=== Event Object ===

Unlike in elma1, in elma2, there are only object-touch events for flowers (and I'm guessing switches) if the object is "activated". A flower will have an object-touch event when you finished the level successfully.

A level that starts facing right does not include the autogenerated first turn event

Levels

How to parse a level byte by byte. Remember little-endianess.

Polygon objects are oriented so for y, up is negative and down is positive. Line objects are inverted so for y, up is positive and down is negative.


Main .lev Structure

Offset Type Bytes Description
0 char[5] 5 "POT35" for Elma 2 levels
5 int 4 30 if unlocked level, 0 if locked level. Otherwise, assertion error
9 short 2 1 if topology error, 0 if no topology error.
11 int 4 1 if start out facing right (autoturn at level start)
15 char[51] 51 Unused: Level name/description. "Unnamed". Unused but can be hex-edited
66 char[16] 16 LGR name. Unchangeable except by hex edit. Always "default"
82 char[10] 10 Unused: Ground texture name. Unused. Value always overwritten to "texturea" on save. If missing on open, defaults as "ground"
92 char[10] 10 Unused: Sky texture name. Unused. Value always overwritten to "qgrass" on save. If missing on open, defaults as "sky"
102 byte[20] 20 Unused: ? Appears to be useless. Can be hex-edited
122 int 4 Shareware level: 115. Full game: 135. Shareware can't open any number greater than 120
126 double 8 Number of polygons + 0.4643643. Maximum 2000.
134 polygon ? Sequential list of polygons with data. "Raw" data for editor purposes
? compile ? Only exists if no topology error, otherwise this object is skipped. "Processed" data for when you actually open a level.
? byte 1 0x2B
? int 1 dec: 192356446 (0x0B77205Eh)
? double 8 Number of objects + 0.4643643. Maximum 500.
? object ? Sequential list of objects
? double 8 Number of pictures + 0.2345672. Maximum 5000.
? picture ? Sequential list of pictures

Polygon

Orientation: positive y is down. These polygons are edited by the editor. The editor uses this info to generate Line Objects

Polygon structure
Offset Type Bytes Description
0 int 4 Type: 1=Normal, 2=Inactive, 3=Platform, 4=Path, 5=Autogenerated Border Polygon
4 int 4 Path Subtype: Door=1, Elevator=2, Falling=3, Continuous Oneway=4, Continuous Twoway=5
8 int 4 Platform id: 0-999
12 int 4 Path ID: 0-999
16 int 4 Path's Speed at top
20 int 4 Path's Speed at bottom
24 int 4 Path's Open delay
28 int 4 Path's Close delay
32 int 4 Path's ReOpen delay
36 int 4 Path's ReClose delay
40 int 4 Path's Initially flag: 1=Up, 0=Down
44 int 4 Path's No of platforms
48 int 4 Override flag: 1=Polygon interacts with biker
52 int 4 Style index
56 int 4 Override flag: 1=Border on
60 int 4 Override flag: 1=Border off
64 int 4 Override flag: 1=Whole polygon border colored
68 int 4 Distance
72 int 4 0x00000000
76 byte[300] 300 Used by Csaba as a secret comment section. Not included in normal editor
376 int 4 Number of vertices
380 vertex (double * 2)[?] vertices * 16 X and Y as two doubles.

Compile Object

Compile Object
Offset Type Bytes Description
0 int 4 n: Total number of vertices across all polygons of type 1 + 5 only.
4 line*n 72*n Sequential list of n line objects
4+72*n double 8 ?Probably constant value of 60.0
12+72*n int 4 Random number based on current time. SIGNED integer; crashes if negative number
16+72*n byte 1 1=Beginning of a platform object. 0=No platforms
? platform ? Sequential list of all platform objects, as long as previous byte is 1
? byte 1 0x58h
? double 8 -406.64166666666665 in default shareware levels, but varies - unknown function
? double 8 -74.99166666666666 in default shareware levels, but varies - unknown function
? byte 1 1=Beginning of a path object. 0=No path objects
? path ? Sequential list of all path objects, as long as previous byte is 1

Line Object

Orientation: positive y is up. Each line object is used by the game to draw on the screen and to make lines solid/non-solid.

LineObject (72 bytes)
Offset Type Bytes Description
0 double 8 a: Vertex's x
8 double 8 b: (-1)*Vertex's y
16 double 8 c: Delta x to reach the next vertex
24 double 8 d: (-1)*Delta y to reach the next vertex
32 double 8 e: Delta x to move one unit towards the next vertex - c/g - 1=sqrt(e^2+f^2)
40 double 8 f: Delta y to move one unit towards the next vertex - d/g - 1=sqrt(e^2+f^2)
48 double 8 g: Line length - sqrt(c^2+d^2)
56 int 4 Texture ID (draws to right of the line)
60 int 4 0 if solid, 1 if cannot touch
64 int 4 Distance (border polygons copy base polygon distance)
68 int 4 Do not draw to the right of the line if = 1 (equivalent to texture id of 0), otherwise draw texture. Not sure if actually used by the default editor but that's what editing this value does

4 int 4 Constant: 0x66
8 int 4 0 if no restore points used, 1 if restore points used. If level was completed, the finish-time will have 5 minutes added to the time on replay
12 int 4 Constant: 0x2C. Size of the fileinfo block
16 int 4 Fileinfo block: Corresponding level's random identifier (in lev.compile)
20 int 4 Fileinfo block: 1 if internal level replay, 0 if external level replay
24 int 4 Fileinfo block: If Internal -> Pack id (0-3 for A-D), else 0

Frame Object

Frame (32 bytes)
Offset Type Bytes Description
0 float 4 Bike x position
4 float 4 Bike y position
8 short 2 Left wheel x
10 short 2 Left wheel y
12 short 2 Right wheel x
14 short 2 Right wheel y
16 short 2 Head x
18 short 2 Head y
20 short 2 Rotation of left wheel. Number from 0 to 9999(?) (I think it's rotation modulo 10000 but not 100% sure)
22 short 2 Rotation of right wheel. Number from 0 to 9999(?) (I think it's rotation modulo 10000 but not 100% sure)
24 short 2 Rotation of bike. Number from 0 to 9999(?) (I think it's rotation modulo 10000 but not 100% sure)
26 short 2 Absolute value of the current rotation speed of the back wheel of the bike (based on the turn direction), normalized so that non-rotating is 1000 and max throttle is 2000. Numbers higher than max throttle are capped at 2000 and the number is clockwise/counterclockwise-independent
30 int 4 Number of frames since the back wheel of the bike has touched a polygon. (if you lift backwheel off the ground, the numbers for the subsequent frames will be 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc). 0 if first frame or if the wheel is touching ground. If the wheel was already in the air and you then turn around in the air, you will get something like (0,0,0,56,57,58 etc). This is most likely used for calculating the throttle sound.

Event Object

Unlike in elma1, in elma2, there are only object-touch events for flowers (and I'm guessing switches) if the object is "activated". A flower will have an object-touch event when you finished the level successfully.

A level that starts facing right does not include the autogenerated first turn event

Event (16 bytes)
Offset Type Bytes Description
0 int 4 Frame at which event takes place
4 int 4 event_id. If 0, it's an object-touch event, or else (1-7) it's a sound/motion event
8 int 4 object_id. Array id of touched object. 0xFFFFFFFF if event_id != 0
12 int 4 Always 0?


Sound/Motion Event
event_id Meaning
0 Object-touch event (Bike touches object indicated by object_id - killer causes a death event only)
1 Nothing (error)
2 Death - records time of death. In a replay, it will only play the sound but not abort the replay
3 Right volt
4 Left volt
5 Turn
6 Turn on gas sound
7 Turn off gas sound
8-9 Invalid (probably same as 0)
