Industrial Park (level editor)

Introduction
Industrial Park is a tool made by community member igorseabra4 in C# using SharpDX. It is an editor capable of opening a number of HIP/HOP files and display the level, with models and textures for level and objects, as well as edit some of the asset types. The program is still under development, so features are still planned; the latest release version is Preview 17 and the information on this page is up to date with it.

This tool is based off from, and shares a lot of its source code with another one of the creator's tools: Heroes Power Plant, a tool to edit levels in Sonic Heroes. Being also based on the RenderWare engine, both games share their model format. It also gave Industrial Park the convention of being named after a level in the game.



View
These are the commands to move the view:


 * W, A, S, D: move view forward, left, backward, right
 * Shift + (W, S): move view up, down
 * Ctrl + (W, A, S, D): rotate view up, left, down, right
 * Q, E: decrease interval, increase interval (view move speed)
 * 1, 3: decrease rotation interval, increase rotation interval (view rotation speed)
 * R: reset view
 * Z: toggle mouse mode
 * F1: displays the View Config box

Mouse controls:


 * Mouse wheel to move forward/backward
 * Right click and drag to pan (move view up, left, down, right)
 * Middle click and drag to rotate view
 * Left click on an asset to select it
 * Ctrl + Left click on an asset to select multiple

Mouse mode (Z): similar to a first person camera. The view rotates automatically as you move the mouse. Use the keyboard to move around.

Options
In the Options tab, you can choose a few settings.


 * View Config (F1): displays the View Config box.
 * Add Texture Folder: explained below.
 * Clear Textures: clear textures from program.
 * Use Legacy Asset ID Format: disables using asset names in place of IDs


 * Colors:
 * Reset: resets all colors to default.
 * Background: allows you to choose a new background color for the view.
 * Widget: allows you to choose a new color for unselected box widgets.
 * MVPT: allows you to choose a new color for unselected MVPT widgets.
 * TRIG: allows you to choose a new color for unselected TRIG widgets.
 * SFX: allows you to choose a new color for unselected SFX widgets.
 * Selection: allows you to choose a new color for selected widgets and objects.
 * No culling (C): toggles backface culling
 * Wireframe (F): toggles wireframe mode
 * Use Legacy Asset ID Format: this will disable using asset names in Asset ID fields and force you to use hex numbers only.
 * Name Display Mode: Choose how asset names will be displayed:
 * AssetName [AssetID] (default)
 * [AssetID] AssetName (alternate)


 * About: display About box.

In the Display tab, you can choose which asset types are currently being displayed. You can also toggle

View Config
The view config allows you to view and set Industrial Park's 3D view's current position, rotation, movement speed (separate for position and rotation), maximum draw distance and field of view.



Projects
Industrial Park projects are a resource to help users with level editing. A project file is a text (JSON) which saves an open instance of the program, meaning it contains:
 * Opened HIP/HOPs and texture folders
 * View position, rotation, FOV, draw distance, speed
 * Settings sucha as wireframe, culling and custom colors
 * Which assets are currently visible

All of those are restored from the file, meaning you can quickly restore Industrial Park to a previous state.


 * Project Menu:
 * New: closes the current project instance and resets Industrial Park to default.
 * Open: choose a project JSON to open.
 * Save: saves the current instance as a project JSON, overwriting the previous one. Does not save edits on HIP/HOP files on the Archive Editors.
 * Save As: saves the current instance as a new project JSON. Does not save edits on HIP/HOP files on the Archive Editors.


 * Auto-Save On Closing: automatically saves the currently open project JSON when closing Industrial Park.
 * Auto-Load On Startup: automatically loads the previously open project JSON when opening Industrial Park.

If Auto-Save On Closing is enabled and no project JSON is specified, a file called default_project.json in the same directory as Industrial Park will be created and used. Project files can be opened and edited in a text editor, where you can manually edit them if you want to, although I don't recommend doing this.

Archive Editor
The archive editor is the main way to edit HIP/HOP archives in Industrial Park. You can open any amount of Archive Editors you want to, and each can have one HIP and/or HOP file open. If you wish to edit multiple HIP/HOP files for a level, for example, you can open two Archive Editors each with one of the files. Also, opening a third one with boot.HIP will allow you to view the objects whose models are contained there (such as spatula, underwear and shiny objects).



Closing the Archive Editor through the X button will not close it, only hide it.
 * File Menu:
 * Open: choose a HIP/HOP file to open in this Archive Editor. If the file is from Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights, a dialog will ask you to choose which platform that file corresponds to (GameCube, PS2, XBOX) as it's not possible to determine that from the file in that game.
 * Save: saves the currently open file and overwrites it.
 * Save As: allows you to pick a new destination to save the file.
 * Export TXD Archive: Allows you to export all of the archive's RWTX assets into a single TXD file. This only works on GameCube HOPs.
 * Import TXD Archive: Allows you to choose a TXD file to import; rather than importing the entire archive, the tool will batch create one asset from each texture of the archive and import it as a RWTX asset. Existing ones with matching names/IDs will be replaced.
 * Close: closes this Archive Editor and unloads the HIP/HOP file. This doesn't save the file.


 * Layer: assets in HIP/HOP archives are organized into layers. Each layer has a list of assets and if you're adding new assets you should add them to the appropriate layer (for example, models should go in a MODEL layer).
 * Layer Box: this will allow you to pick a layer and view its assets.
 * Layer Type: this will allow you to see and edit a layer's type.
 * Add: this will add a new layer to the archive.
 * Remove: this will delete the selected layer from the archive along with all its assets.
 * Move Layer Up: this will move the selected layer up in the list. This is useful as Texture layers must come before all others in the HOP.
 * Move Layer Down: this will move the selected layer down in the list.


 * Assets: each asset is an individual in-game object with a type and function. You can click on an asset in the list to select it, or Ctrl + click to select multiple.
 * Show by type: this will allow you to see in the list only assets of a specific type, or all of them.
 * Find Asset: type an asset ID (preceded by 0x) or name here. If an asset with this ID or name is present, it'll be selected.
 * Add: displays the, allowing you to import raw data for a new asset.
 * Duplicate: duplicates the selected asset(s). The new assets will be a copy with a new name and asset ID.
 * Copy: puts the selected assets on clipboard. You can paste them to a text file and save it, or paste in a different Archive Editor, for example.
 * Paste: pastes the assets from clipboard. You must have previously copied assets. If the asset already exists, it'll be given a new name and asset ID.
 * Remove: deletes the selected assets from the archive.


 * View: will move the view to the selected asset's position. For most assets, it will show the asset from a short distance, but for the CAM asset, it will place the view in the exact position it assumes ingame for that camera.
 * Export Raw: allows you to export an asset's raw data to a file.
 * Edit Header: displays the, allowing you to edit the selected asset's header.
 * Edit Data: displays the Asset Data Editor dialog, allowing you to edit the selected asset's internal data. This editor is only available for some of the assets; for the others, you must export the raw data and edit it externally in a hex editor.

Notes:
 * You can click on an asset in the view to select it in the Archive Editor.
 * For some assets, a transform gizmo will be displayed when it's selected. You can click and drag these arrows to move the object around the world.
 * Industrial Park's gizmos have a glitch in which, if moveable assets are selected in multiple Archive Editors, the gizmos will move all of them at the same time.

Asset Header Editor
The Asset Header dialog will be shown when adding or editing an asset.



It allows you to edit the information of the asset's AHDR entry. Header data is the same for all asset types.


 * Asset Type: the type of the asset. If you change this, be sure to import new asset data.
 * Asset ID: the Asset ID of the asset. It'll be calculated automatically from the asset name using the BDKR hash algorithm, which is the same one used originally by the developers, but you can edit it afterwards (don't do this for RWTX assets!)
 * Flags: these are dependant on asset type. It's best if you do not change them.
 * Asset Name: the name of the asset. The name and asset ID are important for identifying you asset in the archive and referencing it from other assets.
 * Asset Filename: the path to the asset's data for external data. This was used only during development and is ignored, so there's no need to bother with this.
 * Checksum: this was used only during development and is ignored, so there's no need to bother with this.


 * Grab Template: for some assets, a template is available, allowing you to create a blank version of the asset without copying it or importing raw data. You can add your templates under Resources\Templates\BFBB\ (or the other game's name) if you want to (templates are unique to Scooby and BFBB but are shared between Incredibles, Movie Game and ROTU).
 * Import Raw Data: imports the asset's raw data from a file.

Asset Data Editor
The Asset Data editor will be shown when editing an asset's internal data.



This window has different properties for each asset, and sometimes looks completely different as it's adapted for each individual asset types's needs (such as CAM, SND, SNDS and TEXT). Not all of the asset's attributes are known, meaning you'll find a lot of fields labeled as unknown. This editor is not available for all asset types, and you can find the list for which it does work below.

The internal editor supports conversion between asset IDs and asset names. This means that, in any place you're supposed to type an asset ID, you can also type the name and the ID will be generated automatically from it; asset IDs will also be automatically replaced by names whenever possible. Type hexadecimal numbers starting with 0x to force use of an asset ID and not a name. This function can be turned off completely in the options: "Use Legacy Asset ID Format".

The button labeled "Find Who Targets Me" performs a backwards search of assets, finding which assets have a field or an event that target "me" (for example, if you perform this on a MODL, you'll find which MINFs, SIMPs or PLATs use it).

Asset Types
The following asset types are supported by the internal editor:


 * Events (but not other fields) can be edited for the following asset types: CCRV, CSNM, DSCO, DTRK, DUPC, GRSM, GUST, LITE, LOBM, NGMS, NPC, PARE, PARP, PARS, PGRS, PRJT, RANM, SCRP, SDFX, SGRP, SLID, SPLN, SSET, SUBT, SURF, TPIK, TRWT, UIM, VOLU, ZLIN. All other assets must be exported as a raw binary file and edited externally.

Displaying Textures
You may have noticed that, when you first open a level, it has no textures. Industrial Park cannot load textures directly from the RWTX assets contained in the HOP yet. To enable texture display, you must use Magic.TXD.


 * 1) In the Archive Editor in which you've opened the HOP file, click File -> Export TXD Archive. Choose a path and name to save your TXD as.
 * 2) Open your new TXD file in Magic.TXD and click Export -> Export All. Set the format to PNG and choose any folder to export all your textures to. Now close Magic.TXD.
 * 3) Now that you have all textures exported to a folder, you can use Industrial Park's Add Texture Folder button to load these textures in.

UI Mode
In the Display tab, you toggle between normal view mode and UI Mode: this is intended for editing of menus through UI and UIFT assets. The view will become a 2D 640x480 screen (this aspect ratio can be forced through the UI Mode AutoSize button). Those assets can also be edited in normal mode, but it's possible to have an approximate preview of them with UI Mode.
