All PG2 file structures, compiled by L.Guzman * December 2005.

I started upon Lasse Hintze Jensen files specifications, but compiled on a single file, fixing some minor errors (as "Player data" lenght which is 388 bytes instead of 288), adding .DAT and .SHP files and updating the new fields made available by the patch 2.10.
I have to thank to Lasse for doing the heaviest work, but also to Progi and Fred Chlanda for his help on understanding some of the files structures. I have rearrange and sometimes renamed, some of the intermediate structures, according to my own understanding, so be aware this document could seem somehow different than those published by Lasse.
 

Index
  Equipment (EQP)
  Campaign (CAM)
  Map definition (MAP)
Panzer2.dat (DAT)
  Pictures (SHP)
  Sounds (MEL)
  Music (MUS)
  Scenario (SCN)
  Campaign Savegame (CSV)
  Play by e-mail Savegame (EML)
  Single Savegame (SAV)
   

The "Read As" column refers to how the bytes on the left must be interpreted (little-endian layout):

Byte:  is unsigned integer 8 bits (uint8)
Char:  is signed integer 8 bits (int8)
Word:  is unsigned integer 16 bits (uint16)
DWord: is unsigned integer 32 bits (uint32)
Bitfields: means that the size of the data is decoded as individual bits, instead than a whole
 
The Equipment (EQP) file
The PG2 equipment file has not a fixed size.
This file holds all the data for every unit. Its size depend upon the number of units in the file.
Along with the *.EQP file is a *.TXT with the same name, that hold all the names of the units.
The equipment files (.eqp + .txt) must be on main game directory.
 
Bytes Read as Meaning
2 word Number of units in the file. Depending on game patch you use this can be
< 1000 for SSI 1.0x
< 2000 for unofficial patch 102G

If the equipment file uses the +5 countries extension allowed when using the patch 2.10, the game needs 5 additional country names.
Add the 5 country names at the end of the GUI97.TXT file (line 441-45). If the game finds >= 124 pictures in FLAGS1.SHP file the new country names will be used. To show the correct unit class name in the INSPECT UNIT and HQ screen, change also line 139 and 146 this way:
     139: replace “Panzer General II" with "FlaK"
     146: replace “Panzer General II" with "Level Bomber"
     441: name of country #27
     …
     445: name of country #31

so you should have a GUI97.txt file with 445 lines instead of the 440 lines.>

2 word Total max prestige (player cap)
This has to do with prestige.
It demands if you get your victory/loss prestige.
If you have more prestige, then "Total Max", at the
end of a scenario you DON'T get the victory/loss
prestige! NOTE: its the NEXT SCENARIOS "Total Max"
that decide for the CURRENT scenario.
If you have less, you get as much of the victory/loss
prestige until you run over "Total max".
2 word Lasse called Start Max prestige, a kind of cap for Start prestige for player field.
But it rather look like it disables "Total max prestige" so any award defined is added, regardless current player prestige at the start of a scenario. If this is zero, then player prestige is limited by "Total max prestige" (player cap)
2 word maybe AI start prestige. PG2 doesn't use it.
2 word Start prestige for player.
This is prestige you get, at the start of a scenario if you have less the "Start Max"

It defines hexes attributes and the image to link
The map definition files must be in the SCENARIO directory

The PG2 picture map file is made up to 12 .SHP files each holding a piece of the map up to 640x480 pixels.
All the SHP files are named like Map#xy.shp, where [#] is the map link number (at least 2 dˇgits 0 padded), [x] the column number, and [y] the row number, The biggest size allowed is 1920x1920 pixels which makes 12 tiles arranged this way

The panzer2 (DAT) file
The PG2 panzer2 file has not a fixed zˇsize.
It holds all files the game needs to make up the interface, like GAME.PAL, interface SHP files and all unit's icons SHP files.
The panzer2 file must be in the root game directory.

4 DWORD Number of files included
Variable Items dictionary #items x 17 bytes (there is a record for each file included plus an empty entry at the end)
 
Bytes Read as Meaning
4 DWORD offset of shape
13 Array of char name of item, it is in fact the file name was appended
Should be in alphabetical order
Variable SHP file each file  included into the dictionary plus an empty one
Most of them are shape (SHP) files, but it really can hold any file.  GAME.PAL file should be included
GAME.PAL file hold the palette to be used - it is 1024 bytes size.
It is a binary file with 256 contiguous records
Each record is  4 bytes long containing red, green and blue components padded to 32 bits boundary (4 bytes)  for each palette index.

The (SHP) file
PG2 SHP files are really bitmaps encoded to reduce size.
This files are used both for map pictures and for interface and unit's icons

4 DWORD eye catcher should be equal to "1.10"
4 DWORD number of icons included on SHP file
Variable Offsets #items x 8 bytes (there is a record for each icon included on the file)
 
Bytes Read as Meaning
4 DWORD offset for icon header
4 DWORD It is said to be the offset for icon palette, but is is always 0 as palette is taken from GAME.PAL
Variable size Icon data there is a record for each icon included on the file

number of lines -1
2 word number of pixels in a line
4 ???? unknown, can be 0, though SSI icons has data here.
4 DWORD start X pixel
4 DWORD start Y pixel
4 DWORD end X pixels
4 DWORD end Y pixel
Variable byte a stream of encoded data for this icon
Variable DWORD It does not exist if offset for palette is 0. Never exist on any .DAT file
Icon data is decoded this way:
  • The Start-position (upper left corner) is start X start Y fields.
  • Every paint-instruction starts with a "instruction-byte" followed by one or more data-bytes
    (except when this first byte is 0 or 1) - see below
  • Color data is always a byte (0.255) meaning the index into the 256 colors palette.
  • Depending on the instruction-byte you should take this actions :
     
    Instruction byte is    ACTION

    0

    		 start new row
    1 skip the number of pixels contained in the next byte.
    example. "01 22" : means skip 22 pixels

    an even number

    		 draw a line using the color in the next byte with a length equal to "instruction-byte"/ 2
    example: "06 D5" : means Line: 0x06/2 = 3 pixels long, color RGB palette_index(0xD5)
    an odd number subtract 1 from the "instruction-byte", divide it by 2, and you get the number of bytes, representing the color of the next "as many pixels as your result
    example : 05 17 00 ' : next  (0x05 - 1)/2 = 2 bytes should be the colors of the next 2 pixels in the row we are in, thats is RGB(palette_index(0x17) and RGB(palette_index(0x00)

The sound (MEL) file
The *.MEL file is the one holding all the unit sound, and some game sound.
10xx.mel, 20xx.mel and 30xx.mel are unit sound, selectable via the equipment file.
1.mel holds the sound when you click the mouse, and 5000.mel is for very low dark rumbling sound, not sure where its used. This is also the only file that has set repeat itself to endless (same as 0xFFFFFFF).
The *.MEL files are on PCM RAW format - 16bit 22050 mono. and cannot be larger then 870-950Kb. If they are the game refuse to play it.

Variable DWORD Raw data 16 bit
Every sample is 4 byte (Dword=16bit) and just go on like this to the end.
Sample rate under 3000 is not really usefull.
If 1# sample rate is 0xFFFFFFFF the a random sample rate is selected between 2# and 3#, every time a unit using that sound does something.

The music (MUS) files
The *.MUS file is the one holding all the sound you hear to the intro/victory txt for a campaign.
All *.MUS files are plane simple RAW 8/16bit data. There is no sample rate header like in the *.MEL file, so they all have to be in PCM RAW format - 8bit 22050 stereo. Except the xxplay1-2.mus files they are in 16bit 22050 stereo.

The Scenario (SCN) file
The PG2 scenario file has not a fixed size, its size depend upon the number of units in the file.
Along with the *.SCN file is a *.TXT with the same name, that hold all the names for units and terrain, even if there ar no units nor terrain renamed this file is needed cause the first line defines which title will be shown for the scenario.
Scenarios can be set as hidden (they don't show on scenario list) usualy when they belong to a campaign.
They can be set also as "UseMade" scenarios (they show up blue on the list) which is the default for those scenarios made using built-in editor.
Scenarios should be located on SCENARIO directory, unless they are UserMade type. UserMade type are expected to be located on USERSCEN folder instead.
The scenario files (.scn + .txt) included in a campaign must be placed on the scenario directory.

Bytes Read as Meaning
1 Byte Scenario Selection. Not meaningful for savegames
This byte determinates if a single scenario shows up in the scenario select list in the game.
This is basically for hiding campaign scenarios, that are not meant to be played as single scenario.
A scenario with this byte set to 1 will be fully workable in a campaign, but does not show up as a single scenario.
Any other value makes to be shwon
2 Bitfields Patch 2.x options
Bit1 = Default experience for new units && prototypes as defined on Turn 40 prestige setting for each player
Bit2 = Use current / basic strenght as defined (so no reset current to basic)
Bit3 = Use Fuel as defined (so no reset when load)
Bit4 = Use Ammo as defined (so no reset when load)
Bit5 = Avoid paratroop deployment on ocean hexes using air transport
Bit6 = No prototypes
Bit7 = Play custom music during Scenario File
Bit8 = Allow setting default unit's strenght for each player (also when getting prototypes)
Bit9 = Allow settting a time frame in range between 1 and 12 months for valid prototypes
Bit10=Allow Different victory types for VHs
Bits 11..16 -> not used yet.
1 ? Unknown
2 word Scenario name in game. Not meaningful for savegames
This refers to the *.TXT file with the same name as the *.SCN file. It's the entry number in this text file to display on the "turn panel" as scenario name. This does NOT change the name of the scenario in the scenario select list, as its always the first name in the same text file that is used.
1 byte Atmospheric conditions. This is only a guideline on how the weather conditions is going to be. Some latitudes does not allow all kind of weather, Ex it is pointless to set snow in Africa, as the game will not do it.
     0 = fair
     1 = overcast
     2 = rain
     3 = snow
1 byte Atmospheric latitude. SSI themselves used South-Europe for USA scenarios, however if you make a Alaska scenario, its probably better to use North-Europe.
    0 = Africa
    1 = S-europa
    2 = N-europa
    3 = E-europa
2 word Date day. If outside range, the date will not be displayed.
2 word Date month. If outside range, the date will not be displayed.
2 word Date year. 1900+ number entered. In order to get per-1900 years you will have to let the counter "rollover", which it will do when 1900+number is over 65535 (the max a word can hold). It rollover to zero if the value is F894h or higher. But the game will not display years from 0-1600, however years 1601-65535 will be displayed just fine.

1 byte Attack Stance. This is for the AI. Note a bug is present here. If all 4 minor countries is used, the "Attack Stance" byte will be interpreted as 5th minor country and at the same time work as normal "Attack stance", resulting in the "Austria" will be a 5th country, as "Austria" has the country code 1.
0=defensive

2 word Number of units. This value should not be messed with, unless you know exactly what you are doing. This is the number of additional units placed on the map when using the PGII editor. Any additional editing will add this number to the one on top and a new number of additional units will be added here. The two number of units can combined not exceed 100 for one Player.

1 Bitfields Ownership of Hex. What Player and what flag is displayed on this hex. Note the flag does not have to be one of the country assigned to the player.
   Bits 1..5 = Owner flag (See appendix for values)
   Bits 6..8 = Player ( 0 = none, 1 = Player1,  2 = Player2,  3 = Player3,  4 = Player4)
1 Bitfields Supply hex.  No bit set = non suplly hex

     bit1 = player1
     bit2 = player2
     bit3 = player3
     bit4 = player4
     Bit5   is set on every hex within a unit sight range
     Bit 6-7-8 Called Unit Supply zone is something unused,
                    it is just a value the SSI editor set on that hex if a unit is close to the hex or on the hex.
1 Bitfields Victory hex. t is required that a victory hex is placed on a hex own by a player of the other side. If no such hexes exist, a side will win by taking ANY kind of hex from the other side.  No bit set = no victory hex

     bit1 = no effect
     bit2 = Axis victory hex * with patch 2.20 it means Axis Brilliant Victory hex
     bit3 = no effect * with patch 2.20 it means Axis Victory hex 
     bit4 = no effect * with patch 2.20 it means Axis Tactica Victory type
     bit5 = Allied  victory hex * with patch 2.20 it means Allied Brilliant Victory hex
     bit6 = no effect * with patch 2.20 it means Allied Victory hex
     bit7 = no effect * with patch 2.20 it means Allied Tactical Victory hex
     bit8 = no effect
1 Bitfields Deployment and prestige hex  No bit set  = no deployment, and normal prestige

     bit1 = Avoid Prestige hex when set.
     bit2 = no effect
     bit3 = Deploy for Player1
     bit4 = Deploy for Player2
     bit5 = Deploy for Player3
     bit6 = Deploy for Player4
     bit7 = no effect
     bit8 = no effect
If a unit stands, at start, on a hex with the deployment flag set it becomes a core unit. This is only true if the scenario is played thug a campaign, not if its played as a single scenario. And again this is only true if the scenario is the first in the campaign. All units standing on deployment hex in ALL other scenarios in the campaign, are ignored. The are not displayed and the do NOT become part of the game.

2 word Unit Name id. If unit is not named it is same as equipment code, either see below.
  About unit name id
  • If bit2 is set, Unit name id is expected to be an entry into Name 2 table and bit3 should not be set as bit2 takes precedence

  • If bit3 is set, Unit name id should be set to:
    • the entry line on scenario text file for Scenario file
    • entry into Name 1 table for Savegames

  • If none are set then, Unit name id should be equal to the main unit code (that's the entry line into equip97.txt file).
2 word unit position on map - X coordinate.
2 word unit position on map - Y coordinate.
2 word Total unit number count. This is the maximum number allowed to place on the map by the SSI editor. Even thug the max number of units per player is 100, and thereby the overall max should be 400, never the less it is 332. Anyway this number should match all players
2 word Player unit count. Max 100 per player. Starting from zero to max 99.
2 word Unit code. This is the index on equip97.eqp file. If the value is not found in the equipment file, PGII shows the icon defined for first item (equip #0)
2 word Transport type. The equipment code of the assigned transporter, if any, which appearance a unit will change to if the transporter is capable of moving longer then the unit. Please note air- and sea transporters is NOT assigned transporters, but simply stat and look changes of a unit. Look "unit appearance" just below.
2 word Unit appearance. This is how the unit appear on the map, and which stats it has. Normal this should be zero for any unit or you will/can end up with some weird cases. This is meant for units in sea- and air- transporters. The value will then be the air- or sea- transport code, that way the unit will appear as a transporter with the stats of a transport, but ones unloaded it uses the stat and appearance of the normal unit code. This is because air- and sea- transp. is not a assigned transporter like a normal land transporter, but rather a different appearance of the unit.
2 ?? Unknown
2 word Experience level. This does nothing other than hold current running experience total. Will run over to zero at 65535.
2 word Unit mount code. Unit mount code should almost always be the same as the unit code. This is the code a unit un-mount to by the beginning of a new turn. This is in order to find "its way back" from transporter mode, which the unit will change to if the assigned "transport type" is capable to move longer. In case of Air- and sea-transporters this code should be the same as the unit appearance code or you will have weird mount/un-mount as the unit moves.
2 word Leader index. This is the link to the leaders for this unit, store in the "Leader data" section, but only savegames has that area, so this field is only used at scenario level to mean the unit will get a leader, but you cannot define here what leader. As there can only be 15 leader per player (there is only room for 15), setting a number higher than 15 will not do you any good. But you can assing same leader to several units.
1 byte Leader chance. Every time the experience bar is increased (up to 5 ) there is a random chance of getting a leader. The odds for this start at 10%. This is because the routine generates a random number between 0 and 100 and compares it with [10+ leader chance']. If the random number is less, then you get a leader. When you first start, leader chance' is zero, and so the chance is 10%. However if you DON'T get a leader this time, the routine generates another random number between 0 and 10, ADDS it to the old value in "leader chance" and puts this new value in "leader chance"! So the next time you try for a leader, the odds have increased a bit in your favor. This means that if you DEFINITELY want a unit to have a leader on the next experience bar increase, put a 90 into "leader chance". This makes the odds 90 + 10 = 100%!!!! Could be useful for those scenario/campaign designers who place units with 199 experience as a trap for the unwary player. Any value over 90 will also generate a leader ever time.
1 byte Experience level indicator(bars). A number higher then 5 will not show more then 5 blocks (there is no more graphic for this), but is will work as a higher experience. A 255 bar unit is virtual indestructible. Automatically this will not go higher then 5 by the game, but manual you can set it higher.
2 word Unit deployment status.
  0 = Vanish if campaign
  1 = Not deployed (still at HQ pool)
  2 = Deployed on map
Value 0 is set by the game when scenario is played in a campaign, for all units standing on deployment hexes at start of the scenario (except the very first scenario in the campaign) and make those units vanish from the game. This is how you can use scenarios as single and in campaigns where some units are in the single version and not when play thug the campaign.
1 byte Unit player:   0 = player1
  1 = player2
  2 = player3
  3 = player4
Be aware a lot of other values need to be correct too, in order to shift player.
1 byte Side. The side this unit belongs too (0 is axis, 1 is Alled).
1 byte Unit country flag.
1 byte Lasting Suppression. This is the Current number of strength point that is suppressed as LASTING suppression.
1 byte Current strength. This is the current strength of a unit, can be over (over strength) or under (casualties) the original strength. On scenarios this value is reset to be same as basic strenght unless bit2 for Patch 2.x options is set.
Thug you can set this value as high as far as there are a graphic icon to show. When PGII runs out of graphic to display it will crash the game. Each side and type has its own graphic, with 1-15 (or more with latest datup) numbers and additional 5 icons for 16-20 in strength. If you go higher it will run into graphic used by other units and high enough run completely out of graphic, which crashes the game.
1 byte Remaining Movement range. Current remaining movement points for this turn. Will be reset to the set movement range for this unit type in the equipment file, by the beginning of every turn, so it doesn't matter what you write hwere, it will be reset.
1 byte Remaining Fuel points. On scenarios this value is reset at start to be the value from the Equipment unless bit3 Patch 2.x options is set.
Ones this number goes under the value set for this unit type in the equipment file, the re-supply bottom will light up. A unit can max re-supply to the value from the Equipment file.
1 byte Remaining ammunition in double the amount. The reason for this is the ”Fire Discipline” leader. Thug the readme says is uses ammo at half rate, it actually uses it at a 1:1 rate, its all the other units that uses it a double rate, thus the double ammunition count. This can result in the last desperate shoot from artillery (but not only artillery), because when the ammunition counter in the game says the unit has 0 it can in fact have both 0 and 1. It’s often seen in the desert, because it has harsh re-supply rules, resulting in un-even re-supply. More than one unit beside a re-supplying unit also results in un-even re-supply, so it can happen in every map. On scenarios this value is reset at start to be the value from the Equipment, unless Bit4 Patch 2.x options is set.
1 byte Entrenchment. The entrenchment value of a unit.
1 byte Entrenchment ticks/counts. Number of counts for next Entrenchment increase. The is actually duel functioning. When a certain number of counts has been reached, corresponding to the number of turns a units has stood still on a hex,- which are different from class to class and terrain in question, this increases the entrenchment of the unit. This is the byte found just about. The count is in two's, like 2-4-6...... If you increase this number really high, so it contains several count circles it will increase the entrenchment of the unit by the more then a one increase.
5 ?.. Unknown
1 byte Hits. Number of hits this unit has sustained by enemy units. For every hit 2 point is taken of the units defensive values. Defensive values cannot go into negative, so after this number have taken away all the units defensive values, increasing it further will not do any good.
2 word Unit direction (face) (0-15 counter clockwise). Be aware the game WILL crash if you enter a value higher than 15 here. This value defines which of the 9 icons will be shown.
1 byte Arrival turn as reinforcement. They arrive at the XY set above. a zero value means it is not a reinforce.
1 byte Basic or Original strength. This is the max strength you can reinforce to if you have prestige and current strength is under original strength. Read Current strength for details.
1 byte Air defense destroyed by this unit. Number destroyed.
1 byte Anti Tanks destroyed by this unit. Number destroyed.
1 byte Artillery destroyed by this unit. Number destroyed.

2 word Prototype chance.
  Every time you get a BV there is a chance to get a prototype. This field is the probability of getting one. Game adds 20% to this field before checking it. If you get a prototype this filed is reset to 0 thus next time you'll have a 20% of success, either it is saved being 20% higher. At start this field is set to 100, so firts BV you have a 120% for succes (that's is you always get one if any is availbale).
However it’s not enough that the chance says you have to have a prototype, there must also be something available for you to get. Unless it is modified using Patch 2.x options a prototype is assigned from equipment units which become available between 1 and 9 months after the next scenario starts. So if you first scenario in the campaign starts say Aug41, you get the BV, and next scenario you get to because of the BV start say Dec41, you will get a prototype units that has an available date ranging from Jan42 to Sep42. Using Patch 2.x you can set that time frame as short as only Jan 42 (timeframe = 1) or as wide as from Jan42 to Dec42 (timeframe = 12).
You don’t get prototype units that become available in the same month as the scenario starts. If no such equipment is available you will get no prototype even if the counter says 100%. The counter will however stay a 100%, so as soon as you get another BV and equipment is available you will get a prototype unit.
500 Units Honors 5 bytes x 100 units x 4 players units battle honors.
  Number represent the scenario it was given in. The game will only display as many of them as the experience bars the unit has, so it does not help to set all 5 of them if the unit does not have the bars, they will not be displayed.

Variable Second part ... A complete savegame consist of the current stats, that is the first part, - always on top of the file. The second part is the stat before the current turn. The 'section 2 header' is ONLY found in the first part of the savegame NOT the second part, understandable enough since this section describes the 2nd part of the savegame! The 'replay' section is found at the bottom of Part 2 of the savegame, and thus is NOT included in any of the two parts, but is a independent section, that actually describes the different between the two parts of the savegame. Part two + the 'replay' should be the Part one stats.
Variable Replay Action codes
  This is made by a series of action codes. Near everyone is different in length (byte) Every action of your unit is recorded.

Play by e-mail Savegame (EML) file
This savegame is particle sensitive to wrong setting from the original scenario its created from. Some settings in scenario can crash the PBEM savegame during replay, where in other savegames such setting will go unnoticed.
Normally PBEM savegame consist ONLY of these two section. Different turns are NOT stored on top of each other. ONLY the current and the last turn is stored. However there is a bug in PBEM, where the file suddenly begins to grow turn for turn. this is caused by the fact that different version CANNOT play against each other. IF two different versions play against each other, like v1.00 vs. v1.02 each version will include its own two Parts, just putting them on top of each other. This also results in the 'replay of your own previous turn', where, if you replay the turn, see you own previous turn replay, instead of the correct current turn of the enemy. The correct replay IS in the savegame, but because each version reads from its own stored Parts, it replays your own replay. NEVER play against each other with different version, not only is there rule changes from version to version, but also this weird replay thing will happen. If a PBEM savegame grows over 100K you got such a case. Also unlike the other savegame the replay section is viewable from in-game, by using the replay bottom.
