RE: [hlcoders] rmf format
Worldcraft uses MFC's CObject serialization system to read and write RMF files. The RMF file holds runtime class type information so that the objects can be automatically constructed as the file is read. After each runtime class block are the raw data members of each object. There's no metadata describing the data fields, so the format is very sensitive to changes in file layout, meaning Worldcraft typically crashes if something is wrong with the data. There is a header block that identifies the file as an RMF and has a format version number. The differences in the formats are all described by the parsing code, but we don't have a separate document that describes them. I'd recommend using the MAP file format if at all possible to accomplish your goals. :) -- David -Original Message- From: Jeff Fearn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 5:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] rmf format Does anyone know the file layout for worldcrafts rmf format? Also does anyone know the differences between the file layouts for wc2 map files and wc3 map files?

Re: [hlcoders] rmf format
Is there a way to encrypt a compiled map or CRC it so that it can only be run on a specific server without the use of a server-side (3rd party) DLL? For example, I have heard that the nao_ maps on GirlPower2 and some of the newer maps for TheSillyZone (both TFC Servers) have this so that the maps cannot be run on other servers. If this is possible, how so? - Original Message - From: Jeff Fearn [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 9:23 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] rmf format Worldcraft uses MFC's CObject serialization system to read and write RMF files.
