Cyrem has alerted me to a bug with saving, where I wasn't handling backslashes in strings properly. I'll patch this later (hopefully today), am spending time with the gf :)

A request for future update: Add a search function (which can be activated by ctrl+f or something), if that isn't too much to ask.

Thank you for this tool. Perhaps we can finally change the actual colours of bricks? I had a look in MENUDATAPIECEDBLPIECELO.MDB and several colours have the following (obviously with different names and values):


k_27 // Material

"ltgray"

{

k_29 // Diffuse Color

173

173

173

255

k_28 // Ambient Color

173

173

173

255

}

Would changing the values change the colour of light grey bricks in this instance? It looks like an RGB colour code to me. I can't test it out right now.

Yup, I can confirm this does indeed change the brick colors. RGBA, values ranging from 0-255. You'll probably want to modify both LPIECELO.MDB and LPIECEHI.MDB though.

Thank you, so very, very much.

Have uploaded v1.1.

 

@Mumboking: drag-and-drop is now supported. I've also added support for "Open with..."

@Cyrem: string handling has now been fixed.

@Segatendo: no search function yet, but I will make sure it arrives in a future update.

v1.2 is here with syntax highlighting :D

 

EDIT: balls, broke drag-and-drop. I'll investigate in a bit.

That's not the only thing that's broken...

"LR1BinaryEditor has stopped working." whenever I click the load button.

I've added an error logger to the latest build of v1.2; can you download it, and send me the contents of any error log files it creates?

Where would the log file be? I don't see one appearing.

It'll either be in the directory that the program is, or wherever you ran it from (if you used a shortcut, for example). It'll only make them if you get the "An error of type `<blah>` has occurred with the message: <blah>" popup.

.___. Damnit. Right, I'll release another build today with syntax highlighting taken out AGAIN, while I look for a more stable alternative.

Okay I might have found a viable alternative library for syntax highlighting. Once I've integrated it, I'll send a private build to mumboking and segatendo, and if that all goes well then I'll put it here.

Triple post... Sorry!

Just thought I'd go over the file extensions that are still marked as unknown, because I haven't seen them discussed elsewhere.

 

BDB = (still unknown)

CMB = Chassises

EVB = Events

FDB = Font Database

GCB = Character Builder Parts

HZB = Hazzards

MSB = (Menu functionality? + What images to use)

PCB = Body Parts

TGB = ?!?

TIB = Timer (purpose? No idea)

TRB = ? (Although, for each track there is are files called ENVIRON, supposedly meaning environment, and MAINTRIG, which triggers some main things (like, I see "startfin" in there))

I'm pretty sure that the EVB file is for the sound of every event, and not the actual script of the event.

 

EDIT:

It contains most of the race track sounds, and it connects the finish line (or the checkpoints) to it's function.
