Documented in The story maps - EVENTAREA01 (area 13), EVENTAREA02 (area 15), EVENTAREA03 (area 43), EVENTAREA07 (area 16), EVENTAREAB0 (the boss arenas) and EVENTAREAB8 (Kyvia's disc), Leaving the town - Kite in a field and its dungeon.

GAPS listed the other EVENTAREA classes under "After Infection", but one of them is Infection's. Side event 62, "SERVER1", opens once event 30 (the ending) is done. It gives area 16's words with a mail and Virus Core T, then waits in the area's dungeon (event point 1, a magic portal of code 214). Area 16's EVENTAREA_INFO.model is 1, so GO(1) builds EVENTAREA07, not a generated field. The port gave it a generated field.

Which classes Infection needs. GO(1)'s table: 13 → 01, 15 → 02, 16 → 07, 43 → 03, 66 → 04, 67 → 05, 91 → 06, 9-12 → B8, 1-8 → B0. Of the events Infection walks, only event 62 names one of the unported areas (16). The others' areas appear only in later volumes' scripts.

The class (gcmn 0x00405a00-0x00406cdc, docs/engine/evarea.md, "Area 16") follows EVENTAREA02's shape with its own pieces:

  • Block 0 has 8 static models (the arm), 2 animated objects (a floor and wind) and 4 background clumps: the sky and three cloud layers.
  • Its light animation has one distant light.
  • 25 CLOUDs of type 1 (already ported for Dun Loireag) and a LENSFLARE draw on effLayer.
  • The background bobs: DrawBG steps a z by fieldrand(25) between 0 and 350, turning at the ends, and draws the four clumps there.
  • The start is DMY_marker02 when game.areaPrev is 2 (back from the dungeon), else DMY_marker01.
  • Enter from block 0 is ChangeArea(2, 0).

STATICMODEL::SetPos and STATICOBJECT::SetPos were read: they copy the position once, and the model's hit takes the translation.

Block 1 names se1_7_2's models through se1_7_1's handle, and its start, DMY_marker03, is in neither file. No Infection script reaches it. The port reads block 1 from se1_7_2 and keeps the start when the marker is missing.

The port.

  • piney_world::evarea07::Giant, held as Place::Giant, with arms beside Arena's wherever the place is matched.
  • StorySprite gained rotate, a CLOUD's turn, which the game's effects now pass to ccEff.
  • Checks: the_giants_blocks (both blocks' pieces, the hits HIT_se1_7ob1hit on MDL_se1_7ob1_1 and HIT_se1_7ob1_5hit, the lights, the clouds, the door), the_background_bobs, and the session's the_giants_door_to_its_dungeon_and_back. That test arrives at DMY_marker01 with area 16's event bank, walks up the arm into the dungeon (area 2, field 16), comes back with GoField to a new map, and stands at DMY_marker02.
  • A shot (--mode field:16) shows the arm, the doorway, the sky and the clouds. --press 200-1300:lup walks into the dungeon, whose look is the data-noise one.
Still unknown

Nothing here was compared with a picture of the game. Event 62 was not played through: the mail, the words, the portal at event point 1 and the scene back to the town were not run end to end. Whether the game's GetChunkAdrsF falls back to other loaded files for block 1 was not read.
