| Yeah, I have returned, And I'm here to repost what I posted on the old board- the really-ultra-huge gamefaqs board topic that had a LOT of data in it, so here it is, directly from the texfile of it I have saved on my hard-drive, I wrote the commentary a while ago, and it looks stupid to me now, but meh.

What the hell is a TSA table anyway? I don't remember half this stuff XD (this was in my file but i think disch wrote it) Quick Explanation of how maps work: RLE Compression: There are 80h tiles used for maps only, so it uses 7 bits. If the high (8th) bit is on, though, then the byte after says how many of those tiles go in a row. For example: 40 37 81 04 60 9B 20 40 and 37 just make one of each of the respective tiles cause the high bit is off. On the 81 however, the high bit is on, then there are four tile 01s after that (subtract 80 for the high bit to get the 01, and the next byte says 4 of them) After that, there's a tile 60, then thirty-two (20h) tile 1Bs. There are a lot of maps in the game, sorted into two main categories, basically the maps on the floating continent, and maps not on it. If you use a debugger or memory viewer (i like nnnesterj's for this) and byte $0078, if it's 00 or 01 means you're on the floating continent. If it's 02 or above you're not. Byte $0048 tells the specific map. Following is a short list of what i've written down, it takes a while though and i got bored... (my stuff again) FINDING A MAP'S ROM LOCATION To find a map's location in the rom, basically you take the map number from $0048, and you take the following byte from the ROM 00A10 + $0048 if it's on the floating continent 00B10 + $0048 if it's not on the floating continent Take that value, go to 22010 + twice that byte to get a pointer (two byte pointers, thats why you double it) Add the pointer value to 22010 and you've got the location of the map. List of Maps Hex number, Game, index, pointer adress already reversed 00 = Falling 01 = Ur Elder's Treasure B5 = Altar Cave - Starting Map (pointer 00) -> 0200 (22210) 73 = Altar Cave - 2nd Map (pointer 63) -> 664E (2865E) 94 = First Crystal 72 = Ur (Main) 01 = Ur (Back House - Items) 02 = Ur (Back House) 03 = Ur (Magic) 04 = Ur (Armor) 05 = Ur (Weapon) 06 = Ur (Elder) 07 = Ur (Elder - Elder's Room) 08 = Ur (Inn) 09 = Ur (Inn - Bar) 0A = Kazus (Main) 0B = Kazus (Revivification) 0C = Kazus (Inn - Beds) 0D = Kazus (Inn - Main) 0E = Kazus (Blacksmith) 12 = Sasoon Castle (Main) 13 = Sasoon Castle (Left Tower - 1F) 14 = Sasoon Castle (Left Tower - 2F) 15 = Sasoon Castle (Left Tower - 4F) 16 = Altar Cave (Starting, Coming back later) 17 = Sasoon Castle (Left Tower - 3F) 18 = Argus Castle (Round Table) 19 = Sasoon Castle (Castle - Main) 1A = Sasoon Castle (Castle - 2F) 1C = Sasoon Castle (Castle - 3F) 1D = Sasoon Castle (Castle - 4F/Throne) 56 = Dwarf Place (Main) 5F = Cid's Airship (1st) 65 = Mithril Mine (Main) 6F = Altar Cave (Main) 70 = Altar Cave (Secret) 71 = Altar Cave (Skeletons) 93 = Ur (Well) 96 = Altar Cave (Skeletons) AE = Sasoon Castle (Right Tower - 1F) AF = Sasoon Castle (Right Tower - 2F) B1 = Sasoon Castle (Right Tower - 3F) B2 = Sasoon Castle (Right Tower - 1F) B6 = Castle (Water) I know you can find stuff like what each weapon byte does easily enough, this is just stuff that would take a bit of extra testing that i already have written down, might as well save you some time Spell Effect Byte's Effects (seem to be special cases instead of bit-encoded) 00: Flare, Meteo, Holy, Bahamut, Quake, Leviathan, Fire 3, Bio, Aero 2, Odin, Bolt 3, Titan, Ice 3, Ifrit, Fire 2, Ice 2, Bolt 2, Ramuh, Bolt, Aero, Shiva, Fire, Ice, Chocobo, Venom, Break 00h Does damage and inflicts negative status equal to the status byte. 01: Cure 4, Cure 3, Cure 2, Cure 01h Cures HP. Dunno about the status byte, but if i were a betting man, I'd say it inflicted negative status. Note: Cure 4 has DC as its power, but it heals full Hp though... Special Case? 02: WWind 02h: Has W.Wind's effect. Dunno about status, probably inflicts it. 03: Drain 03h: Drains HP. Dunno about status, probably inflicts it. 04: Blind, Mute, Confu, Brak2, Sleep, Death, Kill, Warp, Exit, Shade 04h Inflicts negative status equal to the status byte. 05: Life, Life2 05h is the life spells. Seems to cure negative status and heal HP if the status was cured. Dunno if it works for anything other than healing death. The power byte effects the HP healed. 06: Pure, Wash, Soft, Heal 06h Heals status equal to the status byte. 07: Mini, Toad 07h Heals and cures status equal to the status byte. 08: Safe 08h Gives defense. The power byte seems to control the amount it increases. Dunno about status, probably inflicts it. 09: Haste 09h has haste's effect. The power byte seems to control the amount it increases (hence why white wizard's haste works better than a godswine). Dunno about status, probably inflicts it. 0A: Wall 0Ah has wall's effect. Dunno about status, probably inflicts it. 0B: Erase 0Bh has erase's effect. Dunno about status, probably inflicts it. 0C: Sight 0Ch has sight's effect. Dunno about status, probably inflicts it. 0D: Libra 0Dh has libra's effect. Dunno about status, probably inflicts it. 0Eh - 11h are glitchy 12h: Exploder 13h - 15h are glitchy 16h-18h are glitchy 19h: Escapes battle when spell is cast. Everything else is glitchy This info was directly quoted from Gamefaqs boards. I'd write a link but theres some weird thing there that doesn't allow direct links to work. Credits(who posted this stuff): sqpat17(everything but the "umm..."post and 1st data locations),Drakkhen8(the "Umm..." post),instructrtrepe(first data listing)." So there it is for whoever wants it. |

Really? Wow, i'm glad some peopel are still interested in FF3j, I may attempt to write an editor when I'm proficient at Java, that won't be for a long time though, so don't get youur hopes up. I just started to learn it in October. But the event data sounds good, looks like the entire rom may be mapped soon.  Especially since event data must be a lot of it, its a very long game,(for the NES atleast) and theres only about 25% of the ROM left according to that file. |

Awesome! I saved it to my computer, so it's safe. I don't like to lose important data. plus, saving everythign so I could read it without the internet is an old habit from when I had AOL dialup... It was VERY bad. Anyway, the data looks great, I may try a bit later, when I can get back on after my brothers shot at the computer, to find a pattern with or at least get some more event locations, great job finding that stuff, and thanks! |

| To get the text in the hex editor to be what it displays in the rom, get a table file for FF1 from somewhere, and if your hex editor doesn't support table files, then get a new one. If you go to the address with the table file in use, what the hex code translates to as text in the ROM will show up somewhere, just change that until it says what you want it too. |
