Fio:FileFormat
From Fio
TeamX is going ahead of whole world! Wasteland Ghost a few time ago has updated the documentation of PRO format. But TeamX is very silent organisation and the big problem is translation to english. - quote from nma
A link will be there for each type of file if it's referenced from TeamX's/NMA's site. Else it's figured out here in Fio.

master.dat\\data\\AI.txt [1]
Here the format of a file master.dat \\\\ data \\ai.txt, behaviour setting parameters for all types
NPC in fighting situations is described. Easier speaking, here it is set iskustvennyj
intelligence (AI) NPC in fight.
1. A format of a file
The file consists of descriptions of "fighting" parameters for PC and all classes NPC existing
in game. Descriptions are separated from each other by empty line. Each description consists of
the name of a class (is unique) also characteristics. Below the list of characteristics under
their alphabetic name is resulted. The designation string means, that on this place there should
be a line, N - numerical value, mixed - either a line, or value.
[A name of the Class]
This parameter should be specified to the first. For example, [Enclave Patrol], [Fighting
Mantis] or [Arroyo Villager]. The class of the player refers to Player AI. At the description of
"The" NPC, i.e. members of the command in game (party NPC), for each of them following classes
should be specified:
[PARTY NAME AGGRESSIVE]

As stated in AI.txt, the slot body_type will index into aibdymsg.txt to get msg index when npc get hit; and aigenmsg.txt will index the general movement msg.
AI.txt, aibdymsg.txt and aigenmsg.txt are all in a .ini-like format. It's easy to convert the file into lua table and do some comparison between used type in ai.txt and those defined type in aibdymsg.txt and aigenmsg.txt. Here comes the result(red ones are those types defined but not used in ai.txt):

.pro file
Some notes on part of .pro file format
Item
teamX's official .pro format has give a description of container which seems inaccurate:
3.3 Container (Контейнер)
Смещение Размер Описание
0х0039 4 Max Size (объем контейнера)
0х003d 4 Open Flags (флаги контейнера):
0x00000001 - Cannot Pick Up (нельзя поднять)
0x00000008 - Magic Hands Grnd (анимация <юзания>)
using a lua script to parsing all .pro files of items(master.dat/proto/items), we found that following items' open flags are 8:
1 00000042 2 00000060 3 00000061 4 00000062 5 00000063 6 00000064 7 00000065 8 00000066 9 00000067 10 00000068 11 00000069 12 00000070
and other containers' open flags can be 0 or 1. And IMHO, the meaning of Open Flags for container might be:
- 0 critter stand to open the container
- 1 critter crouch to open the container
- 8 N/A
[i'd tried to figure out the meaning of 8 for open flags from denbus1.map and newr1.map, but bad luck.]
Misc
8. Misc ------------ 0x14 Flags 0x00000008 - Flat 0x00000010 - NoBlock (To not block object) 0x00000800 - MultiHex 0x00008000 - TransNone (Opaque) 0x00010000 - TransWall 0x00020000 - TransGlass (Glass) 0x00040000 - TransSteam (Pairs) 0x00080000 - TransEnergy (Energy) 0x00004000 - TransRed 0x80000000 - ShootThru (Through object it is possible to shoot) 0x20000000 - LightThru (Through object passes light) 0x00000020 - Illumination (it is connected with fields Light distance and Light intensity) The note: flags TransNone, TransWall, TransGlass, TransSteam and TransEnergy are mutually exclusive.
These flag might be useful for path finding(to determine if a cell is blocked) and combat(ShootThru). For example, proto pid 0x020003B3 is a tree in arroyo and the flag is 0x80008000 which means it Trans Wall and can be ShootThru.
For scroll blocker (proto id 0x0500000C) the flag is 0xA0000018 - the scroll blocker can be ShootThru and LightThru. And it doesn't block (NoBlock/Flag) critter to walk thru it.
combatai.msg
- master.dat\\TEXT\\CHT\\game\\combatai.msg
The index got from aibdymsg.txt and aigenmsg.txt is the end of each message's spectrum:
[Berserk Person] attack_end=59 missed_end=72 move_end=39 packet_num=4 run_end=19 start_block=2300
while the begining of each type of message is arranged in a fixed rhythm:
- for aibdymsg.txt, {0, 10, 20, 30, 60, 70, 80, 90,}
- for aigenmsg.txt, {0, 20, 40, 60,}
with the beginning and end of messages, we can index into combatai.msg to get the correct msg.
.map
Note on the .map file.
portals
0x0058 4 Некие "флаги открытия" (в движке: cur_open_flags).
Certain " flags of opening"
It is the flag of opening:
- 0 for closed
- 1 for opened
in fallout there's few opened doors - you can find one in newr1.map(desperado club) and another in ncrent.map(the bar just near the entry).
mapscript:arcaves.map
i'd done some research on map script using arroyo caves map(arcaves.map) several points:
- map script pid, high byte - script type(also mentioned in teamX's site)
- 3 for scenery
- 4 for critter
- 1 for spacial
- map script pid, low byte - kind of grouping info of all three elevations. it might be used as kind of offset to locate the script info packed in .map file.
- spacial script(type 1, for example, ATSrTrp0.ssl) doesn't present with game objects in the map - it might hidden in the unknown map script fields.

spatial script
Red post on spatial script here
A normal script is always associated with a map, a critter, an object or a scenery item or a "spatial script". What's special about spatial scripts is that you don't need to put a "map element" on them to use them, and they're triggered once you eneter the spatial script's defined radius (though note temaperacl's point about it not necessarely being the player himself). This event is triggered in the spatial_p_proc entry point. In the game spatial scripts are usually defined to do two things: - Descriptions when you enter an area (other then the map itself, that would be in the map script...) - "Hidden" traps you can't disarm, such as the Navarro mines. - The goo in the toxic caves. Load any of those maps and you'll see them, along with their scripts if you press I.

script defined in .pro
Most script_id slot in .pro file is 0xFFFFFFFF, but for some .pro file it is a valid entry. Here's some result generated from those .pro files using a snippet of lua script.

City, Map and Elevation's Name
Fallout2 did quite messy to get an elevation's name. Here's how it works:
1. each city has a city id defined in city.txt(\\master.dat\\data\\city.txt) 2. each city have several entrances defined as 'entrance_#' 3. an entrance contains serveral parts(comma seperated): starting state, xpos, ypos, map index, elevation, tile_num, orientation e.g. "entrance_0=On,350,275,Arroyo Bridge,-1,-1,3" 4. the map index field is really a lookup name to index into maps.txt(\\master.dat\\data\\maps.txt) here each slot defines: map id, sound effects, .map name, lookup name, savable, can rest, etc. so using the lookup name we got from city.txt, we can match to find map id in map.txt 5. with city id and map id, we can find proper name in map.msg(master.dat\\TEXT\\CHT\\game\\map.msg) in map.msg, id above 1500 is city name. and each map id can map to a slot where the 0~3 elevation's name located. 6. done.
