There encrypted? I thought they where just compressed?

I'm pretty sure they're encrypted.

I thought they were both encrypted and compressed? Unless I heard wrong...I can't remember.

Semantics.
They aren't just the standard raws like the beta had.

Not really, since a compression form would be a lot easier to figure out.

I was saying there is something preventing them from being extracted, unlike the beta, and that if one could be extracted, both could be. It doesn't matter if it's encryption, compression, or a giant damn padlock on the DVD case. That is not the important part of my post, at all. That is semantic. In addition, they've already been extracted, as was discussed before you went off on the unimportant tangent stemming from false prioritization of portions of my message.

what makes you say that? they could very easily use a proprietary compression format which isn't documented...

Well I'm pretty sure that every known compression method to man has already been documented. Unless of course Bungie employees have an average IQ of 180.

Trying to whip up a new efficient (I created one myself a long time ago; far from efficient but it worked) compressor is not that quite easy.

Mine was really easy...every time there was a sequence of more than three of the same numbers like 0000 it would store those as an array defined by "&" as the indicator for the array than "0" as the data and "4" as the number of how many times it appears so in the end you compressed "0000" to "&04".

Of course this would only save space if the file has big chunks of empty space like the map files originally did.

Anyway I drifted unintentionally off-topic.

ok, Veegie didnt give me a straight answer so i'm coming here. Where does the gametype information start in a saved film? I want to make forge FFA so i can see custom colors instead of team colors.

I looked at zanzibar.map and warehouse.map... Looked at what stringID's should be left_foot and right_foot in bipd, read the value...

The string ID was just an Int32 indicating the index.

Worked for everything I've read so far.
