilots.  And actually I don't really need the specs all I have to do is look them up in the code.

Code: [Select]


//First the type definition of a string in Volition's code
typedef struct STRING
{
    int  len;
    char text[len];
}

//Then some constants
#define PLRVERSION_FREESPACE1 100 //64 hex
#define PLRVERSION_FREESPACE2 140 //8C hex


//------------------------------------------------------------------

//Now to the file format itself
char signature[4]; // "FSPF" = FreeSpace Player File
int version; // FreeSpace 1: $64/100 - FreeSpace 2: $8C/140

if (version==PLRVERSION_FREESPACE1)
{
    int unknown1;
    short mainhall; //FS1: 0=Galatea, 1=Bastion
    STRING pilot_pic;
    STRING current_campaign;
    STRING ship_name;
    BYTE unknown5;

    short DataBlock1[210];
    BYTE DataBlock2[113];

    int num_lastplayedmissions;
    STRING lastplayedmission[num_missions];

    int score;
    int unknown6;
    int assists;
    int DataBlock3[16]; //unknown

    int num_ship_destroyed_entries;
    int ship_destroyed_entry[num_ship_destroyed_entries];
}

if (version==PLRVERSION_FREESPACE2)
{
    int unknown1;
    short mainhall; //FS2: 0=Aquitaine (Terran), 1=Psamtik (Vasudan)
    int unknown3;
    STRING pilot_pic;
    STRING squad_name;
    STRING squad_pic;
    int unknown4;
    STRING ship_name;
    BYTE unknown5;

    short DataBlock1[216];
    BYTE DataBlock2[1177];

    int num_lastplayedmissions;
    STRING lastplayedmission[num_missions];

    int score;
    int unknown6;
    int assists;
    int DataBlock3[18]; //unknown

    int num_ship_destroyed_entries;
    short ship_destroyed_entry[num_ship_destroyed_entries];
}

//In both cases now the interesting data comes
int unknown7;
int num_kills;
int pri_shots;
int sec_shots;
int pri_hits;
int sec_hits;
int pri_friendly_hits;
int sec_friendly_hits;

//What now follows is 27 more ints and lots of other unknown and rather uninteresting information
...

Thats what I wasn't looking for.  I was looking for *everything* like medals awarded, rank, etc.  Stuff so I could do a complete pilot editor since the FS2 one doesn't like FS2 Open pilots.
