Hazardous Objects

The Hazardous Objects are the Mines and the Oil Drums (or Barrels).

Object Types

There can be four values : no objects, mines only, oil drums only, or both objects.

Object Count

This value only exists in W:A. You can set how many objects can appear, from 1 to 250. For having zero objects, simply set "no objects" as the type.

Not all values from 1 to 250 are represented. The following is a breakdown of possible values: 1-30 (1 by 1), 35-100 (5 by 5), 100-250 (10 by 10).

How is this setting saved in a WSC file?

Old schemes

In WWP and W:A v1 schemes (and probably W:A v2 old schemes), only the hazardous object types value is saved.

The values are: 0x00=No objects, 0x01=Mines, 0x02=Oil Drums, 0x05=Both.

New schemes

In new W:A schemes, there is the setting Object Count. So both Oject Types and Count values are stored in the same byte.

Object Types

You have to modulo (%) the value by 4.

• If you get 0, there are no objects.
• If you get 1, there are only mines.
• If you get 2, there are only oil drums.
• If you get 3, there are both objects.

For example :

You have the value "79".

79 % 4 = 3 (because 79 / 4 = 19 and the rest is 3)

So there will be both mines and oil drums in the scheme.

Another example

You have the value "42"

42 % 4 = 2 (because 42 / 4 = 10 and the rest is 2)

Object Count

First, you will have to re-use the modulo's result as M.

Then, considering V as the byte's value, do :

N = V - (8 + M)

Then finally, divide N by 4 for getting the array's entry. Remove 1 to the result, since arrays starts with 0. This value will be called "E".

E = (N / 4) - 1.
