Camera Properties Crash 2/3

 First camera item

Property 0x109: path links 

This property contains information about which (neighbouring) paths and zones the current path is linked with. It consists of 4-byte words, with the 'path beginning/ending' as the main building block.

The property can have different lengths and formats depending on the type of situation. A path can begin where another one ends/end where another begins, be the very end/beginning of the level or converge from/split up in muliple paths.

Path beginning/ending

MMZZPP**

• MM = begin/end flag, 01 is for beginnings, 02 for endings
• ZZ = (neighbouring) zone index where this path begins if (MM=01) / ends if (MM=02)
• PP = (neighbouring) zone's path index where this path begins if (MM=01) / ends if (MM=02)
• ** = unknown; (neighbouring) zone's path's point index where this path begins if (MM=01) / ends if (MM=02) ?

Type 1 and 2: (first word == 1)

Type 1: path with single end and beginning (MM second word == 00) 

00000001 0000CCCC 01ZZPP** 02ZZPP**

• CCCC = count of path points - 1

Type 2: path with single beginning (MM second word == 01) 

00000001 01ZZPP**

Type 3 and 4: (first word !== 1)

Type 3: path with single end (CCCC == pathcount) 

CCCC0001 02ZZPP**

• CCCC = count of path points - 1

Type 4: path with multiple endings/beginnings (CCCC !== pathcount) 

EEEEBBBB CCCC0000 EEEE x [01ZZPP**] BBBB x [02ZZPP**] 

• EEEE = count of endings
• BBBB = count of beginnings
• CCCC = count of path points - 1
