ActorInfo.product.sbyml

This file is not listed in the game's resource size table.

ActorInfo.product.sbyml (found in the Actor directory) is a Yaz0-compressed BYML file which contains general information about all actors in the game. It is used when constructing actors, and also used to access actor data efficiently when loading the full actor pack is unnecessary (e.g. on menu screens). Therefore, in order to add new actors, or to change items' parameters on menu screens, this file must be edited.

ActorInfo is a machine generated file. It is not meant to be edited directly; much of the information it includes are either automatically generated or copied from ActorParam files (which can be found in the game content) and other source-only files.

Actors

Actors is an array of dictionaries. It must be sorted in the same order as the Hashes section.

Each actor has its own entry in this array. Each entry has several properties, based on the actor's profile. The following is a list of valid entries for any profile. Any single profile will not require all of these properties.

Key Type Description Source
aabbMax float Defines the maximum point for the axis-aligned bounding box (AABB) - the most-positive value on each axis that any of the actor's model's vertices inhabits. These values may (and probably do) come from three different vertices.


Can be altered to change the distance for AttentionClients like "Talk", "Examine", etc. to appear.

sbfres, vertex coordinates
aabbMin float Defines the minimum point for the axis-aligned bounding box (AABB) - the most-negative value on each axis that any of the actor's model's vertices inhabits. These values may (and probably do) come from three different vertices.


Can be altered to change the distance for AttentionClients like "Talk", "Examine", etc. to appear.

Hashes

Hashes is an array of CRC32 hashes of actor names.

This array must be sorted because ActorInfoData performs a binary search on this array to find actor entries efficiently. As a direct consequence the actor array must be sorted according to the CRC32 hashes of the actor names.

Similar to tag values, each number is stored as an unsigned int if it is greater than 0x80000000 and as a signed int otherwise.
