CHASM.INF allows plain-text configuration of several gameplay and graphical aspects of Chasm: The Rift. The file is divided into several sections.
MONSTERS section
Each line defines a creature present in the game. The first one is the player entity, the other 20 are enemy characters. It would appear that the number of possible enemies is limited (the official add-on replaces enemy definitions, rather than adding to the roster). ! Confirm. The .CAR file field is treated as an ASCII file name, the rest of the values as integers.
| .CAR file | WRad | ARad | SPEED | R | LIFE | Kick | Rock | SepLimit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| File with creature's binary data | Collision radius for map geometry | Collision radius for players, monsters, projectiles and hit-scans. | Monster movement speed (immobile if value is less than 3) | Monster rotation speed | Hit Points | Melee attack damage | Projectile ID number (Defined in ROCKETS section) Use -1 for melee-only enemies |
! How hard enemy is to dismember? |
3D_OBJECTS section
! Fill this out better.
Appears to be for defining grabbable objects; out of the many parameters only a few seem to actually be used (the rest are the same for every object).
- Shadow - A 1 for objects that cast a shadow, 0 otherwise
- ACode - ! Probably hooks to something hardcoded for what item to pick up
- "Filename" - A .3O file to use for the object.
- "Animation" - An optional .ANI companion file for the .3O.
WEAPONS section
Defines each of the player's weapons in four lines per weapon: 3 lines for files, and one line for stat numbers.
- MODEL = .3O file for weapon-in-hand
- STAT = .ANI file for stationary animation in-hand
- SHOOT = .ANI file for firing animation in-hand
| RType | RldTm | YSh | RZ0 | DAm | Limit | Start | RCount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Projectile ID number (Defined in ROCKETS section.) |
Delay between shots | ! ? | Vertical offset for shoot ray position | Ammo in ammo-box pickup | Max ammo | Ammo in weapon pickup | Projectiles per shot, only appears to be valid for hitscans. 1 = always accurate, single shot Greater numbers = scatter shot of X bullets. E.G. 4 for shotgun, 2 for Volcano. |
ROCKETS section
Defines player and enemy ranged attacks, as referenced in the MONSTERS and WEAPONS sections. The ID numbers are not explicit, but determined by the order of the entries in the file.
If the model and animation fields are left blank instead of specifying a file, then the attack is treated as a hitscan rather than a projectile.
- 3d_MODEL = ASCII string, .3O filename for the projectile
- ANIMATION = ASCII string, .ANI filename to go with the .3O
| BW | GF | Ard | CRd | Pwr | Rfl | FBright | Light | Auto | Auto2 | Fast | Smoke |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ! Special effect? (e.g. 4 gives Mega Destroyer's white flash) | Effect of gravity on projectile (0 = doesn't fall) |
! ? | ! ? | Damage dealt | ! Unsure, used only on Gross' throwing rocks | ! Bright projectile? | ! ? | ! ? | ! ? | ! ? | Sprite ID number for trail effect (defined in BLOWS section) |
GIBS section
Defines gibs and other chunks of stuff. ! Document these settings
BLOWS section
Defines sprites, which use .OBJ files.
Like the ROCKETS section, the ID numbers are determined by the order of the entries in this file, rather than explicitly.
! Document these settings
BMP_OBJECTS section
Defines flame sprites, which also use .OBJ files. ! Document these settings
SOUNDS section
Defines sound effects. ! Document these settings
Example CHASM.INF file
Below is the expected layout and formatting that Chasm: The Rift's CHASM.INF files must conform to. Diverting from this structure (eg, adding additional monster lines instead of replacing an existing line) may give undesirable results or even prevent your mod from launching. This is because CHASM.INF appears to use a 'slot' system. The 3D objects section, for example, is assigned "SPR" lines 131 through 162. Such line numbers are required for certain parts of the game to work (eg, the 'CHANGE' command in PROCESS.XX refers to these lines).
