Overview

This table contains indices into the map graphics and palette tables. There's one entry for each map; all three map layers in each map will use the same set of tilesets and palettes. The table has a 12-byte dummy header that can be ignored (but should be left untouched).

Field listing

• 00-17 (18) = [ A ] Tilesets
• 18-19 (02) = [ B ] Palette

Tilesets

Each map may have up to 12 tilesets. They don't all have to be used. Each tileset is a signed 16-bit value. Use -1 (0xFFFF) to indicate a null tileset. Each value is an index into the map graphics table.

Palette

The palette is a 16-bit index into the map palette table.
