Visual Proxy

This is a Sims 3:RCOL chunk tagged "VPXY".

The purpose of these files is to show which parts of an object are linked together, and what all the parts of the object are

A Typecase table starts the file, which has case 01's that index separate parts of the model and case 00's that index linked parts of the model, such as GEOMs (blends and pieces of the same model), and presumably MODL and MLOD (though I haven't tested this)

This is followed by what I think is a bounding box of floats

This is followed by an optional index for modulars, probably the corner (index of its FTPT)

This is followed by a TGI list containing GEOM, MODL, MLOD, LITE, RSLT and FTPT references.

File Format

-- Insert Scenegraph header
DWORD 				// VPXY
DWORD 				// version (4)
DWORD tgi offset		// see Sims 3:Key table
DWORD tgi size			// see Sims 3:Key table

BYTE count1			// Entry Count (same as TGI index Count)
   --repetition count1 Entries (see below)
   BYTE type
   {data}

BYTE				// 0x02 (? type code for bounding box)
FLOAT[6]			// ? bounding box (xyz1, xyz2)

BYTE[4]			// (probably redundant from earlier version)

BYTE flag			// Modular flag?
-- if flag == 0x01
   DWORD ftptIndex		// TGI Block List entry for FTPT

--insert TGI Block List	// see Sims 3:Key table

Entry Types

BYTE msIndex // Incremental count of type=00 entries
BYTE Count
DWORD[Count] // Indexes into TGI Block List

DWORD iD // Index into TGI Block List
