skypickle Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I would like to be able to trim a track file to only the relevant thing I am trying to show. Is there an app for that? The track file is binary so I cant even read it. Can it be decompiled to something a human can read? 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weta43 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm not sure how far you got. The trk files are actually a zip of the mission, set up and 'action' Change the ".trk" suffix to ".zip" & unzip it. You can edit the 'mission' part of it, re-zip (Ironhand does it quite a lot to change aircraft in tracks) As far as I know you can't edit the 'action' part of the file though. It really is a binary. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Good luck with that. General consensus is that you are lucky if they simply play back correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I would like to be able to trim a track file to only the relevant thing I am trying to show. Is there an app for that? The track file is binary so I cant even read it. Can it be decompiled to something a human can read? Tracks in DCS are not recordings of events, but mission files, which are loaded and simulated again from the get go. Only control inputs are recorded so that when the the track (mission) is played for another time, the computer can try to repeat the units movements as closely to previous time as possible (with mixed results, unfortunately). That means, that you can't trim tracks, because, technically, there's nothing trimmable in them. Well, you can kind of "trim" the ending of them - play the track to some point, hit Esc, choose "take control" (from now on you don't play the track but fly the mission), end the mission, save as another, shorter track. But that's about it. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypickle Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Well, i opened a trk file by renaming it as .zip. The contents are 5 folders and 4 files The folders are : Config I10n Scripts track track_data and the files are mission options theatre warehouses The two largest files are the one in the root named mission (59kb) which describes the setting. Every single thing in the mission that is part of the setting. It looks like xml and is here https://gist.github.com/bwanaaa/bfe588c4673f8a99d8da3792f364cf1e (The upload facility here would not allow an attachment) The largest file is in the folder named track. and it is a file named, action (2933kb) Unfortunately it's all binary Edited September 25, 2020 by skypickle 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
