This page describes the format of the object generator files in Pikmin. These files have the file ending .gen. Generators handle the spawning of objects, such as pellets or enemies, in the levels. Each such object is spawned by a generator.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | char[4] | a 4 byte string saying v1.0, presumably the version of the format or the version of the file |
| 0x4 | float | unknown[unsure] |
| 0x8 | float | unknown[unsure] |
| 0xC | float | unknown[unsure] |
| 0x10 | float | unknown[unsure] |
| 0x14 | uint32 | an unsigned integer specifying the amount of generators in the file |
Directly after the integer specifying the amount of generators follow the generators themselves. The format of each generator is explained in the following table.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | char[4] | Four spaces, presumably the name of the generator base that is used in all object types |
| 0x4 | char[4] | version string, usually v0.0 |
| 0x8 | uint32 | unknown[unsure] |
| 0xC | uint32 | unknown[unsure] |
| 0x10 | uint8[32] | 32 bytes of data. unknown[unsure] |
| 0x30 | float[3] | XYZ position of object |
| 0x3C | float[3] | unknown[unsure] |
| 0x48 | char[4] | 4 byte string specifying the type of the object. Type name is reversed |
| 0x4C | char[4] | version string |
| 0x50 | uint8[...] | Variable amount of data depending on type of object |
