dialogue ID's are 12 bits long
bits 10-12 are used to determine the bank

-------------
dialogue ID is number
It is correct??
ex) 1 or 92 or 206
Dialogue ID is 12bits long??
206 is 12bits?????
I cant understand...

here is the procedure by which to find the exact offset of the dialogue
d = dialogue ID

if (d AND 0xFE00) < 8
(d + 0x2206E3) = offset
else (d AND 0xFE00) - 8
if (d AND 0xFE00 - 8) < 4
(d + 0x237583) = offset
else (d AND 0xFE00 - 12)
if (d AND 0xFE00 - 12) < 4
(d + 0x24531E) = offset
else end

if (d AND 0xFE00) < 8 ????
it is
if ((d < 8) && (0xFE00 < 8)) ????
I cant understand...

Last view: 3226 days 		The texts of dialogues starts at
0x220008

The pointer table that found at
0x37E000

The text block for the first part of this dialogue divided into 4 part

Part1
Dialogue: 0x220008 (512 dialogue)
Pointer table: 0x37E000

Part2
Dialogue: 0x2206E3 (512 dialogue)
Pointer table: 0x37E400

Part3
Dialogue: 0x226759 (512 dialogue)
Pointer table: 0x37E800

Part4
Dialogue: 0x22B2B8 (512 dialogue)
Pointer table: 0x37EC00

Calculation of pointers
Part1: 0x220000 $0800 (little endian)
Part2: 0x220002 $E306 (little endian)
Part3: 0x220004 $5967 (little endian)
Part4: 0x220006 $B8B2 (little endian)

To simplify the calculation pointer we change the start address:

Part1: 0x220000 $0800 (little endian)
Part2: 0x220002 $0800 (little endian)
Part3: 0x220004 $0800 (little endian)
Part4: 0x220006 $0800 (little endian)
