increase_render_distance.py

Description

This script processes SR2 map chunks, increasing render distance of individual entities in the map data by 4 times. It can handle both single file inputs and multiple file configurations through a file list.

Features

• Processes a single chunk file or multiple chunk files based on a file list.
• Increases render distance by multiplying 32-bit little-endian float values by 4 if they are less than 1,000,000.

Usage

Single File Processing

To process a single binary file, use the following command:

python increase_render_distance.py input_filename.bin output_filename.bin start_offset jmp_offset entities_num [-v]

• input_filename.bin: The input binary file to process.
• output_filename.bin: The output binary file to save the edited content.
• start_offset: The start offset in hex.
• jmp_offset: The jump offset in hex.
• entities_num: The number of entities to process.
• -v, --verbose: Enable verbose output (optional).

Multiple File Processing

To process multiple binary files using a file list, use the following command:

python increase_render_distance.py -f config_file.txt [-v]

• -f, --filelist: The name of the file list file with processing details.
• -v, --verbose: Enable verbose output (optional).

File List Format

The file list should contain one file and its parameters per line, with the following format:

input_filename output_filename start_offset jmp_offset entities_num

Example line:

sr2_ug_chunk159_malla.chunk_pc sr2_ug_chunk159_malla.chunk_pc.edited 0x3d247c 80 2609

Example Commands

Single File

python increase_render_distance.py sr2_ug_chunk159_malla.chunk_pc sr2_ug_chunk159_malla.chunk_pc.edited 0x3d247c 80 2609 -v

Multiple Files

python increase_render_distance.py -f config_file.txt
