There are the same number of RLST and VIEW resources in all packages, which leads me to believe that they are locked together by index like HSPT and CARD resources in Riven.

See a bit below for where the game starts, INTRO 1. Here's INTRO 2, because it's more deciphered than that.

INTRO 2 is the first interactive part of the game, the part where you can pick up the Myst book. The rect correctly corresponds to where the book is on screen. But, look at the "destination" -- 4. There is no VIEW/RLST 4! However, there is a WDIB 4 and it is the open book with the water. Where this ''should'' go is to card 3 and show the Myst book cover before showing image 4 and then playing the video. And, there is a 3 in this chunk, but I'm not sure if that's the purpose. I have no idea what the 37/34 could mean. There is a WDIB 11, but it's of D'ni, so I doubt it's that. ;)

Note that this one has a string for the video (null-terminated). This obviously calls that video which is the Myst fly-by for the linking book. And, that rect perfectly matches where the video should be displayed on screen. However, this also clearly breaks the format specified above for "type 2 hotspots".

WDIB 3 is the cover of the Myst linking book. But, this doesn't match up with the video mentioned here which should be for WDIB 4 (or 10, they are identical)(the open linking book with the water image) and eventually ending at WDIB 12 (the open linking book with the dock image). The 5 after the very large numbers is the target card for the open linking book which seems correct. 0x2848 is 10,312 and 0x2756 is 10,070. The rate of the audio is 11,025. Not sure if this has any correlation.

This is the same as the first record of INTRO 3. My guess is that this is some sort of call to an external command. INTRO 1 is supposed to be the card which shows the opening movies and then switches to card 2.

Myst
Mohawk Overview
CLRC EXIT HINT INIT
MJMP MSND PICT RLST
VIEW WDIB HELP RSFL
Scripts Variables

This page contains or will contain a comprehensive analysis of the 8 resource types used in Myst and the two added in Myst ME.

Both Myst and Myst ME use little-endian byte order in the files (by contrast to the big-endian byte order used in Riven and the Mohawk format), although the data itself is stored in properly formatted Mohawk format (don't let the .dni or .dat file extension fool you). The packages in Myst ME are:

  • CHANNEL
  • CREDITS
  • DUNNY
  • HELP (Myst ME only)
  • INTRO
  • MECHAN
  • MYST
  • SELEN
  • STONE
  • SYSTEM (Does not exist in all versions and only contains the RSFL resource)

The resources are on the left (MJMP, HELP, and PICT are new in ME). None of the resources are named except for the MSND/MJMP resources.

RLST and VIEW

There are the same number of RLST and VIEW resources in all packages, which leads me to believe that they are locked together by index like HSPT and CARD resources in Riven.

VIEW

image name and sub-images (akin to Riven PLSTs)

0 0 3001 -1 0/0 3001 3001 0 0
name neg. bytes (name name 0 0)
0 0 3002 -2 0/144 0 3002 3002 0 0
0 0 3003 -2 0/144 1 [1 3004] 3003 3003 0 0
name ? count entry (name name 0 0)
  • I think 3004 is the name of a sub-image (small image to be placed in another) of 3003 here.
0 0 3005 3005 0/144 1 [1 3006] 3005 3005 0 0
