Functions

Apply VRAM/OAM

  • SafeUpdateSprites: Set BG map mode to 0 (disabled) and disable OAM update + UpdateSprites + enable OAM update + DelayFrame + restore original state of BG map mode and OAM update
  • UpdateSprites: Compute state of overworld sprites to wShadowOAM. Disable OAM update while editing wShadowOAM, and restore its original state when finished
  • ApplyPals: Copy wBGPals1 into wBGPals2 and wOBPals1 into wOBPals2. Does not request pal update during vblank by itself
  • ApplyAttrmap: Set BG map mode to 2 (pals) and delay 4 frames, and finally restore original state BG map mode. If LCD disabled instead copy all pals at once immediately
  • ApplyTilemap: Set BG map mode to 1 (tiles) and delay 4 frames. If wSpriteUpdatesEnabled is non-0, instead call CopyTilemapAtOnce to do it all in one frame. This delays the next vblank to LY ~$7f

Load font

  • LoadFont_NoOAMUpdate: LoadFrame + Hide Window + LoadStandardFont with OAM update disabled
  • LoadOverworldFont_NoOAMUpdate: LoadOverworldFontAndFrame + hide Window with OAM update disabled

Textboxes

  • Textbox1bpp: TextboxBorder + TextboxAttributes1bpp
  • Textbox2bpp: _OverworldTextbox + TextboxAttributes2bpp
  • SpeechTextbox1bpp: Textbox1bpp with speech location and dimensions
  • SpeechTextbox2bpp: Textbox2bpp with speech location and dimensions
  • ClearTextbox: Clear the inside of a speech textbox (fill with " ")
  • PrintTextboxText: Print text in speech textbox coordinates with letter delay
  • PrintText1bpp, FarPrintText1bpp: SpeechTextbox1bpp + UpdateSprites + ApplyTilemap + ClearTextbox + PrintTextboxText
  • PrintText2bpp: SpeechTextbox2bpp + UpdateSprites + ApplyTilemap + ClearTextbox + PrintTextboxText
  • MapTextbox: ClearTextbox + redraw tile behind cursor + SafeUpdateSprites + disable OAM update + ApplyTilemap + PrintTextboxText + enable OAM update
  • MenuBox: Calls Textbox1bpp or Textbox2bpp, depending on the value of wText2bpp, with menu location and dimensions.

Overworld map scrolling

  • LoadScreenTilemap: From the metatile-based 24x20 map in wSurroundingTiles, load the corresponding 20x18 tiles to wTilemap. Later, BackupBGMap* from ScrollMap* copies new row/column from wTilemap to wBGMapBuffer. _ScrollBGMapPalettes populates wBGMapPalBuffer based on the tiles at wBGMapBuffer. These are read during vblank by UpdateBGMapBuffer.
  • LoadScreenAttrmapPals: Load wAttrmap palette numbers based on the tileset palettes of the current map. Called only by LoadScreenTilemapAndAttrmapPals.
  • LoadScreenTilemapAndAttrmapPals: LoadScreenTilemap + LoadScreenAttrmapPals. Often used to reload screen after closing a text box.

Overworld map anchoring

  • ReanchorBGMap_NoOAMUpdate: LoadScreenTilemapAndAttrmapPals + HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OpenAndCloseMenu, then fill BG map with all black while Window is displayed, finally anchor map and objects. Shall by followed by CopyTilemapAtOnce or by a HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_* to redraw the screen.
  • OpenText1bpp, OpenText2bpp: ClearMenuAndWindowData + ReanchorBGMap_NoOAMUpdate + SpeechTextbox1bpp + HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OpenAndCloseMenu + hide Window
    • OpenText1bpp: Loads 1bpp font (LoadFont_NoOAMUpdate)
    • OpenText2bpp: Doesn't load 2bpp font
  • RefreshScreen: Same as OpenText functions but doesn't call any SpeechTextbox

VRAM transfer

  • Request1bpp, Request2bpp: Copy 1bpp or 2bpp tiles at a rate of TILES_PER_CYCLE (8) per frame during vblank. Wait until complete
  • Copy1bpp, Copy2bpp: Copy 1bpp or 2bpp tiles immediately
  • Get1bpp, Get2bpp: Call Copy1bpp or Copy2bpp if LCD disabled. Request1bpp or Request2bpp otherwise
  • HDMATransfer1bpp: Copy 1bpp tiles via HDMA. Maximum 16 tiles per frame
  • HDMATransfer2bpp: Copy 2bpp tiles via HDMA. No hardcoded limit. Timing considers 1 tile per hblank
  • Get1bppViaHDMA, Get2bppViaHDMA: Call Copy1bpp or Copy2bpp if LCD disabled. HDMATransfer1bpp or HDMATransfer2bpp otherwise
  • HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OpenAndCloseMenu, HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OverworldEffect: Similar, but with slightly different scanline timing. So they're essentially like RefreshScreen minus the anchoring part.

HUD

  • EnableWindowHUD: Configure LCD interrupt in LYC=LY mode with corresponding LYC.
  • DisableWindowHUD: Configure LCD interrupt in hblank mode
  • LoadHUD: Load the HUD at wWhichHUD to the top of wTilemap and wAttrmap
  • LoadWindowHUD: Like LoadHUD, but for HUDs that require a Window overlay. Only does anything if hWindowHUDLY is non-0
  • ConstructOverworldHUDTilemap: Draw the overworld HUD's tilemap into wOverworldHUDTiles
  • TransferOverworldHUDToBGMap: Transfer overworld HUD to vBGMap1/vBGMap3 during v/hblank(s). Tilemap is read from wOverworldHUDTiles, attrmap is all PAL_BG_TEXT | PRIORITY.
  • RefreshOverworldHUD: ConstructOverworldHUDTilemap + TransferOverworldHUDToBGMap

Scripts

  • refreshscreen: RefreshScreen
  • reloadmappart: LoadScreenTilemapAndAttrmapPals + GetMovementPermissions + HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OverworldEffect + UpdateSprites. Similar to refreshscreen, but does not reanchor. On the other hand, it refreshes movement permissions. Often used after a block change or field move, which can affect collisions.

Tile permission checks below consist on reading the permissions of the tile that the player is walking into: wTilePermissions (applies only to COLL_WALLs) and wWalkingTile (LAND_TILE, WATER_TILE, or WALL_TILE for the tile in the walking direction; WALL_TILE permission is not the same as a COLL_WALL collision).

DoPlayerEvent (wScriptRunning == TRUE and wScriptRunning != PLAYEREVENT_MAPSCRIPT): if there is a non-PLAYEREVENT_MAPSCRIPT script requested during this loop iteration, DoPlayerEvent pushes it to make it be executed by ScriptEvents.

HandleMapObjects:

HandleNPCStep Includes player object! At the beginning of each object, clears wPlayerStepVectorX, wPlayerStepVectorY, and wPlayerStepFlags, and sets wPlayerStepDirection to STANDING. HandleObjectStep is called for each visible object. This calls HandleStepType, which processes StepTypesJumptable by STEP_TYPE_. These functions manipulate wPlayerStepFlags among other things.

End of overworld loop. The remainder are intermediate functions

Every script executed by ScriptEvents finishes with the some form of the end command. It returns (by updating wScriptPos and wScriptBank) to a parent script if any, and otherwise:
wScriptRunning <= FALSE
wScriptMode <= SCRIPT_OFF
wScriptFlags[SCRIPT_RUNNING] = FALSE
The endall command is like end, but also finishes parent scripts regardless.

$$wMovementAnimation <= <step (type, direction)>
$$wPlayerTurningDirection <= <direction> | 1 << 7
$~~~~$then always returns PLAYERMOVEMENT_FINISH but often is overwritten by caller

Board behavior

RAM addresses

  • hCurBoardEvent: holds a BOARDEVENT_ value.

  • wTurnData ~ wTurnDataEnd: not preserved on save, and cleared at the beginning of BoardMenuScript (i.e. on turn begin). It's part of wMapStatus ~ wMapStatusEnd, so it's also cleared by StartMap.

    • wDieRoll
    • wSpacesLeft

  • Addresses within wCurMapData ~ wCurMapDataEnd: preserved on save.

    • wCurTurn
    • wCurSpace
    • wCurSpaceData:
      • wCurSpaceXCoord
      • wCurSpaceYCoord
      • wCurSpaceEffect
      • wCurSpaceNextSpace.

  • wTempSpaceData: shares memory region with string buffers from wStringBuffer3 onwards. Temporary scope. Same structure as wCurSpaceData

Workflow

  1. OverworldLoop is called from GameMenu_WorldMap with either hMapEntryMethod = MAPSETUP_ENTERLEVEL or hMapEntryMethod = MAPSETUP_CONTINUE.
  2. StartMap resets wCurTurn and wCurSpace if MAPSETUP_ENTERLEVEL. StartMap sets hCurBoardEvent to BOARDEVENT_DISPLAY_MENU. wScriptFlags2 is cleared. wMapStatus is set to MAPSTATUS_HANDLE causing HandleMap to be called.
  3. MapEvents (from HandleMap) calls PlayerEvents. CheckBoardEvent queues BoardMenuScript which is executed by ScriptEvents.
  4. BoardMenuScript.Upkeep saves the game, clears wTurnData[], increases wCurTurn, and loads current space to wCurSpaceData[].
    • If player exits, the exitoverworld script sets wMapStatus to MAPSTATUS_DONE. This causes OverworldLoop to return back to the game menu. Exit this workflow.
  5. Player rolls die and the animation plays. After the animation, wDisplaySecondarySprites.SECONDARYSPRITES_SPACES_LEFT_F is set and hCurBoardEvent is set to BOARDEVENT_HANDLE_BOARD. At the end of this HandleMap iteration, CheckPlayerState sets wMapEventStatus to MAPEVENTS_ON (wScriptFlags2 is not touched so it remains cleared).
  6. In the next HandleMap iteration, CheckBoardEvent from PlayerEvents jumps to .board and then to .no_space_effect due to wScriptFlags2[4] not being set.
  7. Execution continues in PlayerEvents; OWPlayerInput is eventually called, and thus DoPlayerMovement. Here, StepTowardsNextSpace computes based on wCurSpaceNextSpace what direction key to write to wCurInput, causing the player to begin a movement in that direction.
  8. The player may need to turn to a different direction through the ChangeDirectionScript (when DoPlayerMovement returns with PLAYERMOVEMENT_TURN). Otherwise or after that, CheckPlayerState sets wMapEventStatus to MAPEVENTS_OFF,
  9. When the step finishes (i.e. PLAYERSTEP_STOP_F becomes set) in some HandleMap iteration, CheckPlayerState sets wScriptFlags2 to $ff and wMapEventStatus to MAPEVENTS_ON.
  10. In the next HandleMap iteration, CheckBoardEvent.board is called with wScriptFlags2[4] set.
    • If player is not above a tile (wPlayerTile) with a space collision: wScriptFlags2[4] is reset. Go back to 7).
    • If player is above a tile, the corresponding space script is queued to be executed by ScriptEvents in the current HandleMap iteration. wScriptFlags2[4] is reset. Continue to 11).
  11. The space script loads the value of wCurSpaceNextSpace into wCurSpace, loads the new space data to wCurSpaceData[], and decreases wSpacesLeft.
    • If wSpacesLeft is non-0, go back to 6).
  12. hCurBoardEvent is set to BOARDEVENT_END_TURN. CheckBoardEvent does nothing in this state. In the first subsequent HandleMap iteration where no other kind of event triggers causing PlayerEvents to return early, hCurBoardEvent is set to BOARDEVENT_DISPLAY_MENU.
  13. Go back to 3)
