Pan to absolute coordinates

[01 XXXXXX] [01 YYYYYY] [01 TTTTTT] [04 00 40 00] [00 00 AAAA] [05 00 D6 16] ([01 DDDDDD] [04 00 00 00])

Required:

  • XXXXXX = X destination
  • YYYYYY = Y destination
  • TTTTTT = Transition period (proportional to 1/speed)
  • AAAA = Unknown; 0x000F has been observed

Optional:

  • DDDDDD = Delay until continuing with parsing. This is typically included so that text doesn't begin showing up while the camera is still panning.

Example: when talking to the Magypsies for the first time, this script occurs when panning the screen towards Mixolydia:

$1280E58: [01 D8 00 00] [01 C0 00 00] [01 40 00 00] [04 00 40 00] [00 00 0F 00] [05 00 D6 16] [01 40 00 00] [04 00 00 00]

Sub-screen fade

These fades are slightly different that those above; these only fade the area behind the text box.

Example; after you finish providing your player name in the sanctuary, the screen briefly fades to white using the following sequence:

$1240134: [01 18 00 00] [04 00 00 00]
          [01 18 00 00] [01 18 00 00] [01 18 00 00] [04 00 75 00]
          [01 00 00 00] [01 18 00 00] [01 00 00 00] [04 00 74 00]
          [01 56 02 00] [01 FF FF FF] [04 00 83 00]
          [01 18 00 00] [04 00 00 00]
          [01 01 00 00] [01 18 00 00] [01 00 00 00] [04 00 74 00]
