This entry answers what was left open by question 2 of Speech: the NPC lines.

Hole 26 (DB26) has a Reptar, id 9999 (template 8, hierarchy 9). The hole's setup puts him in mode 8 (0x80083918) and schedules him.

Mode 8's handler (0x80084fc4 in 0x80084084) goes after the player with +0x688 bit 64, or keeps to home with bit 2. With neither he stands, as the port's Mode::Idle already has him. At its end (0x80085168) there is level 26's own part. The countdown 0x800c4ce4, shared with the hub's line timer, goes down by dt. At 0 it draws rand % 3:

  • 0: sound 144 at him;
  • 1: sound 145 at him;
  • 2: line 1134.

Then the countdown goes back to 1000.

The golf script now does this while he is shown. Test: hole_26_reptar_roars hears at least two noises in 250 frames.

Resolved from earlier entries: 55.2, the prowler's sounds 144/145 and line 1134.

Still unknown
  1. The countdown's value when the hole starts; the port starts at 0.
  2. 0x800c4614's pending line (the other half of 55.2).
