yeah you are probably right with the DMO files ( demo my guess hahaha )
There could be a hidden game recorder in the original M.A.X.
Too see that feature in MAX R would be nice ;D

Subject: Re: max file formats I am not a deveploper nor I have any skillz with sources, but as far as I know, all formats should be known...maaybe not DMO, but Fon is the same like from fallout ( afaik! ) and other interplay games... good luck man |

Subject: Re: max file formats Yeah, just nobody seems to have a description of the formats. I did find a .fon editor and display program, but nothing on WRL and nothing specific on RES, much less DMO (I take it it's the intro demo data file)... |

Subject: Re: max file formats To be honest, I've been having difficulty understanding the MAXR code and was pondering making my own... but it doesn't seem conceptually difficult to create a game recorder. |

Subject: Re: max file formats sorry, all written down documentation about the file formats is the source code. a game recorder should be easy to implement. The recorder have to save all net messages, incoming on the server and add a time stamp to each message. |

Subject: Re: max file formats We had some contact with Gus Smedstad, but he wasnt a big help...and that was at least 1-2 years ago. So well, even if you could find someone from the MAX Dev Team, dont expect too much ( like I did ) |

Subject: Re: max file formats Smedstad is somewhat easy to find... I also attempted David Boulanger (at least, I hope it's the same guy); we'll see if he writes back. Ali Atabek is unlisted, but apparently lives in Torrance, CA... |
