Script File Format Documentation

This is information for the stageXX.bin files that are found in DATA.BIN of the game's ISO. There are 12 script files.

$0-$2000	Pointer Table
$2001-EOF	Script

Pointer Table

The pointer table has a repeating pattern of a Script Index and Pointer.
Script Index is 4 bytes long and is stored in little-endian.
Pointer is 4 bytes long and is stored in little-endian.
To get the true offset of the pointer add $2000 to the value.
For example, a pointer value of 00 E1 0C 00 ($CE100) means the true offset is at $D0100.
The table is always $2000 bytes long allowing for a maximum of 1024 entries.
If there is less than 1024 entries the table section is padded with $00's.

Script

One pointer can have as many lines of text and has no length limitations.

Font Info

All text is Shift-JIS encoded with fullwidth characters being 2 bytes long and 20 pixels wide while halfwidth characters are 1 byte long and 10 pixels wide.
In SLPM_663.60 the font is located at $1A3E90 as 4BPP graphics, its palette is stored at $25E4C0, and the fontmap is at $1A31F0.
font.py extracts the fontmap from SLPM_663.60 to create a quick font.tbl table file.
Use kefin.tbl for corrected values and control codes.

Control codes

Hex Values	Meaning	Table file
`$0A`	Newline	`[LINE]\n`
`$23` $XXXX	Normally `#`, change colour of text based on ASCII values of $XXXX (See Colour Section)	`[HASH]`
`$2F $XXXX`	Normally `/`, unknown, $XXXX is stored in little-endian	`/<$XX><$XX>`
`$3B $XX`	Show character name in dialoague box (see Character section)	`[CHAR]`
`$44 $XXXXXXXX`	Normally `D`, jump to new text with given Script Text (see above)	`[INDEX]`
`$XX $80`	Print $XX number of bytes	`[LEN]`
`$FF`	End text?	`[END]`
`$81A5`	Normally `▼`, wait for player input	`[WAIT]`
`$FFFD $XX`	Pause printing text for $XX frames(?)	`[PAUSE]`

Colours

The value of the $23 Colour control code translates to the ASCII values of the two bytes after the code.
White is the default colour for text.

Hex values	ASCII	Meaning
`$77 $68`	`wh`	White
`$67 $72`	`gr`	Green
`$62 $6C`	`bl`	Blue
`$70 $69`	`pi`	Pink
`$79 $6C`	`yl`	Yellow
`$72 $65`	`re`	Red

Characters

The value of the $3B Character control code comes from the index value from a list of pointers.
These pointers are found at $2298E0 in SLPM_663.60 and pointer.py can be used to extract this list.
