NOTES: MDL0 Resource Thread (reformatted)

[DarkPikachu]

Global-Header:
the global header identifies the MDL0 and determines the version:

magic = string(4)
str_tbl = bu32()
version = bu32()
brres_offset = bs32()

Lists:
the lists define what's what in the MDL0: (based on the version)
if version > 7: Definitions = bu32()
if version > 7: Bones = bu32()
if version > 7: Vertices = bu32()
if version > 7: Normals = bu32()
if version > 7: Colors = bu32()
if version > 7: UV's = bu32()
if version > 9: Unknown1 = bu32()
if version > 9: Unknown2 = bu32()
if version > 7: Materials = bu32()
if version > 7: Nodes = bu32()
if version > 7: Objects = bu32()
if version > 7: Textures = bu32()
if version > 7: Pallets = bu32()
if version > 10: Unknown3 = bu32()
^links will take you to the data sections below.

Local-Header:
the local header defines the MDL0 structure.

Name_Offset = bu32()
properties = bu32()
properties_length = bu32()
unknown1 (0) = bu32()
unknown2 (0) = bu32()
Num_Verts = bu32()
Num_Faces = bu32()
unknown3 (0) = bu32()
Num_Links = bu32()
unknown4 (0x01010000) = bu32()
properties_length = bu32() (copy??)
MinX = bf32()
MinY = bf32()
MinZ = bf32()
MaxX = bf32()
MaxY = bf32()
MaxZ = bf32()

this is just a re-structure and a touch-up ;)

-added unknown data structures
-added bookmarks to data sections (no need to scroll)

everything works as it should ;D

TODO:
-sub data section bookmarks (go to a selected section from a section)
-move this thread to Programming/Notes/


To viewers:
even though this thread has every needed post (for current MDL0 standards),
I still ask that you don't post anything here.
(I want this thread to be like a wiki for programmers, but better) XD

if you have any suggestions, ideas, updates, etc. for me,
I'm always open to a PM, so feel free to PM me. :D
