Revision as of 01:31, 26 August 2010 by my_wiki>NFITC1 (Starting the page. I plan to continue it later.)
(This is a temporary page. It will be linked to from the Materia Data page when I'm done with it)
Materia is separated into five categories of functions in the game: "Command", "Magic", "Summon", "Independent", and "Support". Graphically they are yellow, green, red, blue, and purple respectively. The materia type is determined by a single byte value that is separated into two parts. The upper nybble will be considered the sub-type and the lower nybble is the base type. For base types the values will yield the following results:
Base Materia Type X0 Independent X1 Independent X2 Command X3 Command X4 Independent X5 Support X6 Command X7 Command X8 Command X9 Magic XA Magic XB Summon XC Summon XD Independent* XE Independent** XF Independent**
- - There are no XD type materias in the game, but there is a function to handle them though it will not be called.
- - There are no XE or XF type materias in the game, but they will be graphically represented as Independent and will have no effect.
Each of these Base Types have a set of sub-types that provide different functions:
00 blah 01 No Effect 02 blah 03 blah 04 Not used
Other values invalid for base type X0
