`WarHammer.ani` turns out to be a regular `obj` file; `WarHammer.idx` is partially decoded, but I'm struggling to link it to the former in a reasonable way at the moment.
12 KiB
12 KiB
Anim/WarHammer.ani
This turns out to simply be an obj file. However, some
other files are implicated in its interpretation:
Data/AniObDef.datIdx/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
single librarian for me to dig into in more detail.
