TextBox
TextBox are mainly found in the menu, for example for the tutorial. They can be composed of:
- An ID
- A title
- A parent TextBox ID (the one we used to get to the current TextBox)
- Often different cursor location id
- Button info
- And sometimes a left box id and/or a right box id to be able to move with the left or right cross.
There is 5 section with string info in it, but before those 5 sections there is a “Seek map” section which indicate the different position of a String Entry.
Seek Map
Before the several string sections (5), there is a section with a map of seek data. The seek map is composed of 4 bytes containing the number of seek location, then for each of those seek location, 4 bytes info. So the total size of the seek map is 4 + 4*(Number seek).
Number seek
| Type | Size | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| UInt32 | 4 | Count | Number of seek locations. |
Seek location info
| Type | Size | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| UInt16 | 2 | Seek_Location | From beginning of section to start of String Entry |
| UInt16 | 2 | Section_Number | 0-5 |
String Entry
Then each string complex section is composed of the following data:
| Type | Size | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| UInt16 | 2 | Parent TextBox ID | 0xFFFF for the first TextBox |
| UInt16 | 2 | Left TextBox ID | 0xFFFF if no TextBox linked |
| UInt16 | 2 | Right TextBox ID | 0xFFFF if no TextBox linked |
| UInt16 | 2 | Entry_Length | Length of entry from start minus 1. |
| FF8 String | Depends | Title | The title of the TextBox, no offset specified to know the end. The 0x00 determines the end of the title |
| FF8 String | Entry_Length - 8 - Title_size | TextBox content | The text in the TextBox |
