In the port, each dungeon door, stairway and field change built the party fresh at full HP. It also cleared their conditions and their timed buffs and debuffs. A Kite killed in one room walked into the next one whole. I found this while watching event 29's walk: Kite went down in room (0, 6), wandered at 0 HP, and was back at 63 in the next room.

The game

ccChar::SetBaseParam(ccSpcParam *) (gcmn 0x0056b690) is what gives the full HP. It sets HP and SP to the maximum and clears condition, tune, temp and time. What the game keeps across the rebuild is storeCondition[18] (gcmn 0x0072fb00, ccStoreCondition from DWARF, 0x70 bytes, by charTbl row). It holds the 16 condition shorts, speedValue, the ccSpcParam's temp and time, HP, SP, the maximums and conditionNum.

• Storing. ccStoreSpcCondition (0x0056cc40) fills the table from every built character. The next scene's ccSetupGameCtrl calls it first, as do ccEvent::MenuBan and the fountain's menu.
• Restoring. ccRestoreSpcCondition (0x0056cfc0) copies it back, right after SetBaseParam in ccPlayer::ccPlayer and in ccFellow::Initialize, for a character whose partyFlag is 1. It restores nothing in these cases:
  • in a town, so a town does heal the party;
  • after a log-in (areaPrev -1);
  • in field 13 while eventStatus[39] is 1.
• Ghosts. After the restore, both constructors turn a character with no HP into a ghost: SP 0, dead 4, ghostFlag, cloak 0.5. That is the state act 10 leaves a dead Kite in, so a ghost Kite walking at 0 HP is the game, not a bug.

The port

• The table. party::StoredCondition is one row, and Spcs::store[18] travels with the registry.
• Storing. FieldWorld::store_conditions and World::store_conditions store the built party when the session leaves a scene (AreaMode::leave, the town's change_scene).
• Restoring. Combat::restore is set before rebootSpcManager's constructors from party::restores_condition. Combat::add_kite and add_member then restore each character and stand it as a ghost if it has no HP.
• The check. the_party_keeps_its_hp_through_a_door takes Kite through area 26's first door twice:
  • at 17 HP and 5 SP, he is at 17 HP in the next room (SP has regenerated a point);
  • with no HP and dead 4, he comes back a ghost.

Around the event scenes

ccEvent::MenuBan (main 0x001b2460) calls ccStoreSpcCondition and then clears every registered character's conditions, buffs and debuffs (ClearCondition(ccSpcParam *)). MenuClr (0x001b25c0) calls ccRestoreSpcCondition and then ccSpcChar::ConditionAdjustment on each, which turns a down character into a ghost and stands a revived one up. So an event scene leaves the party exactly as it began, HP included, even over a heal the scene gave. FieldWorld::menu_ban_party now does both, through Combat::menu_ban_conditions and menu_clear_conditions, which carries out ConditionAdjustment's hit events as the frame does. menu_ban_keeps_the_partys_condition poisons Kite at 20 HP and bans. The poison is gone during the scene and HP stays at 20. It then heals him to 55 and clears, and he is back at 20 and poisoned.
