Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team/Scripting

Much of the game uses it's own specific scripts to move along the plot and have characters interact.

Every script command is 16 byte (0x10) long. The first two bytes are the command identifier, and the rest are the arguments. The last four bytes in a statement are usually reserved for a pointer if needed.

Command identifier, argument, and pointer are in little-endian form.

Below are described the known script commands:

[01 00] Warp To Location

The 01 Command fades out the current screen, and warps the player to a new location.

Format: 01 00 XX XX YY YY 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
