Hacking : Object Data Structure

The data for the objects is stored according to its respective tower / dungeon, and is found at immediately following the map data, in a 1024 ($400) byte block. In the PC version, this is contained with the .ob files for each tower. There is an additional 2 bytes of data at the beginning to define the amount of object data used in the block.

These 1026 byte blocks, are found at the following locations;

[$0FC7C] The Keep
[$1107E] The Serpent Tower
[$12480] The Moon Tower
[$13882] The Dragon Tower
[$14C84] The Chaos Tower
[$16086] Zendik's Tower


The data for the objects is stored in such a way that there is no fixed length for each entry within the data table. This is to allow for only one entry when items are placed on top of one another in the same location.

The first two bytes of data represents the amount of data used for item-placements listed within the data table, and is then followed by the data itself.

In the case of the Keep [$FBBC] (PC: mod0.ob) this is a value of 03 3F.


This is then followed by a minimum of 5 bytes, with an additional 2 bytes added for each extra item in this location.


This can be represented as the following;

       AB CD EF GH IJ  ...  KL MN ... etc



A = The position of the items in the location (4 positions for a standard floor, and 2 positions for a shelf)

      This has one of four options;

00 - Position 1 - North West Space, North Facing Bottom Shelf,  West Facing Top Shelf
04 - Position 2 - North East Space, East Facing Bottom Shelf,  North Facing Top Shelf
08 - Position 3 - South West Space, West Facing Bottom Shelf,  South Facing Top Shelf
12 - Position 4 - South East Space, South Facing Bottom Shelf,  East Facing Top Shelf


BCD = The index number for the location.

       This is not a standard x,y,z coordinate reference, but a number which represents the location according to where it is within the entire map data of the tower / dungeon. This should be taken as an index number, as if the marker is found by "counting through" the map locations. This means that a value of 0 00 would represent the first floor location at coordinate 0,0 on the 0 (bottom) floor of a tower. Moving along to 0,1 would be represented by the index number 0 01 and so on.

EF = The number of items in the given location, minus 1.

       Where there is only one item stored in the location, this has a value of 00. Where there are two items, a value of 01 and so on. This is an important piece of information as with no "termination" byte, it is this which is used to tell us how many bytes of data will need to be read for the object data for this location.

GH - This is the object code for the first item in the location. This is a representation of the item, based on the object lookup table, which will need to be referenced in order to determine which items are in the location.

IJ - This is the number of item GH to be "stacked" at this point. Whilst this is commonly used for Coinage and Common Keys, which are usually place in multiple numbers, this can also be used to stack multiple numbers of any item, to a maximum number of 255.

KL - This is identical to GH, in those situations where EF is greater than zero. It gives the object code for the next item stored at a given location.

LM - Again, this is identical to IJ, in those situations where EF is greater than zero, and gives the number of the item represented bu KL to be stored at the location.



In order to aid the understanding of the object data structure, here is an example piece of code, from the first item stored for the Keep.

        C8 0E 00 07 01

This data would represent:
     1 item on the location (00 on EF.)
     1 (01 on IJ)  x Apple (07 on GH)  at index postion 8 0E (8 OE on B CD), in the C position (C on A.)


The next set of data in the list is:

         88 0E 00 07 01

This data would represent;
    1 item on the location.
    1 x Apple  at index position 8 0E, in the 8 position of the location.


And skipping through to the fourth piece of data we see the following;

         88 8E 02 50 01 30 01 02 05

Which represents;
    3 items on the location
    1 x Bronze Key , 1 x Dagger, 5 x Common Keys  at index position 8 8E in the 8 position of the location.

Hacking : Monster Data Structure


In the game binary, information about the monsters is stored in batch by tower, in a 'packed' form.

This is then unpacked to a larger memory space on entering each Tower/Game Start.

Monsters that have not been killed are then returned to the 'packed' form on exiting the tower. This has the effect of reseting some monster statistics (such as monster hit points)

There are 6 digits in BW which mark the number of monsters per tower at [$171F4]


As raw data these can be found as:

                00 48 00 4D 00 53 00 43 00 4F 00 4D


This is followed by 300 byte blocks, each containing the detailed information about the monsters, at the following locations;

                [$17200] The Keep
                [$17500] The Serpent Tower
                [$17800] The Moon Tower
                [$17B00] The Dragon Tower
                [$17E00] The Chaos Tower
                [$18100] Zendik's Tower


At these locations, you find the monster data stored in 6 byte blocks.

As an example. the following shows you the data for the first 8 monsters in The Keep.

                04 0B 0F 00 15 FF
                04 16 1A 00 16 FF
                05 02 00 04 15 FF
                04 0F 0F 00 2F FF
                14 03 09 00 11 FF
                04 06 00 01 14 FF
                04 06 01 00 14 FF
                04 06 03 01 14 FF


By breaking this down by byte we can begin to understand what this data represents;

                AB CD EF GH IJ KL


A = Type of Monster
   
     This can be one of three values;
     0 - Normal Fighting Monster
     1 - Spell-casting Monster
     3 - Arc Bolt Machine

B - The number of the tower floor on which the monster starts.

CD - The X-coordinate postiioning of the tower floor on which the monster starts.

However, if between two and four monsters are to start in the same location (teamed) this number is left void and given a value of FF on the second to fourth team-members.

EF - The Y-coordinate positioning of the tower floor on which the monster starts.

GH - The level of the monster. This determines the monsters strength, speed, available spells, and for non-humanoid monsters also the colour of the monster.

In the Extended Levels Vol.1 this also acts as a seed number to help generate the monster's name

IJ - This is the form / look of the monster. This number represents those given in the monster lookup table.

KL - This is the rather unusual "team-data" number. In the majority of cases this is left blank with the value of FF.
However, when two monsters are to begin the game "teamed" with the same starting postion, this value simple increases from 00 and beyond, for every teamed-monster.

For example, two monsters both placed at X04 Y06 would have the team-data values of 00 and 01 respectively, and this would continue with the next two teamed monsters in the list having the values of 02 and 03.



This picture shows the data represented in the beta version of the Amiga Bloodwych Editor:

-   Byte 0C = Spells Page 1 (one bit per spell)
-   Byte 0D = Spells Page 2
-   Byte 0E = Spells Page 3
-   Byte 0F = Spells Page 4
-   Byte 10 = Food Level (max C7)
-   Byte 11 = Current Worn Spell (08 = Amour etc..)
-   Byte 12 = Current Worn Hand Amour
-   Byte 13 = Related to spell (Unsure how)
-   Byte 14 = Related to spell cost (Unsure how)
-   Byte 15 = Spell Cool Down Timer
-   Byte 16 = X position
-   Byte 17 = Y Position
-   Byte 18 = bits 4-5 (left) Floor position  |  bits 0-1 (right) direction faced
-   Byte 19 = Character speed
-   Byte 1A = Floor
-   Byte 1B = Attack cool down (counts down from 07 to 00, also used for attack sequence)
-   Byte 1C = Levelling Value (change to FF to level, 11 = level 1, 24 = level 2)
-   Byte 1D = XP to next level (Starts at 255 and then as you hit monsters this is reduced down to 00 and Byte 1C is changed to FF)
-   Byte 1E = Amount of spells to buy from the fairy
-   Byte 1F = ?

Hacking : Keyboard Controls


It is possible to modify some of the Keyboard functions of Bloodwych fairly easily.


Starting with the very basics, the following is the code for the player 1 and player 2 keyboard controls for movement;

5F 46 4E 4F 4D 4C      12 10 22 20 21 11

This can be found in BW at ($0656) [$02EC] - or can be searched for manually.


These hex numbers represent the keycodes for :

and can be substituted for alternative keycodes if wanted, in order to change the in-game keys.



It is also possible to change the operation of the key-controls for the main menu, but this is discussed seperately in the Menu Layout section of this resource.

For reference, the Amiga keycodes are laid out as such;

Hacking : Keyboard Reading Routines

The keyboard routine starts at $5D6
The game reads the keyboard and stores the result at memory location $5D1 where it is read in later.

- it loads $bfe001 into reg a0
- it then does a move.b ($c00,a0),d0
- which basically does move.b $c00+$bfe001,d0
- This is equivalent to move.b $bfec01,d0
- which moves the raw keycode into d0

Code: [Select]
lea  $656,a0               ; Copy address into a0
moveq  #b,d1               ; For loop, checking 12 things
cmp.b  (a0)+,d0            ; check to see if the contents of mem location a0 are same as d0
                           ; and increment the address at a0 by 1 byte (first time a0 would change to $657)
beq  $063a                 ; If they match lets branch
dbf  d1,$630               ; decrease d1 by 1 and loop
rts                        ; return from routine
