Vx, Vy, Vz - mirror direction (like [-1 0 0] or [0 1 0] or [0 0 -1])
Cm - mirror plane coordinate in direction axis (See this for more information)
Flags:
-1 - default for reflective surfaces; four stars, camera stops outside of cull area and tracks player remotely
0 - uses player viewpoint for realtime reflections
1 - normal reflection; forces a close camera mode
2 - no reflection; camera stops outside of cull area and tracks player remotely
4
8 - No weather effect (rain), shiney floor when wet
9 - (is listed in the file) no reflection
16 - no reflection

Bear in mind a lot of this is probably in the binary IPLs which wil make it ever so fun to try to find them.

[EDIT]We need a wiki for this.

[Hammer83]

In GTA3 and GTAVC, all pick entries were ignored by the game when loading the IPL. Not sure about SA.

About the the three numbers here - 0,0,4 - the first number is not always '0'. It determines the angle of orientation that the player is placed at when entering/has left the interior. It took me ages to realise this when I got the interior of SFPD working in game. If you look at most entries, they are multiples of 90 degrees.

I'm pretty sure that the 'text to display' entry is also used as an internal 'interior name ID' too. That name is almost always used in other files, particularly main.scm and Audiozon.IPL, to determine which interior a player is in.

Unless we're talking about the binary ipl's, I thought instances didn't have scale values anymore? Should be ID, Name, X, Y, Z, RotationX, RotationY, RotationZ, RotationW, LOD Flag. I think.

My clause devoted to objects on a map:

[nubbel]

ENEX
\data\maps\interior\savehous.ipl:

CODE

markerX, markerY, markerZ, ?(0), ?(0.5), ?(2), ?(8), setbackX, setbackY, setbackZ, ANGEL, SOURCE_INT, TARGET_INT, INT_IDENTIFIER, ?(12), ?(2), ?(0), ?(24)

markerX, markerY, markerZ = position of the marker
setbackX, setbackY, setbackZ = position you will be put at if you leave the interior the marker points at
ANGEL = ...
SOURCE_INT = the interior ID the marker is in
TARGET_INT = the target interior ID the marker points at
INT_IDENTIFIER = seems not only to be a name

Example:

CODE

1292.53, -785.596, 1088.40, 0, 0.5, 2, 8, 1291.727, -787.9291, 1089.938, 270, 5, 4, "CHANGER", 12, 2, 0, 24

Meh, why did I miss this post? Anyway, have been looking at the enex sections yesterday, to include them in my map viewer, and are still confused. I assumed the second location is the target it teleports you to, but that's only true for a few (like the dam) it seems, so how is it really done? How does the game know where to put you after you entered a marker?

My format guess:

X1, Y1, Z1, ROT, F1, F2, C8, X2, Y2, Z2, F3, INT_FROM, INT_TO, NAME, I1, I2, TIME_ON, TIME_OFF

XYZ1 - entrance location
ROT - rotation in radians (highest value is pi)
F1, F2 - unknown floats, presumably the door offset or something similar
C8 - constant 8
XYZ2 - exit location
F3 - no idea, can be very huge, definitely no angle (at least not for all of them)
INT_FROM, INT_TO - origin and target interior, although the second one can also be 4100, 4102 or 5126
NAME - interior name, used to find the counterpart and to identify via mission script
I1, I2 - unknown integer flags
TIME_ON, TIME_OFF - activation and deactivation hour, like in tobj section

---

Edit: It seems they are matched by name. Example:

QUOTE (sfe.ipl - entrance to save house)

-2213.54, 720.845, 48.4262, 0, 2, 1.14844, 8, -2214.06, 725.036, 48.4262, 36, 0, 4, "SVSFSM", 0, 2, 0, 24

QUOTE (savehous.ipl - inside the save house)

2308.79, -1212.88, 1048.03, 0, 1.6, 0.696777, 8, 2308.79, -1210.88, 1048.03, 0, 6, 0, "SVSFSM", 12, 0, 0, 24

Flags I1 and I2 might solve the riddle.

ooh cool thsi is really usefull for mapping now

would it be possible to make a mp3 player or ipod for cj using this code

so like make a mod for it and set it as sum sorta pickup then when its picke dp the music starts playing and u can switch songs liek changed a radio station or would that be mainly scm work?

Looks like the value in front of the name is the target interior, and the value after the name the interior the marker is located in.


Edit: Renamed and moved to maps forum.

Just a gut feeling but I think one of the parameters may be used to determine whether or not peds are allowed in the interior and if so how many (max) there should be - unless of course thats all done with cullzones, but this theory would make more efficient sense code-wise.

I cant find anything else anywhere that looks likely to determine this unless Im looking in totally the wrong places?

[RainingAcid]

Wow, neat! So, will this help us understand the IPL format and hopefully get an idea of making a SA mapper?

Ok, where did my post go, guys? It's ok, it was but 2 words long and didnt need to remain since SpaceEinstien had a chance to put the uniquie stunt under jump into his layout up top. If it was just to save some space since the information belongs there anyway, then I applaud. But I'm left in hopes that it wasn't a personal thing against me . Cheers?

I have been playing around with enex/end markers and the more I play with them, the funkier the effects are. Everytime I mess with them I end up first to another place, then upon exit I am sent to a fully detailed regular outside, some settings send me back to my start, others a third destination. The funny thing is, since I really cant say it after where I took the previous sentance haha is that though the final destination looks and behaves normal at ground level, the sky becomes white with the grey in areas, much like ghost world I guess? Much brighter...

It has to do with the 0's I'm sure of it, and the number that floats around in the teens and below. I think there is an order to many of them in regarss to creating new ones that work while being sure the original markers remain to function properly. Still looking into this, and going to talk with nubble about it some more at the spot.

That actually makes sense, except ever notice that the peds always seem to be at the same place in interiors? I'll probably be working on putting my interior ingame for tests before I really get into it, I'll let you know. Or try.

Actually,I have read here and have been told about it a couple of times that moo mapper is useable but takes a lot of work moving files and renaming folders or something, I cannot help you with that. And as far as a program like moo mapper for SA, I believe that it s now fully possible to write one and has been, however if all of the markers (enex) and possibly unique stunts (Jump) entries are figured out, then many more functions will become relelvent. Like spawning a marker directly from your mapper by capturing the coords values or placing a unique stunt bonus within an IPL instead of writing it into the scm, which in turn would make it mappable.

I never noticed that, but it does throw some light on some other work I was doing with interiors - if you look through main.scm theres a thread (called 'INTMAN' IIRC) that handles most of the interiors.

That thread looks for the text name of the interior (from the IPL file) and loads anims etc accordingly then jumps to relevant routines, like shopping, dancing etc. The only check it seems to perform on the interior itself is whether it is numbered '0' (outside, i.e. you're not actually in the interior) or '-1' (dunno). It loads CUSTOMER_PANIC which makes the peds cower and duck for cover if you get aggressive in the interior, but nowhere does the thread actually load or request the peds themselves - in fact, no thread does, which led me to think that its one of the params in the IPL file that allows a number of peds to 'wander' or 'spawn' in the interior in the same they appear outside.

I could do with figuring this bit out but hit nothing so far - other than that, I managed to make a perfect Rusty Browns store which works exactly like the other fast food places, except theres no peds in there

EDIT: just a hunch, I think the '-1' setting I mentioned there indicates that the interior is used for cutscenes or special cases where peds should not appear at all - i.e. its an override.

Sorry, that was me. It didn't contribute anything, just stating the obvious, and since this is a documentation topic I don't want it to get spammed up.

As always, peds in interiors are defined via path entries in ipl files (ie. compiled path data in nodes*.dat). I believe the last value in inst lines has something to do with the hierarchical LOD objects, with -1 meaning it's already the highest level. Just an unconfirmed guess though.

[spaceeinstein]

Can some of the parameters be the weather? Check the two unused warehouses. One of the warehouse loads up a blue sky, the other a black sky. It's 1 AM here so I'll look into it tomorrow.

[steve-m]

I thought that too first, but that's what they have the tcyc sections for, so that wouldn't make sense.

BTW, I found out how LOD hierarchies in SA work, will post about that later (have to do some testing first).

I've been trying out with Derty's ''map'' and I got it to work to put hidden interiors in as an arrow, I've got a file for ammunation (2 floors), Unused Safehouse and B-Dup's crack Palace.

inst
11110, dert_dog, 0, 2447.3, -1716.2, 12.7, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1
end
cull
end
path
end
grge
end
enex
2448.065918, -1715.455078, 13.713390, 0, 1.4, 1.4, 8, 315.750600, -143.658500, 999.6016, 90, 0, 4, "AMMUN4", 0, 2, 0, 24
end
pick
end
cars
end
jump
end
tcyc
end
auzo
end
mult

Btw, where are the coordinates where you come out the interior since with this you can go in good but when you go out you fall from the sky where the normal arrow is.

That, for one, does the exact same thng it did before you *ahem* "changed" it. That has no change in effect. It shoots you to cj's steps, then 10,000 feet up. Unless I'm missing something.

Um, it also sets them all out of whack. Like, you leave CJ's house on load and exit the old man with the gun's crib...

Dude Steve, it's cool.

You are missing something this teleport you to the ammunation with 2 floors because of thse coordinates: 315.750600, -143.658500, 999.6016
