What is the 'TitleScreen'-property ?

Post by Antonio »

I noticed that some BDCFF-files contain a 'TitleScreen'-property
which looks something like this :

Code: Select all

TitleScreen=iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAUAAAACoC
I couldn't find this property in the BDCFF (-extension) documentation.
What does it mean, how should it be parsed ?

And is there maybe some other documentation available which
mentions this property ?

This is no official BDCFF attribute. GDash abbuses the BDCFF file for some stuff.

Of course, BDCFF is meant to be extensible, and any unknown attribute should simply be ignored. However, since it is also meant for interchangeability, it is highly recommend to document any extensions with the software using it.

There used to be a topic about BDCFF at http://www.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds/forum.html
But unfortunately that forum isn't working for quite some time now.
There was also a database with many non BD elements.

cirix (author of GDash) decided not to discuss his GDash specific attributes, despite they are stored in a BDCFF file.

If you really want to support that attribute despite of its non-BDCFF nature, you should check the GDash source.
