to whom it may be of use to

New page

Using this page to write up instructions for a straightforward patch allowing one to specify alternative/additional layouts in '''Settings/rb.gamedata'''

The file table entries for '''Settings/rb.gamedata''' and '''fonts/rbstrings.xls'''look like this:
{{table}}
{{OBDth}}
{{OBDtrBK|File table, 8881st entry}}
{{OBDtr| 0x23300 | offset |FFC8C8| 26 BC 04 00 | 0x4BC26 | offset to file name, from start of file name block, in bytes
*in this case it points to <nowiki>0x800+0x41800+0x4BC26=0x8DC26</nowiki>
*the string at that address is '''fonts/rbstrings.xls''' (null-terminated) }}
{{OBDtr| 0x23304 | offset |FFFFC8| 00 88 7C 02 | 0x27C8800 | absolute offset to file data, from start of DAT file, in bytes }}

Adding all layouts to '''Settings/rb.gamedata''' is as simple as making the following value changes to '''RB.DAT''' (after making a backup)
