Can anyone translate this for me?

PFXファイルはParticleFXのシミュレーション結果を保存するファイルフォーマットです。
このファイルはバイナリ－ファイルであり、バイトオーダはBig Endian（Motorola形式）です。

translated to:

PFX file is the file format in which to save the simulation results of ParticleFX.
This file is binary - is a file, byte order is Big Endian (Motorola format).

Just copy & paste sections as it won't do the table as is.

LOL, I know what it is that's why I need the translation of what's in the table.
Anyone wrote a pfx parser?

Google translate seems to work on the whole thing, including the table:

Wow. I stand corrected and very good to know.

 

[creacon]

So pfx only stores position data? pretty useless then.

More questions:

It seems that pfx is an IFF format, so it has a few limitations, and so it's probably big endian encoded.
Swapping will introduce an overhead that I don't want.

Does anybody know of a format similar to IFF, but little endian encoded?

Hi
You can use google translator. If you want to translate this part properly I can give it to my friend who is working in Japan, so send me a private message if you still need it.

You must be kidding...
What kind of "overhead" is introducing code:
unsigned int src = 0x12345678;
unsigned int dst = ( ( src >> 24 ) & 0xFF ) | ( ( src >> 8) & 0xFF00 ) | ( ( src << 8 ) && 0xFF0000 ) | ( ( src << 24 ) & 0xFF000000 );

Bit-shifting and bit-wise and operators are any CPU native instructions (and one of the easiest to implement in hardware).

Overhead introduced by any text-based file format is hundred times bigger..

 

[creacon]

Even if it is fast, it's still overhead.
Who says I am using or planning to use a text base format?
Anyway, this problem has been solved a long time ago.
