That's good because now the maps no longer depend on the order of objects in T files - because objects are referenced by their ID instead of index. The basic layout is the same but new attributes were introduced and subobject ('s') can now have string value instead of index. They are same as they were in X2, but new pages were introduced.

There is no need to make special x3 version but as X2 and x3 have different directory structure I will have to find out how to merge it. I don't know whether I will release X3 version or I will update the X2 version. To get lost DLL files back, just do as the following step-by-step instructions: Step 1: Double-click on the program you have installed to open it. I will probably owercome this limitation as I already did in X2 but I don't like it to have 'smart' and 'dumb' format.ĭXBOX2 will be updated. You will loose information when you decompile the BOB file. Scene BOD format - scenes are also the same, but they can now reference the bodies with strings instead of numbers.īOB decompilation - because the BOD format remains the same while the BOB conterpart has changed, there are problems with the decompilation. It's structure is highly dynamic (it acts like array of names/values).ĬUT1 (bob) format - the only change is that the body id is now a string valueīody BOD format - Body BOD format is the same as it was in X2 - except the new material6. It contains secondary set of UV coordinates (I hope it is secondary UV ) and also bunch of numbers which meaning is absolutely unknown to meĪlso new material called material6 was introduced. It's my revenge to Egosoft for not having version information in their BOB1 format and because they are still using the BOB1 header, I will continue to use the name X2BC.īOB1 (bob) format - BOB format was extended in X3. It will be released under the old name - X2BC. X2 BOD Compiler/BOB Decompiler is partially updated to X3 BOB format. The major difference is that missiles are now defined via missile mask (similar to lasers). Unlike in X2 there can also be string values presented in the T files (well maybe it was possible even in X2 - who knows?).Įgosoft has partially dropped the old numeric file naming convetion and it's using human readable names in most of body entries which is good. Only few values was inserted in some files and the 'footer' was extended from 5 to 9 values. T files in X3 have almost the same structure as they had in X2. I hope that the 1st version will not be total disaster Here I will tell you differences between X2 and X3 and future plans of conversion of my X2 tools to be X3 compatible. This post is primary for all the X2 modders who were waiting for me and my tools so they can start really working
