Dark Wizard Resources and Files

UPDATE: As part of my ongoing effort to keep this post up to date I've been slowly converting my hex stat dumps to a nice decimal spreadsheet. It's a slow process but it has been good for spotting errors. In addition to that here's a second mini-spreadsheet listing the decimal values for classes, movetypes, spells, and all items in the game. These can be found in the Dark Wizard folder as Google documents. I was trying to import and update the stats spreadsheet but Google wasn't allowing that. Instead I've had to upload the new versions manually and delete the old ones.

UPDATE 2: Added the MLUNI### internal file names.
UPDATE 3: Added text offsets list (no disc file names yet for that though).
UPDATE 4: Added a compiled script dump to the Google Drive folder. This is just all the previous dumps in one large file. (See the first update for the link.)

Raw enemy stats as well as all script dumps are available in a folder over on Dropbox. To supplement the above I uploaded a pack of savestates packed via 7zip. These are savestates from Amon's game. It includes most towns although I deleted the early town states because I didn't think at the time that I'd be saving them long term. There are also start files for all the characters so I could compile start data and a few savestates from when I put the game into a badly bugged state. I didn't do anything extraordinary, one of the stage loaders is bugged. Anyway, that said, keep in mind that since these are from Amon's game some of these savestates lead to active battles.

In other news it appears some of the game's graphics are uncompressed. For two examples see below.

This is the town of Spring, file TLTOWN54.BIN on the disk, viewed in a tile editor with the correct set of palettes loaded from a savestate. Said savestate is loaded into Genesis Savestate Viewer, screen window opened with most of the layer elements hidden (that would be menus and text boxes). It might require zooming in but the graphical tiles for the town itself are fairly easy to pick out.

This file is MLUNI052.BIN, also known as a Death Dragon. This one may be a bit more confusing but things like horns and eyes are visible. It's also possible to tell what this particular file is because the first 11 bytes of every MLUNI### file are the internal file name albeit in romanized Japanese. (Watch out or the WAYBARN will get you! I'm serious, Wyvern is romanized as WAYBARN. I bet you thought only FF5's Playstation localization would do something like that, didn't you?)

These are definitely battle sprites. I loaded up Amon's file in a tile editor, imported the palettes from a savestate with Amon in a battle scene and it was obvious what the file was. (4bpp linear, row interleaved, apparently not compressed) The DESSKAL file is the skeleton warrior. It probably was finished last for some reason and was amended to the end.
