Introduction
Acknowledgements
This body of work is due to Synide's sweat and tears. To whom, all honour and glory. Ably assisted by T_D, with Mikero trying to keep up with them both.
All accurate data is supplied by the first two individuals. All mistakes, omissions, typos and general misinformation is due to Mikero alone );
General
The general file format of a ArmA ODOL v40 p3d model file is similar to the ODOL v7 format. The major differences are that in ArmA models are
- an optional model.cfg
- resolutions are in reverse numerical order.
The order of resolutions denoted in the header portion of the file is not necessarily the numerical order of the resolutions. (often the 11,000 resolution is the last in the header array) The header resolutions need to be sorted in descending order. The resultant sorted array of resolutions is the order in which they appear in the file.
NOTE:- As at Aug, 13th 2007, this file format is not conclusive and final. It may or may not fit the actual model file format of an Armed Assault ODOL v40 p3d model.
Legend
Type | Description |
---|---|
byte | 8 bit (1 byte) |
tbool | byte: 0 = false. |
ushort | 16 bit unsigned short (2 bytes) |
int | 32 bit signed integer (4 bytes) |
ulong | 32 bit unsigned integer (4 bytes) |
float | 32 bit signed single precision floating point value (4 bytes) |
asciiz | Null terminated (0x00) variable length ascii string |
File Format
The following is a mix of pseudo-code and structure references that could be used to describe the file format of ODOL v40. It may or may not be accurate but has do date been used to read ODOL v40 in some cases without manual intervention. As at the writing of this article in most cases though, manual intervention is required to complete navigation throughout the given p3d file as there is some unkonwn data that prevents continuous processing.

Decompression
In ODOL v40 format files some of the datastructures present in the file are compressed by using a form of LZ compression. Unlike pbo compression, in ArmA model files, one only knows the number of items to decompress, the expected output size (in bytes) and the expected checksum. With this information and the size of a given data item one has the necessary information to expand the data to it's original format and size.
Note:- Data structures that are identified as being compressible will only be compressed if the 'expectedSize' is >= 1024 bytes.
The code that follows is written in C# and may or may not be optimal or correct.
As an example if one was expanding the array of vertices positions...
- A vertex is described by it's x,y,z coordinates which are floats. A float is a 32bit (4 byte) number.
- If we were processing 1968 vertices then our expected output size would be 1968 * (3 * 4) = 23,616 bytes.
This 'expectedSize' is the only necessary information one would need to pass to a processing sub-routine or function.
