## Entity Hash Table

Hash-function used: [PJW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PJW_hash_function) (Same parameters as the example implementation)

Entry format:

| Offset | Type          | Description                    |
| ------ | ------------- | ------------------------------ |
| 0x0    | `void*`       | Pointer to data                |
| 0x4    | `const char*` | key as `char*`                 |
| 0x8    | `void*`       | Pointer to next entry in chain |

Data format:

| Offset | Type          | Description              |
| ------ | ------------- | ------------------------ |
| 0x0    | `void**`      | Virtual Method Table (?) |
| 0x4    | `const char*` | name as string           |
| 0x14   | `void*`       | pointer to self (why?)   |
| 0x28   | `float[3]`    | Position in Game World   |


# File Formats

## .packed File Format:
```
Header:
    "BFPK\0\0\0\0"
    Int32ul: number of files
    for each file:
        Int32ul: path length
        String: path
        Int32ul: size
        Int32ul: offset in file
```



## Loading Custom Content (not really working)
1. Create a folder `mods`
2. Drop a `*.packed` file into it
3. Change `Scrap.cfg` as follows
   1. Add `ModPathName = mods`
   2. Add `ModFileName = <filename>`

## Interesting file:
* `m3d.ini`: Rendering Engine Configuration
* `scripts/`: Game Engine Scripts


# How to enable External Console:
1. exctract `Data.packed`
2. in m3d.ini uncomment (remove `;`) `ConsolaWnd` (GUI Console) and/or `ConsolaTxt` (Text Console) and set the value to `SI`
3. repack `Data.packed`

or right click on the title bar (in windowed mode) and click "Switch Console"

or Use a custom Content Pack (**untested!**)

# Misc. Interesting things
- sys.path contains "./lib" so you can load your own Python Modules

## Hashfunction used in Entity Hash-Table

```c
unsigned long ElfHash(const unsigned char *s)
{
    unsigned long h = 0, high;
    while ( *s )
    {
        h = ( h << 4 ) + *s++;
        if ( high = h & 0xF0000000 )
            h ^= high >> 24;
        h &= ~high;
    }
    return h;
}
