Next week I'm going to release Road.bin Editor v1.00.
Road.bin file contains navigation of traffic (no trams and planes - their navigation is defined in check.bin file).
Features:
- full management of navigation points with links
- single and multiply inserting
- pasting position for points from clipboard, which is formatted by Mafia.GetPos tool (by zibob32)
- deleting points
- attributes manager:
- setting values for more points
- auto calculate distance between points
- auto calculate speed
- etc.
- drawing points in a preview
- exporting points to CHED.chg - difference file
- to maintain compatibility, points in chg file uses same models as exported file by CHE - Check.bin Editor (by zibob32)
- custom language defined in txt file (default: English, Czech)
- custom skin (//wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Type of traffic is defined in scene2.bin file. List of car models, density, distance borders for hiding and generation - all is stored in traffic object definition.
Welcome to Mafiascene djbozkosz!
Very nice mod, this will be very useful to many modders.
I am looking forward to trying this <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
When you release it, please upload it to our download section <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
Hi, this tool is amazing <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="(//wink.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
When you're done, you can upload this into our DL Section - if you don't know how, follow johncena1's tutorial (they're listed in his signature).
I can help you with translating from Czech if you want <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="(//wink.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
Regards.
One little question, will it also be available do manage pedestrians? Or it can manage only traffic?
This is amazing! Can't wait for the release.
For manage peds is good Check.bin Editor (shortly CHE), but it is in Russian lang.
Tool in CHE:
In-game tool - for creating/deleting points and allows export points into game in chg difference file.
La Tierra - for creating links.
If you want I can describe to you how to use it <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
Yeah that would be great, I've already read on mafia.czech-games that you are going to write manual for this tools. I only need to delete some patches for peds <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

Yesterday I wrote a topic about impressive modding tools. But they were all written in Russian language.
It's fantastic to hear you are going to release this tool! I am looking foreward to it.
I downloaded the CHE tool and it also seems extremely usefull. But again I cannot understand a single manual nor button. I would be very gratefull if you could describe how to use it!
Great tool djbozkosz! Is there any way you could translate/draw a diagram explaining how to use CHE? <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
Yes, but now I'm testing and fixing minor bugs in editor. Then I have to translate Check.bin Editor Manual into English and write Road.bin Editor Manual.
I hope to finish all in this week. So you should be patient <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

I'm still writing manuals for CHE and Road.
They includes (or will be <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20"> ):
- types of points and their links
- rules, how correctly link points
- some examples of navigation paths / roads
- importing and editing cars / peds definition in scene2.bin with hex editor
- how correctly visualize points in game
Just a one little thing, you can also change ped/car definition in DCED. I know, many people hate DCED, 'cause it can also damage whole scene, but I think that hex editor is more dangerous then using DCED <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
To edit scene2.bin in hex editor you need to know basic rules of storing items structure in this file (eg every item (object) contains value with own length of item, etc).
First rule: you mustn't change legth of file, if you're editing this file with hex editor.
I haven't good experiences with DCED too. So I use it only for deleting objects from file <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
Other operations I do with BSV, MVE or hex.
Follow analysis pictures I will use in the manuals. From Czech versions:
Left: ped definition
Center: cars def.
Right: tram def.

I had to find how are implement semaphores, police roadblocks etc. Eg roadblocks aren't in road.bin file, but they are dummies in watercity.4ds model. All this will be explained in manual.
very well!
It's impressive what kind of research you are putting into this.
Wait, when you must keep file lenght, you cannot add/remove more cars, you can only modify parameters of existing cars?
QuoteWait' date=' when you must keep file lenght, you cannot add/remove more cars, you can only modify parameters of existing cars?[/quote']
Every name of car in traffic definition object have buffer with size 20 Bytes. For exammple: car_ford - length of this string is 8 Bytes, remainder to 20 Bytes (here 20 - 8 = 12 Bytes) is filled zero Bytes (see picture below). So if you don't need add new cars to traffic, by editing names of old cars (in hex editor) you don't change lenght of file.
About Add or remove cars: cars are in this obj. definition in a little database with number of cars and others values. If you extract this traffic definition with DNC Extractor to DNC file, then you can change legth in this DNC file, because it contains only one extracted object. But then you have to recalculate length of item and import DNC (overwrite old object definition) into scene2.bin.

Oh, I am so tired to write english correctly, so sorry guys...
djbozkosz, please tell, where in scene2.bin are defined car driver models? Where is defined, that policecar is always driven by firemen, gangsters car by gangsters....?
I did a one experiment, I've added cad_road and it was always driven by men in hat, OK. But I've added to traffic my own car (totally new car, adder by mafia car adder) and it was always driven by old lady in pink suit. How should I define driver model?

I never used this tool, but I searched for you where are defined driver models. Look into
tablesplayerindex.def file. In this file is the list with human models with ID. For name of model is defined space with size
20 bytes and after every name is an integer (4 bytes) number - ID. When I changed model of fireman -
Hasic01.i3d to
pol01.i3d (policeman), the fire truck was ridden by policeman. It depends on the ID, in the file are IDs: 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, C, 20, 40 and 20000 (all in hex). I don't know how to determine these IDs and which on files are linked. Maybe
carcyclopedia.def,
carindex.def or
vehicles.bin. Who knows ...
It's 100% carindex. In carcyclopedia, there are only names of cars and asociations with ID in textdb (hmotnost, výkon, motor, pÃâ¢evodovka), in vehicles.bin, their driving properties, and in carindex.def, there are for example associations with shadows models, preview pictures and manufacturer of car and some ID related with stealing possibilty.
That carindex.def file is different for 1.0 and 1.2. So when you are creating new car, just keep vehicles.bin and it's enought. You won't be able to select that car in freeride, in traffic, you won't be able to steal it, but when you place it with editor, it will be fully usable.
So... <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

But also creating navigation grid by placing points and making connections isn't as hard as it seems, it's only time-consuming.
BTW: I can't help my self, but instead serious work, I do bullshits (//bigwink.gif) Try to setup higher speed on all points and start-freeride-hoboken and go near the first corner. I can watch that for hours (//bigwink.gif)
