Hey there,
I have been working on a custom parser for UE2 Animation Sequences, however there is something i can't make sense of which includes how TArray types are stored.
The usual structure that i observed first based on the following entry TArray<float> SampleData results in:
byte ArrayCount;
float DataEntries[ArrayCount]
but now if the Array reaches a specific size there seems to be some other things going. Instead of a byte a short is used and this is where i got stuck because the Values make no sense at first.
I have a sample of this behaviour here:
https://mega.nz/#!iJhSQQQC!6erKE8vd2v10gsYyJl8KdfqH4Yn9C51r8aWjM3imxXQIts a simple array of float timings. The Total size is 772 bytes ( 4 bytes * 193 ) 193 is the sample count i used to write this with from Unreal. However the array information infront of the data makes no direct sense to me.
I tried looking into the actual Unreal Code and then UE Viewer but i could not spot any special case logic dealing with this specifically.
The other part i am wondering is how i would detect if only a byte is given for Array Count or this method? I assume this is probably another type of Array itself, i have done work with UE3 files in the past and i did not encounter this issue yet.
Any help is very appreciated.
