Sonic Heroes Object Placement Format!

After weeks of research (and I didn't had to spend so much time looking for it), I present you, Sonic Heroes Object Placement format, Cracked! 65% Of the file. So, let's get to what's intersting!

Code (Text):

1. Sonic Heroes Object Format
2. It's BIG endian, so if you're a SADX hacker (SADX uses little endian), remember to set your Hex Editor up.
3. File Format:
4. sLL_PS.bin
5. While LL is the level, and S is the player (1-4). Also includes Super Hard Mode (P5) and Global Objects (PB).
6. Format:
7. Each object entry is 0x30 bytes long.
8.  
9. float - X Position - position in plane. You can find the coordinates using Link's memory editor, as I don't have the values
10. float - Y Position
11. float - Z Position
12.  
13. long - X Rotation - rotation ranges from 00 00 00 00 to FF FF FF FF.
14. long - Y Rotation
15. long - Z Rotation
16.  
17. byte - unknow [12] - now there are 12 bytes wich I don't know the function. They look alike in each object entry. Probably they are the Misc. Settings.
18.  
19. long - type - defines wich object. Second byte in the long is the actual type, the rest are variables that set, for exemple, wich list to use. I do not know much. 00 03 00 06 is an exemple for a ring.
20.  
21. long - unknow - unknow

So, that covers a bit more than half of the object placement. Hope you all like (and I also hope I can get validated with that).

EDIT: Remember: Things are still very buggy, as they always were in Sonic Heroes. Doing minor texture edits to the level might crash the game, imagine this. (PS. Yes, I know how to edit the stages textures without problems but there are a LOT of problems)

 

MainMemory and AshuraTheHedgehogDX helped me (well MainMemory at least tried helping with something, and Ashura incentivated me)



Now, just if we could find out the model format. Think it will take a while.

 

Already working on Grand Metropolis Zone Object List. Seaside Hill Zone is just too buggy.

01 - Spring
02 - Triplet Spring
03 - Ring
04 - Tikal Hintball Hint Ring
