The PAL version of this file compared with the NTSC one above only differs on two lines:
PAL OFF -> PAL ON REGION 0 -> REGION 1
Test results:
DEBUG_CHEAT
enables a cheat menu, which can be opened by pressing + and -
DEBUG_MULTIPLAYER
enables an extra multiplayer mode with the following content:
Connect to Anybody // Connects to WFC and then a game via internet on a test map (maybe level 70_00 NetzMultiplayerTest?)
Fake session // If you start match, you get an error (lost connection) and you are in the main menu
Connect to LAN (dont use) //
Friends //
Test Profanty //
Connect Stress Test //
Num Players // you can choose player number from 2 to 16
Search on channel // you can choose a channel from 0 to 35
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.
.tpl files
This files contain just a few graphics, 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), ... .
saveicons.tpl:
4 icons (maybe for saving)
savebanner.tpl:
1 banner (maybe for saving)
homeBtnicon.tpl:
1 icon showing a crossed out homebutton
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
