In 3D Pinball, the file signature is "PARTOUT(4.0)RESOURCE". The rest is
|
|
filled with 0.
|
|
|
|
//-- Body --//
|
|
|
|
The body is constitued of groups. Every group begins with a byte that tells
|
|
how many entries are in the group.
|
|
|
|
Every entry begins with a byte that specifies the type of the entry. A DWORD that
|
|
tells the size of the coming data follows the byte. Then there's some data for the
|
|
entry. However, if the type is 0, the type byte is followed by a short value,
|
|
and that's all.

-- table_size
|
|
Entry type 10 contains 2 16-bit integers: first is width, second is height.
|
|
|
|
-- table_objects
|
|
In entry type 10, the first integer is unknown, but then comes a series of
|
|
16-bits integer pairs. Every pair represents an object of the table. The
|
|
first integer is the type of object, and the second is the number of
|
|
a group/resource in this data file.

//-- Information --//
|
|
|
|
There's an article of the format at http://rewiki.regengedanken.de/.
|
|
I haven't read it completely, but some informations helped me a bit.
|
|
|
|
Another thing: There's nearly nothing about hacking the game on the web (even
|
|
though the Space Cadet game bundled with Windows is very popular).
|
|
What I've only seen when doing a (Google) web search is the 'hidden test'
|
|
cheat code. [as of 2017 or even less]
