[RELEASE] Massive Format Information

[ExJam]

And MaTTx, is there a reason you're laughing at me?

Because he thinks he is better than everyone else, i don't see him contributing in any way to the community, all i have seen from him is insults towards people who need help.

Well, seeing as how I was making random guesses at how to get a proper angle out of a random floating point number, I think I did pretty well in guessing what I did, since most NPCs seem to be pointing in the right direction. Are you sure that that is the function they use? Cause I can't seem to make it work :/

Yes, if you are attempting to find the value sent in the npc spawn packet,
NpcQuaterToRot(quaternion_w, quaternion_x, quaternion_y, quaternion_z);

i don't see him contributing in any way to the community

Why would I?

Because that is what this forum is for, to share information and to help others, not to insult them.

What I'm trying to find is the value to put into the list_npcs table based on what is in the IFO file. Essentially I'm making a script to auto-populate the list_npcs table.

Well i am not familiar with osrose, but if that value is what gets sent in the packet, then my code is 100% correct, i have used it in my server which loads directly from the IFO files, and the official server uses the same code.

I'd like to point out that more then likely, the only reason matt isn't helping, but rather insulting everyone is that he is jealous that you have more knowledge about the formats then him, or at least, have got it working and he hasn't yet. Also, nice try trying to make yourself sound more knowledgeable then us by saying some formats are wrong, that is 100% false, I have an application that compares our format files against all files inside of the rose folder, and it detects discrepancies on 1% of files, mainly because QSD and AIP files are missing opcodes. Nice try though.

Cheers, Brett

I'm still having no luck with that function, here's a quick C++ prog I threw together to test it.

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

1. float NpcQuaterToRot(float qw, float qx, float qy, float qz){
2.     float qw2 = qw*qw;
3.     float qx2 = qx*qx;
4.     float qy2 = qy*qy;
5.     float qz2 = qz*qz;
6.     float yaw = atan2(qw*qz + qx*qy, qy2-qx2-qz2+qw2);
7.     return yaw * 57.29578f;
8. }
9.  
10. int main() {
11.   float w = 0;
12.   float x = 0;
13.   float y = 0.6087613;
14.   float z = -0.7933534;
15.   float Dir = NpcQuaterToRot(w, x, y, z);
16.   cout << "Dir: " << Dir << endl;
17. }

The NPC is 1255, [Sikuku Warrior] Yak. The output I get is

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

1. Dir: 180

The only numbers I get are 180 and 0. I'm using the IFO Editor by Arnold to get the w/x/y/z from the IFO files.

I'm sorry everyone, the truth is that I really don't know that much about ROSE and just use this forum to try and expand my e-penis. I apologize for being such a dick.

Thanks for admitting it.
