If you are interested, since I have no other major projects at the moment, we could help each other out and possibly create a well-designed program that would manipulate line rider files. If you are interested, email me at webmaster@13willows.com with your AIM, Yahoo, or MSN and we can chat more there.

I've just started fiddeling around with an editor for Line Rider myself. The usability of the Line Rider itself is not great, it takes forever to design a cool track. People out there, with too much time on their hands, managed to create some really cool tracks using Line Rider itself. I figured if I designed a half assed editor and put it out there, imagine the tracks those people could come up with. And I could just sit back with a beer and watch them on youtube : By the way about the "Weird" indices. Not so weird afterall. The first two byes are the string length for the ASCII representation of the index (not including terminating zero). 00 01 30 is simply: short Len = 1; char Index[] = "0" Hasta la vista /Line Rider addict Hey, great post it saved me A LOT of time.

00 01 30 is simply:
short Len = 1;
char Index[] = “0″

I figured that the first 4 numbers in the line point array would be the x- and y-values for start and end of a line. But there is a 5th number in that array. Sometimes it is zero, but not always. Any idea what it is?? Thanx by the way for mentioning that the numbers are stored in Big Endian: solves some problems :-) Hey, I’ve been trying to write a tool as you did.

And your program is pretty cool Lee! Still a few bugs to catch though, with the directory choosing, but apart from that, it works really well. Graphics in .Net are notorious for being dodgy though, I had similar problems creating a graphing app once. If you're interested, their is a wrapper available for .Net to work with OpenGL... I found it quite effective, I could send you the dll's if u want. Your curve creator is a Brilliant idea! I was thinking you should make it so that, if you want you can create curves atrting anywhere, not just at the last point you left off. Also, what would be cool, is if you could construct the parabolas based on the gradient of the line it starts off being connected to, sort of like quadratic spline interpolation. I've messed around with a couple formulas and found some to define a parabola based on just the starting point, an initial gradient, the final gradient and the length of the curve; or the starting point, the initial gradient and the end point. I wouldn't mind making an editor myself, but I dont have much time, and I figured you've already got so far. Good luck... and well done. Its looking good Great work done on the editor so far guys..

I think you might have your endianesses muddled ;) I'm pretty sure those 8 byte integers are stored in little endian order (least significant byte first).... otherwise those integers are both really large and amazingly all multiples of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64... I'm sure you get my drift =) ps… I think you might have your endianesses muddled ;)
