Object Data

The object lookup table is at 0x000A1C90 in ROM as an array of 1582 ObjectEntry structs.

struct ObjectEntry
{
    /*00*/ u16 objectId;  // unique identifier
    /*02*/ u16 unk02;     // probably padding
    /*04*/ u32 boObjectDefA; // bank-offset of ObjectDefA struct
    /*08*/ u32 boObjectDefB; // bank-offset of ObjectDefB struct
};

Object IDs

This structure defines the properties of an object.

This structure references a block of data in ROM. The block of data may either be raw or SMSR00 compressed depending on the srcSize and dstSize fields.

struct BlockInfo
{
    /*0x00*/ u32 dstSize; // decoded block size
    /*0x04*/ u32 srcSize; // encoded block size
    /*0x08*/ u32 boData;  /* bank-offset of the data (may be a CMPR or raw)
                             if the data is raw, both size and sizeEnc will be the same value */
};

This struct references code that an object should use. It can either reference an overlay file or a single function already in memory.

struct CodeInfo
{
    u8 useOverlay;          // 1 = use overlay, 0 = use nativeFunc
    u8 _pad[3];             // padding
    union {
        void *nativeFunc;   // pointer to native function
        struct
        {
            u32 romStart;       // overlay rom start address
            u32 romEnd;         // overlay rom end address
            void *fakeMemStart; // fake ram start address 
            void *fakeMemEnd;   // fake ram end address
        } overlay;
    };
};
