This is great, now new minors can actually be added without replaceing old ones, well done man

( viewtopic.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1599 )

I've split the discussion of minors off to this topic:-

sorry Jigalypuff I don't understand... the minors are hard coded into the trek.exe game however there is a spare 13 bit in the race bit map so an extra 13 minors might be possible check out structure Offset 0x0068 to 0x006F in edifice.bst

I have added new minors in the past but could never add new structures. The minor attitudes are also an issue. I will try to do this tommorow and if succesfull shall post the results here

DCER told me that minor attitudes are stored somewhere in aiminor.wtf if that helps

I'm just gonna list a few things to change here (including trek.exe)

1. Race.rst - this is reonably understood so should not present many problems see here viewtopic.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopi ... inor#20640

2. Aiminor.wtf - anyone got a concise description of this file?

3. I thought the list would be longer befor i got to trek.exe :~

0x1746e8 asm_5768e8 there is a list of the major and minor names (in my trek.exe only 72 bytes spare for new minor names ie 72 letters (maybe 6-10 new minors if thrifty with sort names)

0x189440 asm_58B640 35x 4bytes offsets no spare code space for new minors after this you might get 9x4byte befor the code at asm_4081AC would therefor need to be adapted? this is part of sub_4080F0

thanks tethys -- sadly it looks like asm_58b640 is gonna be the stumbling block as there is (maybe) space for 9 new minors (assuming) the 36 bytes (00) are not being used for someother purpose! but again this will require a rewrite of the offset at asm_4081AC

afaik if we do get more minors in to BotF then we'll need to analise loads of FD's and FF03's (30's & 35's) (and maybe 29/31 & 34/36's)

nIne is always better then nOne so keep that in mind
