levels.txt
Every line of this file is built like the following example:
03_10 edfedermeyer Level3_10 Tue May 26 15:03:49 -1560281088 -1560281088
There is a .gcm/.gcs file named as the first number, e.g. 03_10.gcs,
Ed Federmeyer is the lead programmer,
Level3_10 is the description of the level which is in the .gcs, too.
The rest is unknown (maybe the last changed date, but -1560281088 ???).
.gcm/.gcs files
The .gcm and .gcs files contain much data (please add what exactly), but nobody was able to unpack them so far.
They begin (opened with text editor) with BGIB ... "level name" or <strat wad> ... edfedermeyer ... stuff like "-wii -quiet -disableerrors -nodefaultmaplights -noautomaticshadowreceivers -maxmodelsize 10.0 -maxedgelength 25.0" ...
Other things found:
RIFF headers
.bik movies
This movies can be converted with RAD Video Tools.
saveicons.tpl / savebanner.tpl
This files contain just a few graphics for saving (??? not sure ???), they can be converted with tplcnv.exe (a tool for GameCube textures) into .dds format, which can be read and edited by Gimp (with dds plugin), ... .
homeBTN_XXX.arc
Aims
Unpack the .gcm and .gcs files (this is the base for nearly everything else like changing sound and graphics)
Look for a working LAN mode
