# `Anim/WarHammer.ani`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This turns out to simply be an [`obj`](obj.md#WarHammer.ani) file. However, some
|
||
|
|
other files are implicated in its interpretation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `Data/AniObDef.dat`
|
||
|
|
- `Idx/WarHammer.idx`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Including comments, the former is 4098 lines, giving approx. 45 lines for each
|
||
|
|
of the ~188 characters in the `ani`. That doesn't seem many, and there's no
|
||
|
|
obvious correspondence between the commented-on names (`SMOKE01`?) and the
|
||
|
|
viewed frames... but then, I've not viewed all the frames.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Still, I think a focus in `WarHammer.idx` (1,880,078 bytes, binary, so around
|
||
|
|
10KiB per character, in theory) is more reasonable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here's a list of operations on the file when `WH40K_TD.EXE` is instructed to
|
||
|
|
place an Ultramarine squad:

Operation 1 contains `[18 00]`. Operation 2, at `0x1800`, contains `[A8 4D]` -
|
||
|
|
and operation 3 starts at `0x4DA8`. The pattern repeats for operations
|
||
|
|
7 -> 8 -> 9.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assumimg operations 1 & 7 represent one type of record, while 2 & 8 represent
|
||
|
|
another, that would give us a 511-entry directory starting at 0xC. We know the
|
||
|
|
first 4 bytes represent an offset to find the type of record represented by
|
||
|
|
2 & 8. We don't know about the other 8 bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Offset | Size | Meaning |
|
||
|
|
| ------ | ---- | ------- |
|
||
|
|
| 0 | 4 | Position of type 2 record(s) |
|
||
|
|
| 4 | ? | Unknown |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The records represented by operations 2 & 8 both read 5x 12-byte records, but it
|
||
|
|
looks like they're arranged in blocks of 8. Nothing in type 1 records indicates
|
||
|
|
how many type 2 records there are.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Offset | Size | Meaning |
|
||
|
|
| ------ | ---- | ------- |
|
||
|
|
| 0 | 2? | `02 06` - ??? |
|
||
|
|
| 2 | 2? | `n xx` - ??? `n` counts from 1 to 8 |
|
||
|
|
| 4 | 4 | Position of type 3 record |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The two type 3a and 3b records are identical to each other, it's hard to know
|
||
|
|
what's what.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None of the unknown numbers, however sliced, seem to be sprite indices for
|
||
|
|
`Anim/WarHammer.ani`.

Here's a trace of both `idx` (fd 34) and `ani` (fd 14) files when placing a
