Entity info

I started going through the entity types to figure out a few fields. Haven't got too deep into it, and before I do I wondered, can you share the format info you mentioned for other entity types? If you've already got just the format I can put together a list of the model IDs for platforms, objects, etc.

Here's what little I have so far -- you may already have all this.

• All the structs start with the 4-byte header and the 12-byte position vector
• Type 2 is a player spawn point (single-player and multiplayer)
• Type 6 is a spawner for enemies, keys, etc.
• Type 11 is a camera position, e.g. for side views of Morph Ball puzzles, maybe also spectator cam

And a few properties for the type 3 - door format (total size 104):

Offset	Type	Description
0x00	Header (4)
0x04	Vector3Fx (12)	Position
0x1C	Vector3Fx (12)	Facing direction (unit vector)
0x38	uint (4)	Some ID
0x3C	uint (4)	Model ID
0x48	string (32)	Name

Model ID	Model
0	AlimbicDoor
1	AlimbicMorphBallDoor
2	AlimbicBossDoor
3	AlimbicThinDoor

I made a toggle in my viewer (not in master yet) to render unknown entities with the unused pick_wpn_missile model in different colors -- looks pretty nice.

rooms.c data source

I'm finally back to poking around with MPH formats. I wrote a model viewer of my own that's basically just an improved dsgraph, with some export features (including COLLADA export copied from mph-model-viewer) and a lot of format info copied from your repo.

I'll probably have several questions at some point in time, especially about animations, if you don't mind. But for right now a simpler question: Was the information in rooms.c (fog and light settings, for example) extracted from the game somewhere, and if so where?
