So pretty much as the title says. When will the file validator support .ctb files from Chitubox for the Elegoo Mars Pro ?

This is such a great little piece of software. Would be great to see.

Yeah, this would be so nice, as the Mars Pro doesn't support the old file format at all.
I'm curious, is the file format known? I might be able to help with the coding if it is.

@Cylindric like all cbd-tech formats we will probably have to do the legwork of reversing it to learn how it works. It was like that for Photon and Cbddlp i don't see xinfu xie and the chitubox team giving away the bluprints this time around either, but do try pressing them on the chitubox FB page.
Alternative is to poke at it old style like we dif for the .photon with hex editors lots of files with known changes and comparisons. veles and binviz are a good open source starting point

Does this *.ctb files are the same that are used for plotters ? if yes it soul be possible to opened it by autocad.

In case this would be helpful: https://github.com/cbiffle/catibo/blob/master/doc/cbddlp-ctb.adoc

Just found your doc, haven't finished cross-referencing my field definitions with yours, but I think I've got some parts you haven't (and vice versa).

Edit: Oh, hey, looks like you're interested in phz too. https://github.com/cbiffle/catibo/blob/master/doc/phz.adoc

@X3msnake great finding, now it should be just a matter of coding and testing, all hacking and reverse engineering is already done. Any ideas when .ctb support will be ready :) ?

Which does a better job of detecting islands?
I'll continue to work on this if it's better than UVTOOLS for island detection.

Ok. Sounds like UVtools is the way to go.
Thanks for the info!

UVTools is only a Windows app, though =(

This would be so great if file validator could support the ctb files
