daro48 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi, maybe it is not something new but i have found a way to create xmb files. What xmb has inside? Those files have nothing more like just hexadecimal description of xml files, I think the game makers did it to enhance game performance, but i'm not sure. When I was creating my last map, i created xmb files and removed all xml (well almost all world_info stay where it was). I was really surprised when the map started without any problem But i didn't noticed any changes in mission speed. The bad thinkg is that someone, who will have a pressure to look inside map scripts, will see only 00 ad a1 00 bb and that kind of things. How to gnerate those: Inside: C:\Program Files\UBISOFT\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is a file called: context-editor.xml inside this file is code: <!-- Set all compile flags to false when running bundled version --> <compile xml="false" scripts="false" mopps="false" texture_db="false"/> </context> do exactly contrary to description (set all on true) and you will have texture_db - which you will have to remove because it will generate filename issue at game start, you will have props xmb files generated automatically - which you will have to remove because of game crashing (at_mine f. ex. after detonate a mine my game crashed) and all xml files converted to xmb xD I don't think if someone of you will use it, but i think it is interesting to post here Cheers, Daro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 xmb files are compressed xml files. they make things load faster basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTC02 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I think there is a way to generate the XMB files when you create the bundle file, never tried it though. TBH, unless you have some huge scripts (never had any problems with 3000+ lines in mine) I don't think that we would notice any difference in performance between the XML and the XMB files.
