The PoP1 Total Pack uses mods with the DOS format, it automatically downloads packages from popot.org.salvadorc17 wrote:Can you tell me how are stored the levels in Total Pack, those use DOS format??
A PoP1 for SNES Total Pack does not (yet) exist.
I don't understand what you mean, apoplexy can only export and import DOS XML.salvadorc17 wrote:should i convert all them with apoplexy??
Off-topic, I was wondering about your usage of double question marks (??).salvadorc17 wrote:??
I saw on GitHub that you're from Colombia, which, I think, makes your native language Spanish.
Are the double question marks a replacement for ¿...?
Or maybe it's just something you use to emphasize the sentence is a question?

Yes, the double ?? is for emphasize the sentence..

Okay, I think I understand what you're trying to do.salvadorc17 wrote:Yes i was talking about how to allow use total pack for snes, should i convert to apoplexy levels, after to snes format? or what to do.
Here's what I think might be a good path for you to take:
Pr1SnesLevEd has a File menu with "Export level..." and "Import level...".
Those menu entries export and import compressed levels.
A good start might be to ask David to add two additional menu entries, to export and import uncompressed levels.
Once you have that, you can export a SNES level in uncompressed format.
Then, search for "Parts of the level:" on the SNES format wiki page.
This should allow you to understand the uncompressed level that Pr1SnesLevEd exported.
This won't be easy, of course; you'd have to study the exported level with, for example, a hex editor.
Once you understand the uncompressed level files, you should be able to create new level files that Pr1SnesLevEd can import.
Finally, you could make a program to convert apoplexy XML to the SNES uncompressed level format.

Yes, i have partially readed snes format in my tool, but seems those are uncompressed levels, also what i need to know is how to handle with custom levels.dat from the total pack, converting those to apoplexy or there is anything else to do?Norbert wrote:

Those work with uncompressed levels only, and this is how it always been.Norbert wrote: Pr1SnesLevEd has a File menu with "Export level..." and "Import level...".

You didn't look inside the exported files, did you?
