Line BIN files from Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 control route data used by CPUs as well as checkpoints.
File Format
The file byte order is always big endian. It starts being read with a 12 byte footer.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | Int32 | Unknown. Always 6. Maybe number of CPU paths? |
| 0x04 | Int32 | Unknown. Always 6. |
| 0x08 | Int32 | N number of paths. Always 7. |
| 0x0C | End of footer | |
Path Offsets
At the start of the file there are N path offsets, relative to the start of the file. The data afterwards is aligned to 0x10. The first path is always a checkpoint path, while the rest are CPU paths from left to right from the pole position.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | Int32[N] | Offsets to Path Data sections. |
Path Data
Each path has a footer that determines the number of points.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | Int32 | Negative number of points of the path. To obtain the actual number of routes, multiply by -1. |
| 0x04 | Byte[12] | Padding. |
Point Data
Each route point has its own 0x10 byte long entry.
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | Int32 | Unknown. Always 1. |
| 0x04 | Float[3] | Point position. The Y value seems to be used as the point's radius (?) |
