General Information

Chrono Cross

"Fieldscript" is the name given to the set of commands that loads and controls the rooms and their contents. A fieldscript file has 0x80 bytes of header containing an array used to access the global variables from the local room, then a number of entries, then a pointer table(?). The script bloc starts just after that.

Per yaz0r: "script 0 [for a given entity] is the init script, script 1 is ran[sic] every frame, script 2 is used when interacting with the entity and script 3 is used when collisioning with the entity (mostly used for entity that trigger room change). Also Entity 0 is always the director, and the last is the debug entity present in nearly every room (entity 15 in my exemple). This is all guess work, but it seems to fit." (Note: there are some rooms where the debug entity is //not// actually the last one.)

Typically, a 16-bit parameter indicating an action target can be either an ordinary value (if the high bit is set—AND the parameter with 7FFF to get the actual value) or the contents of a variable (if the high bit is not set). Script offsets such as jump targets or subroutine locations are an exception: they are normal values and do not need to be ~ANDed.

"If it's a variable, the game computes the variable index like this:"
int idx = (value & 0x7FFF) >> 6;
int localVariable = roomLocalTable[idx];
int globalVariableIdx = ((value & 0x7FFF) >> 1) & 0x1F
if(localVariable & (1 << globalVariableIdx)) // signed or not ?
 {
 return (UInt16)variableTables[globalVariableIdx];
 }
 else
 {
 return (Int16)variableTables[globalVariableIdx];
 })


Only some of the variables' purposes are known. All seem to be two bytes long:

Address Name
0x02 ~ROOM_PARAM
0x04 ~MULTI_CHOICE_RESULT
0x06 ~MAP_ID
0x08 ~PREVIOUS_MAP_ID
0x0C ~PARTY_MEMBER_0
0x0E ~PARTY_MEMBER_1
0x10 ~PARTY_MEMBER_2
0x18 ~DIGIT_ENTRY_RESULT
0x2A ~USED_KEY_ITEM
0x32 ~BATTLE_RESULT
0x34 ~DEBUG_MODE
0x44 ~CURRENT_FRAME
0x4C ~SAVE_RESULT
>= 0x400 (room variables)

Single-byte Character Identifiers

Where a script command uses a single byte to identify the target character:

  • Values less than 0x80 refer to the number of an entity in the current script space
  • 0xFB is the current entity
  • 0xFF is the current party leader
  • 0xFE is the second party member
  • 0xFD is the third party member
  • Values between 0x80 and 0xF0 refer to the ~PCs in standard numbered order (0x80 = Serge, 0x81 = Kid, 0x82 = Guile, etc.)

Currently identified commands (Note: a lot of these are cribbed from yaz0r's code, which I //hope// I am decoding properly. Some codes, such as B8, are not mentioned in his decompiler, so I assume that no actual use of them in the game's script has ever been found.)

  • 08 XX YY - Run a script belonging to the specified entity in "UNK" mode, where XX is the entity and YY, that of the script under that entity to be run
  • 09 XX YY - Run a script belonging to the specified entity in blocking mode, where XX is the entity and YY, that of the script under that entity to be run. NOTE: This code currently causes softlocks when ePSXe is overclocked to 240% to enable 60 fps gameplay, with no known workaround.

  • FE 7E - Unknown
  • FE 81 XX - Unknown
  • FE 84 - Set up the rename screen
  • FE 85 - Save the game

[1] Additional stuff about opcode 02: TTUU - First value/variable. VVWW - Second value/variable. YYZZ - Offset for a jump. XX divided into two parts. 0x00 means both parameters will be variables. 0x40 - only the first will be a variable (second - value). 0x80 - only the second will be a variable (first - value). Second part is a condition parameter: 0x00 - '==', 0x01 - '!=', 0x02 - '>', 0x03 - '<', 0x04 - '>=', 0x05 - '<=', 0x06 - '$', 0x07 - '!=', 0x08 - '|', 0x09 - '$', 0x0A - '~'.

[2] Additional stuff about FE 6D: If you look in the decompiled script, let's say

0425.room_023_arni_home_-_serge's_room.script.cpt
0x037E: HEAL_GROUP(249)
0x0382: opFE6D()
0x0384: CURE_ALL_STATUS_AILEMENT(249, 57)

It is always with the Heal Group/Cure Ailment function! It is possible to prevent the opFE6D() if you set it to 0C0C you will not recover star's when you go at the inn/serge's bed

[3] Additional stuff about this command: Changing it to the second or third party character doesn't change anything, but you can remove the command with no issue. To make my test, I always set all the value of a Command to 0C (No-op)

[4] Command D1 is Similar to 0F XX YY.

  • D1 XXYY - Unknown
  • 0F XXYY - Load NPC model: Loads the ~YYXXth NPC model for this room for the current entity.

Example: D1 04 80

Loads Model 04 for Current Entity, I think D1 is used when you have the same model loadedmultiple times in the room. D1 04 80 Loads the Googhoul's Model in 1358.room_334_fort_dragonia_another_-_west_maze.script.cpt. There's 2 Googhoul) - would need more testing/data to be 100% sure.

[5] I think command C5 is related to the Sound. C5 UUVV WWXX YYZZ - Unknown. In my example: C5 0A 80 7F 80 00 80; this put the "Wing's Flapping" sound effect on Ghoogool. The closer you get to the Ghoogool the Louder the sound is. (Not sure if it always set like this)

How the Game Randomizes the Title Screen Sequence

0x015C: var[0x040E] = rand()
0x015F: var[0x040E] &= 3
0x0165: IF_JUMP(var[0x040E] == 0x0000, 0x0175)
0x016D: opD3("tit0")
0x0172: JUMP(0x01A5)
0x0175: IF_JUMP(var[0x040E] == 0x0001, 0x0185)
0x017D: opD3("tit1")
0x0182: JUMP(0x01A5)
0x0185: IF_JUMP(var[0x040E] == 0x0002, 0x0195)
0x018D: opD3("tit2")
0x0192: JUMP(0x01A5)
0x0195: IF_JUMP(var[0x040E] == 0x0003, 0x01A5)
0x019D: opD3("tit3")
0x01A2: JUMP(0x01A5)
0x01A5: op59()

Decompiled script for the room 1745 of ~CD2 (the programmer room with Kid)

Kid is entity 13 in the script. The interesting part:

0x0241: var[0x0400] = rand()%6
0x0246: IF_JUMP(var[0x0400] == 0x0000, 0x025F)
0x024E: op42(0x00, -642, -99, var[0x00C0])

0x02C3: SET_ANIMATION(1)
0x02C6: JUMP(0x02C9)
0x02C9: STOP()

Basically, the code means:

var[0x0400] = rand() % 6
switch(var[0x0400])
{
 case 0:
 op42(0x00, -642, -99, var[0x00C0])
 op42(0x01)
 wait(60)
 break;
 case 1:
 op42(0x00, -627, -99, var[0x00C0])
 op42(0x01)
 WAIT(40)
 break;
 case 2:
 op42(0x00, -607, -99, var[0x00C0])
 op42(0x01)
 WAIT(60)
 break;
 case 3:
 WAIT(60)
 break;
 case 4:
 SET_ANIMATION(9)
 break;
 case 5:
 WAIT(90)
 break;
 case 6:
 SET_ANIMATION(1)
 break;

Lucca's Letter to Kid

Apparently, if you let the game load Grobyc's model instead of the letter's, Luccia will hold mini Grobyc in her hand when you talk to her.
