Yo, er'body...I just found the main event script (no big whoop).  It' mag999_a.dat .  If anybody could maybe decipher how it works that's be great.  I just know that it was programmed by Shun Moriya and each event seems to be separated by

You'll see Shun Moriya and AKOA in this file at the starting positions
 
eh?
I dont see what the hex dump u posted was supposed to belong to?
but ill look at it tonight
edit
is this PC or psx?
 
Skillster that looks like the PC Version because the PSX version doesn't have that file anywhere :)

Cyb
 
yeah, it's the PC version.  Sorry I forgot to post that in my orginal post
 
Not to sound like the eternal pessimist here, but on what grounds do you claim that this is the main event script? (aside from the fact that the file has FF8's event script programmer's name in it). It's a large file, and it resides in the 'battle' folder, so it's more likely to have something to do with, oh I don't know, battles?

Anyway, I'm more curious to learn what those damn "AKAO" blocks are... they're present in more games that I can count on my fingers, and I've never found a good explanation on what they are...
 
Yes, but what do those blocks do? They're found in tons of files, and there's no clear correlation between them and any sound data. Just a four-letter word that forms the name of a programmer isn't exactly telling what the data does ^_^
 
I'm guessing that whenever AKAO pops up that's where the call for sound events are.
