Some questions

[Ideka]

Hi!

I hate to be asking so many questions, but this is kind of like the only place where I'll get good answers, so here they are:

1. In which file is the Arwing's display list stored in in OoT?

2. In which file are the item icon textures stored in in MM?

3. How would I make the young Link market accesible by adult Link in OoT?

4. In which file are the young Link market "skybox textures" stored in?

Thanks in advance!

1. The Arwing's actor overlay file, ovl_En_Clear_Tag.

 

Dunno/not sure about the others.

2. You can find these in a Hex Editor without much difficulty.

 

4. The sky is part of the JFIF pre-rendered backgrounds. There are no separate Skybox textures for the market.

Thanks for the answers! As far as this documentation goes the market is not part of the .JFIF backgrounds. I have heard that maps like these have their own skybox, but what do I know.

The Market is made up of multiple JFIF backgrounds. You can see this clearly in the documentation you linked.

Yes, the inside of the houses, the back alley and the entrance of the market are their own .JFIF backgrounds according to the documentation but the actual market doesn't seem to have any. Also extracting the textures of it results in multiple 32x64 textures, so I am not sure that it is .JFIF, since they are 320x240.

Each item icon is 32x32 rgba32.

 

The young Link skybox texture is in one map or scene file, because adult Link has a separate scene and map for the alternate market:

This page lists out which maps are for which, and it's likely in the zmap file, but not sure.

Yes, it is a JFIF background. The N64 only has 4KiB of TMEM to work with, so it uses texture atlases and renders the textures in tiles. 32*64*2 (rgba16) = 4096 = 4KiB; it just happens to be the maximum tile size they could use to render it.

 

Skyboxes are rendered the same way as well; with the actual textures being 128x64 & 128x128 in size (though only the upper-left 120x64 and 120x120 of the textures is actually used)

 

EDIT:

It's likely you may be looking in the wrong place. Most textures in a map should be in the corresponding scene file.

3. How would I make the young Link market accesible by adult Link in OoT?

You could modify the entrance table so that the child market scenes are loaded rather than the adult ones. The only thing to worry about is that you have to define alternate setups if you wanted different npcs loaded vs child/adult.
