Update translators to work with 1.32 (Reforged beta)

[ttay24]

Not sure if anyone has looked at this yet, but do we know which files have changed in the 1.32 Reforged beta?

I'm still on an older version of WarCraft III so I'm not sure yet. But Blizzard has still indicated they're pursuing the 2019 release, so we don't have much longer until the official version is released and is more stable.

I will certainly be upgrading to Reforged, and will try my hand at deciphering any changes to the data formats they may have made. I don't think it will be much, because a large part of the upgrade is with textures and models. I don't think any entities (placing units, doodads, etc. on the map) will have any changes, but maybe the terrain file will.

Hey just found this project. I'm also working on fixing another similar tool for 1.32. I already found some changes in the w3i (eg. see here +8 bytes after each player, and +8 bytes after the header).

There are also some changes related to object files (slk etc.) but still investigating those.

Great, thanks for notifying me of these changes. I'll take a look by this weekend!

I've looked at a bare-minimum w3x file saved by the new World Editor. The .w3i info file has changed as you mentioned, but I'm getting even more bytes in the header section and after the "Water" section (number 1 and 2 on the list below). Please see the attached file for how I break down the bytes in the .w3i file (Attached: wc3 info reforged.txt).

1. ..❔...There are 16 bytes in the header section after the editor version
2. ..❔...There are 12 bytes after the water section and before the number of players section
3. ..✔️..There are 8 bytes after each player, as you mentioned, so at least these are accounted for.

I'm going to keep this issue open for a while since this upgrade to support Reforged may take more investigation, and I'd like people to be able to discuss the changes here 💭

I am uncertain what the new 8 bytes on each player would represent. But for the header, there are some new checkboxes in the Map Options dialog: Maybe the first few checkboxes are some of the unknown w3i flags?

.❔...There are 16 bytes in the header section after the editor version

https://github.com/sumneko/w3x2lni/blob/4d31cee553b0be2c8b7d730e92ced496e25d70c5/script/core/slk/frontend_w3i.lua#L53-L58

Introduced in file version 28 and called War3 version here.

..❔...There are 12 bytes after the water section and before the number of players section

https://github.com/sumneko/w3x2lni/blob/4d31cee553b0be2c8b7d730e92ced496e25d70c5/script/core/slk/frontend_w3i.lua#L147-L156

The first 4 byte were introduced in file version 28 and are 0 for Jass and 1 for Lua. Don't know yet what the next 8 are that were introduced in file version 31.

// Edit: also found https://github.com/stijnherfst/HiveWE/wiki/war3map.w3i---Map-Information which contains all this info.
