Unknown 1 0x54 Byte N/A Unknown. The lowest 2 bits are used to determine what Palette data to use.
Values:
  • 0x00 - Use Palette Data Pointer from this structure. If the first byte at this data is 0x10, the Palette Data is compressed with LZ77, otherwise it's uncompressed.
  • 0x01 - Load the half-word at (0x08427A04 + <Palette Index>) and add it 0x08427A04. The data at this location is LZSS compressed.
  • Else - Load the half-word at (0x0842CC80 + <Palette Index>) and add it 0x0842CC80. The data at this location is LZSS compressed.
Unknown 1 0x55 Byte N/A Unknown. Appears to mostly be a copy of the previous byte + 0x10. - Palette Index 1 0x56 Byte N/A This is the index to be used if the Palette Data bits indicate it is required. (From byte 0x54)
Buffer 1 0x57 Byte 0x00 Never used.

All pointer diffs in this structure are against 0x08569104.

struct FFTA_map_tile

struct FFTA_map_tile {
    uint8 height;
    int8 cannot_walk_on;
};
  • height: The height of the tile. There is no offset from what is displayed. Setting to higher than 99 (0x63) causes graphical glitches, but no crashing. Setting to 0 makes the tile invalid, such that it can't be selected. This value is unsigned.
  • cannot_walk_on: 0 if the tile can be walked on, 1 otherwise. Other values seem to have the same effect as a 1.

Data layout

In RAM

Each block of map data starts at the top corner, and goes toward the right corner. The end of a row seems to be padded such that the last couple of bytes, until 0xXF, are zero. Unknown what happens if modified.

0x02007CB0(block of FFTA_map_tile): Beginning of map data in RAM

...

0x02007F14(void*): Pointer to 0x02007CB0. If changed, map data changes to correspond to the new pointer.

...

0x02007F1D(u?int8): NW-SE dimension of the map.

0x02007F1E(u?int8): Unknown. Set to 0x0C.

0x02007F1F(u?int8): NE-SW dimension of the map.

In ROM

0x08019E7C(4 bytes): 0x02007CB0 - Address to start reading map height data from in scenes

0x0801F0DC(4 bytes): 0x02007CB0 - Address to write map height data to

0x08569104 - 0x0856915B: Map data pointers for map 0

0x08569104(Pointer): Pointer to map tile graphics data in map 0

0x08569108(Pointer): Pointer to map tile arrangement data in map 0

0x0856910C(Pointer): Pointer to unknown data in map 0

0x08569110(Pointer): Pointer to palette data in map 0

0x08569114(Pointer): Pointer to map height data in map 0

Default locations of map data

  • There are 163 maps, indexed from 0x00 to 0xA2. Most maps have a night version (palette shift), too.
