This page will be for Battle memory structures. This is consistent with the memory structure of the PC version. PSX may or may not reflect these structures.

Contents

Command Defaults

Each command type has default execution values that can, in some cases, be overridden. These come from a hard-coded structure in the executable.

Offset Default
0h Animation
1h Damage Calculation
2h Command Properties

Queued Actions

When a command is selected either by a player character or an enemy the action is inserted into a priority queue. Up to 64 actions can be queued. On each update loop, the main Queue function will pop off the next action with the lowest priority and execute it in FIFO order within priority bands.

Queue entries have the following structure in memory:

Offset Value
0 Action Priority (limits/counters 0, player chosen spells 6)
1 Queue position within priority band
2 attacker actor ID
3 action command index (e.g CMD_MAGIC = 0x02)
4 action attack index (e.g Bolt = 0x21). (This index is absolute, not command relative)
6 Action target mask

AI Structure

There is a single block of memory that holds AI information on the current running script. Each Actor "owns" this while their scripts are executing.

Offset Function
0h Actor Index
4h Script Position
8h Remaining Stack Space (initially 200h)
0Ch Current AI OpCode
10h OpCode Lower Nybble
14h OpCode Upper Nybble
18h First Group Type
1Ch Second Group Type
20h OpCode Lower Nybble (related to group 1?)
24h OpCode Lower Nybble (related to group 2?)
28h Mask of non-null values in Group 1
2Ah Mask of non-null values in Group 2
2Ch - 50h Group 1 of variables
54h - 78h Group 2 of variables
7Ch - 27Ch Stack of values
