World Map Triggers

This info was put together by Lazy Bastard of GameHacking.org, with info and help from others as noted below.

b0ardface said: "World map triggers are the same format as indoor triggers, they’re just located elsewhere I believe" Pinkpuff said: "That’s my understanding as well"

b0ardface said: "Yep — CFE60, first six bytes are offsets to overworld/underworld/moon, CFE66-CFFFF are the triggers" "There appears to be no additional free room after the triggers to add more, so you’d have to change existing triggers or do a hack to expand that area backwards"

chillyfeez said: "World map triggers are preceded by six bytes indicating the offsets that begin overworld, underworld and moon, in that order." "So you can move some triggers between worlds if you need to." "Also, you can use yousei’s editor to view exact trigger locations." "There are at least three in the Overworld that exist but are completely unused" "Two on the tower of babil" "And the back half of mist (town)" "Also in the underworld, there are several trigger points for the tanks to attack the tower, easily repurposed"

Per b0ardface’s info above, this means that the trigger data for the overworld map is: 65 9C 24 10 1E 66 9C 24 10 1E 65 9D 24 10 1E 66 9D 24 10 1E 64 9D 00 10 1E 64 9E 00 10 1E 67 9D 00 10 1E 67 9E 00 10 1E 4C 84 6C 02 1C 54 77 6C 9B 03 60 77 01 43 10 61 77 01 DC 10 7D 68 02 0F 1E 8A 53 6F 1A 1D 8A 4D 73 98 09 86 48 74 90 09 7D 42 76 90 0B 77 3E FF 10 00 76 3A 25 10 1E 77 3A 25 10 1E 76 39 25 10 1E 77 39 25 10 1E 88 38 77 8F 04 98 31 7E 0F 1C A0 31 80 15 1E D6 3A 26 0F 1D D7 3A 26 0F 1D D6 39 26 0F 1D D7 39 26 0F 1D DD 38 FF 2B 00 9A C7 03 10 1F 9B C7 03 10 1F DA C7 84 14 1F 22 52 27 10 1D 23 52 27 10 1D 22 51 27 10 1D 23 51 27 10 1D 23 53 05 10 1C 23 54 05 10 1C 24 54 05 10 1C 4A 35 8C 85 07 2D EB 28 10 1F 2E EB 28 10 1F 2D EC 28 10 1F 2E EC 28 10 1F 18 E7 C7 8A 04 68 D7 06 10 1F 69 D8 06 10 1F D2 82 04 11 1E DB 88 A0 07 14 21 DB B5 0C 05 22 DB C0 8C 11 E4 2F CF 08 0B D5 D1 D1 08 0B 59 A3 D2 08 0B 22 65 D3 08 0B 56 4F D4 08 0B 29 35 21 08 1E

…​and the trigger data for the underworld map is: 63 52 07 0F 1E 64 52 07 0F 1E 63 51 07 0F 1E 64 51 07 0F 1E 5B 53 0F 03 0E 30 0F FF 58 00 31 0F FF 58 00 68 7B 00 06 0B 3E 79 01 11 1B 3F 79 01 11 1B 3F 7A 01 11 1B 0D 0E 45 90 02 2E 6D 44 04 0A 1B 56 36 91 0A 37 14 FF 36 00 36 11 FF 36 00 33 10 FF 36 00

…​and the trigger data for the lunar map is: 3D 17 5A 88 07 1C 19 60 10 1C 12 14 63 0C 1E 12 0E 63 93 05 29 18 64 95 06 28 1C 64 09 19 21 27 65 0A 10

Also, Yousei’s notes (for headered v1.0) state: D0060-D0065 World Trigger Pointers D0066-D01FF World Trigger Data (*2)

So subtracting 0x200 for the header, these would be: CFE60-CFE65 World Trigger Pointers CFE66-CFFFF World Trigger Data (*2)

The data (above) is in five-byte pieces.

Distilling the data I got from b0ardface and Aexoden above, and adding what I figured out with a hex editor, Yousei’s editor, and Pinkpuff’s ff4kster: The data for world map triggers is at CFE60-CFFFF. The first six bytes at CFE60 contain the relative offsets (from CFE66) for Overworld, Underworld, and Lunar world maps: 00 00 22 01 77 01 The Overworld map trigger data starts at CFE66, so its relative offset is 0. The Underworld map trigger data starts at CFF88, so its relative offset is 0x0122. The Lunar map trigger data starts at CFFDD, so its relative offset is 0x0177. (these offsets are relative to the beginning of this trigger data, at 0xCFE66) Each trigger is five bytes in size. For example, here’s the one for Cave Magnes: 4A 35 8C 85 07 According to Yousei’s editor, it’s at x74, y53. In hex, that’s 4A, 35. ff4kster says Cave Magnes 1F is grid index 140. In hex, that’s 8C. We’ll assume the grid index matches the map index, which isn’t always true apparently. b0ardface said: "Second last byte contains both X coordinate (lower 6 bits) and facing direction upon arrival (top 2 bits)" …​and the tile you arrive at in Cave Magnes 1F (looking at it with ff4kster) is 5,7. Assuming the last byte is the Y position, this means that 0x80 is the facing direction value. Aexoden said: "Yes, so shift the bits right 6 times" "128 / 2 ^ 6 = 2" "Or just think of the top two bits being "10" "So the direction possibilities are going to be 0x00, 0x40, 0x80, 0xC0" "up, right, down, left" In summary, Cave Magnes overworld map trigger is at 74, 35; it teleports you to map 140 (Cave Magnes 1F); and in that map, it places you at 5,7, facing down.
