I'm wrong about the bytes being X and Y positions, that's what they appear to be at first but they're both used in positioning. $00 is the upper left corner, $02 is one tile to the right, $04 is two tiles, etc. Once the end of the screen is reached it drops to the next line and continues. Once $FE is reached the second byte becomes $01 and the process repeats. Pretty simple:
$0000-$3E00: First line $4000-$7E00: Second line
And so on.
Edit: Here's an example of what I mean, pay attention to the positioning of the "RHand" text:
(http://dragonsbrethren.elazulspad.net/images/ff4/rhand0000.png) The is at $0000. As you can see it's in the top left corner.
(http://dragonsbrethren.elazulspad.net/images/ff4/rhand4200.png) Here it is at $4200. It's on the second line and indented one tile.
(http://dragonsbrethren.elazulspad.net/images/ff4/rhandfe00.png) And here's what it looks like at $FE00. The game automatically starts printing any spilled over text on the next line.
(http://dragonsbrethren.elazulspad.net/images/ff4/rhand0001.png) Lastly, $0001. See how I got confused into thinking the second byte controlled the Y offset?

Post by: Dragonsbrethren on December 06, 2007, 07:16:38 PM
Okay, I've got pretty much all the menus done, the only thing I have left is the treasure menu. Do you have a GG code so the enemies always drop treasure? If not I'll just hack my ROM later.

So in byte form what would it equate to?

Ver.A: 6D32-D7DE Ver.B: 6D3E-DD0E Always get a treasure from each enemy defeated (up to 8) after battle, even from enemies that don't normally drop anything, like bosses. (those that don't normally drop items will just drop a Cure1 potion. :-/)
Ver.A: DD3E-DFDE Ver.B: DD3D-040E Always get a treasure from each enemy defeated (up to 8) after battle, except from monsters (like bosses) that don't have any. The only reason to use this code over the previous one is if you don't want to get useless Cure1 potions from bosses. =) There may be subtle differences in the rarity of items enemies drop between these codes, but this hasn't been tested.

Thanks, I'll get the treasure screen documented later on tonight. It's all of three windows so I probably could've guessed but I prefer to make sure I'm right.
Title: Re: FF2us Window Data
Post by: JCE3000GT on December 07, 2007, 10:59:45 PM
Problem already. Since there is no pointer table for text like say the main menu--then how can one increase the size of the entries if the data block is at a fixed length with no room?
Example: I want to change Custom to Configuration. Etc.
Title: Re: FF2us Window Data
Post by: Dragonsbrethren on December 07, 2007, 11:15:32 PM
There are pointers somewhere, I just haven't found them yet. They point to the entire menu, rather than separate strings.
Edit: This was semi-incorrect. Each window has its own pointer, a number of text strings share a pointer but others have their own.
Title: Re: FF2us Window Data
Post by: Dragonsbrethren on December 08, 2007, 10:00:26 PM
Here's a better example of how to position something on the screen, made for my upcoming document:
To get your positioning byte first find the row you want the element to appear on (Remember, for text the letters will be one row below the one you select, a leftover from the Japanese game) and drop the last two digits from it. Add the value for the column you want your element to start on to that and use it as your first positioning byte. Then you simply need to use the last two digits of the row as your second byte.

I've found some more pointers but don't know what menu they pertain to. Some list the same pointers to the same data that I've posted...odd. o_O
Oh, and get that wiki up so we can start filling it up with the FF2us Hacking doc stuff. :laugh:
*edit* And I seem to be forgetting where the battle menu data is...I found the actual border drawing routine but not the menu data itself.

It's probably in the 01 bank with the rest of the item menu code.

Request for Windows(Main menu , Item, Magic, Equip) selection cursor(hand) addresses. Just the base addresses, I can find the rest later. For: FF2us_
Thanks for window starting addresses, it helps out alot!

Editted: 2008-04-16.12:40pm Here's the dilema: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_.JPG I got the number of every characters (09) to change (0B) in the battle menu, I just can't find the Main Menu stats(I didn't find it in the area where the window sizes were.) Also what i need is the address for spell menu for the spells placement and generate every character.
Editted: 2008-05-18.09:45pm If this helps on some windows data, placement of spell list. Still need the generate every spell/item numbers. (all headed).

Seems to effect icons. 0923D = Item Menu, Selection, effect on Beginning icons. 05 (DB) [34]. 09246 = Item Menu, Selection, Value for Item Length in Item Menu.--08 to 0A (A9) Characters in length to show. true This value only allows letters to show from 8 to 10.

Threads aren't marked as new from the index, and since this was on page 7 I never would've seen your edits if I hadn't been digging around for a few offsets I forgot to note. Feel free to double post as long as the thread isn't on the first page.

:blush: :offtopic: I have time between to make notes, and I can wait.
:sleep: My delima is where do I find the offset for the command to generate each item name. I have the length of name to display and I've changed the length of all the items from 9 to 11. It only shows the length from the original generation. ie = "--/CFireyCla" where as each name is 11 Chr$ long but it's generate where to show a 9. - = space and /C = Claw Icon.
This delima is similar to JCE3000GT's first initial menu place of the ":", but I can't seem to find where the multiplier/generater for the names are. Another hint is from 78000-78009 to 78000-78000B is what I like the game to look at for every item. Same delima existed in the Item/Shop/Battle Won menus and the Event Treasure Get window and Event Item Give menu. I couldn't figure out where in the section it's found. 00000-07FFF(Field Data), 08000-0DFFF(Menu Data), 0E000-0FFFF(MenuOther), or 10000-17FFF(Battle Data). My thoughts were that 00000-0FFFF was to describe lengths and starting points and 10000-17FFFF was to generate every set. so might I have been looking in the wrong locations?
here's my document list in zip: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF4wy_ItemAddresses.zip
project file is: (contains necessary files and document for showing) limit 1 download per hour due to free site issues. http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF4wy_Project.zip
picture is: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_Distorted_Name_List.JPG
as it seems this delima is in opposite contrast to the battle menus, where as I got the every item but the length won't change: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_Items.JPG
Thanks for the notice and help.

project file is: (contains necessary files and document for showing) limit 1 download per hour due to free site issues. http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF4wy_Project.zip
picture is: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_Distorted_Name_List.JPG
as it seems this delima is in opposite contrast to the battle menus, where as I got the every item but the length won't change: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_Distorted_Name_List.JPG

:whoa: I've reloaded the file and the site still does that.
here's the main page: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/DragonFox_Pages0.html
picture of battle menu with old Item menu: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_Items.JPG
scroll down to Hexadecimal & Picture projects and select the second sitting chozo statue in the updated section. <updated> b d <updated>
I welcome all updates done to the txt/tbl and rom files. If you must do some other way, then addresses and codex in txt format accepted as well. please no ips's, unless provided with a good ips patcher program that works well with winxp sp2 with ati radeon graphics (256mb & 128 aperture) and >1.5gb memory. (the win ipx 2.0 version I have turns a 1 mb file into 16mb with corrupted data in the wrong places) Thanks.
editted for the delima: I found that I need the number generater for every player name and class as well.

Some of what you're looking for (Loading the item names and character classes) has already been mentioned in this topic:
You'll need some basic assembly knowledge to make us of that though.

:whoa: Thanks for the reminder, almost forgot I read that.
I copied the asm codes into notepad and looking at it that way helped a lot. I also have been reading that same area over and over for two months.
that's so wierd that Sqr made that type of code just to fill in space instead of using the value holders.
Picture of it works. Thanks to Dragonsbrethren, JCE3000GT, Lenophis!! http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_SoHeresTheNewMenu.JPG
:cycle: Now I can figure out the rest......
editted: :laugh: Uh! Hmmm.... seems I still need assistance on the other parts though. Item/Shop/Battle won section done. now for the Event Give/Get Treasure, and the name/class generate/multiplier.
editted: done the name and class routines, found the name pointer is pointing to different area of rom (don't know exactly what part yet). working on rerouting the pointer.

Cool, nice to see you got it working. :happy:

The hard part is finding and writing about where everything is and what is does first. Then the easy part would be filling in what is needed, of course once the coding is done.
still continuing.....
Since this is a Window Data, Here my version of a Neater looking Window: http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_NeaterWindows.JPG

Got a guide on how to get it working?
And did you do the battle item menu too?

:hmm: The only guide I have is the one I compiled from me exploring the rom itself and from what everyone else had noted with their experiences. Then I checked their notes with what I found and verified most and made note of them in more details. The rest is just that I hold a lot detail and data in my head........(mostly like a cluttered broom closet!). >>The .tbl file linked to is the self made guide for rom mapping of ff2us that I have<<
I didn't get the window borders yet. :omg: I got the value for the Commands, Items, Spells, and Monster Spells to show up at the given generation. This is the wierder part, the Battle menus names and such. The window data seems to overlap somehow, but I figure that out later. As for the Battle Command Windows(Commands, Spells, Item, Item Equip), the data is where the generate # (A9) is before the pointer address (BF) is and seemingly no length value (might be coded differently). Then there's the window for displaying the Command/Spell/Item used. I found that the Generate # (tagged A9) is first, the Pointer (BF), and finally the Length of chr$ shown (C0)

Now to just find those window routines.....
:offtopic: :sad: My only problem is that I'm jumping between sections to0 much, but eventually learn something about the coding. :happy: My code viewing is limited with thingy32 and I can't see what I changed, but I least I know I editted something.

Double Post.....but here's the reference. written for headered ff2us rom.
11E31 = Battle, Main Windows, seems to offset window borders? (69) 40 00 [85] 11E3F = Battle, Main Windows, seems to offset left window borders?

That command length value??'s were a 5 and changing to 7 didn't damage the code functions for battle. Well still didn't find that griping code for changing the viewing length of the Command/Item/Spell Text, only found where the positioning pointers are for where the viewing frame is looking at. Items marked "true" are what definitely changes or effects given area noted. Viewing Frames, Printing Frames, and actual sizes to print are all separate entities in too many places to find at once.
Hey JCE###: as of October 2008 I can now move the columns of spells in battle menu, but can't find the column data for main field menu.
