Ok, I'm trying to work out what the battle flags correspond to within offset 0x10 of the battle setup. The documented description within the qhimm wiki battle scenes reads "Escapable Flag (Along with other flags)". This topic tells me a small amount, as does this topic, however this video explains a little more.

Long story short, I'm writing an in-depth FAQ about damage overflow, and I need to cite every single enemy in which back damage is possible. I can find the side attack formations easily enough, however the preemptive chance uses a different flag.

Here are the 16-bit values that are being used (that I've seen, anyway):

(much later) EDIT - now that i know definitely what the flags do, I've changed the info in the coding tag below to display the correct info. I'm still unsure of the 0x02 flag, although this is primarily used against enemies with multiple limbs:
Code: [Select]
Code: 
FD = Normal fightED = Preemptive OFFF9 = Can't EscapeF7 = No Victory poseFF = 0x02 ONF1 = Can't Escape & No Victory poseE9 = Can't Escape & Preemptive OFFFB = Can't Escape & 0x02 ONEF = Preemptive OFF, and 0x02 ONF3 = Can't Escape, No Victory Pose and 0x02 ONEB = Can't Escape, Preemptive OFF and 0x02 ONE3 = Can't Escape, Preemptive OFF, No Victory Pose and 0x02 ON
Now, I haven't done much raw testing yet, I was hoping maybe someone would be able to tell me not to bother, it's already been figured out, but anyway, here are my current predictions of the 4 bits that are in use:

(much later) EDIT - These are now correct:

Bit 1  ON = ???? used on enemies with multiple limbs
Bit 2 OFF = Can't Run             
Bit 3 OFF = Fanfare/Victory pose won't play
Bit 4 OFF = Preemptive off

Also, does anyone know of a list that cites the formations that the game actually uses? If not, I'll be able to go through each field map with Makou Reactor to determine know which Side Attack formations are actually being used, and if someone can confirm/deny my battle flag hypothesis, then I'll be able to accurately cite each enemy that can take back damage for the field maps....

What about the World Map encounters? Do we know precisely which formations are used and which are unused? picklejar uploaded the world map scripts, and while I've been able to find scripts that engage forced battle encounters 01D5 (Midgar Zolom), 03D6 (Ruby Weapon), and all of the Ultimate encounters, I haven't been able to find any of the random encounter scenes.

This should be an accurate list of enemy formations and where they are fought-- the absence of location information indicating an unused encounter. WM event encounters aren't noted though. I believe for each of them the first listed is the used one (e.g. Ruby Weapon: 982 used; 983, 984, and 985 unused). For Ultimate Weapon they're all used except the one on the black background, and for Mystery Ninja 296, 297, and 298 aren't used but the rest are.

(Edit: another explanation of WM encounters)

WM encounters are in enc_w.bin in the wm LGP. Blocks are 6 normal encounters, 2 back attack, 1 side attack, 1 both sides, 4 chocobo encounters. Each encounter is two bytes, First byte is encounter ID, second byte is encounter rate, although it only uses the first six bits (apparently the remaining two bits are also for the encounter ID, although all encounters used on the WM have an ID < 256). Each block starts with two bytes, first byte is 0x01 if encounters are set, 0x00 if not. Second byte is the area's enc rate, which does take into account all eight bits.

There are four blocks to an area of WM (the WM pole-placing place in Great Glacier is with the Icicle Area lot).

For example, this is the first four (starts at offset 0xA0) for Midgar

Hey, thanks for this, I've already had the wikia enemy formations bookmarked, however your link provides a little bit more detail. Additionally, I was messing around with Ochu the other day, and I noticed how DLPB has kindly included 2 .txt files listing all Battle Encounter formation with IDs, and all Field Maps with IDs. All this time that's been sitting on my computer, I could have done with it a while ago, too!

Excellent! So now I can accurately detail which world map encounters are being used. I decided to look at the encounters for Wutai Dirt area:
Code: [Select]

By cross referencing the work that Terrence has done in his Enemy Mechanics FAQ, I can be sure that I am deciphering the values correctly. Which I am  :) Nice one JBed! Also, thanks for posting that link to Aali's explanation of how the bitmasking works; now I understand why the encounter rate wants to be divided by 4 - because effectively a right bit shift of 2 is taking place (as only 6 bits are looked at).

So that solves that puzzle, now I just need someone to confirm my battle flag speculation, and I'm away. I will be able to confirm for myself though eventually, but it would be nice to know in advance if my theory is correct.
One other thing to ask, does anyone know of a good (free) hex analyzing software? Basic functions such as searching for differences between two hex tables, and offset (column) searching would be ideal. I figured this would be the best place to ask!

Yeah those encounters of course match up to the scene.bin formations (from field battle ID shift 2 places to right).  Field Map IDs are in order of flevel ID, which you can also view through Makou Reactor  :)
 
Yeah, I've already started mapping out which field encounters are actually used thgrough MR, however I didn't know that the field map encounters IDs are listed in the same sequence that the field maps themselves are listed. Handy to know!  :)
 
Not that this is pertinent:

Wow, DDJ! You really ticked some admin off. I motion for a vote of no confidence in our leaders. Even if that's not a thing.
 
I'll donate you some of my stack and get you wrapped back around to positivity.

To the contrary; I actually amassed soooo much karma in such a short space of time that I overflowed into the minus! Thanks DLPB, now I'm on -32767  ;D

OK, I've finished looking at which formations are used within the World Map, and from what I can see there are three formations that aren't in use:

 - Battle #87 (57h) Grangalan (Beach)
 - Battle #138 (8Ah) Crown Lance (Cosmo Canyon)
 - Battle '139 (8Bh) Crown Lance x2 (Cosmo Canyon)

Also, I'm pretty certain now that the 0x10 setup flag handles Preemptive Strikes, still more testing to be done, but it's been fairly consistent so far. the 0x08 seems to disable the victory pose from playing out (Diamond Weapon), and I'm really not sure what 0x02 does. The only difference I can make out in-battle is the characters could not target each other when attacking.

Haven't done any 0x04 tests yet, but I highly suspect that this is the 'can't run' flag.
 
I've also found 1 more WM encounter that isn't used - #103 (066h) which is a Side Attack against a Harpy.

Here's what I now know for definite about the setup flags after testing (this topic should've been called FF7 Setup Flags, as those are the flags I'm referring to, not the Battle Flags):

0x02 OFF = ? ? ? ? (according to NFITC1 this affects the animations for multiple enemies)
0x04 OFF = Can't Escape
0x08 OFF = Fanfare/victory pose won't play
0x10 OFF = Preemptive chance disabled


So, I'm a little bit confused about the Mystery Ninja. Each Forest should have 6 different potential battles formations to call upon, based on Cloud's current level. i can't find these anywhere within world_fr.lgp. Take the Junon forests for example. According to Terrence's Enemy Mechanics FAQ, the Yuffie Encounter rate is 32/256 (so 8 ). Each Yuffie scene has 2 identical formations, the only difference being the background (Forest or Jungle). Take the lowest leveled Yuffie Lv 17 (Enemy 161h), these are formations #268 (10Ch) Forest & #269 (10Dh) Jungle.

With 8 encounter rate, I'm believe I'm searching for either 0C21 or 0D21. I can't seem to find these values that handle the Yuffie encounters. Any help?

Additionally, Terence was unable to work out what GlobalVar:0x02 was. This is what sets Yuffie's initial level after the battle has ended I suspect.
 
I've finished with the World Map encounters now, I thought I might as well share this in case anyone's interested:

-EDIT- I've updated the formation listings below to include Attack Type as well as formation positioning.

Also, if anyone has any pointers where the Yuffie encounters are kept Id be grateful!

That's a fantastic list!

Yuffie encounters, as well as starting Battle Arena formations, are hard-coded in the executable. I don't know where that is on the PSX.
 
Aren't the starting Battle Arena formations in flevel.lgp? They're all in clsin2_1's main script. It randomises a number between 0 and 7 (random byte + bitwise AND 7), and checks for GM/PPV<=560, elseif <=1008, and else (>1008) to determine the set.

Yes, I'd clocked that. There are 3 "sets" chosen based on game moment, and you'l have one of 8 starting battles chosen at random for each set. Plus the Special battle. I'm creating a chart that looks like this:

I've filled out the canvas for all 999 battles, and now that I've finished with the WM encounters, I'm going through Makou Reactor to cite the "used" formations. I've just finished doing a search all for op code 70 - "BATTLE" (forced encounters), now I'm going through the random encounters, screen by screen.

Thanks again for your help JBed!! BTW, I'm loving the work you're doing to the Wikia!!
 
That's really some great findings! Good job! :)

I wonder if it's actually possible to manually set one's karam ::)

I've just discovered something interesting. The official description regarding the 0x0002 battle flag at offset 0x0C within the Formtion set-up reads: "Indicates initial direction facing if players get a side attack". This is false.

When receiving a "Pincer Attack", or "Attack from both sides" (which is how the description should read), the Can't Run flag is enabled by default. Within the Battle Formation enemy data, two groups of enemies will be selected via the 0x0002 Flag. Those on the left are given FFFD and those on the right are given FFFF. Once one groups has been destroyed, the Can't Run flag is disabled.

The 0x0002 Flag is being used to purely group the enemies together on one side so the game knows when to let you escape. I tried changing all enemies to have FFFF, and I was able to escape straight away. the same thing happened when I changed them all to FFFD.

 ;)
 
Thinking on it a little further, the FFFD flag must also be used as so that the game know when you have been back attacked or not. If the last time you were hit was from an enemy with the FFFD flag, and now you're hit by an enemy with the normal FFFF flag then you shall receive 2x damage I'd imagine.

Perhaps a similar flag is used for the characters during a side attack, so the game knows when you're causing back damage to the enemy?
