If Squall is in region =4 and walks on ground with ID 0x1B, then get encounters from section4 that starts at 0x24*8 == Section 2: Regions ===288
That way the engine can play encounter based on place you are, because if you're walking on Balamb beach, then engine should play encounter with beach, not snow plains. That's why if you change the for one map portion you can totally erase encounters in this region, because in example region 4 that may be Centra regions does not contain any BalambPlains, so there is no entry in section1 and therefore the engine finds the region encounters, but doesn't find the encounter entries for BalambPlainsGround in Centra ruins (this is totally an example).
=== Section 2: World map Regions ===
Nothing much to write here.
32x24 world map. Just open it via hexEditor.
It's just bitmap (you can even convert bytes to image and mini worldmap will show)
Every single byte is regionID used for example in section1 for encounters.
=== Section 3: World Map Encounters Flags ===
One byte per encounter group in section 4. Always 0 on railways/roads, always 12 on forests, 128 on Island closest to Hell/Heaven, 3 in Galbadia Desert (day and night) and 2 for everything else.

It's as simple as that:
Squall makes step on worldmap, game gets Squall position and tests it with section2 containing region, then loops through section1 and tests groundID and regionID to find ESI multiplier, if random number generates battle, then game gets to section4 using ESI determined earlier with Squall step on world map and plays randomly one of the eight encounters (because one ESI/encounterEntry is 16 bytes, where first four words are the most common, other 2 medium and last 2 rarest)
=== Section 5: UNUSED Encounter Flags (after Lunar Cry) ===
Unused in-game
One byte (always 8 here) per encounter group in section 6. Analog to section 3, but for Lunar Cry encounters.
=== Section 6: World Map Encounters (after Lunar Cry) ===
Same format as Section 4, but only with Lunar Cry encounters.
You can use the section 1 to obtain ground, this way: search in section 1 for region == 10 (Esthar), and substract 80 from the esi value, you will obtain the correct esi for the section 6.
=== Section 7-8: roads, train track, bridge ===
Related with Section 39. Maybe scripts in section 8. (like sections 10, 12 and 32)

There is always one 0x04 opcode inside.For now most is unknown, I only understood that 0x2B opcode refer to scene ID in its parameter (you can find UFO, Koyo-K and Lac Obel battles in Section 32). === Section 9: UNKNOWN=== === Section 10-11: UNKNOWN (Related to Squall model) === Maybe scripts in section 10.

The last bit tells which row of the two we are on, first or second. The range of top row is from 0x00 - 0x7F and second row's 0x80 - 0xFF. Y is incremented whenever X goes over 0xFF. === Section 36-37: UNKNOWN=== Maybe scripts in section 37. (like sections 8, 10 and 12)
