IESDP unknowns

aVENGER · July 2012

As you may know, the Infinity Engine Structures Description Project (IESDP) is a modding community project dedicated to documenting the inner workings of the Infinity Engine. Nowadays, the IESDP has become fairly comprehensive, however there are still a few aspects of the IE that are unknown to the modders.

Given their access to the source code, I was wondering if the BGEE developers might be able to fill in some blanks for us, provided that this wouldn't violate your agreement with Bioware/WotC? In particular, the ARE file format still has many unknowns.

Cuv · July 2012

Yes please!!!!

NWN_babaYaga · July 2012

That seems to be the key info to a fully functional new area to me.

ScottBrooks · July 2012

I'll look into if we can get this information.

AndreaColombo · July 2012

If the devs could do this, it would be positively awesome (and I'm saying it despite not being a modder)!

Wisp · July 2012

Frankly, I would not be terribly surprised if most of the remaining unknowns were to turn out to be unused marginal added when Bioware first drafted the file formats, in case they wanted to add more features down the road. But anything that could be shared would be just super :)

I think those are the ones

Thanks!

Aha! Thank you very much!

Does anyone know who is maintaining Near Infinity now that Jon has quit working on it? Would be nice to get an updated version with all this new information.

Wisp · July 2012

@devSin's been doing most of the work these past few years. I've forked the thing too, but I have a lot of stuff to do (and detest working with Java).

Cuv · July 2012

Perhaps I can drag Jon out of retirement. Might write him about it. BG:EE brought me out:-)

devSin · July 2012

This is the sort of stuff dreams are made of.

But yeah, the likelihood of me updating Near Infinity to make sure everything fits (it's surprising, though, just how much we already knew) is very, very low.

If I can request, PRO, VVC, and WED are the formats where we really have to guess at some of the flags and fields (I also don't think we have all the WFX format nailed down, not that it was ever used for anything). Nobody really cares about the internal VEF (?) format.

Ascension64 · July 2012

That is fantastic, thanks!

Unless @devSin is also known as Sam, it looks like Sam has been updating NI too in the past few years: link. So, unless devSin is Sam, maybe Sam could update NI in light of the information provided by @ScottBrooks.

@devSin - yeah, the internal VEF format may not be getting much love, but since you have the possibility to know what it does, why wouldn't you? ;-) This is the modders' chance to know every square millimiter of the IE, which may come in handy in the future even if now it's not being used by anyone - I say seize it!

Cuv · July 2012

@AndreaColombo Sam and @devSin are different people:-) Since devSin has already been pinged here, I wrote Fred Richardson and asked him to take a look. Talked to him yesterday, so I know he will get my email. He was in charge of NI for a bit too at Pocket Plane. Will also PM Sam at SHS when I get the chance.

Howdy, Stranger!
