===Monster Name Pluralization Rules===
[[Dragon_Warrior_II::ROM_map/ASM|Commented Disassembly]]
; pluralize monster name
;
; starts reading the monster name backwards from the end of the string and applies the first applicable transformation
; -ch    -> -ches
; -dead  -> -dead (i.e. no change)
; -f      -> -ves (but no monster has a name that ends in f, so this rule is never used)
; -i      -> -ies
; -Man    -> -Men
; -man    -> -men
; -Mouse  -> -Mice
; -mouse  -> -mice
; -ngo    -> -ngo (i.e. no change)
; -rus    -> -rii
; -s      -> -ses
; -sh    -> -shes
; -y      -> -ies
; -      -> -s (everything else)

Menu Format

Menu string format is menu setup parameters + menu text, where the menu setup parameters are:

  • 1 byte menu type: bit 7 controls whether the menu has a cursor (1) or not (0), bit 6 controls whether the menu is linked to another menu via a displayed arrow in the top border (1; only set by the in-battle item menu) or not (0), bit 5 controls line spacing (1 = single spacing, 0 = double spacing)
  • 1 byte menu height: total height is this number of tiles x 2
  • 1 byte menu width: number of tiles x 1
  • 1 byte menu screen position: high nybble sets vertical position x 2, low nybble sets horizontal position x 2

If the menu has a cursor, then an additional two parameters are present:

  • 1 byte horizontal offset of second column cursor position relative to left edge of menu
  • 1 byte initial cursor position relative to top left menu corner; high nybble sets vertical position x 1, low nybble sets horizontal position x 1

If the menu is linked to another menu, then an additional parameter is present:

  • 1 byte index into the menu pointer table identifying which menu to show when the arrow in the top border is selected
Note for template.png
Note:
There is no dedicated end token for menu text; the game keeps printing data until the menu space (width x height as modified by line spacing) has been completely filled!
