enemy_path_shortest_table.bin (File Format)
From Wexos's Wiki
(Redirected from Enemy path shortest table.bin)
enemy_path_shortest_table.bin is a file found in battle arenas in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It specifies distances between all enemy path points in a battle BYAML file. It seems to be used for finding in what direction the shortest path exists, when an enemy CPU is supposed to drive towards a specific area.
File Format
The file byte order is always little endian.
Header
The file starts with the following header:
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | Char[4] | File magic. Always STBL in ASCII. |
| 0x04 | UInt16 | Total number of enemy points (N) in battle muunt BYAML. |
| 0x06 | UInt16 | Header size. Always 8. |
Entry
A file contains N * N entries. Each entry specifies the relationship between two points. They have the following structure:
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | Float | Distance between the two points. |
| 0x04 | UInt16 | Path ID, which specifies the next point of the shortest path. This presumably is used to find the whole path the CPU should take to go to a specific area. |
| 0x06 | UInt16 | Point ID, which specifies the next point of the shortest path. |
