TXE file

2020-01-02T20:00:05Z

Minty Meeo: It's actually called a Dolphin Texture File according to plugTexConv.

The <code>TXE</code> file, or Dolphin Texture file, is a very simple image data wrapper only found and used in ''Pikmin''. There are 2 variations of the TXE file, for a MOD file and the other as a standalone file. For easy identification of what format I will be talking about, mTXE is a MOD file TXE.

==Info==
This template create an item for a [[:Category:Navigation boxes|navigation box]] (hence, the name is short for '''N'''avigation '''I'''tem). It wraps the item in a span that stops it from being breaking in different lines on spaces, and automatically adds the bullet point that separates items. For the last item in a row, give the second parameter a value, like "y", in order to not place the final bullet point.

BUN file

2019-01-17T06:02:27Z

Minty Meeo: clarification for File Content Indicators.

'''BUN''' files (short for '''Bundle''' files) are a Binary Large Object (BLOB) archive format used in ''[[Pikmin]]''. '''ANM''' files (likely short for '''Animation Folder''') use the structure of BUN files as well. With minimal metadata, {{unsure|the bundle archive was likely used to reduce load time by packing several files into one}}. The purpose they serve is different from the [[Pikmin Paired ARC+DIR Files|Paired ARC+DIR Files]], however, as all of the files within a bundle are unpacked into RAM as soon as one is loaded, as shown by the [[OpenGl / Dolphin System]].

__TOC__

==File structure==
The bundle file is very simple. There is a header, followed by a repeating struct for every file contained within the BUN. Each struct has a subheader and file contained within it.

Here is <code>/dataDir/bosses/mizu/mizu.anm</code> annotated for reference.

[[File:BUN_and_ANM_file_documentation.png]]
[[File:Minty_Meeo_Documentation_Legend.png]]

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Header
! Offset || Size || Purpose
|-
| 0x00 || 4 || Number of structs
|-
|}

{| class="wikitable"
|+ File entry struct
! Offset || Size || Purpose
|-
| 0x00 || 4 || File content indicator
|-

|-
| 0x0c || 0x08 value || Mock-directory path
|-
| 0x0c + 0x08 value || 0x04 value || Enclosed file
|-
|}

===Mock-directory===
Similar to the [[Pikmin Paired ARC+DIR Files|Paired ARC+DIR Files]], the bundle archive emulates a folder path. When the file is unpacked in-game, it is assumed that whatever code is responsible treats the contents of the bundle files as if they were in the folder path described, starting from the root of the disc.

===File content indicator===
The file content indicator appears to be vestigial in most cases. However, in-game cutscenes use it to know what type of animation file is being loaded, since they only load the first item in an '''ANM''' file, {{unsure|presumably without checking the filename}}. The following filetypes have been observed to have these values assigned to them:
* 0 = [[PCR file|PCR]]
* 1 = [http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/BTI BTI]
* 2 = DCA
* 3 = DCK

==BMDCubed==
This program converts COLLADA (.dae) model files to the Binary MoDel (.bmd) format that first-party Nintendo GameCube and Wii games use.

It currently supports static meshes with 0 bones, and simple skinned meshes. There is an issue with complex skinned meshes not rendering correctly in-game. This issue is being researched.

BMDCubed supports the following vertex attributes:
* Normals
* 2 sets of Vertex Colors
* 8 sets of UV Coordinates

The default materials that are generated for the BMD file make use of textures, texture alpha, and vertex colors.

__TOC__

==SuperBMD==
A library to import and export various 3D model formats into the Binary Model (BMD) format.

This API uses the Open Asset Import Library (AssImp). A list of supported model formats can be found [http://assimp.sourceforge.net/main_features_formats.html here]. Recommended: .dae/.fbx.

This is a fork of SuperBMD that supports generating triangle strips (a more space-efficient way to represent faces in a model) and extracting and applying BMD material data as JSON, maintained by Yoshi2 (RenolY2 on github).

Please report any issues you find here: https://github.com/RenolY2/SuperBMD/issues

New compiled releases (and their source code) are found here: https://github.com/RenolY2/SuperBMD/releases

==Usage==
SuperBMD.exe can be used to convert models to the BMD format and BMD models to the DAE format.

To convert a model, drag it onto the executable or run the program via command line:

<code>SuperBMD.exe <model path></code>

If model path is a BMD, it will be converted to DAE, its textures will be dumped as .PNG and its material data will be dumped as JSON in the same folder as the DAE and the textures.

If model path is a model but not BMD, it will be converted to BMD. By default triangle strips are generated for static meshes but not rigged meshes. See below for more options on this.

==Full usage==
<code>SuperBMD.exe <input path> [output path] [--mat <material path>] [--texheader <texheader path>] [--tristrip (all/static/none)] [--rotate] [--dontFix] [--bdl] [--version]</code>

Arguments in square brackets are optional. If output path is left out it is created from the input path by replacing the extension either with <code>.bmd</code>, <code>.bdl</code> or <code>.dae</code>, depending on input.

* If input path is BMD then the extracted DAE is written to output path. Textures are dumped to the same directory as the DAE.
* If input path is not a BMD, the model is converted into a BMD and written to output path. If output path ends with .bdl and the --bdl option is set, or output path is empty and --bdl is set, the model is converted to BDL.
* If input path is a BMD/BDL and output path is a BMD, behaviour is similar to if the input was not a BMD/BDL.

The <code>--version</code> option outputs the program's version and then exits.

===Any model -> BMD:===
* If material path is set, loads material data from that path (See "Materials" further down in this document)
* If texheader path is set, loads texture header info from that path (See "Texture header info" further down in this document)
* --tristrip none generates no triangle strips. --tristrip static generates triangle strips only for static models (no rig). --tristrip all generates triangle strips for all models (static and rigged), currently triangle strips on rigged models are buggy though. If omitted, the default mode is generating triangle strips only for static models.
* --rotate rotates the model so that Y is up instead of Z. Default is no rotation.
* --dontFix disables (trying to) fix normals on rigged models. This is only relevant for using materials that add shading to the model and has no effect on whether a face is considered to be front or back-facing for culling purposes.
* --bdl is necessary for when you want to create a BDL instead of a BMD..

===BMD -> DAE:===
* If material path is set, write material data to that path. Otherwise, write it in the same place as the created DAE.
* If texheader path is set, write texture header info to that path. Otherwise, write it in the same place as the created DAE.
* None of the other options have an effect.

==Notes==
===Modeling===
* When exporting a model for conversion to BMD, rotate the model about the X axis by -90 degrees. Most modeling programs define the Z axis as the up axis, but Nintendo games use the Y axis instead. Rotating the model ensures that the model is not sideways when imported into a game. Alternatively, set the --rotate option when calling SuperBMD.exe which will rotate the model appropriately without you having to do it.

===Skinning===
* SuperBMD supports both skinned and unskinned models.
* For skinned meshes, make the root of the model's skeleton the child of a dummy object called <code>skeleton_root</code>. SuperBMD uses the name of this dummy object to find the root of the skeleton so that it can process it.
* If a <code>skeleton_root</code> object is not found, then the model will be imported with a single root bone. This is recommended for models intended for maps. If your model

===Vertex Colors===
* SuperBMD supports vertex colors.

===Textures===
* SuperBMD supports models that have no textures. These models will appear white when imported into a game.
* It is recommended that the model's textures be in the same directory as the model being converted. If SuperBMD cannot find the model's textures, it will use a black and white checkerboard image instead.
* Textures must be in BMP, JPG, PNG or TGA format.

===Converting BMD to DAE===
When you drop a BMD on SuperBMD.exe, it will be converted into DAE. When you import the DAE into 3DS Max, in the Import options that appear you need to go into Advanced Options->Units, uncheck "Automatic" and set File units converted to Meters. Otherwise the imported dae will be very big.

===Materials===
* This fork of SuperBMD allows dumping and inserting materials as JSON and it allows additional textures to be loaded without having to apply them in a 3D modelling program. Look at Full Usage above on how to extract and apply material files. While Drag&Drop works, writing bat files is recommended.

* The mat json file will contain one or more materials from the BMD file. When applying materials, the material names are exactly the name of the materials of the model when exported from a 3D modelling program. You do not have to cover every material, SuperBMD will generate material data for the rest. You can also use a default material setup for every material in the model by naming the material in the JSON <code>__MatDefault</code>.

* The <code>Textures</code> section contains the names of the textures used by the material. Usually the first texture is the main texture, the rest are used for graphics effects. When using a <code>__MatDefault</code> material it can be useful to leave the first texture name as <code>null</code> so each material will retain the texture name it originally had.

* Additional textures can be loaded by adding their names in the <code>Textures</code> section of a material. The program will search for these textures in the folder of the material file by appending an extension to the name in this order: <code>.png</code>, <code>.jpg</code>, <code>.tga</code>, <code>.bmp</code>. (Example: If there are two textures <code>Texture.png</code> and <code>Texture.bmp</code>, the PNG texture will be loaded rather than the BMP texture)

* You can modify materials if you know what you are doing. Look on the internet for info on TEV and check the source code of SuperBMD for possible values for some of the enums (When viewing the source code in VS or other good IDEs, check <code>SuperBMD/source/Materials/Material.cs</code>). A recap of all enums and useful info about materials will be available here https://github.com/RenolY2/SuperBMD/wiki when it is added.

===Material presets===
This release has some bat scripts that apply some included materials.

* toonshading: This provides SMS-style toon shading. Known to work with SMS.
* shiny: Based on the toon shading material, this gives the model an interesting shine. Known to work with SMS.
* simpleshading: Creates shadows based on the direction a triangle is facing. Known to work with Pikmin 2, but looks dark in SMS.

These material presets are not always the best and you are encouraged to find other presets by experimenting with material data from models and making new scripts. You can combine options if wanted. For example, you can add the <code>--rotate</code> option from <code>superbmd_rotatemodel.bat</code> to the other bat scripts if you want shaded and rotated models, or you can add the <code>--bdl</code> option from <code>superbmd_createbdl.bat</code> to the other scripts for shaded BDL models.

===Texture header info===
When dumping BMDs to DAE you will find a texheader json file. It contains some data from the BTI headers of the textures stored in the BMD. Of note are the Format (sets the texture format) and the WrapS/WrapT (affects the way UV maps will wrap when going beyond the edges) attributes. They are applied in a similar way to materials, using --texheader to specify the path to such a file. Header data is applied to textures with a matching name. A default header can be specified by setting the name to <code>__TexDefault.</code>

Supported texture formats: I4, I8, IA4, IA8, RGB565, RGB5A3, RGBA32 and CMPR (in other words, all that GC hardware supports except for the color-indexed formats). Supported wrap modes: ClampToEdge, Repeat and MirroredRepeat When using I4 or I8, note that intensity equals alpha.

PikminBMGtool

2019-01-10T03:59:46Z

Minty Meeo: Translated readme.md from Github to Media Wiki style, added link to the tool.

PikminBMGtool was created by Renol/Yoshi2 and can be found on his [https://github.com/RenolY2/pikminBMG Github Repository].

__TOC__

==Intro==
pikminBMGtool.py v0.6.1 by Yoshi2 A tool for converting Pikmin 2 BMG files to text (JSON) and from text (JSON) to BMG.

==Installation advice==
Requires Python 3 (Recommended: version 3.6 or newer) On Windows, when installing Python make sure you have "Add Python to PATH" option enabled at the start of the installation so that the bat files can work.

==Usage==
===Drag & Drop===
dumpBmg.bat, packBmg.bat and packBmglatin1.bat are included to allow for simple drag and drop. dumpBmg dumps a bmg to text, packBmg packs a text file to BMG with shift-jis encoding, packBmg_latin1 packs a text file to BMG with latin-1 encoding.

===Command Line===
Example use in command line:
<pre>
python .\pikminBMGtool.py DUMP pikmin2.bmg pikmin2_messages.txt
python .\pikminBMGtool.py PACK pikmin2_messages.txt pikmin2.bmg

python .\pikminBMGtool.py PACK --encoding shift-jis pikmin2_messages.txt pikmin2.bmg
python .\pikminBMGtool.py PACK --encoding latin-1 pikmin2_messages.txt pikmin2.bmg
</pre>

If the --encoding option is left out, the encoding for the created bmg defaults to shift-jis, which is used for the Japanese and English bmg files. latin-1 is used by the remaining languages (German, French, Italian, ...).

For the input txt file, the tool attempts to detect the encoding by the BOM (Byte Order Mark) and otherwise defaults to utf-8. This way the following encodings are supported: utf-8, utf-8-bom (used by Windows Notepad), utf-16 and utf-32.

==Information about BMG==
BMG files are found in mesRes.szs archives in the message folder in the root of Pikmin 2's file system. Extract and repack them with a tool that supports yaz0-compressed RARC archives, e.g. Lunaboy's RARC tools.

When dumping a BMG file to text you receive a JSON text file. Each entry is a message that has an identification number, a secondary number that is 0 most of the time except for some treasure names, attributes that are full of zeros most of the time, and the text itself.

New lines can be added to the text which will be intepreted as line breaks. Values inside { } are special sequences that cause special effects ingame, such as changing color, text size or adding button graphics.

{1a05020000} signals end of a message page, used in Pikmin 2 for messages in which you press a button to close it or to continue to the next part of a message.

PikBinGen

Minty Meeo: Translated readme.md from Github to Media Wiki style, added link to the tool.

PikBinGen was created by Renol/Yoshi2 and can be found on his [https://github.com/RenolY2/PikBinGen Github Repository].

__TOC__

==PikBinGen==
Tool for convertsion between Pikmin 1 binary gen files and (JSON formatted) text files.

==Requirements==
* newest version of Python 3

Recommended: Python 3.6.6 https://www.python.org/downloads/

When installing it on Windows, make sure you check "Add Python to PATH" so that the included .bat files will work properly.

==Usage==
===Drag & Drop===
if you are on Windows, the provided gen_to_txt.bat and txt_to_gen.bat files allow simply dropping a file on them to convert it. Drop a .gen file on gen_to_txt.bat to convert it to .json, drop the converted .json file on txt_to_gen.bat to convert it back to .gen. As an example, "default.gen" will be converted to "default.json" by gen_to_txt and "default.json" will be converted to "default.gen" by txt_to_gen. Make backups of the original gen files if you want to keep them.

===Command line usage===
<pre>
python pikminBinaryGen.py [-h] [--gen2txt] [--txt2gen] input [output]

positional arguments:
input Filepath to the file that should be converted
output Filepath to which the result of the conversion will be written

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--gen2txt If set, converts a .gen file to a json text file.
--txt2gen If set, converts a json text file to .gen
</pre>

===About the JSON Structure===
A lot about the gen format is unknown so the json text file contains some placeholder/unclear field names. Do you know the purpose of some fields? Open an issue about that and if I can confirm it then I will add better names to the tool.

Keep an eye out for this page [[Pikmin_gen_codes]] (and add your own discoveries if you have any)

==FAQ==
* Q: How can I see where I put my objects without starting the game?
* A: I uploaded all the models of Pikmin 1 courses as texture-less OBJs here, ripped straight from the mod files: https://mega.nz/#!edJ2yLLB!HGOsQh47yW--TtZg-bw_W90HKUC2_c6tmm3Ht7PjKO4 You can load them into my Pikmin 2 Routes editor which renders obj files top-down, or load it into any 3D modelling program you prefer, to figure out coordinates for objects. The routes editor can be found here: https://github.com/RenolY2/pikmin-tools/releases

==How to update==
The field names are subject to change in future versions of the tool. When they change, text files created with older versions of the tool might not work with newer versions of the tool. If that happens, convert your text file to gen with the last version of the tool that still worked, then convert it back to text with the newest version.

Obj2grid

2019-01-10T03:30:46Z

Minty Meeo: Translated readme.md from Github to Media Wiki style, added link to the tool.

Obj2grid was created by Renol/Yoshi2 and can be found on his [https://github.com/RenolY2/obj2grid Github Repository].

__TOC__

==obj2grid==
obj2grid is a command line tool that converts Wavefront OBJ files to Pikmin 2 grid.bin (collision) and mapcode.bin (footstep sounds) files, and converts Pikmin 2 grid.bin files back into Wavefront OBJ.

==Requirements==
This tool requires Python 3. Newer = better (at the moment the newest version is 3.6 or so) When installing Python on Windows, make sure you check the box that says "Add Python to PATH" if you want to make use of the included .bat files.

==How To==
The .obj model file you want to convert needs to be triangulated (i.e. all faces are triangles and have exactly 3 vertices). If it isn't triangulated, obj2grid will throw an error.

For a quick set-up on Windows, drag your .obj file onto the included make_collision.bat which will create a grid.bin and a mapcode.bin out of your .obj file in the folder of the .obj file. In a similar way, drag a grid.bin file onto make_obj.bat to turn Pikmin 2 collision back into .obj.

===Command line usage:===
<pre>
python obj2grid.py [-h] [--cell_size CELL_SIZE] [--grid2obj] [--flipyz]
[--target_rarc TARGET_RARC]
input [output_grid] [output_mapcode]

positional arguments:
input Filepath of the wavefront .obj file that will be
converted into collision. If --grid2obj is set,
filepath of the grid.bin to be converted into .obj. If
input is a RARC archive (texts.szs/texts.arc) then the
grid.bin will be extracted from it.
output_grid Output path of the created collision file. If
--grid2obj is set, output path of the created obj file
output_mapcode Output path of the created mapcode file

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--cell_size CELL_SIZE
Size of cells in grid structure. Bigger can result in
smaller file but lower ingame performance
--grid2obj Use this option to create an OBJ file out of a
grid.bin file
--flipyz If option is set, the Y and Z axis are swapped.
--target_rarc TARGET_RARC
Target RARC archive (texts.szs, texts.arc) into which
grid.bin and mapcode.bin will be written. The archive
needs to exist already.
</pre>

===Examples===
<code>python obj2grid.py --cell_size 100 MyCustomCollision.obj MyPikminGrid.bin MyPikminMapcode.bin</code>

<code>python obj2grid.py MyCustomCollision.obj --target_rarc "C:\Modding\Pikmin 2\user\Kando\map\tutorial\texts.szs"</code>

<code>python obj2grid.py --grid2obj MyPikminGrid.bin MyCollision.obj</code>

Note: you can use absolute file paths (i.e. ones starting with C:\ or C:/) so that your finished collision is put directly into the folder you want them in, see second example above.

Btk-conv

2019-01-10T03:24:59Z

Minty Meeo: Translated readme.md from Github to Media Wiki style, added link to the tool.

BTK-conv was created by Renol/Yoshi2 and can be found on his [https://github.com/RenolY2/btk-conv Github Repository].

__TOC__

==BTK-conv==
BTK-conv is a converter between the BTK format and JSON formatted text files. BTK is used for texture animations (by transformation) in some Nintendo games on the GC, e.g. Super Mario Sunshine and Pikmin 2.

==Requirements==
* Newest version of Python 3
The newest version as of the making of this file is 3.6.4: https://www.python.org/downloads/
When installing it on Windows, make sure you check "Add Python to PATH" so that the included .bat files will work properly.

==Usage==
===Drag & Drop===
If you are on Windows, the provided btkconvert.bat file allows simply dropping a file on it to convert it. BTK files will be converted to JSON, and JSON will be converted to BTK. The bat file is set up so that floating point values are rounded to 6 digits after the decimal point and can be modified if more or less precision is wanted.

===Command line usage===
<pre>
python ./btk-conv.py [-h] [--ndigits NDIGITS] input [output]

positional arguments:
input Path to btk or json-formatted text file.
output Path to which the converted file should be written. If
input was a BTK, writes a json file. If input was a json
file, writes a BTK.If left out, output defaults to
<input>.json or <input>.btk.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--ndigits NDIGITS The amount of digits after the decimal point to which
values should be rounded when converting btk to json. -1
for no rounding.
</pre>

===About the JSON structure===
====Header:====
* loop mode: Effect unknown but might affect how the animation loops
* angle scale: Effect unknown
* duration: How long the animation plays, unit unknown
* unknown: Some sort of address? Often 0x801514a8, sometimes zero

====Animations:====
* material name: Name of the material to which the animation is applied. Name needs to match a material name from the BMD model to which the BTK belongs (when you make custom BMDs, material name in the BMD will be what the material name you are using in the 3d modelling program is)
* material index: Purpose unknown, but when there are two animations with the same material name, one animation has the index 0 and the other has the index 1 (Might apply to more than two too)
* center: Center coordinates in the UVW map?
* scale uvw: Coordinates are scaled by these values. 1.0 for all three for neutral scale.
* rotation uvw: Rotation of coordinates in degrees. Goes from -180 to 180. 0.0 for all three values for neutral.
* translation u, v, w: Moves coordinates (Allows for scrolling textures). 4 values per entry. First value is time at which the translation happens (compare with duration from above). Second is position to which the coordinates are moved. Third and fourth are unknown, but might affect interpolation or speed.

===Tips===
* Having trouble making animations? Take existing BTKs, change the material name of the animation to one from your model and experiment with it!

Minty Ramblings

2019-01-09T16:09:55Z

Minty Meeo:

The ramblings and ravings of a madman

__TOC__

==Cutscenes==
Despite CIN files requiring an Animation Manager to be loaded alongside an Animation Bundle, they are not actually used.

Cutscenes will always load the first DCA or DCK file in an Animation Bundle. They use the File Content Indicator to tell what type of animation is being loaded. An improper File Content Indicator results in a crash. This is the only observed usage of the File Content Indicator.

Models can load without animations and animation managers in a CIN file.

DSK files are pretty easy to understand

There are "ANM" sections, and "TABLE" sections

"ANM" sections contain really finnicky float declarations that often don't cooperate when added to or removed from.

"TABLE" sections point specific parameters to indexes of the ANM section
* The first value has an unknown purpose
* The second value is the index value
* The third value has an unknown purpose
cam_pos_y 4 1 0

In the <SCENE_KEY_ANM_INFO> section, I've only observed the numcameras argument actually functioning at all. Removing everything else is fine.

In the <KEY_CAMERA_TABLE> section, cam_pos values are the position of the camera in a scene, and the cam_lat values are the point in space that the camera is focusing on.

===Cutscene Translation Index===
There's a table inside the game somewhere that controls how cutscenes are loaded based on a few factors. The debugger, specifically JPN v1.01, details it a bunch. Notable examples include how every landing cutscene has the same "cutscene ID", but the Cutscene Translation Index takes that ID and the current stage ID, then loads a files form a specific demo folder in the cinemas folder.

==record.gst and test.card==
I have no bloody clue what this thing does. It is loaded from the filesystem every time you land in a stage. I think it has something to do with cutscenes, but it's beyond me. I've tried deleting it. I've tried filling it with garbage data. Nothing. It does bloody nothing every time. WHAT ARE YOU???
-Note by Ambrosia- The first 6 bytes spell out pikmin. If you jump 26 bytes ahead it then says `A game by EAD (c) 2001`

Everything I just said for record.gst mostly applies to test.card. The only difference being I've literally never seen test.card used. I can't find any strings to load it in the DOL, so it's probably unused. The weird thing is, I thought it would look similar to the savedata for Pikmin 1. However, I've looked at it and they're just about nothing alike. Could this be an old version of the save data?? :thinking:

==Parameters==
The function of parameters is to replace default values. As such, there are default values stored somewhere in the primordial soup of values stored in the DOL. It's much easier to find them in RAM during gameplay. If a parameter file is loaded, it's filepath is found near its values in RAM. If not, the filepath is gone. :thinking:

<code>prefs.bin</code> and <code>wave.bin</code> are more than likely unused parameter files.

I think prefs.bin might be an early version of either <code>key.bin</code> or <code>aiconst.bin</code>

wave.bin I have no clue.

==Courses vs Stages==
A COURSE is a 3D model with routes and collision.

A STAGE is a combination of a course, GEN Files, and a Stage INI file which contains dynamic GEN definitions, lighting, and navi start positions.

STAGES are defined in the <code>stages.ini</code> file in the stages folder.

==PCR files==
Ask the Luigi's Mansion dudes I dunno about these yet. Apparently they're parameters for particle effects.

==H4M Files==
Hudson Soft made this. Frick you Hudson Soft.

"Yet Another Gamecube Documentation" has this to say about it
"a proprietary Movie Format found on some Gamecube Game DVDs. Probably related to the HVQ (Hirarchical Vector Quantization) format developed by Hudson. "

I looked at H4M files once and regretted it. Here's my guess at the header

<div><source>
H4M Header
0x10 Data File Magic (HVQM4 1.3 )
0x04 Int ?
0x04 String ?
0x04 Int Video length in seconds
0x04 Int ?
0x04 Int One less than Video Length?
</div></source>

There's a tool online that can apparently decode the audio of H4M files.

==Cool Animations==
All Pikmin and Olimar use the same animation bundle called <code>bluModel.anm.anm</code>

==.H files==
There are a few .H files left around the disc. All of them are leftovers from development. Half of them are plaintext BTI files, while the other half are enumerated bone joints for MOD files.

==Finding things in RAM==
If you ever need to find a file opened in RAM, just search for the filename. It's usually right next to the data.
When parameter files are not opened to replace parameter values, the memory address with the parameters stays roughly the same, minus the string with the filepath. This is how I determined the DOL embedded parameter values.

==Summary of DataDir folders==
I found this old post of mine in the Hocotate Hacker chat history, and thought it'd be good to preserve it.
<source>
2d_data Contains several unused image files. TXE files are very rare.
archives Contains Paired ARC+DIR Files archives. It's best to disable them
bosses Contains parameters, models, animations, and animation managers for every boss
camera Contains three versions of the camera parameters. camepara.bin is used.
cinemas Contains resources used in in-game cutscenes, from models, to animations, to file pointers.
courses Contains the 3D models for every area of the game. Some testing maps, too.
effects Contains particle effects, Onion stuff, and mysterious PCR files
ghost Contains a file we don't understand, but the game frequently loads
intro Contains Nintendo logo image and course name images
MovieData Contains pre-rendered video in a format we can't really decompile. Maybe someday.
objects Contains models, animations, animation managers for miscellaneous objects. Pellets, weeds, ship parts, etc.
parms Contains general parameter files. Largely understood and documented in The Spreadsheet
pikis Contains models, animations, and animation managers for pikmin, olimar, and stages of maturity of pikmin.
savedata Contains a file we don't understand. Suspected to be unused. Editing gives no results.
screen Contains textures and layouts for 2D menus. Available in many languages.
Shapes Contains miscellaneous 3D models like the cursor and some stuff used in debugger
SndData Contains both sequenced and streamed audio.
Stages Contains GEN files, lighting files, stage resource pointers, and the all important "stages.ini"
tekikeys Contains animation managers for all enemies
tekipara Contains parameters for all enemies. Mostly understood and documented in The Spreadsheet
tekis Contains animations and models for all enemies
testdata Contains some leftover files. Early models for a few ship parts/enemies, along with a mysterious "1.act" file.
</source>

==Pikmin Entities in Pikmin 2==
When located in RAM, the entities for the Pikmin are 0x2C8 bytes long. You can find stuff like the Pikmin color, happa level, and lots of pointers presumably to stuff like the model, animations, n' stuff.

Minty Meeo: Added alternate versions found in JPN Demo release, plus general cleanup.

This is a list of [[AST file]]s inside the filesystem of ''Pikmin 2''. They can be found in <code>/AudioRes/Stream</code>.

Files identical to the ones found in the Final Mix are omitted for clarity.

==Notes==
JPN Demo is the only version to use the Demo Mix. All [[Pikmin_2|other releases]] use the Final Mix.

Various naming elements give clues to the contents of an AST file.
* The prefix ff_ tends to denote fanfares.
* The prefixes c and vs typically denote Challenge Mode and 2-Player Battle respectively.
* The letter u in a filename typically denotes tracks used underground.
* The letters o and l typically denote Olimar and Louie respectively.
* The suffixes 32 and 44 tell the sample rate of a track.

Minty Meeo: Added version differences with streamable files!

This is a list of [[STX file]]s inside the disc in ''Pikmin''. They can be found in <code>/dataDir/SndData</code>.

Files identical to the ones found in the Revision 1 Mix are omitted for clarity.

JPN Demo, JPN v1.01, and PAL Demo all use the Revision 1 Mix.

JPN v1.02, USA Demo, USA v1.00, and USA v1.01 all use the Revision 2 Mix.

PAL v1.00 uses the PAL Mix, which borrows musical cues from the Revision 2 Mix.
