Map Structures

Structural definitions for the game's maps start at DE2C. Each definition is in the following format:

  • Byte 0: unknown
  • Byte 1: map archetype, determining graphics, metatiles?, map chunks -- 0 = overworld, 5 = indoors, others
  • Byte 2: width (in 16x16 chunks of metatiles)
  • Byte 3: height (in 16x16 chunks of metatiles)
  • The next (width * height) bytes are chunk IDs that define the actual map structure (left-to-right, top-to-bottom?). Each map archetype has its own set of chunks -- I haven't looked into where/how those are defined.

Scripts

As you'd expect from an RPG of any real complexity, the game has a fairly elaborate scripting system. Aside from dialogue, scripts are used to load and transition between maps; the object layout, starting player positions, etc. for a map are all set up by the script that loads it.

  • ROM 2EE33 is part of the script that loads the second "mountain inn" in the US version; it's a pointer to the structure definition to be loaded from bank 3. The immediately following commands set up the objects for the map.

Memory Addresses

C2B0+ = passability of tiles surrounding player
  FF = impassable, 00 = passable
  - freeze 9 bytes for walk through walls
C2D1 = player tile x-position
C2D2 = player tile y-position
C2E2 = target map archetype on map load
C2E5 = random encounter "group"? (0 = no encounters?)
C361-C362 = pointer to currently inactive/yielded script?
C900 = script variables?
C960 = script stack?
