Map Documentation

Maps are separated into many parts. I do not fully understand it myself.

A map is first loaded by calling a pointerlist of databases for the map. These are Entrance Datablocks.

FF FF FF FF FF seems like a 'end' for each chunk.
TODO: Investigate DD a little more. Not all is as it seems. Might cause problems if used recklessly.

Objectlist

Arcs field doesn't have any objects, but it works roughly like the monster list above.

DD = Destination Entrance Pointer

Map Information;

I couldn't for the life of me 100% figure this out. The notes here might not even be right.

Examples taken from the ROM to study them. They 'are' 'some kind' of mapping data, it's just hard to figure out exactly what.
Notes here are messy.

Text Documentation

Addresses-
00066617 - Some Endgame Text and Item Names
0008DEC6 - Item Descriptions

The text itself is compressed. Common words (or parts of words) have a Database (Stored at 0x12030D). The text engine quickly swaps out 1 byte pointers for the text within this database. This means that instead of using 2 or more bytes for a bunch of characters, they can use 1 byte in text and call as many characters as they want.
Whatever word processor you use must support long-length .tbl files. Thing32 is ugly, but it does the job and even has a search(Taking the compression into consideration).
The .tbl file can be found here: http://pastebin.com/StZpmqxa
Simply paste it into any txt document and rename it from .txt to .tbl

Some bytes, however, act as commands to (I think) engage scripting commands. F6 for example seems to do a bunch of functions.

Shop Documentation

0x000183C0 - Shop Database Address.
Shop format = ## ## ?? ??
?? = Unknown
## = Item ID

Take note that each item has it's own value within the item properties itself.

Item Documentation

0x18A02 = Item database. 
Each item has a value for a name, description, value and a stat modifier.
The ItemIDs themselves simply act as multipliers for the item pointer itself. So the IDs are not stated anywhere.

Format;
78 71 C6 C1 DE C8 00 00 00 = Apple
98 75 C6 D4 F1 C8 B8 0B 01 = Copper Sword 
4F 76 C6 42 F5 C8 40 1F 01 = Leather Armor
NN NN NN DD DD DD MM MM SS
NN = Item Name Pointer
DD = Item Description Pointer
MM = Cost to buy/sell. (not 100% accurate? Seems to be a multiplier)
SS = Stat Modifier. Depend on what type of item it is, this value is used to set the 'value' of an item. Armor, for instance.

NPC Documentation

NPCs are a Object. In case you haven't looked at what the object syntax is, here is the basic object syntax.

0x800 = Save2 Backup?
"brain0" at save0/1 made on first startup.
If the normal save somehow gets corrupt but the backup is normal, it will revert.
If the game (somehow) tells that the backup AND the normal save has been corrupted somehow, "Memory#Erased"-
-will appear on bootup and wipe both the backup and the real save.

ASM Routines

0x0023BE  = Controls how many inventory pages you can go through (Adding more space is, of course, more difficult than just modifying the page count)

Map slightly messes up (Until the mob dies). A mob HP Counter appears on the top right of the screen. USeems to try and attack other mobs(Even if non-arena), but won't be able to inflict damage on non-arena mobs.

Magic Properties

It would've been nice if I kept where the pointer datablock was.

Magic Format
3D 71 C6 2F 01 D2 28 23 08 00 32 00 - 
NN NN NN TT TT TT ?? ?? DD ?? RR CC

NNTT = Name and text pointers? Relationship unknown.
DD = Damage 
RR = Charge Requirement Time
CC = Collision Type

COllision Types;
00 = None

Monster Properties

I should've documented this a little more. At least paid attention to the actual address. Meh..

Mob Properties Database? Called from Pointer List at ~00060000
HH PP MM MM ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? AA ??
01 00 00 00 00 00 AA AA 20 17 0C
HH = Health
PP = Power on hit
MM = Money on Drop
AA = Speed while moving?

Object IDs

To do: Check more IDs

These are to be used within a maps 'object list'.

Format is 00 00 OO PP PP 00 00.. 00 = Appears to be padding between each object(They're literally 0000).

OO = Object ID

PP = Parameters.

• 0x01 - Chest

Follows Format: .. OO II II LL FF(?) ..
OO = The object ID. In this case, 01, for chest.    
II = Item to Give (By ItemID)
LL = The chests 'locked' state. Perhaps also checks what flag to use for the chests 'has this been opened' state?
FF = If not, this value most likely is what flag value to check.

• 0x03 - Invisible teleport spot

Mostly unknown on how to properly use it.  Example use is the teleport to/from the Desert. 
The teleport is not linked to the blue sprite, it's its own invisible entity.
The parameters from the desert teleport is .. OO A8 4C 03 00 16 1D C6 (OO being the object, 0x03 in this case)

• 0x05 - Wall Object(?)

Follows format(?): .. OO TT ..
OO = Object (This case, 0x05)
TT = Tile ID (?)
Mostly unknown

• 0x06 - Person NPC

Look at the 'npc documentation' section for more information

• 0x07 - Pushable Object

Format is: .. OO BB ..
OO = Object (0x07)
BB = The actual 'Pushable Objects' ID

Known Objects:
0x00 = Solid normal rock
0x01 = Pushable wall from the Tower of Light
0x02 = The pushable wall from the Abell Ruins that was required to solve a puzzle.
0x03 = Drogg statue
0x04 = Volcano Wall(?). Can't tell, my current testing environment doesn't seem to have the proper palette.
0x07 = Glitchy mess(?) Still moveable. Stops other objects from loading.

• 0x08 - Brown Pushable Ball

Doesn't seem to have any variants(?). Brown only ball.

• 0x09 - Auto moving floor platforms from the Tower of Light

 Known format: .. OO AA ..
OO = Object (0x09)
AA = AI

0x00 = Moves down 2 tiles.
0x01 = Moves down 3 tiles.
0x02 = Moves  up  2 tiles.
0x03 = Moves  up  3 tiles.
0x04 = Moves down 1 tiles.
0x05 = Moves  up  1 tiles.
0x06 = Moves right1 tiles.
0x07 = Moves left 1 tiles.
0x08 = Moves right2 tiles.
0x09 = Moves left 2 tiles.
0x0A = moves left 3 tiles.
0x0B = moves down 1 tiles.
0x0C = moves down 1 tiles.
The AI will move back and forth

• 0x0C - Proximity Tile

Known format: .. OO TT ..
OO = Object (0x0C)
TT = Tile

0x00 = Spikes
0x01 = Wall from Tower of Light
0x02 = Cracked wall from Tower of Light

Need to figure these out. Little strange

• 0x0D - Floor Light Switch

Unknown format. The first byte seems to change what tile the light switch turns into once pressed, but it's kind of weird looking.
Also does nothing if the room isn't meant to have light(It's not dark).

• 0x0E - Healing Fountain

Known format: .. OO FF TT TT
OO = Object (0x0E)
FF = Fountain type
TT = Text pointer, only used in specific cases.

Types:
0x00 = Normal (Heals you)
0x01 = Hurts a little and causes paralysis
0x02 = Hurts a little and causes poison
0x03 = Frozen graphic. Calls text(Or script?) pointer.
0x04 = Normal graphic. Calls text(Or script?) pointer.
In the Ice Palace, there was a fountain that was frozen, called text, 'and' poisoned you. 
Rather or not the poison was caused by the text, or the fountains object, is unknown.
It's also possible the bits themselves control the effects, not the byte. So perhaps a byte that contains the bits for 0x02 and 0x03 would poison and call text with a frozen graphic?

• 0x0F - Item On Ground

Known format: .. OO II FF FF
OO = Object (0x0F)
II = ItemID. Usable Items only (Category 00?)
FF = Flag to use, so this item can't be picked up more than once

• 0x10 - Pushable Red Ball

The ball that stalks you.
No known variants(?)

• 0x11 - Pushable Blue Ball

The ball that bounces.
Known format: .. OO AA ..
OO = Object (0x11)
AA = AI(?)

0F = Bounces forever
else bounces only for a few bounces.

• 0x12 - Pushable Ice Blocks

Known format(?) .. OO AA ..
OO = Object (0x12)
AA = AI(?)

Moving ice seems to move randomly. It's hard to track which AI values do what. But I'm 'sure' there is a difference.

• 0x13 - 'Summon Objects' Floor Button

Known format: .. OO SS XX YY TT ..
OO = Object (0x13)
SS = Object to spawn
XX = X Coord
YY = Y Coord
TT = Tile the switch turns into (See 0x0D, light floor switch)

Known objects to spawn are
0x00 = Pushable Ice
0x01 = Pushable brown ball

It appears the XY coords arn't the same coords normally used when placing objects on a map. Unless I'm understanding it wrong?

• 0x14 - Pushable Sliding Ice

Seems to have no known variables.

• 0x15 - Pushable Sliding AND Bouncing Ice (UNUSED?)

Seems to trigger other ice blocks in the room to move depending on the one-byte(?) variable? Need to look into.

• 0x17 - 'Hitable' Chest

Known format: .. OO HH ..
OO = Object (0x17)
HH = HP
Then the chest is killed. It'll spawn Tower of Light floor tiles everywhere, like the normal in-game puzzle chest. If the environment palette is wrong, it'll look messy.
When I placed it the few times I tried, it also appeared invisible..?

• 0x19 - Door Tile(?)

Known format(?): .. OO DD ..
0xOO = Normal door (Didn't seem to specify WHICH normal door in my notes here..oops)
0x03 = Open door (Assumed to be the opened door of the above)
Keep in mind that when you 'move' into another room, you do so by another object or entity or something. The door itself is not the 'teleporter'.

• 0x1A - Misc Equippable Item on Ground

Used like 0x0F. Except for 'misc' equippable items, like the Revival Mirror.
I didn't specify in my notes, but I assume it uses '05 type' items.

• 0x1B - Invisible Wall(?)

What? Must look into

• 0x1C - Spike Ball

Mostly unknown. It's the spike ball from the Ice Palace.
I feel it's safe to assume it has a AI variable, like the moving floor tiles. 
I haven't documented them, however.

• 0x1D - Invisible Wall(?)

Another one?
My notes say there is a variable which allows this wall to display text when interacted with.
I didn't define interact, I also didn't specify which variable. 
Need to look into.

• 0x1F - Controllable Moving Platforms from Abell Ruins

Doesn't seem like there is any variables. I didn't specify. Need to test.

• 0x20 - Floating Platforms from Tower of Light

Known format: .. OO AA ..
OO = Object (0x20)
AA = AI (See object 0x09)
These ones move when jumped on, instead of automatically. Uses same AI pattern as 0x09

• 0x26 - Tile(?)

Known format(?): .. OO TT TT ..
OO = Object (0x26)
TT = Tile(?)

0x0002 = Tower of Light wall top
0x0003 = Pitch black?
0x0004 = Wall with plaque(I didn't specify if it could be interacted with. Need to test.)
0x0007 = Floral floor panel(As soon from Brainlords main tcrf page, unused room 50. I didn't specify if it could be used to teleport. Must test.)
0x0008 = Pit into 'Background' (Blue swirl pit in Tower of Light)

• 0x29 - NPC Script on Entry(?)

I didn't seem to test this much. Must look into. 
Unknown format

• 0x2B - Graphic Script(?)

Seen used in the Desert for the 'waving sand' effect. Need to test more.
Unknown format

• 0x31 - Save Statue

I assume this has 'some' variable to tell it perhaps which save point you're using. Maybe not. Must test.
Unknown format

• 0x32 - Graphic Script(?)

My notes only say 'Wavy pit?'. Perhaps it's for the Tower of Light background. Must test.
Unknown format

• 0x33 - Teleport Hole

This teleport comes with the object. It's used to get from Toronto to the Desert.
Mostly Unknown format. Notes say to use 33 02 E6 43 C6 FF
FF = Flag (I assume to disable the hole, since it's no longer there once you beat the Ice Palace)

• 0x35 - Dragon

The dragon as seen in the cutscene where you meet him at Drogg. Has no collision and no way of interacting with him.
Unknown format. Must look into

• 0x36 - Fog Effect

Need to look into.
Unknown format.

• 0x37 - Freezes Sprites(?)

Need to look into.
Unknown format.

• 0x38 - Freezes Sprites, but not Player(?)

Need to look into.
Unknown format.

• 0x39 - Dragon Dying

Starts ending cutscene. Need to look into.
Unknown format.

• 0x3A - Credits

The credits roll on the screen, although you can still move around and see your environment.
Normally the credits are used in a 'blank area', so it appears no idea is loaded, but the credits are just a giant object.
Need to look into. Unknown format.

• 0x3B - Earthquake

As seen in the ending sequence. Wee! Need to look into.
Unknown format.

• 0x3C - 'Map Opening' screen transition for the post-credits ending sequence

Breaks alot of stuff, my notes say. Of course it doesn't specific what, though. Need to look into.
Unknown format.

• 0x3D - 'Fin' map effect

Need to look into.
Unknown format.

• 0x3E - Something?

Notes just call it "...?" with nothing else with it. Need to look into?
Unknown format.

• 0x43 - Script(?)

Notes have no, well, notes on this. Need to look into.
Unknown format.

There might be more 'non-obvious' objects that can be triggered. I'll need to find the pointers of all the objects and see if there is a proper list somewhere in ROM.

Cutscene Information

Alot of this won't make too much sense, since I didn't look into it too much.

The cutscene documented is the cutscene where you find Kashian in the second floor of the inn after you first start playing.
