Copy the data of the sky you like to the end of a raw/sep file (with a hex editor) and change the raw/sep link of the sky images in the dat file (with OniUnPacker).

| ;Tables
| |
| :The "File" in "OBD File Header" (or "... Footer") was for disambiguation from
| |
| ::"OBD BINA Header", "OBD OBJC Header", "OBD OSBD Header" and maybe others...
| |
| :Since your table will be used for generic binary chunks, regardless of where they belongs to,
| |
| ::I'd call your new template "OBD Table", as suggested earlier.
| |
| ;Tables too
| |
| :If you ask me, there's nothing ''very'' wrong with a light brown (gold) background.
| |
| ::Or with a white one, for that matter. Matches the default skin just fine. ^^ | |
| :::Anyway, I'm colorblind, so I'll let you handle those matters as you see fit.
| |
| :An "End" column is not needed. I'm not sure I'd call the first column "Start", but it's OK.
| |
| :I also don't like "Translation" and "Meaning" at all, but it's also cosmetic.
| |
| :As for the "Bytes", I think I'd replace it with a ''type'' when applicable
| |
| ::(long, short, float, level ID, file ID, RAW/SEP address)
| |
| :::(maybe with a distinction between different DAT-link and RAW-link types, OBD-style)
| |
| ::::(ideally, informative tables should replicate fully functional struct-defs and vice-versa)
| |
| ::Actually, I wouldn't integrate the column headers (or their sizes) into the template at all.
| |
| :::Because in specific cases, you may want to organize the data somewhat differently
| |
| ::::(e.g. [[OBD:BINA|HERE]] or [[OBD:TRAM/raw0x34|HERE]] or [[OBD:ONCC#0x15C_-_0x293|HERE]]) (it's messy, but you get the idea)
| |
| :The 100% width can be cancelled out by embedding the "OBD File Table" in another set of table tags
| |
| ::Custom alignment of small tables can be handled there, too.
| |
| :::Headers and column sizes can't be overridden that way, though.
| |
| :I think a good compromise would be to split the "OBD File Table" in two :
| |
| :*the first half including the table tags (fancy backgeound color, 100%, etc). We'd call it "Fancy Table" because it has nothing to do with OBD.
| |
| :*the second half would be the header row, with its own fancy color, the column header names and their sizes. We'd call "Fancy OBD Header"
| |
| :Additionally, we can have a third template that just creates a row of "header" color, but doesn't specify column names and sizes. We'd call it "Fancy Header"
| |
| :By combining "Fancy Table" with either "Fancy OBD Header" or "Fancy Header", you'll be able to get :
| |
| :*the "predefined" format for documenting generic chunks of binary data
| |
| :*or a more "loose" (not OBD-specific) format where you'll be able to set up custom columns
| |
| :You can even use several "Fancy Header"s per table if you so wish
| |
| :We may also have such a "fancy row" template for the "Below follows the first package" (which is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleonasm#Semantic_pleonasm semantic pleonasm] BTW), probably with custom text.

| :The problem is not with ''me'' not having taken the time to Google it up.
| |
| :The problem is that the [[OBD:ABNA|ABNA]] page deals with BSP trees,
| |
| ::but doesn't provide any info as for what a BSP tree actually is
| |
| :::(which is why I asked the question ''there'', obviously).
| |
| :The other problem is : if you know what a BSP tree is,
| |
| ::why those vague comments about the unknown fields?

| :Principles, my friend, are yet another "pish pot of nonsense" ^^

| :You're forcing anyone who wants to work with those images

| :However, I'll keep the template, because:

| | ==Homing Weapons?== |
| | Hi, Ssg. I was looking over the weapons class in the Oni binaries, and I can't find where it records that certain projectiles, like the Scram cannon's, are homing. Isn't there a bit for that? --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 19:57, 28 February 2008 (CET) |
| | :Homing is a property of the projectile, not of the weapon class. You want to look at [[OBD:BINA/PAR3]]. |
| | ::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 23:14, 28 February 2008 (CET) |
| | :Oh... Sorry, Iritscen, didn't see your question. |
| | :Thanks for the answer, geyser. :-) |
| | ::[[User:Ssg|Ssg]] 23:04, 4 March 2008 (CET) |
| | Yes, thank you. I have a neat weapon-modding idea I'd like to try. This would be my first modding attempt (we'll see if it works, I don't want to promise much, and it's a simple idea anyway). --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 15:32, 5 March 2008 (CET) |
