GENERAL INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marathon consists of the following files:

   %"Marathon" (application program)
   %"Shapes" (contains graphics)
   %"Sounds" (contains sounds)
   %"Map" (contains level information)
   %"Music" (contains music information, but *not* the samples of the notes)
   %"Physics Model" (optional - contains physics information)

   %saved games (contains mostly level information)
   %films (contains sequence of keystrokes)

The following information is contained in each file:

"Marathon" (type 'APPL', creator '26.2')

   Program code, and the usual assortment of resources found in most Mac
applications. The only interesting things here are the resources of type 'term',
which contain the text displayed on the computer terminals in the game.

"Shapes" (type 'shps')

   All graphic data for textures, sprites, and interfaces, stored as resources
of type '.256'. There are also 'clut' resources (color tables), and 'PICT'
resources that contain the pictures displayed between levels. I'm not sure
whether the color tables here are used, or the color tables stored in the main
application. See below for more information on the format of '.256' resources.

"Sounds" (type 'sndz')

   All game sounds. These are stored as ordinary Mac 'snd ' resources, of format
1. See Inside Macintosh for more information.

"Map" (type 'scen')

   Map information for all levels, stored in the data fork. See below for more
information.

"Music" (type 'msik')

   Music sequencing information, stored in the data fork. Exact format unknown,
but is supposedly it is some form of MIDI .

"Physics Model" (type 'phys')

   Physical infomation, stored in the data fork. There is also a 'text' resource
put in by Jason giving a short description of some of the format for this file.
See below for more information.

saved games (type 'sgam')

   Same information as "Map" files, stored in the data fork. There should be
only one level, however, and the 'EPNT' chunk is replaced by a 'PNTS' chunk (see
below). Also contained in these files is a 'PICT' resource of a portion of the
level map (as seen in the preview box), and a 'STR ' resource containing the
level name.

films (type 'film')

   Contains keystroke information necessary to replay a game. Exact format
unknown.

#define NONE -1

typedef long fixed;
typedef unsigned short angle;
typedef struct shape_descriptor
{
   char set;
   char frame;
};
typedef short world_distance;
typedef struct world_point2d
{
   world_distance x, y;
};

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAPES INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Header format:

Each '.256' resource starts with a 544 byte header:

enum /* shapes classes */
{
   _shapeUnused,
   _shapeTexture, /* RAW */
   _shapeSprite, /* RLE */
   _shapeInterface, /* RAW */
   _shapeScenery /* RLE */
};

%_shapeUnused: not used
%_shapeTexture: usually 128x128 pixels, but not always
%_shapeSprite: all monsters, guns, objects..
%_shapeInterface: everything that doesn't go in the window
%_shapeScenery: ???

struct shapes_header /* 544 bytes */
{
   short type;
   short class;
   unsigned short flags;

   short color_count;
   short palette_count;
   long first_palette_address;

   short high_level_shapes_count;
   long high_level_shapes_table;

   short low_level_shapes_count;
   long low_level_shapes_table;

   short image_count;
   long image_table;

   short scale_factor;
   long size;

   short unused[253];
};

%type: always equals 3
%class: see above
%flags:
%color_count: number of color entries in each palette
%palette_count: number of palettes (different palettes are used for different
"variations" of monsters)
%first_palette_address: offset to first palette
%high_level_shapes_count: number of high-level shapes
%high_level_shapes_table: offset to table of addresses of high-level shape
records
%low_level_shapes_count: number of low-level shapes
%low_level_shapes_table: offset to table of addresses of low-level shape records
%image_count: number of images
%image_table: offset to table of addresses of images
%size: size of entire resource

Palettes:

Each palette contain color_count entries, where each entry has the following
structure:

struct color_entry /* 8 bytes */
{
   short entry_number; /* ranges from 0 to color_count - 1 */
   unsigned short red;
   unsigned short green;
   unsigned short blue;
};

The palettes are stored consecutively with no gaps between.

High-level shapes:

   These describe an entire animated sequence, complete with sound effects and
frame rate information. The exact format is as follows:

enum /* high-level shape flags */
{
};

enum /* high-level shape types */
{
};

struct high_level_shape /* 88 bytes */
{
   short type;
   unsigned short flags;

   char name_length;
   char name[33];

   short view_count;
   short frames_per_view;
   short ticks_per_frame;

   short key_frame;

   short transfer_mode;
   short transfer_mode_period; /* in ticks */

   short first_frame_sound;
   short key_frame_sound;
   short last_frame_sound;

   short scale_factor;

   short unused[15];

   //frame information
};

%type: see above
%flags: see above
%name_length: length of name string (i.e. this is a Pascal string)
%name: ASCII string
%view_count: number of angles at which this animation can be viewed. This should
only be 1, 2, 5, or 8.
%frames_per_view: number of frames of animation
%ticks_per_frame: speed of animation
%key_frame: frame at which "something happens"?
%transfer_mode:
%transfer_mode_period: absolutely no idea..
%first_frame_sound: 'snd ' resource to play at start of animation
%key_frame_sound: 'snd ' resource to play at key frame
%last_frame_sound: 'snd ' resource to play at end of animation
%scale_factor:

After this comes the frame information, which is a series of 2-byte words, each
corresponding to a low-level shape. There will be view_count * frames_per_view
entries, followed by 2 bytes of zero signifying to end of the animation. Note
that if view_count equals 5, then it's really 8 * frames_per_view entries.

Low-level shapes:

   These describe just one non-animated sprite, or one frame of an animated
sequence. The exact format is as follows:

enum /* low-level shape flags */
{
   _lowShapeXMirror =    0x8000,
   _lowShapeYMirror =    0x4000,
   _lowShapeKeyObscure = 0x2000
}

%_lowShapeXMirror: indicates that the sprite is to be drawn from right to left
rather than left to right
%_lowShapeYMirror: similar to _lowShapeXMirror, but affects drawing vertically
rather than horizontally. It doesn't seem to be implemented
%_lowShapeKeyObscure: ???

struct low_level_shape /* 36 bytes */
{
   unsigned short flags;

   fixed minimum_light_intensity;
   short image_index;
   short x_origin, y_origin;
   short x_key, y_key;
   short left, right, top, bottom;
   short world_x_origin, world_y_origin;

   short unused[4];
};

%flags: see above
%minimum_light_intensity: minimum light value that can be assigned to this
image. Used for "bright" sprites, such as explosions, that are never supposed to
be dark.
%image_index: indicates which image is used to draw this low-level shape
%x_origin, y_origin: center of shape? Who knows..
%x_key, y_key: no idea..
%left, top, right, bottom: defines the bounding rectangle?
%world_x_origin, world_y_origin: no idea..

Images:

   These contain the actual graphic data for the images. First is a header, then
follows the scan start address table, and then the pixel data. The exact format
of the pixel data depends on the type of shape (RAW or RLE).

struct image_header /* 26 bytes */
{
   short width;
   short height;
   short unknown[11]; /* ??? */
};

%width: width of image
%height: height of image

    Next comes the scan start addresses. These are run-time calculated, so there is
no need to provide valid information here. However, the right amount of space
must be reserved for this block. The size of the block will be width * 4, plus 4
bytes at the end (unknown?).

   And finally comes the actual image data. In RAW format, this is just a block
of bytes, where each byte corresponds to one pixel. The pixels are stored top to
bottom, then right to left. The color of a pixel can be determined by using the
pixel value as an index into the palette.
   RLE format is a little different. It starts with a 2-byte command word. If
this word is greater than zero, it signifies the start of a vertical run of
pixels. The pixel data follows immediately, and the number of pixels is equal to
the command word. If the command word is negative, it signifies the start of a
vertical "skip" in which no pixels are drawn (a hole). The length of the skip
will be equal to negative the value of the command word. If the command word is
zero, it signifies the start of the next vertical column, which will start one
pixel to the right of the start of the first column. The command words are
repeated until the entire sprite is drawn.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PHYSICS MODEL INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The Physics Model contains information on gravity, weapon speed, monster
behavior, and many other things. I'm not sure where the default physics
information is stored (there doesn't appear to be any in the Marathon
application, nor the Map files..).
   Like the Map file, the Physics Model is made up of a number of "chunks", each
of which contains a number of "entries". The following chunk types are known:


Chunk types:

'mons': Monster information
'effe': Effect information
'proj': Projectile information
'phys': Physics information
'weap': Weapon information

   Each chunk starts with a header, which has the following format:

struct physics_chunk_header /* 12 bytes */
{
   long chunk_type;
   short unused[2];
   short entry_count;
   short entry_size;
};

%chunk_type: 4 character ASCII string signifying chunk type
%entry_count: number of entries in chunk
%entry_size: size of each entry

Why do the Physics Model chunks follow a different format from the Map chunks?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'mons' chunk:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Monster chunk defines every monster in the game, including non-hostiles.
A couple of things to note - first, different 'colored' monsters are defined seperately.
Second, the monster chunk references the effects chunk for animations when they get hit,
the projectile chunk for the projectiles they shoot (in the attack structure), and the
shapes directly for their moving shapes.

MAP INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The Map file is by far the most complex of all the Marathon files. It
contains all information about the structure and layout of the levels. Most
Marathon Map files contain multiple levels, which are stored as follows:

header (128 bytes)
level 1
level 2
level 3...
....
level n
trailer (n * 8 bytes)

   Each level contains a number of chunks. Not all chunks must be present, and
they may be in any order, but levels will not function properly without certain
chunks.

   The exact format for the header is as follows:

struct map_header /* 128 bytes */
{
   short type;
   unsigned short flags;
   char name[64];
   long unknown;
   long map_size;
   short level_count;
   short unused[25]; //not quite..
};

%type: usually zero, as far as I can see.
%flags: usually zero, as far as I can see.
%name: ASCII string, zero terminated, up to 64 characters. Usually "Merged Map
Files", but for saved games this is the name of the file.
%map_size: total size of map file, excluding trailer but including header
%level_count: number of levels

   The trailer contains one entry for each level:

struct map_trailer_entry /* 8 bytes */
{
   long offset;
   long size;
};

%offset: offset from start of file to this level
%size: total size of all chunks in this level

   Each chunk starts with a header, followed by a number of entries (exact size
and number of entries depends on the type of chunk). The format for the chunk
header is as follows:

struct map_chunk_header /* 12 bytes */
{
   long chunk_type;
   long offset;
   long size;
   //..rest of chunk data follows
};

%chunk_type: 4 character ASCII string signifying chunk type
%offset: offset from start of this level (not start of file) to next chunk
%size: size of chunk

Chunk types:

'iidx': exclusion zone chunk
'EPNT': vertex chunk (with extra info)
'PNTS': vertex chunk
'LINS': line chunk
'SIDS': side chunk
