Next Generation SHP Viewer

[MarkSheppard]

Thanks for the testing; I've been so focused on making sure that everything decompresses/compresses in SHPEd as a "major sanity check"; that I haven't done testing in the actual game(s) yet.

Did a slight detour away from file compression issues (after spending so long bashing my head against it) and went back into designing usability features.

EDIT:

I think I may have fixed the distorted images:

In my SHPView_sHeaders.js file I had this:

function readImageHeader(dataView, offset, imageNumber)
{
// SHP Image Header: 24 bytes long

const height = dataView.getUint16(offset + 0, true) +1;
const width = dataView.getUint16(offset + 2, true) +1;

const var1 = dataView.getInt32(offset + 4, true); // Use getInt32 to allow for negative numbers
const xStart = dataView.getInt32(offset + 8, true); // Use getInt32 to allow for negative numbers
const yStart = dataView.getInt32(offset + 12, true); // Use getInt32 to allow for negative numbers
const xEnd = dataView.getInt32(offset + 16, true); // Use getInt32 to allow for negative numbers
const yEnd = dataView.getInt32(offset + 20, true); // Use getInt32 to allow for negative numbers

// Include the image number in the log message
conditionalLog(`Image ${imageNumber} Header - Height: ${height}, Width: ${width}, Var1: ${var1}, xStart: ${xStart}, yStart: ${yStart}, xEnd: ${xEnd}, yEnd: ${yEnd}`); // only if verbose logging included.

return { height, width, var1, xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd };
}

Removing the +1 from height & width in that function made things show up inside the game + MOBHack for me with no skewed icons.

I then rewrote Icon0128.shp for MBT; doing a test with replacing

{12800, 12801}, //4948. SPW-60PB DDR *********NEW

with a Caesar like SPH icon



Transparency no good in the "zoom out" icon, but seems to work in the zoom in feature.

I then skipped down to an icon in Icon0128.shp that I did not edit:

{12810, 12811}, //4953. 2S1 Gvozdika Ukraine *********NEW winSPMBT v16

It exhibits the same issue:



So I guess I need to look at palette mapping codes....

Some more investigation...

At one specific zoom level; I get the flashing/cycling gray box where it should be transparent, but at all other zoom levels (I think) I have transparency:



Also, if you rotate the unit; the flashing area disappears:
