Zhentar: /* Creature Structure */

== New string format ==

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width="100%"
| Offset || Size || Type || Description
|-
|0x00 || 16 || Character buffer || Holds the string data if capacity < 16
|-
|0x00 || 4 || Character pointer || Points to the string data if capacity >= 16
|-
|0x10 || 4 || Length || Current length of the string
|-
|0x14 || 4 || Capacity || Current capacity of the string buffer (also indicates which mode the string is in)
|}

Yes, the first two items overlap. This is correct. This is the MSVC Express string format - Toady appears to be using standard C++ structures pretty much everywhere.

== Creature Structure ==

The creature vector is at 0x01415A00, so:
List start: 0x01415A04
List end: 0x01415A08

|-
|0x458 || 102 || Labor preferences || 102 1 byte values, corresponding to the profession list. Mostly bools, with notable exceptions of shieldtype,armortype, and weaponnum. I have No idea what the last one means.

----

I'm currently trying to figure out the internal representation of the new Dwarf Fortress. I'm putting notes here so if someone else wants to start, they can collaborate instead of duplicating efforts.

Toady has said that the address to the active-creature vector seems to be 0x01415A00. This is indeed a vector, I haven't verified if it's the right one.

Toady's also using MSVC Express. He tends to use vectors and standard strings. MSVC's string is *weird* and I haven't deciphered it yet.

Updates as I figure things out. [[User:ZorbaTHut|ZorbaTHut]] 22:10, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
