Ok, well a bunch of guys already knows how this format works but they won't give away their fuckin lil secret... so I gotta find it out myself... what a poor community.
This is what I know so far:
Each BIN file starts with a 8-bytes header. Then follows a list of zero-terminated strings which contain the names of each class in the .cpp file. Within each class there're further zero-terminated strings for each parameter, followed by 4-bytes values (prolly float, but so far I failed to load them properly, maybe they have MSB/LSB swapped) encoding the value of each parameter. There's NO COMPRESSION at all, so hacking this file format should be pretty straight forward.
I'm going to write a patch tool in VC++/VB which allows addon makers to patch both the ADDON folder and resource.bin so they can add custom dialogs, texts, pictures and effects to their creations. brbseb is working on a RAH-66 Comanche and I made a working cockpit MFD with functional menues, buttons 'n stuff for it, thats what I need it for.
