WMSETxx.obj (where xx may refer to gr,us,it,fr,sp) is a multi-data world map file containing many world map core functions and 3D objects. This file contains almost everything: sounds, scripts, dialogs, texts, textures, models- all contained in one file. Main differences between en/it/gr/sp/fr are localized dialogs, so next sections have different offsets. Offsets before this are all the same. [[FF8/WorldMap_wmset|Wmset.obj]] is probably never used in-game and is leftover. Dialogs in lang-en/wmset.obj are in english, but the file is different from wmsetus.obj.

It is used later to determine the encounter. When the character makes a step on worldmap, the game loops through whole section1 data and tests: if the character is walking on groundID and regionID, if yes, then ESI is our multiplier to section4 containing encounters. Example entry: 00 06 00 00: If Squall is in region = 0 and walks on ground with ID 6 (as far as I remember it's Balamb Plains or forest) then get encounters from section4 that start at 0*8; Other example: 04 1B 24 00: If Squall is in region = 4 and walks on ground with ID 0x1B, then get encounters from section4 that starts at 0x24*8 = 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. === Section 4: World Map Encounters === {| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" align="center" style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;"! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Offset! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Length! style=Texture offsets "background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Description|-| section1.ESI * 16| 16 bytes| 2 * 8 bytes of encounters from scene.out|} 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 models by language codethe section 6. === Section 7-8: roads, train track, bridge === Related with Section 39. Maybe scripts in section 8. (like sections 10, 12 and 32) Script format (ScriptsCount must be guessed): {| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" align="center" style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;"! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Offset! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Length! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Description|-| 0| 4 * ScriptsCount + 4| List of script positions, not always sorted (ended with 0x00000000)|-| 4 * ScriptsCount + 4| Varies + 4| Scripts data (ended with 0x00000000)|} In script data you have 4-bytes opcodes, the first byte is the identifier, and the last two bytes are the parameter (the second byte is always 0xFF).Scripts always start with 0x01 opcode, and finish with 0x16 opcode. 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. (like sections 8, 12 and 32) === Section 12-13: UNKNOWN === Maybe scripts in section 12. (like sections 8, 10 and 32) === Section 14: Side quests texts/tialogs === This section provides dialogs on world map used in side quests. This section starts with header pointing to '''relative''' offsets to dialog/text portions.  Dumped data from wmsetus wmsetsp wmsetit wmsetgr wmsetfr.obj: …+-1 413048 413312 412796 412848 411748Airstation5 … 7 Get off…YesNo5 + 7 Get off…YesNo5 - 7 Get off…YesNo”Bound for 5 4 7“Pay 4111 Gil to rideDon't ride” Bound for 5 3 7“Pay 4111 Gil to rideDon't ride”Bound for 5 ! 7“Pay 4111 Gil to rideDon't ride7 ”You don't have enough money“ Selphie ”C'mon?

THIS section is responsible for 1/2 world map textures (Those are really used in-game). There is 36 textures inside as of original release. Also, sea, beach and special effects texture is present.  {| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" align="center" style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;"! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Offset! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Length! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Description|-| 0| 4 bytes| Relative offset to texture|-| Various (144 originally)| 4 bytes| '00 00 00 00' - offset list end|-| Offset pointed by header| Various| .TIM texture (10 00 00 00 08)|} === Section 39: Textures - roads, train track, bridge === This section starts with header pointing to '''relative''' offsets to .TIM textures.
