Lemmings Revolution file formats

[ccexplore]

Starting a thread to capture all information currently known about file formats for the Lemmings Revolution game, in the same vein as what we documented for a few other Lemmings games in the series.  Interest in Revolution may be low, but then again so are games like L3, but we currently know more about that game's file formats than Revolution.  That should change at some point in the future.

Information given on this thread are not guaranteed 100% accurate, but should be pretty good, and will be updated with corrections if any are reported.

We start off with the BOX file format, which is just a way to package a set of files in a directory tree into a single file, without any compression.  Yeah, not sure why they did that, but they did.   Attached text file is same info as below, just for convenience.

Lemmings Revolution (PC) BOX format
  documented by ccexplore
 
For some reason, Lemmings Revolution packs most of its data files into a single
large BOX file, instead of simply letting them live as individual files in
individual directories.  There isn't even any compression going on inside BOX
files. Go figure.
 
The format is really simple though.
 
Sidenote: the "Dragon unPACKer" program (as of version 5.6.2 [build 268]) has
major bugs in its extraction code for BOX files. It produces the correct
directory listing, but does not correctly associate each file entry with the
correct set of bytes in the BOX file, at least when I tried it on the files on
my game CD.
 
----------------
BOX format
----------------
 
[NOTE: per Intel convention, all integers are little-endian, meaning that
 a 4-byte hexadecimal integer 0xdeadbeef is stored in bytes as
 0xef, 0xbe, 0xad, 0xde.]
 
Header Info (14 bytes)
0x0000-0x0005: "LEMBOX"
0x0006-0x0009: 4-byte integer, number of files N
0x000A-0x000D: 4-byte integer, offset from first byte after the header to File
               Locations table
 
File Directory (variable size)
0x000E:  N filename entries (variable size), each entry as follows:
        0x00-0x03: 4-byte integer, length L of text string following
        0x04: L bytes in 8-bit ASCII, name of file (including path), no
              0-termination
 
File Locations table (variable size)
        0x00-0x03: 4-byte integer, number of table entries N' (should be equal
                   to N)
        0x04: N' table entries
              each entry is a 4-byte integer, offset from start of BOX file to
              first byte of contents of the file
 
File Lengths table (variable size)
        0x00-0x03: 4-byte integer, number of table entries N" (should be equal
                   to N)
        0x04: N" table entries
              each entry is a 4-byte integer, length of file (in bytes)
 
remainder of BOX file are the bytes for the individual files contained within
 
----------------
Example
----------------
 
Suppose we want to capture the following files in the directory tree below into
a BOX file:
 
AFILE.EXT        (file contents: 0x42)
DIR1\FILE1.ZZZ   (file contents: 0xde 0xad 0xbe 0xef 0xde 0xad 0xbe 0xef)
DIR1\2ND.MMM     (file contents: 0xab 0xcd 0xef)
D2\SD3\Y.CD      (file contents: 0xac 0xdc)
 
Below is one possible encoding. "One possible" because the ordering of files
can be anything--files under the same subdirectory do not have to come up
in consecutive table entries in the BOX file, as demonstrated in the example
encoding below.
 
Similarly, the contents of each file may not necessarily come in the same order
as the file ordering in the tables, because the File Locations table provides
direct offsets into the BOX file for each file's contents, theoretically allow
you to place the contents of each file in any order consistent with the offsets
and lengths given in the tables. That said, in the BOX files from the game, I
think the file contents do come in the same order as the files do in the tables.
 
Resulting BOX file, viewed in hex editor:

Mod Edit: Restored attachments.

While GuyPerfect is sorting out the bmp compression in a portable manner, here are some tools one can use on Windows at the moment to try to extract and decompress files from the BOX.  They are not user friendly at all since both my time and general demand is pretty low.  If you never used this thing called a "command prompt", then wait for someone else to extract some files for you instead.

example usage:

Code: [Select]

unbox c:\foo\bar\lemmings.box c:\output
Unpack everytyhing in c:\foo\bar\lemmings.box into c:\output folder, preserving the folder structure stored in lemmings.box.  No file decompression is done.

Code: [Select]

lrdecomp c:\output\textures\main_logo.bmp c:\output\textures\main_logo-D.bmp
Decompresses c:\output\textures\main_logo.bmp and save decompressed data to c:\output\textures\main_logo-D.bmp.

Invalid/incorrect parameters just result in nothing happening.  Only works on compressed files, anything else will just crash program.  AFAIK any files with .BMP extension in BOX are compressed (and decompresses to the MS BMP bitmap file format), everything else aren't.

Done! Also, where is your source code, mister? D-:<
__________

I'll have a write-up of the bitmap compression algorithm in this thread at some point tomorrow, but for now here's a fully-functional decompressor.

A compiled EXE of this is attached to this post, and the format is the same as ccexplore's utility:

Code: [Select]

lrz <infile> <outfile>
Where infile is a compressed .bmp from the Lemmings Revolution BOX file and outfile is the desired name of the uncompressed file.

The source code is as follows, subject to improvements later on:

EDIT:
Fixed a bug with the error checking, where I was using a value that wasn't being helpful. (-:

If I did my job correctly, this should now be error-proof, so use any files you want and it won't crash.

The image files in Lemmings Revolution are somewhat misleadingly named ".bmp", since the files themselves are not actual Windows Bitmap files. However, the Lemmings files do represent Windows Bitmap files through a layer of compression.


The File Format

The file format is as follows:

Code: [Select]

File
=============================================================================
ChunkNum        UInt8      The number of chunks in the file
Chunks          Chunk[]    The data chunks
=============================================================================

Chunk
=============================================================================
Header          ChunkHeader    Describes how the chunk is encoded
Data            Byte[]         The compressed input data
=============================================================================

ChunkHeader
=============================================================================
PackedSize      UInt16     The total size of this chunk, including the header
UnpackedSize    UInt16     The size of the data this chunk represents
(Unknown)       UInt8      Value of unknown significance; usually (always?) 4
RawTree         BinTree    Binary tree for raw byte counts
LengthTree      BinTree    Binary tree for distance/length lengths
DistanceTree    BinTree    Binary tree for distance/length distances
=============================================================================

BinTree
=============================================================================
The lower 4 bits of the first byte indicates how many additional values need
to be read from the input. If the value is 0, no additional input is needed
as the binary tree will not be used. If it's greater than 0, then add 2 to it
and read that many more values.

The values themselves are in 4-bit increments starting with the high bits of
the byte that contained the count, followed by however many bytes are
necessary to encode the remaining 4-bit values. For each byte, the lower 4
bits are read first, followed by the higher 4 bits.

The last byte may have 4 bits of padding so that the next data begins on a
byte boundary.
=============================================================================
Since the compression algorithm's implementation was designed for 16-bit systems, chunks are limited to an unpacked size of 64 KB. For files larger than this, additional chunks are present and they are simply concatenated to form the decompressed file.


Binary Trees

UPDATE: Apparently the means by which these trees are stored in the file is called canonical Huffman code.

Each chunk header can define up to 3 binary trees that are used to more concisely encode numbers into the input data. Rather, the trees are stored in the data for decoding those concise numbers. The first tree is used when reading raw byte counts, the second for when reading distance/length lengths, and the third for when reading distance/length distances. More on those later.

Note: For the uninitiated, you can mask out the lower 4 bits of a value by performing a bitwise AND with the number 15.

The lower 4 bits of the first byte read for a binary tree indicates how many values are to be added to the tree, and those values describe how to construct that tree. These values are all 4 bits, and can be decoded with the following algorithm:

• Read a byte from the input into CURBYTE
• Copy the lower 4 bits of CURBYTE into COUNT
• If COUNT is 0
  • This binary tree will not be used
• Otherwise
  • Add 2 to COUNT
  • Create an array NIBBLES that contains COUNT elements, with the first element being at index 0 in the list
  • LOOP: Iterate X from 0 to COUNT - 1
    • If X is even, divide CURBYTE by 16 (or shift CURBYTE right by 4)
    • If X is odd, read the next byte from the input into CURBYTE
    • Copy the lower 4 bits of CURBYTE into NIBBLES[X]

For example, the byte string 22 31 03 will yield 4 nibbles: 2, 1, 3, 3 and the 0 is just padding.

The final structure of the binary tree is not known until all of the nibbles are processed. Note that any given node in a binary tree can either be a terminal node with a value, or a branching node that has two child nodes. These are the only two types of nodes that can exist in a binary tree, and the topmost node that connects everything else is called the root node.

Initially, the root node is set to be a branching node and its child nodes are of unknown type (in regards to terminal or branching). The root node is at the top of the tree, meaning it has no "depth" into the tree. For this documentation, I'll refer to this as having a "depth level" of 0. The two child nodes of the root node have a depth level of 1. If they have child nodes, their children will be at depth level 2 and so-on.

The initial tree looks like this:

Code: [Select]

Level 0    root
          0/  \1
Level 1   ?    ?
To determine the significance of these nodes, the list of nibbles is searched in order to find one where the nibble value is equal to the depth level of the node in question.

IMPORTANT: The order in which the nodes are considered is determined by the preorder traversal algorithm, where "left" corresponds with the 0 side (not the 1 side).

Consider the list of nibbles from earlier:

Code: [Select]

Nibble Value: 2 1 3 3
Nibble Index: 0 1 2 3
In this case, the first node of unknown significance is the root node's 0 child (according to preorder traversal), which is in depth level 1. Therefore, a nibble with a value of 1 is sought. There is one, so the nibble's index becomes the node's value--in this case also a 1--and the nibble is processed in such a way so that it will not be considered in future searches: it is effectively "crossed out."

At this point, the tree looks like this:

Code: [Select]

Level 0    root
          0/  \1
Level 1  (1)   ?

Nibble Value: 2 x 3 3
Nibble Index: 0 1 2 3
Note that the value of the nibble at index 1 has been crossed out.

When the list of nibbles is searched again for another nibble with a value of 1 (for the current depth level), none can be found because the only remaining nibbles contain 2, 3 and 3. In this situation, the node becomes a branching node and that node's 0 child is the next to be considered (according to the preorder traversal algorithm):

Code: [Select]

Level 0     root
           0/  \1
Level 1   (1)   @
              0/ \1
Level 2       ?   ?

Nibble Value: 2 x 3 3
Nibble Index: 0 1 2 3
The remainder of the nibbles and nodes are processed in the same manner--again, according to preorder traversal--and the remaining steps look like this:

Code: [Select]

      =Step 3=                =Step 4=                =Step 5=                 =Step 6=

Level 0     root        Level 0    root         Level 0    root          Level 0     root
           0/  \1                 0/  \1                  0/  \1                    0/  \1
Level 1   (1)   @       Level 1   (1)  @        Level 1   (1)  @         Level 1   (1)   @
              0/ \1                  0/ \1                   0/ \1                     0/ \1
Level 2      (0)  ?     Level 2     (0)  @      Level 2     (0)  @       Level 2      (0)  @
                                       0/ \1                   0/ \1                     0/ \1
                        Level 3        ?   ?    Level 3       (2)  ?     Level 3        (2) (3)

Nibble Value: x x 3 3   Nibble Value: x x 3 3   Nibble Value: x x x 3    Nibble Value: x x x x
Nibble Index: 0 1 2 3   Nibble Index: 0 1 2 3   Nibble Index: 0 1 2 3    Nibble Index: 0 1 2 3
Note: Nibbles need not define any values for a particular depth level. In fact, in most situations, level 1 will not contain any definitions and thus both of the child nodes of the root node themselves become branching nodes. It's important to stick to the preorder traversal algorithm and attempt to use the nibbles to assign values at each node, one step at a time.

Note: If a given nibble index doesn't need to appear in the binary tree as a node value, the nibble value at that index can be 0. Since a nibble specifying depth level 0 will never be searched for, this will effectively force that index to be skipped. For the same reason, nibbles can be "crossed out" by setting their values to 0.

Note: Data errors can easily make the tree impossible to construct. If, when searching, all of the nibbles have a value less than the current depth level, the process should be aborted before an endless loop and a memory leak occur.

Note: The process ordinarily terminates when there are no further nodes of unknown significance. In the event there are still remaining, "unused" nibbles, they are simply ignored.


The Compression Algorithm

The compression algorithm itself is a type of ROLZ that, in addition to encoding repeating strings of bytes in distance/length references (which is the technique used by LZ77), is able to reduce the size of literal numbers in the data by using a binary tree, presumably constructed with the Huffman technique. This particular implementation, however, is quite restrictive and will lose out over conventional compression algorithms for larger files. For the small data in Lemmings Revolution, however, this variant of ROLZ will generally out-perform DEFLATE, the algorithm used in ZIP files, for total compression ratio.

The general decompression algorithm looks like this:

• Initialize the decoder to the RAW state
• LOOP: Begin decoding until all output data is processed or an error occurs
  • If the current decoder state is RAW
    • Read a number from the input
    • Read that number of bytes (8 bit values) from the input to the output
  • If the current decoder state is COPY
    • Read a number from the input for LENGTH and add 2
    • Read a number from the input for DISTANCE and add 1
    • From the current position in the output buffer, start reading from DISTANCE bytes earlier and copy LENGTH bytes to the end of the output
  • Alternate decoder states: if it's RAW, switch to COPY and vice-versa

Note: It's totally valid for LENGTH to be greater than DISTANCE. All that means is that it will copy bytes that have already been copied during the current operation. When repeating a single byte many times, DISTANCE can just be 1 and LENGTH can be however many copies you want.


Reading Bits

For the purpose of reading bits from the input data, the first bit is the highest bit (2^7) of the first byte of the input data. The second bit is 2^6 and so-forth. The ninth bit will be the highest bit of the second byte, and this continues through the input data. For example:

• Input data (as hex): 9A 36 E3
• Input data (as bits): 10011010 00110110 11101011
• To read 3 bits will return 100
• To read another 4 bits will return 1101
• To read another 10 bits will return 0001101101

Reading Numbers

To "read a number from the input," as the algorithm above indicates, follows a particular convention. Numbers can be read in one of two ways, depending on whether or not there is a binary tree present for the purpose of the number being read (raw, length or distance). This is determined by the number of nibbles read for the tree: if the number was 0, then the tree is not present.

If no tree is present for the current purpose, then numbers are read entirely from the input and conform to a "normal" format.

If a tree is present for the current purpose, then the contents of that tree will dictate what bits are read from the input and what the value of the number will be.


The Normal Number Format

The Normal format for numbers is as follows:

• Initialize COUNT to 0
• LOOP: Begin reading bits from the input until the bit read is a 0
  • If the bit is a 1, increment COUNT
• Read an additional COUNT bits from the input into BITS
• The value of the number is 2 ^ COUNT - 1 + BITS

Note: If COUNT reaches 16 (perhaps 17?), then the data contains an error and the loop should be aborted. This isn't a violation of the format, per sé, but it will cause the 16-bit Lemmings Revolution implementation to overflow.


The Tree Number Format

The Tree format for numbers is as follows:

• Initialize NODE to the root node of the appropriate binary tree
• LOOP: Read 1 bit at a time from the input until NODE is a terminal node
  • If the bit is a 0, set NODE to its 0 child node
  • If the bit is a 1, set NODE to its 1 child node
• Copy the value of NODE into PARAM
• If PARAM is less than 2
  • The value of the number is PARAM
• Otherwise
  • Subtract 1 from PARAM
  • Read PARAM bits from the input into BITS
  • The value of the number is 2 ^ PARAM + BITS

Holy low-hanging fruit, Batman!

The .ALF file format... isn't really a format. It's just a layer of an image stored separately from the other layer. In detail, the .BMP images contain the RGB channels, and if there is a corresponding .ALF file with the same filename in the same directory, it will specify the alpha channel.

Pixels in an ALF file are stored left-to-right, top-to-bottom. This contrasts the Windows Bitmap, which stores pixels left-to-right, bottom-to-top. Each byte in the .ALF file represents a whole pixel, where the alpha value ranges from 0 (fully transparent) to 255 (fully opaque). As such, the total necessary size of any given .ALF file is the product of the pixel dimensions of its corresponding .BMP file (width * height * 1 byte per pixel).


__________

There's a naming convention in place where bitmap files that need to be processed with blending of some sort have a character stuck in front:

• ^ indicates there is a .ALF file present
• + is the same as ^? There's only one of these and it has a .ALF
• $ indicates any pixel with color value #404040 is transparent
• _ indicates any pixel with color value #000000 is transparent
• ~ indicates that the image uses additive blending

All other images are drawn without blending, or could be interpreted as images where every pixel has full opacity.



(Note that you can't create an alpha mask for additive blending. The above image is an approximation)

Note that these levels are not in the order they appear on the level select screen. This is just defining the levels as-is. Also note that "The high dive" is the last level defined, which may somewhat explain why that's the only level that crashes the game after a Typical install. (Note to guests: you can fix the crash by copying lemmings.box from the CD yourself after the installer does it wrong)

The ID strings are arbitrary and assigned by the developers, but we can glean some insights by looking at them. Some parts appear to be level numbers, some appear to be difficulty descriptors, and some appear to be creator initials. Not that it really matters, but might be interesting to look through.

I'll have to revise this later, because the order in the file doesn't line up precisely with the level select screen using any apparent uniform algorithm. The values of Unk3 and Unk4 might assist in placing these slots on the map.

RELEASERATE.PC file format:

Code: [Select]

File
=============================================
Rates           Rate[99]        Release rates
=============================================

Rate
=============================================
Unk1            UInt3           Unknown value
Unk2            Float           Unknown value
=============================================
I don't really know what precisely these values represent, but it's apparent from the game and the number of entries that they affect the time delay between Lemming entry for various release rate settings.

The floats are encoded as 32-bit IEEE-754 values.

Whatever the case, we don't need to mess with this file when producing a level editor.

Egads, I've proven myself wrong. The .WAV files, while ordinary Microsoft Wave files, are in fact uncompressed PCM. Further details are in the file headers, though I suspect they all match the title music, which is 22050 hz, mono, 16-bit signed.

[mobius]

Isn't it odd there's a bunch of "blank" levels in there. In between real ones no less. I wonder if these were levels they made and couldn't fit into the game  .
Or (morel likely) They're probably just blank level templates they made for all the levels before they started designing each individual level. If that's the case, that may give you good insight into how the levels themselves are made.

anyway, great work so far!

Next up is the .LTX file:

Code: [Select]

File
===========================================================================
Count           UInt32          Number of strings in this file
Offsets         UInt32[]        Count starts of string data
Strings         Byte[]          Remainder of file--CP-1252, null-terminated
===========================================================================
Strings are stored in Windows Code Page 1252, which was the default character set on Windows 95. The lower 128 values are identical to ASCII, though the higher 128 values are used for western European ideographs and diacritical marks.

There are six such files, one for English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. All of them have the same number of entries, suggesting that the entries in each are parallel to each other--effectively allowing translation between multiple languages.

Processed output:

Obviously, I haven't investigated this too thoroughly. Most of the values in the file have unknown significance, but I wanted to get the file structure documented.

Nothing appears to be vanilla ST texture coordinates, but besides that and timing information there can't be much in there. Maybe if someone's bored they can look through it a little closer.

Sorry to leave you guys hanging, but I wanted to get through all the other file formats first before looking into the .LVL format. And this post documents the last of those, the .JBF file.

There's only one of these: TEXTURES\SHEETS\PSPBRWSE.JBF

Turns out this isn't actually a Lemmings Revolution file. Have you ever been browsing a ZIP file or something that you made and noticed that mysterious thumbs.db file that seems to have come out of nowhere? Well, this is almost exactly the same thing. The .JBF files are, or at one point were, produced by Paint Shop Pro to accelerate file browsing. They include thumbnails for images in a directory and presumably some other information on the file such as their dimensions and formats. I didn't look into it since I didn't really care--I was too anxious to rip it open and see if we could get a candid glimpse of some pre-release material that they never intended for the end user to see.

Well... not so much. The file appears to be recent as of the time the game was packaged for release--it contains thumbnails for all the final image files in TEXTURES\SHEETS\ and nothing more. Ah well. I'll take what I can get. Kinda funny that we have it, though. Somebody forgot to exclude it from the CD (or rather, from the .BOX file).

That "junk" region really does appear to just be 1008 bytes of nothing in particular. It's got some string remnants floating about, though:

• 168)

• Magic Wand

• nsed vrsion. You are on day 7 of your 30 day evaluation period.
• DRIVE 2l: 256 x 255 x 256 - (67

And the thumbnails aren't even all that good-looking. They're JPEGs with some pretty terrible compression going on:

So the guy I was working with on the compression algorithm was able to locate a name for the way the binary trees are stored as lists of numbers: canonical Huffman code. The article even uses the list 2, 1, 3, 3 as its example. (-:

Attached to this post is a new version of the LRZ utility with a working compressor, but it's slow. It's doing about the least efficient search possible for dictionary matches and while it's a well-traveled road speeding that up, it's not one I'm terribly familiar with. Fortunately, there's just one little function in the program that's imposing a bottleneck, so making that more efficient will make the entire program run faster.

The encoder does not make use of the binary trees. I'm not prepared to implement an algorithm that uses them; not without weeks of studying it.

It also occurs to me after examining the multi-language text strings that this game was at one point likely to have been in development for the Sony Playstation. I remember reading about how there was a PC demo for the game and Sony made the decision that the game would not see a PC release... well, enter Talonsoft to do the publishing work. I think that self-playing tutorial really existed, but nowadays there's no triangle button to exit out of it.

LEVELMAP.DAT file format:
"String 112
  EN = Click and hold on the balloon^to speed up time"

  this possibly explains something I've been wondering about (I thought it was a glitch)...

if you hover over the balloon notice the cursor changes. And If you try to scroll with right mouse button when your over the balloon, it doesn't work and your mouse moves like when your on top of the entrance (and you change the RR instead of scrolling)
[it makes a little more sense after reading that they apparently changed quite a bit before the game's release especially if they were gonna make it for the playstation] but clicking on the balloon to speed up? I'm glad they changed that.

I would love to see that self playing tutorial 
in the instruction booklet (which I have since lost...) there's a complete walkthrough for the level "Now Your stalking"

While I'm at it, the .BOX format (with some revisions since the time ccexplore documented it):

Code: [Select]

File
==============================================================================
Identifier      String*6        ASCII "LEMBOX"
NameCount       UInt32          Number of filename strings *
NamesSize       UInt32          Size of filename data
Names           Filename[]      NameCount elements within NamesSize bytes
OffsetCount     UInt32          Number of file offsets *
Offsets         UInt32[]        Offsets of files from the beginning of the BOX
SizeCount       UInt32          Number of file sizes *
Sizes           UInt32[]        Lengths of packed files
Data            Byte[]          Remainder of file--packed file data
==============================================================================
* NameCount, OffsetCount and SizeCount must all match

Filename
==============================================================================
NameSize        UInt32          Size of the filename string
Filename        String          NameSize bytes--ASCII, not null-terminated
==============================================================================
It's worth noting that there is no implied directory structure within the .BOX file. All filenames have their full paths prepended, which is rather inefficient use of storage space...

And last but not least, I've compiled a set of documents for all file formats up to this point in the thread, as well as information on the .BMP compression algorithm and naming convention.

The .LVL files are going to be the most complex, so I'll be starting another thread for those to work out the details. This thread should be reserved for merely documenting the format once it's figured out.

Attached to this post is a ZIP file containing the documents in question.
