View source for Table files (D1DS)

'''Table files''' are files describing properties and statistics of various entities inside the game, e.g. items, classes or characters.  Each file essentially corresponds to a database table, with rows and columns, or (probably more true to the actual implementation) a row count followed by an array of some struct, with that many elements.

This page documents the structs for the various table files inside [[D1DS]].

Each table starts with the number of rows, as a u32, sometimes repeated twice for seemingly no good reason.  (One ugly way to deal with this is to start by reading two u32's, and then seek back 4 bytes if they're equal.)

== char.dat ==
Holds character/class data.

<pre>
struct {
  char name[19];
  char title[19];
  u8 type;         // 0 = Static? (cutscene/geo); 3 = Usable in-battle; 4 = Prinny; 6 = Prism Red (Doll)
  u8 unk1;

  u8 gender;       // 1 = Male; 2 = Female; 11 = Male (generic); 12 = Female (generic); 13 = Other (generic)
  u8 unk2;
  u8 tier;         // "Tier" into class/colour palette index
  u8 magic_rate;   // Rate of specials acquisition, judging by http://ningyokan.nisfan.net/game/disgaea/usa/usa-units3.html

  } wpn_mastery;

  struct {

  } aptitude;

  u16 immunity;     // Bitfield of immunities (0 for most, 255 for Divine Majin)
  u16 id;
  u16 family;       // Seemingly corresponds to row in "create character" screen, e.g. Male/Female Brawler kept separate, but mages are grouped, as are skulls.
  u16 unk3;         // (always 100)
  u16 unk4;         // (always 20)

  u16 magic_lvl[32]; // Level at which character learns the corresponding special
};
</pre>

== charhelp.dat ==
Class help descriptions.  These are shown in the "create character" screen, and so the table file includes strings that aren't ever shown in-game (e.g. for story characters or enemies).

<pre>
struct {
  u16 id;
  char description[62];
};
</pre>

== dungeon.dat ==
Gatekeeper warp data, powering the warp menu.

<pre>
struct {
  char name[18];
  u8 pad;
  u16 id;
  u16 talk;        // talk.dat entry to execute when map is selected from warp menu
};
</pre>

== ge.dat ==
Geo effects.

<pre>
struct {
  char name[21];
  char description[57];
  u16 id;
};
</pre>

== geocube.dat ==
Geocube effects (multiplayer).

<pre>
struct {
  u8 id;
  u8 unk1;
  u8 unk2;
  u8 unk3;
  u16 unk4;
  char name[17];
  char description[65];

</pre>

== habit.dat ==
Item inhabitants.

<pre>
struct {
  u32 unk1;
  char name[21];
  u8 pad1[1];
  u16 id;
  u8[20] item_chance;  // Chance to appear in an item, by item class. Which element corresponds to which item class isn't known exactly.
  // My best guess: ? Fist Sword Spear Bow Gun Axe Staff Monster ? Armor Belt Shoes Orb Glasses Muscle ? ? EX ?
  u8 pad2[1];
};
</pre>


== hospital.dat ==
Hospital rewards, with minimum requirements.

<pre>
struct {
  u16 id;
  u16 req_deceased;
  u32 item;    // (Key into mitem.dat) Item to obtain
  u32 req_hp;
  u32 req_sp;
};
</pre>

== magic.dat ==
Specials/spells.

<pre>
struct {
  u16 id;
  u16 wpn_level;       // Min. weapon skill level to unlock, if unlocked by weapon
  u16 power;           // Determines damage (TBD: how?)
  u16 sp;              // Base SP cost (TBD: determine growth curve)
  char name[17];
  char description[57];
  u16 unk1;            // ??
  u8 effect_param[5];  // Parameter to skill effect (see below)
  u8 wpn_type;         // 0 = not weapon tied; 1 = fist; 2 = sword; 3 = spear; 4 = bow; 5 = gun; 6 = axe
  u8 element;          // 0 = none; 1 = fire; 2 = wind; 3 = ice; 4 = star
  u8 spell_class;      // 2 = melee; 3 = magic; 4 = heal; 5 = buff; 6 = debuff
  u8 wpn_type_2;       // (copy of wpn_type)
  u8 range;
  u8 pattern;          // Attack pattern, complex, see below
  u8 range_up;         // Attack range vertically, constraints on height difference between tiles
  u8 range_down;
  u8 effect[5];        // Attack effects (see below), or 0 for no effect
};
</pre>

Some of these fields warrant additional explanation.  The ''effect'' and ''effect_param'' fields allow up to 5 effects to be associated with a spell.  Known effect numbers are listed below.

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Description

| 2 || ?
|-
| 11 || Atk +n%
|-
| 12 || Def +n%

The ''pattern'' field describes the attack pattern (which tiles are targeted relative to the user, etc). (TBD: document these.)
