NWN2 TRN.ASWM packet structure

Thibaut CHARLES - CromFr@gmail.com

Packet

TRN.ASWM packets are used to store the walkmesh information in TRN and TRX files.

The packet itself is stored as is:

Type Name Description
char[4] data_type Always COMP for compressed walkmesh
uint32_t compressed_data_size Size of compressed_data
uint32_t uncomp_length Uncompressed walkmesh size
void[compressed_data_size] compressed_data zlib-compressed walkmesh data

Uncompressed walkmesh data can be retrieved using zlib.deflate. The following structure information are for the uncompressed walkmesh data.

TRN/TRX

TRN.ASWM is slightly different weather it is stored in a TRX or TRN file. Generally, the TRX version is smaller as it has to be downloaded/loaded by the client, and contains the baked version of the walkmesh (with placeable walkmesh/walkmesh cutter alterations).

  • TRN version:
    • The whole map is stored, but no information on placeable walkmeshes nor walkmesh cutters
  • TRX version:
    • Baked counterpart of the TRN version
    • Border megatiles are not stored. Only the map center is stored.
    • Triangles cut by a "walkmesh cutter" are not stored (creates holes in the mesh)
    • Placeable walkmeshes modifications appears

Data blocks

Offsets are for a newly created exterior area of size 4x4

Offset Data type Name Description
0x000000 Header header Header
0x000035 Vertex[header.vertices_count] vertices Vertex list
0x02AE81 Junction[header.junctions_count] junctions Junction list
0x0D4981 Triangle[header.triangles_count] triangles Triangle list
0x296981 ??? unknown1_block No idea what it is ?
0x2BB038 END of file

Header struct (53 bytes)

Values are for a newly created exterior area of size 4x4

Type Value Name Description
uint32_t version
char[32] name
uint8_t owns_data
uint32_t 14641 vertices_count
uint32_t 43440 junction_count
uint32_t 28800 triangles_count
uint32_t 0 triangles_offset Seems to be always 0
Notes
  • unknownA seems to be always the same for exterior areas, ie: 0x6C_00_00_00_4B_28_92_00_B0_FC_12_00_66_2C_92_7C_FF_FF_FF_FF_18_EE_90_7C_00_8E_91_7C_B8_02_15_00_FA_8D_91_7C_01

Work in progress, still unknown...

Vertex struct (12 bytes)

Type Description
float[3] x/y/z coordinates of the vertex

Junction struct (16 bytes)

Type Description
uint32_t[2] Vertex indices
uint32_t[2] Attached triangle indices. -1 if a triangle does not exist.
Notes
  • The struct defines a junction between two triangles, with the shared edge.
  • Every triangle seems to be referenced in 3 of these structs, so basically every triangle side has its Junction struct.
  • Exact use is unknown, but:
    • Might be used to set non-walkable lines on the walkmesh, but no case were found.
    • Might also be used for pathfinding.

Triangle struct (64 bytes)

Type Name Description
uint32_t[3] vertices Vertex indices composing the triangle
uint32_t[3] linked_junctions Junction indices corresponding to this triangle edges
uint32_t[3] linked_triangles Triangle indices that have an edge in common with this triangle. -1 is there is no triangle on one.
float[2] center Triangle center x/y coordinates
float[3] normal Normal vector
float unknownA ???
uint16_t microtileId -1 if the triangle is non walkable (only map borders in TRN files), else it is a microtile ID (1 microtile = 6*6 quads/72 triangles, 4 microtiles makes a tile, 16 microtiles makes a megatile)
uint16_t flags Walkmesh flags
Walkmesh flags
  • 0b0000_0000_0000_0001: walkable flag (1 if walkable)
  • 0b0000_0000_0000_0010: Unknown (no use case found)
  • 0b0000_0000_0000_0100: if the triangle is drawn clockwise (0 if counter clockwise)
  • 0b0000_0000_0000_1000: Dirt flag
  • 0b0000_0000_0001_0000: Grass flag
  • 0b0000_0000_0010_0000: Stone flag
  • 0b0000_0000_0100_0000: Wood flag
  • Other bits are unused
microtileId & walkable flag
  • In TRN files:
    • Map border megatiles triangles have microtileId=-1 and walkable flag set to 0
    • Bakeable triangles (map center) have a valid microtileId (ie: != -1), and the walkable flag set to 1/0 if the triangle is meant to be walkable/non walkable.
  • In TRX files:
    • Map borders are not stored
    • Non walkable triangles have microtileId=-1 and walkable flag set to 0
    • Triangles cut by a "walkmesh cutter" are not stored
Notes
  • For the raw map:
    • unknownA is always 0 (or -0)
  • For the icy peak map
    • -498.294 ==> 475.229
