Default Re: Looking for an OOB editor - KobHack

Looks like I redo one of my OOB editors.
There is a field on the KOB files called "SYMBOL"., It is an unsigned char and occurs as a block of 250bytes straight after the unit name block.
In some units the value of "SYMBOL" matches the icon number in others its different.
I was trying to work out what this field, "SYMBOL" actually did.

The game came with a really basic editor called EDITMBT.

I have the source code for an OOB editor that will read in a KOB file and save it as a CSV, read the CSV and save it as a KOB, but as its based on SPWAW/SPWW2/SPMBT there are a few changes I have to make, which I did not want to do.. Being lazy here.

If you can give me some idea what that SYMBOL block really means would help.

Thanks
