Effect Compilations
Overview
This section combines multiple effects from the previous sections. The same effects are often used more than once here but with different offsets and parameters.
Format
BYTE[4] DWORD EffectCount --Repeat EffectCount // Effect Block Table DWORD BYTE[8] FLOAT FLOAT BYTE[5] DWORD Count1 FLOAT[Count1] //LOD Ranges BYTE[16] DWORD BlockIndexCount --repeat BlockIndexCount BYTE BlockType BYTE[6] FLOAT FLOAT[12] Transformation Matrix //Little Endian BYTE MinLOD //index to LOD Ranges BYTE MaxLOD //index to LOD Ranges DWORD Count --repeat Count FLOAT FLOAT FLOAT FLOAT[6] // always 1.0 BYTE[12] FLOAT DWORD BlockIndex BYTE BYTE
Effect Handles
Overview
This is the root of an effect tree. Effects are called via scripts and clip events by the name provided in this section, which links to the other parts.
Format
--Repeat until index 0xFFFFFFFF DWORD CompilationIndex //see previous section ZSTRING EffectName
