Editing Coldboot.raf

Coldboot animation uses settings from the [[RCOXML Structure]] of [[custom render plugin]] (in RCOXML setion note the animation settings for: '''anim_coldboot''' and '''anim_coldboot2''')

To extract the files from coldboot.raf is needed to make a [[Template:Zlib Header|zlib]] decompression and then a CXML extraction (use "CXML decompiler" tool made by flatz, download link and source code is at bottom of [[CXML Containers]] page). The extracted files are:

As explained in [[CXML Containers]] page, RAF containers includes embedded data inside his structure (like metadata, not a real file). This data is generated by the RAF compiler, is based in the original scene.xml used to create the RAF, and also is based on the internal structure of the RAF container (this data about the RAF structure is not present in the original scene.xml)

The XML files generated by "CXML decompiler" contains more info than the original scene.xml. This makes posible to rebuild by hand the orginal scene.xml using as a layout the XML standards explained in [[Rich Appearance Format (RAF)]] page

'''Coldboot.xml''' (original scene)

{{Boxcode|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">

 

<model id="id_model" file="model.dae" vertex_color="" >

<animation id="animation" file="animation.dae" start="1" end="100" sampling_rate="1" />

</model>

<!-- material -->

<material id="id_material" effect="pure_texture" >

<texture file="texture.jpg" type="color_map" />

</material>

<!-- actor -->

<actor id="name" model="id_model" material="id_material" position="x,y,z" rotation="x,y,z" scale="x,y,z" color="r,g,b,a" uv_scale="u,v" uv_offset="u,v" anim_weight="anim0, anim1, anim2, anim3" anim_speed="anim0, anim1, anim2, anim3" anim_time="anim0, anim1, anim2, anim3" />

<camera id="name" file="camera.dae" type="perspective / orthographic" yfov="1" ymag="1" znear="1" zfar="1" position="x,y,z" direction="x,y,z" up="x,y,z" />

<light id="name" file="light.dae" type="ambient / point" color="r,g,b" position="x,y,z" direction="x,y,z" attenuation="1,1,1" />

<script file="script.js" />

There is no known way to rebuild the original plane.dae by using as the source the files plane.edge and plane.skel (and if there is some way probably is very complex because there is lot of info from the original .dae that is lost when processed by the raf compiler)

For coldboot.raf the plane model seems to be a rectangle that covers all the screen, the better chance to get the original plane.dae used to create coldboot.raf is by taking a background.dae from some of the unnofficial dynamic themes published... then process it with raf compiler and extract with "CXML decompiler"... if the extracted files '''plane.edge''' and '''plane.skel''' matches with the ones extracted by "CXML decompiler" from coldboot.raf then you have found the original plane.dae used to create coldboot.raf (if so... please post it here .dae files are xml based)

The script extracted by "CXML decompiler" from coldboot.raf (coldboot.jsx) is the converted file that was generatd by the raf compiler from the original '''coldboot.js'''

Is posible to decompile the coldboot.jsx (manually by now), the complete process that was made to decompile coldboot.jsx script is explained at the bottom of [[VSMX]] page

The code below is the original coldboot.js (in [[PlayStation JavaScript]] format)... after compilation/conversion to coldboot.jsx (in [[VSMX]] format) the file should have MD5: 5461466B242D81B57D872BBA95EED753
