+ Rise of the Triad
+
+ Version 1.1
+
+ Hacker Info
+
+RTL & RTC File format:
+----------------------
+
+Rise of the Triad (ROTT) uses two file extensions for levels data, RTL
+and RTC. RTC indicates that the file is for Comm-bat (multiplayer) play
+only and does not contain any enemies or exits. RTL indicates the file
+can can be used for both Comm-bat and standard game levels. In Comm-bat,
+the enemies in RTL maps in standard play are not present during Comm-bat
+games and the exit and entrance arches behave like teleporters. Other than
+these differences, the two files are alike.
+
+The RTL/RTC file format changed with the release of ROTT version 1.1.
+Since the shareware version of ROTT cannot use alternate levels, this
+should not be a problem for map designers. The new format is much more
+formal. If any changes are made in the format in the future, the first 8
+bytes of the file will inform you if it is compatible with your editor/viewer.
+
+The RTL/RTC file is broken into three sections: Version info, Header block,
+and Data block.
+
+
+ RTL/RTC version info
+
+This 8 byte block of data indicates what type of file it is and which
+version of the RTL/RTC file format it is.
+
+ Offset Size Description
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+ 0 4 Format signature
+ 4 4 Version number
+
+Format signature :
+
+This is used to indicate what type of levels are contained within the
+file. This is a null-terminated string containing either "RTL" or "RTC".
+
+Version number :
+
+0101h for version 1.1. If this value is higher, it indicates that the file
+format has changed. This is NOT the ROTT version.
+
+
+ RTL/RTC Header block
+
+The header block contains an array of 100 structures with the following
+format:
+
+ Offset Size Explanation
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+ 0 4 Used flag
+ 4 4 CRC
+ 8 4 RLEWtag
+ 12 4 MapSpecials
+ 12 4 Offset in file of Wall plane
+ 16 4 Offset in file of Sprite plane
+ 20 4 Offset in file of Info plane
+ 24 4 Length of Wall plane
+ 28 4 Length of Sprite plane
+ 32 4 Length of Info plane
+ 36 24 Name of level
+
+
+Used flag :
+
+This is non-zero if a map exists at this position.
+
+CRC :
+
+This value is used to determine if all the players in a multiplayer game
+are using the same maps. You can use any method you like to calculate this
+value.
+
+RLEWtag :
+
+This is the run-length encoding tag used for compressing and decompressing
+the map data. The use of this will be described below.
+
+MapSpecials :
+
+This is used for flags that describe special conditions for the level.
+Currently only one flag is used. If Bit 0 is set, then all the pushwalls
+will be activated in Comm-bat mode. This is done in case there are player
+start locations within hidden areas and the player would be trapped until
+a pushwall was activated.
+
+Offsets :
+
+The Wall, Sprite, and Info plane offsets are each absolute offsets of the
+data from the beginning of the file.
+
+Lengths :
+
+The Wall, Sprite, and Info plane lengths are each lengths of the
+uncompressed data.
+
+Name of level :
+
+This is a null-terminated string containing the name of the level.
+Although there is 24 bytes available, level names should be at most 22
+bytes long.
+
+ RTL/RTC Data block
+
+When expanded, ROTT maps contain 3 planes of 128 by 128 word sized data.
+They are stored in the RTL/RTC files as 3 blocks of run-length encoded
+data. The procedure for decompressing them is as follows:
+
+ 1) Allocate 128 * 128 words of memory (32768 bytes)
+ 2) Read one word from compressed block
+ 3) If word is equal to RLEWTag, then the next two words are a compressed
+ run of data. The first word is the number of words to write.
+ The second word is the value to write map.
+ If word was not equal to RLEWTag, then simply write that word
+ to the map.
+ 4) Go back to 2 until all data is written.
+
+Here's an example of the procedure in C.
+
+
+/*---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Function: RLEW_Expand
+
+ Run-length encoded word decompression.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------*/
+
+void RLEW_Expand
+ (
+ unsigned short *source,

+ unsigned short count;
+ unsigned short *end;
+
+ end = dest + length;
+
+ while( dest < end );
+ {

+ source++;
+
+ if ( value != rlewtag )
+ {
+ //

+ //
+ *dest = value;
+ dest++;
+ }
+ else
+ {

+ // compressed string
+ //

+MAP WEIRDNESS
+-------------
+You can pretty much figure out most of the map data easily, but there are
+a few things in the map which are a little oddly set up. Here's a few
+helpful items.
+
+
+THE UPPER CORNER
+The first row of a map contains vital information to setting up a map.
+
+In the first plane (WALLS) are these values:
+
+0,0 FLOOR # (0xB4 through 0xC3, though we might cut some)
+1,0 CEILING # (0xC6 through 0xD5, or skies: 0xEA to 0xEE)
+2,0 BRIGHTNESS LEVEL (0xD8 to 0xDF, from dark to light)
+3,0 RATE AT WHICH LIGHT FADES OUT WITH DISTANCE
+ (0xFC to 0x010B, fast to slow)
+
+In the second plane (SPRITES) are these:
+
+0,0 Height of level
+ (1-8 ranges from 0x5A to 0x61, 9-16 is from 0x01C2 to 0x01C9)
+1,0 Height that sky is at relative to level (with same 1-16 arrangement)
+ (not needed for level with a ceiling)
+2,0 Icon for NO FOG (0x68) or FOG (0x69)
+3,0 Light sourcing icon (0x8B: if present, lights illuminate walls)
+
+Optional items in the upper corner are:
+
+Second Plane
+ Lightning icon (0x0179)
+ Timer icon (0x79: third plane points 0xXXYY to X,Y location of
+ timed thing--time in minutes/seconds there is MMSS in decimal
+ digits, so 0130 is 1 minute thirty seconds--and to one side of
+ that timed thing is the end time in the same format. This, for
+ instance, would say when to shut the door that opened at the
+ start time)
+
+Third Plane (INFO)
+ Song number: 0xBAnn, where nn is song number. If not present,
+ the game will choose song 0. If greater than the number of
+ level songs (18 in shareware), the game will blow out.
+
+
+DISKS
+Gravitational Anomaly Disks (GADS) are set up with a GAD icon in the
+second plane and a height in the third plane. The actual graphic has a
+disk in the top quarter, so to put one on the floor, you sort of have to
+put the object IN the floor, so the disk will be at the right height.
+Heights for objects start with 0xB0 and have that last byte as a
+tiles-off-the-floor nybble and sixteenths-of-a-tile fraction.
+
+So 0xB000 is, for normal sprites, resting on the floor.
+
+For disks, that would be a disk you could stand on to be one story
+(eight feet) in the air. The heights of disks usually go by sixes (that's
+the maximum they can be apart and you can still climb them like stairs) or
+fours (for a more gradual ascension). Here are three sets of height
+values. The values of 0xB0F1-$B0FE are into the floor, and $B0F6 is right
+about floor height.
+
+by 6 by 4 by 2
+B0F6 B0F6 B0F6
+B0FC B0FA B0F8
+B002 B0FE B0FA
+B008 B002 B0FC
+B00E B006 B0FE
+B014 B00A B010
+B01A B00E B012
+B020 B012 B014
+B026 B016 ...
+B02C B01A
+B032 B01E
+B038 B022
+B03E B026
+B044 B02A
+B04A B02E
+B050 B032
+B056 B036
+B05C B03A
+B062 B03E
+B068 B042
+B06E B046
+B074 B04A
+B07A B04E
+
+If you need higher ones, calculate them yourself, man.
+
+
+SWITCHES AND TOUCHPLATES
+
+Everything activated by a switch or touchplates points to the switch or
+touchplate that activates it, with the standard 0xXXYY format. This way
+tons of things can be activated by one switch. To make a door open with
+multiple switches/touchplates, make it a few tiles wide and have different
+parts of the door point to the different switches.
+
+LOCKED DOORS
+Locked doors are normal doors with a key sprite icon placed on them.
+
+
+============================================================================
+
+The ROTT WAD Format
+-------------------
+
+ Most of you out there are probably very familiar with the WAD file
+format developed by Id Software. We borrowed the format with their
+consent and use it for all the data in Rise of the Triad.
+
+ The WAD structure itself is identical to that of other WAD's,
+where the WAD header is as follows:
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ char identification[4];
+ long numlumps;
+ long infotableofs;
+} wadinfo_t;
+
+and the WAD directory is made up of [numlumps] of:
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ long filepos;
+ long size;
+ char name[8];
+} lumpinfo_t;
+
+
+ROTT Specific Data
+------------------
+
+WALLS - Walls are stored in the WAD between the two labels "WALLSTRT" and
+"WALLSTOP". The format of each wall is a 4,096 block of data with no
+header. The bitmaps are grabbed in vertical posts so that drawing in
+modex is more straight format. All walls must be 64 x 64. The walls must
+be the first few lumps in the WAD.
+
+MASKED OBJECTS - Masked objects in the wad comprise all actors and
+sprites. They can be found as weapons, objects, actors etc. They use the
+following headers and structures:
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ short origsize; // the orig size of "grabbed" gfx
+ short width; // bounding box size
+ short height;
+ short leftoffset; // pixels to the left of origin
+ short topoffset; // pixels above the origin
+ unsigned short collumnofs[320]; // only [width] used, the [0] is &collumnofs[width]
+} patch_t;
+
+These are extremely similar to the patches used in another game, except
+for the addition of the origsize parameter.
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ short origsize; // the orig size of "grabbed" gfx
+ short width; // bounding box size
+ short height;
+ short leftoffset; // pixels to the left of origin
+ short topoffset; // pixels above the origin
+ short translevel;
+ short collumnofs[320]; // only [width] used, the [0] is &collumnofs[width]
+} transpatch_t;
+
+Certain objects in the game like masked walls and touch plates will use
+the second type of patch which acts like a translucent patch.
+
+SKYS, FLOORS and CEILINGS - Skys are larger than the screen and are made
+up of two 256X200 grabs in posts similar to the walls. The first grab
+represents the bottom part of the sky and the second part the top of the
+sky. The skys are denoted by the labels SKYSTRT and SKYSTOP. Floors and
+ceilings use the following structure:
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ short width,height;
+ short orgx,orgy;
+ byte data;
+} lpic_t;
+
+They can be found between the labels UPDNSTRT and UPDNSTOP.
+
+
+Okay, enough hints! Have fun figuring stuff out.

Here's a note from one of the original ROTT programmers (Jim Dose) as to what will be needed to get this compiled:
+
+------
+
+You will need Watcom C v10.0b, which is what was used to compile the game originally. This source code release was tested with that version. Other versions are not guaranteed to work. Later versions such as v11.0 are known to most likely not work because of changes in the way data types are handled.
+
+You also need Borland's Turbo Assembler (TASM), but it is not required to build the full game if you use the .obj files that are already included. To do a full rebuild of the C code without having TASM, delete all the .obj files except for the following files:
+
+F_SCALE.OBJ
+RT_DR_A.OBJ
+RT_FC_A.OBJ
+RT_SC_A.OBJ
+RT_VH_A.OBJ
+
+To compile ROTT, type "wmake all". To compile the audio library, run "wmake.bat".
+
+(You'll also need a registered CD version of Rise of the Triad, too.)
+
+-----
+
+Please note that while we are releasing the source code to Rise of the Triad, the game itself has not been released in the same manner (in other words, Rise of the Triad is still commercial software). You can still buy the game from us by visiting http://www.3drealms.com.
+
+Thanks to all the fans who have hung in there and waited for us to do something like this, we hope you enjoy it. If you produce something cool with this source code, drop us a line at rott at 3drealms.com. In honor of the source code release, we contacted Tom Hall to reminicse a bit about the game, and we have some history from Scott Miller, President of Apogee. Their thoughts are below.
+
+Furthermore, the release of the Rise of the Triad source code is dedicated to our late friend and cohort, William Scarboro. William was one of the original Rise of the Triad programmers, and he unfortunately died of an asthma attack on August 9, 2002.
+
+William was born March 2, 1971 in El Paso, TX. He was a graduate of Texas A&M with a degree in Computer Science. He came to work here back in 1993, and was the first programmer we hired back then when we started doing in house development. He was mainly known for his work on Rise of the Triad where he worked on actor code, weapon stuff, and the gibs. In fact, William was directly responsible for the /EKG gib cheat in ROTT.

+
+RISE OF THE TRIAD: The Source Code Release
+A Note from Tom Hall
+
+It was 1992. I had just worked through half of DOOM, a creative guy in a technologically-oriented company. We parted ways and I left to start up "In-House Development" at Apogee (later 3D Realms). We started accruing a programmer here, and artist there. Soon we had a team. I came in with a memo about something (like bonus dough for library functions or something), and at the end I said something like, "And once we complete all these, we will be... THE DEVELOPERS OF INCREDIBLE POWER!" The guys laughed and liked this a lot. And thus we became the DIPs. :)
+
+With a game called ROTT, and a bunch of DIPs, you're heading for some derision. :) We had a fairly inexperienced crew: me, inexperienced at management; the rest of the guys, fairly new to the industry. It started as WOLFENSTEIN 3D, Part 2 -- a "transition project" my heart wasn't in, really. It wasn't my idea to do it, but it was something to do. Once we parted ways with that idea and id's involvement, things got rewritten, changed, and we came up with s-Quake functionality crammed into a Wolfenstein Plus/sub-DOOM engine. It was an example of pushing a technology to do what it really can't do well. We had a fun engine, but one that looked ugly, especially in the masked platforms -- they were paper thin! You could have had a fun game without doing what it couldn't do... but we were trying to beat the Joneses. And once we split ways with the id thing, I made three bad decisions: a) to keep the art we had already, b) to not redesign a new game and c) not to move over to the Build engine, where we could have had a Duke/DOOM level game going decently quickly.
+
+Ah well. Hindsight's 20/20. I am too nice, I guess. Yet, ROTT, for all its tortured technology, all its semi-justified graphics, did have some stuff that there was to be proud of. It was the first game with Rocket Jumping, the first game with Jumppads, the first game with parental password and Violence level adjustment, the first game with Capture the Flag... Plus, I believe, the record for the most cheat codes ever in a game! And a Random Level creator! And what about all those cool Deathmatch options! And speaking of Deathmatch, I recall William's wonderful Corpseyard deathmatch map, and his "totally heinous" insane Drunk Missiles! Mr. Scarboro, you, and your tuna, egg, salsa, and Omega 3 fatty acid bowls of goo will be missed. Wah-bgsht! To Mark, Jim, Nolan, Steve, Tim, Chuck, Susan, JoeSke, Big Joe, Marianna, Lee, Bobby, Robert and all, thanks for sharing a strange time with me, and so many crazy memories! "Uh, guys... um...." The Disturbathon. "50 kills!" "Ooooooooooh... Mmmmmmm..." Going to that crazy Bazaar to digitize old weapons. "Check out what I got the boulders to do now." "Ass!" "Use the fish." "Bowooooooooo!" "I'm lookin' for some hot buns..."
+
+And on and on... And thanks to Scott and George, for providing a place for us to be crazy together, and sticking with it even though it wasn't blockbuster stuff. I do owe you a debt in what was an odd, disorienting time for me. In the end, a couple hundred thousand folks seem to have enjoyed it, so there was something there that they liked. "See, Charlie Brown? It wasn't such a bad tree after all."
+

+
+A little history...
+by Scott Miller
+
+ROTT, as it quickly became known, marked a turning point for Apogee. It was our first in-house game since I started the company in 1987 with my home grown Kroz games, the games that started the shareware revolution that resulted in the launch of three of the most successful independent PC developers, Epic, Id, and us -- all three still kicking after 12+ years (as of Dec. '02). It's hard to believe we're among the oldest of all surviving independent PC developers in the world now. Before ROTT, Apogee, as we were then known, solely worked with outside development teams, often funding and helping organize these teams, and helping guide their game designs using our experience. But around 1993 it was evident that this method wasn't going to work out much longer because as games got larger and more complicated to make, team sizes had to grow, too. So, in 1994 we started hiring developers to form our own internal team, with the first of those hires including William Scarboro, Nolan Martin, Mark Dochtermann, Jim Dosé, and the ever creative Tom Hall to run the show.
+
+As Tom notes above, ROTT was originally an Id-approved sequel to Wolfenstein 3-D, using the original Wolf engine. The game was going to be called, Wolfenstein: Rise of the Triad, and explore what happened after Hitler's demise. About 4-5 months into development, though, a surprise call from John Romero ended the project, and we were left with a lot of content specific to the Wolfenstein premise, which had to be rolled into a new game concept so that we didn't waste all that we'd done. The result was a bit of a mish-mash, and as Tom says above, the project probably should've been restarted using our new Build engine, which our second internal team down the hall was using, making Duke Nukem 3D.
+
+ROTT ended up selling several hundred thousand copies and making enough money to keep Duke 3D funded. But it was at this time that we knew we had to make a radical company change to shift with the times, and so we created the 3D Realms label, and began phasing out Apogee, which we were leaving behind with the glory days of shareware, and the arcade-style games Apogee was best known for.
+
+We get a lot of requests to release the source code to many of the older Apogee games, but the problem is that Apogee does not own these games that were developed by external teams.
+
+This source release is a long time coming, and hopefully it's not the last time we're able to do this.

+The ROTT WAD Format
+-------------------
+
+ Most of you out there are probably very familiar with the WAD file
+format developed by Id Software. We borrowed the format with their
+consent and use it for all the data in Rise of the Triad.
+
+ The WAD structure itself is identical to that of other WAD's,
+where the WAD header is as follows:
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ char identification[4];
+ long numlumps;
+ long infotableofs;
+} wadinfo_t;
+
+and the WAD directory is made up of [numlumps] of:
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ long filepos;
+ long size;
+ char name[8];
+} lumpinfo_t;
+
+
+ROTT Specific Data
+------------------
+
+WALLS - Walls are stored in the WAD between the two labels "WALLSTRT" and
+"WALLSTOP". The format of each wall is a 4,096 block of data with no
+header. The bitmaps are grabbed in vertical posts so that drawing in
+modex is more straight format. All walls must be 64 x 64. The walls must
+be the first few lumps in the WAD.
+
+MASKED OBJECTS - Masked objects in the wad comprise all actors and
+sprites. They can be found as weapons, objects, actors etc. They use the
+following headers and structures:
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ short origsize; // the orig size of "grabbed" gfx
+ short width; // bounding box size
+ short height;
+ short leftoffset; // pixels to the left of origin
+ short topoffset; // pixels above the origin
+ unsigned short collumnofs[320]; // only [width] used, the [0] is &collumnofs[width]
+} patch_t;
+
+These are extremely similar to the patches used in another game, except
+for the addition of the origsize parameter.
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ short origsize; // the orig size of "grabbed" gfx
+ short width; // bounding box size
+ short height;
+ short leftoffset; // pixels to the left of origin
+ short topoffset; // pixels above the origin
+ short translevel;
+ short collumnofs[320]; // only [width] used, the [0] is &collumnofs[width]
+} transpatch_t;
+
+Certain objects in the game like masked walls and touch plates will use
+the second type of patch which acts like a translucent patch.
+
+SKYS, FLOORS and CEILINGS - Skys are larger than the screen and are made
+up of two 256X200 grabs in posts similar to the walls. The first grab
+represents the bottom part of the sky and the second part the top of the
+sky. The skys are denoted by the labels SKYSTRT and SKYSTOP. Floors and
+ceilings use the following structure:
+
+typedef struct
+{
+ short width,height;
+ short orgx,orgy;
+ byte data;
+} lpic_t;
+
+They can be found between the labels UPDNSTRT and UPDNSTOP.

- Rise of the Triad
-
- Version 1.1
-
- Hacker Info
-
-RTL & RTC File format:
-----------------------
-
-Rise of the Triad (ROTT) uses two file extensions for levels data, RTL
-and RTC. RTC indicates that the file is for Comm-bat (multiplayer) play
-only and does not contain any enemies or exits. RTL indicates the file
-can can be used for both Comm-bat and standard game levels. In Comm-bat,
-the enemies in RTL maps in standard play are not present during Comm-bat
-games and the exit and entrance arches behave like teleporters. Other than
-these differences, the two files are alike.
-
-The RTL/RTC file format changed with the release of ROTT version 1.1.
-Since the shareware version of ROTT cannot use alternate levels, this
-should not be a problem for map designers. The new format is much more
-formal. If any changes are made in the format in the future, the first 8
-bytes of the file will inform you if it is compatible with your editor/viewer.
-
-The RTL/RTC file is broken into three sections: Version info, Header block,
-and Data block.
-
-
- RTL/RTC version info
-
-This 8 byte block of data indicates what type of file it is and which
-version of the RTL/RTC file format it is.
-
- Offset Size Description
--------------------------------------------------------------
- 0 4 Format signature
- 4 4 Version number
-
-Format signature :
-
-This is used to indicate what type of levels are contained within the
-file. This is a null-terminated string containing either "RTL" or "RTC".
-
-Version number :
-
-0101h for version 1.1. If this value is higher, it indicates that the file
-format has changed. This is NOT the ROTT version.
-
-
- RTL/RTC Header block
-
-The header block contains an array of 100 structures with the following
-format:
-
- Offset Size Explanation
--------------------------------------------------------------
- 0 4 Used flag
- 4 4 CRC
- 8 4 RLEWtag
- 12 4 MapSpecials
- 12 4 Offset in file of Wall plane
- 16 4 Offset in file of Sprite plane
- 20 4 Offset in file of Info plane
- 24 4 Length of Wall plane
- 28 4 Length of Sprite plane
- 32 4 Length of Info plane
- 36 24 Name of level
-
-
-Used flag :
-
-This is non-zero if a map exists at this position.
-
-CRC :
-
-This value is used to determine if all the players in a multiplayer game
-are using the same maps. You can use any method you like to calculate this
-value.
-
-RLEWtag :
-
-This is the run-length encoding tag used for compressing and decompressing
-the map data. The use of this will be described below.
-
-MapSpecials :
-
-This is used for flags that describe special conditions for the level.
-Currently only one flag is used. If Bit 0 is set, then all the pushwalls
-will be activated in Comm-bat mode. This is done in case there are player
-start locations within hidden areas and the player would be trapped until
-a pushwall was activated.
-
-Offsets :
-
-The Wall, Sprite, and Info plane offsets are each absolute offsets of the
-data from the beginning of the file.
-
-Lengths :
-
-The Wall, Sprite, and Info plane lengths are each lengths of the
-uncompressed data.
-
-Name of level :
-
-This is a null-terminated string containing the name of the level.
-Although there is 24 bytes available, level names should be at most 22
-bytes long.
-
- RTL/RTC Data block
-
-When expanded, ROTT maps contain 3 planes of 128 by 128 word sized data.
-They are stored in the RTL/RTC files as 3 blocks of run-length encoded
-data. The procedure for decompressing them is as follows:
-
- 1) Allocate 128 * 128 words of memory (32768 bytes)
- 2) Read one word from compressed block
- 3) If word is equal to RLEWTag, then the next two words are a compressed
- run of data. The first word is the number of words to write.
- The second word is the value to write map.
- If word was not equal to RLEWTag, then simply write that word
- to the map.
- 4) Go back to 2 until all data is written.
-
-Here's an example of the procedure in C.
-
-

-
- Run-length encoded word decompression.

-MAP WEIRDNESS
--------------
-You can pretty much figure out most of the map data easily, but there are
-a few things in the map which are a little oddly set up. Here's a few
-helpful items.
-
-
-THE UPPER CORNER
-The first row of a map contains vital information to setting up a map.
-
-In the first plane (WALLS) are these values:
-
-0,0 FLOOR # (0xB4 through 0xC3, though we might cut some)
-1,0 CEILING # (0xC6 through 0xD5, or skies: 0xEA to 0xEE)
-2,0 BRIGHTNESS LEVEL (0xD8 to 0xDF, from dark to light)
-3,0 RATE AT WHICH LIGHT FADES OUT WITH DISTANCE
- (0xFC to 0x010B, fast to slow)
-
-In the second plane (SPRITES) are these:
-
-0,0 Height of level
- (1-8 ranges from 0x5A to 0x61, 9-16 is from 0x01C2 to 0x01C9)
-1,0 Height that sky is at relative to level (with same 1-16 arrangement)
- (not needed for level with a ceiling)
-2,0 Icon for NO FOG (0x68) or FOG (0x69)
-3,0 Light sourcing icon (0x8B: if present, lights illuminate walls)
-
-Optional items in the upper corner are:
-
-Second Plane
- Lightning icon (0x0179)
- Timer icon (0x79: third plane points 0xXXYY to X,Y location of
- timed thing--time in minutes/seconds there is MMSS in decimal
- digits, so 0130 is 1 minute thirty seconds--and to one side of
- that timed thing is the end time in the same format. This, for
- instance, would say when to shut the door that opened at the
- start time)
-
-Third Plane (INFO)
- Song number: 0xBAnn, where nn is song number. If not present,
- the game will choose song 0. If greater than the number of
- level songs (18 in shareware), the game will blow out.
-
-
-DISKS
-Gravitational Anomaly Disks (GADS) are set up with a GAD icon in the
-second plane and a height in the third plane. The actual graphic has a
-disk in the top quarter, so to put one on the floor, you sort of have to
-put the object IN the floor, so the disk will be at the right height.
-Heights for objects start with 0xB0 and have that last byte as a
-tiles-off-the-floor nybble and sixteenths-of-a-tile fraction.
-
-So 0xB000 is, for normal sprites, resting on the floor.
-
-For disks, that would be a disk you could stand on to be one story
-(eight feet) in the air. The heights of disks usually go by sixes (that's
-the maximum they can be apart and you can still climb them like stairs) or
-fours (for a more gradual ascension). Here are three sets of height
-values. The values of 0xB0F1-$B0FE are into the floor, and $B0F6 is right
-about floor height.
-
-by 6 by 4 by 2
-B0F6 B0F6 B0F6
-B0FC B0FA B0F8
-B002 B0FE B0FA
-B008 B002 B0FC
-B00E B006 B0FE
-B014 B00A B010
-B01A B00E B012
-B020 B012 B014
-B026 B016 ...
-B02C B01A
-B032 B01E
-B038 B022
-B03E B026
-B044 B02A
-B04A B02E
-B050 B032
-B056 B036
-B05C B03A
-B062 B03E
-B068 B042
-B06E B046
-B074 B04A
-B07A B04E
-
-If you need higher ones, calculate them yourself, man.
-
-
-SWITCHES AND TOUCHPLATES
-
-Everything activated by a switch or touchplates points to the switch or
-touchplate that activates it, with the standard 0xXXYY format. This way
-tons of things can be activated by one switch. To make a door open with
-multiple switches/touchplates, make it a few tiles wide and have different
-parts of the door point to the different switches.
-
-LOCKED DOORS
-Locked doors are normal doors with a key sprite icon placed on them.
-
-

-The ROTT WAD Format
--------------------
-
- Most of you out there are probably very familiar with the WAD file
-format developed by Id Software. We borrowed the format with their
-consent and use it for all the data in Rise of the Triad.
-
- The WAD structure itself is identical to that of other WAD's,
-where the WAD header is as follows:
-
-typedef struct
-{
- char identification[4];
- long numlumps;
- long infotableofs;
-} wadinfo_t;
-
-and the WAD directory is made up of [numlumps] of:
-
-typedef struct
-{
- long filepos;
- long size;
- char name[8];
-} lumpinfo_t;
-
-
-ROTT Specific Data
-------------------
-
-WALLS - Walls are stored in the WAD between the two labels "WALLSTRT" and
-"WALLSTOP". The format of each wall is a 4,096 block of data with no
-header. The bitmaps are grabbed in vertical posts so that drawing in
-modex is more straight format. All walls must be 64 x 64. The walls must
-be the first few lumps in the WAD.
-
-MASKED OBJECTS - Masked objects in the wad comprise all actors and
-sprites. They can be found as weapons, objects, actors etc. They use the
-following headers and structures:
-
-typedef struct
-{
- short origsize; // the orig size of "grabbed" gfx
- short width; // bounding box size
- short height;
- short leftoffset; // pixels to the left of origin
- short topoffset; // pixels above the origin
- unsigned short collumnofs[320]; // only [width] used, the [0] is &collumnofs[width]
-} patch_t;
-
-These are extremely similar to the patches used in another game, except
-for the addition of the origsize parameter.
-
-typedef struct
-{
- short origsize; // the orig size of "grabbed" gfx
- short width; // bounding box size
- short height;
- short leftoffset; // pixels to the left of origin
- short topoffset; // pixels above the origin
- short translevel;
- short collumnofs[320]; // only [width] used, the [0] is &collumnofs[width]
-} transpatch_t;
-
-Certain objects in the game like masked walls and touch plates will use
-the second type of patch which acts like a translucent patch.
-
-SKYS, FLOORS and CEILINGS - Skys are larger than the screen and are made
-up of two 256X200 grabs in posts similar to the walls. The first grab
-represents the bottom part of the sky and the second part the top of the
-sky. The skys are denoted by the labels SKYSTRT and SKYSTOP. Floors and
-ceilings use the following structure:
-
-typedef struct
-{
- short width,height;
- short orgx,orgy;
- byte data;
-} lpic_t;
-
-They can be found between the labels UPDNSTRT and UPDNSTOP.
-
-
-Okay, enough hints! Have fun figuring stuff out.
