BZS

BZS files contain the main logic for stages, using a tree-like layout (TODO). Stages and rooms are handled in seperate files, so the nodetypes differ slightly.

Stage:

• 'LYSE' (defines the mapping of storyflags/daytime -> layer)
• 'STIF' (defines some stage information, such as default cull distance)
• 'RMPL' (roomplan? something to do with what rooms to load in other rooms)
• 'PCAM'
• 'LYLT' (defines what cinematic cutscene to play on certain layers)
• 'LAY ', contains 29 layers, can also have subnodes:
  • 'OBJN' (defines which actors code to load, used for loading rels)
  • 'ARCN' (defines all the arcs used by actors, not sure if it's actually used)
  • 'OBJ ' (normal objects)
  • 'OBJS'
  • 'SOBJ' (scaled objects)
  • 'DOOR'
  • 'STAG'

Room:

• 'OBJN'
• 'ARCN'
• 'FILE'
• 'SCEN' (defines the next entrance to load when triggering an exit)
• 'CAM '
• 'PATH' (paths are a collections of points)
• 'PNT ' (points in a path)
• 'BPNT' (special points? B for bezier?)
• 'SPTH'
• 'SPNT'
• 'AREA' (defines spaces, that can then used by actors to see if link is in them)
• 'EVNT' (actor events, used to trigger zev events)
• 'PLY ' (might mean 'PLAYER'? entrances, defines the position where to spawn)
• 'SOBJ'
• 'STAG'
• 'LAY ', contains 29 layers, can have subnodes:
  • 'OBJN'
  • 'ARCN'
  • 'OBJS' (actors that are also spawned if this room is inactive)
  • 'OBJ ' (actors that only spawn if this room is active)
  • 'SOBJ' (scaled objects)
  • 'STAS'
  • 'STAG' (tags)
  • 'SNDT' (sound tag)
