1) We need the structure of save-file in RTW-BI
2)Also we need the program which may to work with that save-files
3)And the description of process of preservation of data in this file in Rome TW.

It is necessary for introduction in game of 3Dl sea fights.

wooow that would be awesome

Are you saying you have got 3d sea battles working in RTW/BI? I thought this was impossible - "Section Sea" researched and attempted this for a long time back in 05/06 and made little progress eventually coming to a dead-end.

I do not believe anyone knows about the exact composition of the save-game or how to look into it; and any messing around with the exe would be illegal (if that is what you mean).

I looked at your screens - they look similar to Section Sea's but it was all visual I believe - have you got anything actually workable?

Prof, if still around, may have more insight for you. Or any old timers that may have known about Section Sea.

This would be amazing if it was workable. But if Merlin could not crack it then, then unless something has changed, I doubt anyone else can. But I do not want to close my mind....

"Section Sea" - is it team in past time?

Where are members of this team in present?

Judging by the programs you have open I'm going to assume they are 3dMax set up's.. The ship models are pretty cool though, I can see those models being very much in demand once Empires is released..

I'm also interested in whether you've got anything working in game, without hacking the exec...

[MasterOfNone]

Merlin disappeared a couple of years ago and I am not sure who else was involved. The only evidence of it left is in this old piece on SCC:

http://www.stratcommandcenter.com/fo...58&#entry40958

Though Whitewolf (former FATW art director - also not been around or online for a couple of years or more) does mention a TWC attempt at it in 2005 so maybe a search of TWC might come up with something? I was not around on TWC in the early days so someone else older than me would have to respond.

EDIT: images are dead, but they looked pretty much like your own. The original site on teencritics.com appears no longer to exist.

Whatttttttttttttttttttt! ship battle??? it's impossible because if you wand to do that, you must hack the game, in fact recreat it!
maybe are you a video game develloper!

if not can you translate the thread of your forum in english, because i don't undertand the cyrilic^^

the scree shots from 3dsmax or a test on RTW?

[Korvin Flame]

There are real screenhots from RTW. But only from custom battles. It's working as ancillary program for RTW.exe

Now we need the structure of save-file to make 3D sea fights to campaign

[Korvin Flame]

And new question:

How to open sav.file?:hmmm:

[MasterOfNone]

Not a new question. You asked it before No one knows or has opened a .sav file afaik.

[Riannorix]

I don't know the file, but maybe do you know that Master?

can you Korvin, give more details for this battle ship?

[Korvin Flame]

can you Korvin, give more details for this battle ship?

Soon!

Unfortunately, I was not engaged in this aspect. Here I as the translator. Therefore I can not answer technical questions very quickly .

I will retell our dialogue to the author of idea.

[Boz]

Well, with notepad you can open them, but very little can be understanded.

It will be great if you can make it possible. Or at least fight the battles on custom battle.

How are the battles? you say to the ships to attack or skirmish the others? or you move each ship unit?

Hi!
I am Darius from "Imperiall".

thx for this theme

Some technical properties of this project:
1. Storm - is not RomeTW.exe inside mod. Its another application
2. I use GLScene engine to make project

And i need a .SAV file data format: headers, addresses of data etc.

please help if you can

ps. sorry for bad english )

[morfeasnikos]

WOW is that possible....i can wait to see it in action.....

[GreatOne]

It's possible in custom battles?How?

I'd like to know, so I can try some things myself....

[Gen.jamesWolfe]
