OBD:File types: Difference between revisions

'''File types''' are what we call Oni's different resource types, even though these resources are combined together into a few large files on disk (see [[Instance file]] to learn about them). Each type of resource or "file" is designated by a [[wp:FourCC|FourCC]], commonly referred to as a "tag" in other modding communities. Each file type is made up of fields with individual pieces of data (see [[OBD:Data types]] to learn how they're stored).

There are 135 file types documented below – 87 regular types, 2 wrapper types (BINA and OBJC), 4 BINA subtypes, 16 BINA/OBJC subtypes, 16 defunct types, and 10 unused types. There is a less technical set of documentation in the [[XML]] namespace for most of the file types, but the database below is our core reference for the file format and thus is the ultimate authority from which we create the XML documentation and our modding tools.

For convenience, the BINA and BINA/OBJC tags are listed in the "All tags" table, but redirect to their own separate tables below that. The unused and defunct tags are listed only in their separate tables at the bottom.

|• [[OBD:File types/Character|Character]]

|• [[OBD:File types/Message|Interface]]

|• [[OBD:File types/Level|Level]]

|• [[OBD:File types/Generic|Other]]

Here are the 109 file types that Oni actually uses, or 107 if you don't count the wrapper types "BINA" and "OBJC". The regular types' tag codes in this table link to their byte-level documentation, and the BINA and OBJC tag codes direct you to the lower tables devoted to those collections. (There are actually 105 entries in this table since four OBJC subtypes have the same tag codes as regular types, as marked by the "also see" notes.)
