war3map.doo Doodads

The file contains the defenitions for all doodads including destructibles.

Format

Here is the file format:

char[4]		magic_number
int32		format_version
int32		format_subversion?
int32		doodads_count

And then doodads_count structures of variable length (usually 50 bytes).

char[4]		doodad_id
uint32		variation
float		x_position
float		y_position
float		z_position
float		angle
float		x_scale
float		y_scale
float		z_scale
uint8		flags
uint8		life
uint32		item_table_pointer
uint32		item_sets_count
ItemSet		item_sets
uint32		world_editor_id

The above structure is variable in length due to the ItemSets which are repeated item_sets_count and look like this:

uint32		sets_count
char[4]		item_id
uint32		chance

Where item_id and chance are repeated sets_count times.

---

After the last normal doodad definitions there are special doodads (those which can't be edited once they are placed).

uint32 special_format_version
uint32 special_doodads_count

Then special_doodads_count times a special doodad structure:

char[4]: special_doodad_id
uint32 special_x_position
uint32 special_y_position
uint32 special_z_position

Explanation

char[4]		magic_number

The constant string "W3do" at the start of the war3map.doo used to identify it.
