So I've updated to using Dropbox - this file will now automagically update whenever it does!

I've been wondering how you figured out all this. I looked at it myself and can't make heads or tails of it without a guide... do you just take bits of code and modify them to see what's what?

[Xenesis]

Yeah, pretty much. The order of stuff is very random and my notes are quite disorganised.

When I was starting out I'd just modify things to figure crap out, now I modify specific things to see what they do and what subroutines and the like they have/belong to.

Why not break into the IS headquarters and rob them of their archives?

Link seems to be dead now.

Darn, I'll have to fix it when I have access to my home computer again.

Edit: Should still work now - Although I've changed the forum post so there's no chance it'll clip the URL.

It says the link is disabled :v

[Xenesis]

Try now. Apparently it was a security thing and all old links had to be deleted and recreated.

Also, I put all three notes files in the same topic now.

[Jezuree]

Thanks!

My AW2 notes was getting too unwieldy as a single document, I've started splitting it into three files. The first is the mess you all probably know and loathe, the second is where I've added various scripts with notes/locations/whatevers and the last is the list of subroutines/routines that I've found in the game.

It's a work in progress, as you'd still expect.

I also linked my rather spartan AW1 notes. AW1 and AW2 share an incredibly large number of directly analogous code.

The AW2 General Notes aren't accessible anymore on Dropbox.

Thanks for the heads up, I've replaced it.

Might as well post about it here, the AWDS file has a mistake. Under “Unit Entries in Ram: 0xE Long” the list starting from 0x3 is wrong, it should be something like this instead:

0x2: X Co-ordinate
0x3: Y Co-ordinate
0x4: Transported Unit 1
0x5: Transported Unit 2
0x6 - 0x7: HP, Ammo and capture. bit0-7 = HP, bit 8-10 = Ammo, bit 11-15 = Current Capture
0x8: Fuel
0x9: ??? I don’t know what this is
0xA - 0xD: Unknown, probably AI Commands
