The next couple of posts are a bit off topic, But good information to know.
changing a clip name:
Example:
BehindTaskbar clips carry a value of 2
FrontTaskbar clips carry a value of 1
So take this clip name as an example
e1555_6153101.vghd
the last 3 digits are the Level, and 2 digit code, 101
remove them and you are left with 6153
that is the type of clip this is.
it can be Linked at the start which is value 4096
it can be linked at the end which is value 2048
it was filmed in Full Frame which is value 8
it is BehindTaskbar which is value 1
add them all up and you get 6153
to Make it a FrontTaskbar clip,
subtract 1 to remove the BehindTaskbar Value
add 2 to add the Fronttaskbar value
the result is 6154
add back the 3 digits 101
e1555_6154101.vghd
What are the codes?
65536 - glass
32768 - starts Nude
16384 - spin at end
8192 - spin at start
4096 - linked at start
2048 - linked at end
1024 - top of screen / Swing
512 - cage
256 - not used
128 - not used
64 - In/out (ignore entrance spot and start at screen edge )
32 - includes an Accessory
16 - holds a Sign ( buy me )
8 - filmed in Full Frame ( older clips did not film the full legs in front of the task bar )
4 - Pole
2 - behind taskbar
1- front of taskbar
0 - standing
How to Decode a clip number?
Take off the last 3 digits of the clip name.
Now, find the Largest Number in the list above than can be subtracted from the remaining number
The Clip has that Feature.
subtracted it. and Now you have the Remainder.
Repeat the above step, till you can't subtract anything else.
you now have a list of all of that clips features.
@Wyldanimal , great explanation ..
doing all the math is one way ... I find it easier to understand using Binary.
it can easily be converted to binary using the desktop calculator
Try this one:
e1555_38921404.vghd
what type of clip is it?
in binary, where a 1 is showing, that is enabled a zero means not enabled
0
100
1 1000 0000
100
1 (is 38921 in binary -- the last 3 digits are ignored)
1 0000 0000 0000 0000 -- 65536 - glass
0

Okay... i am a software engineer so it works for me.
