Reverse dvorak key mapping

' -> - , -> w . -> v p -> l y -> f f -> u g -> i c -> j r -> p l -> n / -> z = -> ] \ -> \
a -> a o -> r e -> . u -> g i -> c d -> e h -> d t -> y n -> b s -> o - -> [
: -> s q -> ' j -> h k -> t x -> q b -> x m -> m w -> , v -> k z -> ;
Say you want to map copy/paste to mouse, we need the character that maps to c, so "ctrl-i" and "ctrl-."

Ejabberd xmpp setup 

stephen@localhost:~$ sudo ejabberdctl status
The node ejabberd@localhost is started with status: started
ejabberd 23.01-1 is running in that node
stephen@localhost:~$ sudo ejabberdctl register admin localhost password
  • http://host:5280/admin ❌ no automatic https redirect. Firefox will just say connection reset.
  • https://host:5280/admin ✅

If you don't have the domain in the hosts section, andoroid app "conversations" will say: "The server is not responsible for this domain"

If you don't have the ssl certificate for the domain, andoroid app "conversations" will say "Domain not verifiable" 

Aug 22 09:41:30 localhost sh[3317724]: 2024-08-22 09:41:30.400875-06:00 [warning] Invalid certificate in /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem: at line 29: self-signed certificate

"Invalid certificate" is not a helpful mesage. It still gets used. "No certificate found matching " domain. Needs a certificate, selfsigned is ok for "conversations". https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/ 


stephen@localhost:~$ openssl req -x509 -out localhost.crt -keyout localhost.key   -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256   -subj '/CN=localhost' -extensions EXT -config <( \
   printf "[dn]\nCN=localhost\n[req]\ndistinguished_name = dn\n[EXT]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:localhost\nkeyUsage=digitalSignature\nextendedKeyUsage=serverAuth")

stephen@localhost:~$ cat localhost.crt localhost.key > localhost.net.pem

stephen@localhost:~$ sudo mv localhost.pem /etc/ejabberd/

stephen@localhost:~$ sudo chmod o-r /etc/ejabberd/localhost.pem

stephen@localhost:~$ sudo chown root:ejabberd /etc/ejabberd/localhost.pem

add cert to ssl section, or /etc/ejabberd/*.pem

"conversations" pops up a accept self signed certificate dialog👍.

Thunderbird won't accept self-signed certificate, and won't import it since it is not attached to a root certificate.

xabber: success

gajim: success, but I had to use a self signed certificate on c-###-###-###-###.**.**.comcast.net

TODO: let's encript certificate for c-###-###-###-###.**.**.comcast.net

/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml Add a new port dedicated to /.well-known/acme-challenge with no tls. Don't want to expose /admin to the internet.

Dark Forces Agent Menu modify

Dark Forces Data->Cutscenes->AGENTMNU.LFD->AGENTDLG(ANIM)->1(DELT)

python ..\..\dftools-master\lfdtool.py AGENTMNU.LFD AGENTMNU

python ..\..\..\dftools-master\animtool.py AGENTMNU\AGENTDLG.ANM AGENTDLG

https://darkforces.reviews/database/specs/delt-lfd-resource-dlt-files

https://github.com/njankowski/dftools can decode, but not re-encode

D:\Games\TheForceEngine-v1.09.530\ModPrep\Dark Forces Data\Cutscenes\AGENTMNU\AGENTDLG>..\..\..\..\..\bmpdf\DF2.EXE /D AGENTDLG_1.DELT AGENTDLG_1.BMP ..\..\MENU\MENU.PLT
This version of D:\Games\TheForceEngine-v1.09.530\bmpdf\DF2.EXE is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher.

to dosbox

BMPDF\DF2.exe /D AGENTD~2.DEL 1.BMP

The actual image is offset by (4D 00, 3D 00) or (77, 61) I assume that is to center it on the 320x200 screen. DF2.exe encodes the top 77 and left 61 pixels as "transparent" or black or 0, while delt.py decodes all the tranparenet pixels transparent, with the actual image data centered in 319x187 png. We don't want to re-encode that blank spaces so crop it down at 77,61

edit the words img placeholder

BMPDF\2DF.exe /D 1e.BMP 1.DEL /0=0

ok, the bytes look a bit different, but mostly the same, but it is a different size

if we copy the header back over

Error: Invalid picture - out of bounds file: 1H.DEL

If we only edit the size, but leave offset to 0,0

Each line's StartX and StartY are likely relative to OffsX and OffsY. On the original, the top and bottom lines probably don't contain data for the rounded corners, and are likely short by 4 then 2 pixels.

... fires up vscode, delttool.py => delt.py, and sets some breakpoints. Yeah different sizes for lines, but also, portions of the line are compressed(not just per line, but sections of the line), so I can't just find the bits and alter them.

Ok, going back to 2DF.exe... tring 2DF.EXE /D /0=0 1.BMP 1ORIG.DEL, and it creates a DEL file that is slightly smaller than the original AGENTDLG_1.DELT. Decoding show the same as the input, so maybe it is just better compression?

Well animtool.py and lfdtool.py don't re-encode, So I'm sticking with dosbox, I guess.

df2.exe /D and 2df.exe /D were not what i need. 2df.exe /M

2df.exe /m AGENTDLG.txt

ANIM AGENTDLG.ANM 1
AGENTD1.BMP /0=0

2df.exe /m AGENTMNU.txt

LFD AGENTMNU.LFD 1
AGENTDLG.ANM

Now I have a single DELT in a single ANIM in an LFD. hopefully using this as a mod doesn't overwrite bits not present. didn't work. Maybe I need to pack it in a gob, maybe the engine doesn't load mods for the menu, IDK.

Force Engine - Mac data

Mac rendered at 640x480 apposed to Dos at 320xsomething

Maybe not 480, probably 400? Menu says 640x400...640x395 measured?

600x400 doubled pixels, so 300x200?

Anyway, 384x200 is "teensy":

Most parts are the same, but

  • the loading screen was 640x480
  • hud textures were double resolution 
  • weapons data stored in WEAPONS.GOB, but otherwise the same content
  • minor differences in levels
  • fonts smoother(extra Glowing!.fnt ?)
  • music same/different. music is stored in resource fork?
  • cutscenes: same except for AGENTMNU.LFD and MENU.LFD (font was upscaled, the button names were changed from "DOS" to "QUIT", and a mysterious widening of two parallel red lines.

 



The big changes below are not changes, just re-ordered arm1 <-> arm2 messages


Hotkeys, quit hotkey changed to qQ from dD

NARSHADA.O is missing an object(missing the remote sprite), and extra LOGIC: ANIM in nava card:



SECBASE.O only has an extra LOGIC: ANIM similar to the one in NARSHADA



TEXT.MSG is mac-ified:

The midi instruments are stored in instruments1,2, all in the resource fork(I think that is all that and menu/icon things are all the resource fork data):




instruments in 2 are roughly double the size of 1 so probably 16bit?

Stereo Panning? ... listens. It seems to work. dos version doesn't have an option for it, but it seems to work by default.

I don't know if there is a way to send the midi data out of the mac version, or if the instruments provided are all we get.

cutscenes (extracted with DF2.exe in dosbox, probably could have used lfdtool.py in win):

 

python ..\..\..\..\..\dftools-master\delttool.py AGENTDLG_11.DELT ..\AGENTMNU.PLT


MAC 324x182
Dos 323x188

I think I need some more context.

All the other AGENTDLG_##.DELT are just various menu ui bits, "are you sure you want to quit", "yes", "no" buttons and such.

oh it isn't a 'fnt' it is a 'font'

Gimp to the rescue
Mac - Dos

The mission briefing uses a different font:


Jan looks a bit smoother

Yep, some of those pixels have been al/tered.

I cant find the upscaled jan and mon mothma images. TFE looks like it is

s_menuActor = lactorAnim_load(bgAnim, &bounds, 0, 0, 0);

which does a:

sprintf(animName, "%s.ANIM", name);

name -> bgAnim ->  brief -> bgAnim -> &s_sharedState.briefingList.briefing[briefingIndex];

list gets loaded in with:
if (!parseBriefingList(&s_sharedState.briefingList, "briefing.lst"))

which is in DARK.GOB. I probably should have guess that,

LEV: SECBASE    LFD: dfbrief.lfd ANI: brf-mon PAL: brf-jan
DFBRIEF.LFD ... meld showed them as identical, but I'll check 'brf-mon' or 'brf-jan' or 'brf-nil'
brf-jan.anim -> brf-jan_0.DELT has the background, but it is the same as the dos version 311x200.

 

I'm still not sure where the extra pixels come from.
