This page contains notes for the game Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals.

EV(ent) Flags

Information

  • 2-7 tell the game that the respective character is in your party.
  • 21-118 are various story triggers.
  • 196 actually works also in the standard game and "Retry" mode, and does indeed allow you to switch all party members at will. Keep in mind that Selan is required at Doom Island; otherwise the game will freeze because no one else has the Light spell.
  • 250-255 seem to be special dungeon events; they're very frequently activated after defeating bosses.
  • The effects of blank entries are unknown as of yet.
  • There is no event flag for 'Retry'-mode exp/gold. it could be that this information is stored in the TP Registers instead.

Notes

Map names are stored in ASCII, and there's two control codes: $00 (end string) and $0A (compression). For compression, the $0A control code is followed by a 16 bit value, where the lower 12 bits is the start address to copy from (+878000) and the upper 4 bits is the number of bytes to copy -2.

Example:

Location 03 Elcid (outside)

          E l c i d
87883B | 456C636964 00
-----
Location 04 Elcid (inside rooms)

878841 | 0A3B38 00
           ^^^^
           Byteswap, result is 383B.
           Add 2 to the first digit.  Result is 5, the number of bytes to copy.
           Next, add the next three digits (83B) to 878000.  Result is 87883B, the start address to copy from.
  • 61-67 - These are supposed to be copies of the name Phantom Tree Mountain for use in the inside caves, but the game doesn't display the map name for them. The $15 / 21 decimal byte length of Phantom Tree Mountain can't be represented by the 4 bits allocated for the number of bytes to copy during decompression, so only $05 bytes are copied instead. The result is just Phant for these entries.
  • D2-D7 - With only 12 bits to represent the decompression start address, the range is limited to 878000-878FFF. But the start address for Gratze is 879028. The game ends up pulling data from 878028 instead. The data there is pointers, resulting in gibberish text.
  • D9 - The inside rooms in Narvick. It has a decompression error for the name Narvick (like Gratze / '3y), but this isn't seen as the map name isn't displayed for this location. Pulls data from 878072 instead of 879072.
  • E1,E5 - off-by-one error for the number of bytes to copy results in " Towe" instead of " Tower".
  • ED - This name contains ` (ASCII 0x60), which isn't in the font graphics.
  • EF - Decompression error, pulls data from 878103 instead of 879103. Correct name is Capsule Monsters Cave, but also has the missing ` issue.

Text Control Code $0A

(This section corresponds to the Japanese version Estpolis Denki II)

Text control code $0A for the main dialogue is similar to the map name decompression for the North American version seen in the above section. The $0A byte is followed by a 16-bit value, where the lower 12 bits is how many bytes to jump back, and the upper 4 bits is the number of bytes to copy -2.

  • Example 1:

Estpolis Denki II control code 0A example 1 1.pngEstpolis Denki II control code 0A example 1 2.png

Create 5 character string "0GOLD" on the third line of the second textbox by copying "0GOLD" from the second line of the first textbox.

                  Byteswap, result is 301E.
                  Add 2 to the first digit.  Result is 5, the number of bytes to copy.
                  Next, subtract the next three digits (01E) from the address that's 1 byte after the $0A control code byte (86C15C).
                  86C15C - 01E =  86C13E
  • Example 2:

This is a modified example of the above just to show the maximum distance to jump back:

                  ^^^^
                  Byteswap, result is 3FFF.
                  Add 2 to the first digit.  Result is 5, the number of bytes to copy.
                  Next, subtract the next three digits (FFF) from the address that's 1 byte after the $0A control code byte (86C15C).
                  86C15C - FFF =  86B15D

$00-FF

Estpolis Denki II 0D8000 0D97FF font.png

$00-0F are various control codes. $10 is the space character.

  • $02 might be used to auto-close a textbox after it's finished - TODO: find an example.
  • $04 is used to create pauses as the text is being written (eg, 321 countdown as the thieves try to escape the Alunze Castle throne room) For the parameter byte, when bit 0x80 is clear, the remaining bits are used as an index to change the "typewriter" sound effect as text is being printed in message boxes (TODO: verify and add more notes). When bit 0x80 is set, each digit increase represents a delay of around 10 frames. A common delay command seen is 04 83 - 30 frames or a half second. A 1 second delay is created with 04 86. The counter used is a single byte; the maximum possible delay is around 4 seconds, and would be represented with 04 98 or maybe 04 99 (needs more research), though it's unlikely there's any delay that long used in the script.
  • $09 is the hero's name you entered at the start of a new game (default "マキシム" / "Maxim") The name can be up to 5 characters, and is stored at memory address FIXME 7Exxxx-7Exxxx
  • $0A is used for compression in the main dialogue. For item and spell descriptions in menus, it's used as a line break.
