Tutorials for DNT binary structure

[kknd713]

First of all, thx to guys for helping me understanding the structure again(especially "老周", R.Madman )

Very happy to share this infomation to all of you, hope it can stimulate the progress of developing more better dn tools or releases

Some Binary Knowledge(for non-professionals)
binary/hex numeric data display as high-low in form(I dont' know how to translate this terminology tt1, concerns hilo issue. for instance, when you see "00 FF" as a numeric 2-byte data, it should be computed as "FF 00", result of 65280 NOT 255. so when you read the dnt file as raw number with binary stream, you should format/re-organize the data as right form(high-low).If your programming language supports, use the methods which can provide primitive data as much as possible.such as DataInputStream(method as "readByte","readInt" etc.) in Java, and BinaryReader(method as "ReadInt16","ReadUInt32" etc.) in C#.


DNT binary structure
the binary data is orgnized as following order:

Column Type:

Let's take "\GameRes\resource\ext\actortable.dnt" as an example:

binary data in UE:

actual data in "dntEditor-kyu"

my translation is a little rusty...hope u can understand..

So, how can i add new table ?

technically just following the structure, or create a db table and use http://forum.ragezone.com/f853/gm-tool_dnt2table-981824/ to convert to dnt
