Back in the town with the field's party: the registry carried, the members at their StartPos

Worklog 103 left one gap. The session carried ccSpcManager and ccPartyManager from the town into a field and from area to area, but not back into a town: Mac Anu always started from a new game's registry. In the game both are globals, so the town's set-up builds the party the field left.

Where a returning member stands

ccGetStartPositions(1, 2, 3) (gcmn 0x0059ff50) runs before rebootSpcManager:

• WORLD_MAN::SetCharPosition fills StartPos[0..3] by party slot. In a town that is the start, then the start + (200, 100), + (-200, 100) and
  • (0, 300), all facing Kite's way.
• Then each registered slot 1-4 gets its pos and dirc (+0x20, +0x30): a party member's from its party slot's scalars (+0x04-+0x10), anyone else the origin facing 0.
• The loop reads the scalars and writes the vectors, so one slot's write cannot spoil another's read.

ccFellow::Initialize then stands the character at StartPos[listNum], its registry slot.

Before. The port's town built every fellow at the origin. That was right only for characters registered outside the party, whom their entry's marker then moves.

The port

• World::set_spcs takes the area's Spcs, with every bootParam 0 as the old area's ccThSpcDelete leaves them.
• The session gives it the Spcs right after WorldMode::enter on a change of scene into a town. Logging in still starts a new game's registry, as ccSetupNewGame does.
• The town's build_spc places each fellow at its StartPos (start_of, using the field's party_starts for the town's offsets).

Checked

• the_town_takes_the_party_back:
  • It starts in area 31 with Piros in the party and Gates Out to Mac Anu.
  • The town's party is [0, 8, -1], with Piros at (200, 5700, 600).
  • Event 22's town blocks are kept out by setting eventStatus[0]: they are written for a party without Piros, and their member_add would add him a second time.
• event_11_church_ends_with_blackrose_out now checks Mac Anu's own party again. Before, that check passed only because the town ignored the field.
