Hi, I'm currently experimenting with the GC game Rocket Power Beach Bandits. I've managed to extract all the game files, and I'm interested in finding a way to explore an unplayable test level with your in-game character.
I figured the most logical way to do so would be to edit the script or lines of code that bring you to the next level. Let me explain.
Let's call the first area of the game level A, the second area level B, and the test area level C. Instead of the end of level A bringing you to level B as per norm, the edited script/cfg/txt would load in level C instead of level B. The problem is, the game was made by an obscure dev team that used (to my knowledge) file formats that were not popular in the GC era. I would like to know:
1) Is my theory of editing a "script" possible to get me to level C, or is it much more complex than that?
2) If so, which file type would it be? The file formats I extracted that could be this elusive "script" include the following: .dat, .bak, a single LOD.dll file, .bsc, .cb, .cfg, .chp, .db, .dbx, .ent, .mtap, .npbx, .spline, and .tpa.
I apologize if this is a vague question; I'm not sure how else to word it or go about asking since I'm not a CS expert. Thanks in advance.
