Descent Pig And Hog Files
Well, as far as I am aware, none of the Descent 1 sourceports allow for custom Descent 1 datafiles (as in: they crash/bug up whenever I try to edit any file). Also, I'm not sure wether a Descent 1 free dataset would be harder or easier to do when compared to a Descent 2 dataset. EDIT: actually, due to the fact that D1 does not have a HAM file, it might be easier to make freescent for D1. Also, guess I *can* edit D1 PIG files. And HOG files (note the font!) (EDIT: this is an old image - see below!) EDIT: Allright, Descent 1 texture and soundset is DONE. I really do not like doubleposting.
Anyways, looks like the progress I have done yesterday might have been done a tad too quickly, as according to the Descent 1.40a PIG files also contain the robot models. Biggish problem being that no tool to extract and insert the robot models from these files exists yet. Thus, the file I have uploaded yesterday is *not* free, and I guess I'll have to remove it sometime tomorrow.

Now, if I want to continue Freescent for Descent 1 (Freescent for Descent 2 is halted until I find a way to edit the HAM file properly) I'll have to figiure out how to extract those files, and put them back into, the PIG file. Big problem being that through hexediting my freescent pig file, and reading the format on I can *not* find the robot model data as described on that page.

Anyone willing to shed a light on this not-so-fortunate event? I fear that all my work on the datafiles have been for naught, as I might never be able to release these files, unless I get permission to distribute non-free data freely by whoever owns the original Descent files. De Skins Para Ulaunchelf Tutorial. :/. Allright, uploaded the Freescent1 HOG file: Does not contain any singleplayer missions, so get your own!
Note that descent 1 (under the Rebirth engine) only requires a HOG and a PIG file. However, due to the robots apparantly being in the PIG file, Freescent 1 is not complete yet. I'll further look into the robots-inside-pig-file issue and try to get a proper release done sometimes. Questions I currently have: -Are robot models stored inside the PIG file (D1)? -Is any other data (physics, general values, behaviour, etc) other than sound/textures stored inside the PIG file (D1)? EDIT: I'd be grateful if you didn't distribute the released files to your friends just yet, because of the not-exactly-sureness of the legality of these files.
