Shipped "Core.lvl" file

Post by Leviathan »

Hi all !

I'd like to know what files are contained in the shipped "core.lvl" file (In "Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC"), and how I can munge them... I've just discovered it has *.XML files (Shaders), *.TGA files (Textures) and *.LOC files (Localization keys), but I'm not sure there are only those files... I'm almost sure it possesses fonts, too... (I'm not joking...)

So, any help would be great... Thanks in advance !... :wink:

And what about the munging process ? I know I must edit Batch files to include command-lines to compile my shaders ; But what are those instructions ?

Thanks to you, psych0' !... :wink:

Well, it is rather puzzling... All projects I want to made can't be realized... :(
Nevertheless, I've other questions : Does SWBF's source code still exist, and can you have access to it ? And what are the extensions of the different files compiled in "core.lvl" ? (Except *.TGA, *.LOC and *.XML)

Thanks to you, psych0fred... :wink:

New question : If I had munged files (Compiled textures, fonts, localization files and shaders), what Batch files should I edit to pack all those files into a custom version of "core.lvl" ?...

I've temporary given up "common.lvl" rebuild... But if you could give me the exact URL which shows the original "_BUILD_PC" and "Common" folders' structure, it would be nice...

Thanks in advance !... :P

Wow ! I didn't know there were so many files... :roll:
Well, I'll see what I can do with that... I guess my project will take much time, but I'm going to try anyway... :)

Once again, I thank you, fred'... :wink:

PS : I've noticed the structure of the "Common" folder counts files which aren't present in SWBF Mod Tools. (Such a K-Wing's animations) Is it important if I do not include them in a new "Common" project ?
