Game data tables

partialfrom#12 #13 #22 #25 #67 #78 #208 #275

The balance data compiled into the overlays. Every table here is an array of structs whose layout the DWARF gives in full, so the field names are the original ones; tools/tables.py dump ELF NAME --overlay gcmn prints any of them. Tables are read after the overlay's constructors have run.

enemyTbl, skillTbl and BossSkillTbl are declared without a length; the row counts come from their ELF symbol sizes (135,744, 17,024 and 3,416 bytes).

Shared records

Enemies, bosses and party characters share a base record, shown flattened as base.* (param.base.* in enemyTbl):

name        char *      display name
ccsname     char *      the model's CCS file, a DATA.BIN name without ".CCS"
type        s32
id          s32
level       s32
exp         s32
gold        s32
height      f32         collision
width       f32         collision
msg         pointer     the address of the row's message table

followed by maxHP, maxSP, and elm: battleAbility (pAtk, pDef, pHit, pEva, mAtk, mDef, mHit, mEva), attribute (soil, water, fire, wind, thunder, dark) and tolerance (spirit, body). Equipment carries the same elm block plus name, ccsname and auraSW. Print tools/dwarf1.py type SLUS_202.67 ccEnemyTable for the full layouts.

What the fields drive is on the engine pages. The enemy type bits, Exdefense (+0x64), the AI fields, entry and the skill and item effect fields are in battle (the skill types, hit and damage, enemy AI, items). How an area's enemyOfs and the lists enemyList00..enemyList46 pick the rows it registers is in area words and in battle's "Where the entries come from"; story areas take column 6.

Content

Party (charTbl, 18): Kite, Mia, Orca, Marlo, Sanjuro, Nuke Usagimaru, Balmung, Moonstone, Piros, Wiseman, Elk, Natsume, Rachel, Gardenia, Terajima Ryoko, BlackRose, Mistral, Helba.
Bosses (bossTbl, 49): Skeith, Inis, Magus, Fidhell, Gorre, Macha, Tarvos, Corbenik and later forms, Cubia and its cores, the Gomoras, and nine entries whose names are still Japanese.
Enemies: 303 rows, 279 distinct names; three rows at level 95-99 are named San=Hi/, AAAAAAA, DDDDDDD.

Other volumes

The same tables exist in every volume. tools/battle.py finds them from their accessor functions, since the stripped volumes' carried names are missing or wrong for some. For example, MUT's carried skillTbl points 0x11b0 bytes into the table, whose real start is 0x0064e2f0. What changes:

INF to MUT:
- charTbl and LevelUpParamTbl go from 18 to 21 rows; Kite now starts at level 30.
- skillTbl, 33 rows: the summons hit harder (atk 150/250/350/450 become 250/350/450/550), the Kruz element goes from 80 to 100, and Meooow's cost goes from 20 to 70.
- BossSkillTbl goes from 61 to 79 rows, with display names instead of internal ones.
- enemyTbl changes in 127 rows ("Temple Night" becomes "Temple Knight") and bossTbl in 27 ("Inis" becomes "Innis").
- Armour changes mostly as smaller pHit/pEva penalties. Weapons 1, 4 and 6 each gain a row: "Last Betrayal", "Fate Encounter", "Ludicrous".
MUT to OUT: skillTbl 20 rows (the Don/Zot dmgRates go up), enemyTbl 84 rows, 10 equipment and 51 item name fixes, and charTbl 15 rows.
OUT to QUA: only charTbl, in 14 rows.
expCalcTbl, ccEntryRaceTbl, dataDrainErosionTbl and the erosion table are identical in all four.
