List index out of range exception

[Nights87]

Hey,

I'm trying to load in a binary level from the decomp in this, and im getting a 'list index out of range' exception, inside get_u8 when accessing data[offset]

I'm loading in ancient lake, from the decomplication:
Decomplication\assets.vanilla\us.v77\levels\models\dino_domain\ancient_lake.bin

Looking at the code, we first get the u32 located at 0x00 which is the texture offset.

If i manually read the first 4 bytes of ancient_lake.bin i get 49644 in decimal in little endian, or 3972071424 in big endian.
The tool then uses this offset to read the subsequent texture data from.

But the ancient_lake.bin file is only 25kb, and even with the smaller offset, that's referencing something outside of the file.
The max offset appears to be ~24896.

Anything I'm missing?

So this tool hasn't been updated in 4 years, and the decomp has changed a lot since then. Ideally you would just use the decomp for custom level models, but that isn't done yet.

The vanilla track model files in the repo are gzip compressed, so you'll need a way to uncompress it. If you know C/C++ you can look at these files on how to decompress the file: https://github.com/DavidSM64/Diddy-Kong-Racing/tree/master/tools/dkr_assets_tool_src/libs/gzip.

Awesome, thanks a bunch.
Got it running, overall it works pretty well!
Just had to also add in some adjustments to texture wrap and blending so shadows work correctly.

Yeah agree, decomp is the better place to try do further stuff
