'''LEB''' is a custom format used to store room data in Link's Awakening. This format is still in the process of being reverse engineered and so this page is currently incomplete.
'''LEB''' is a custom format used to store room data in Link's Awakening. This format is still in the process of being reverse engineered and so this page is currently incomplete.


Note that many properties in these files define measurements in 3D space; since Link's Awakening is a top-down game we will call the vertical axis Z (i.e. the axis perpendicular to the plane of the floor), and X and Y will be as normal for a 2D game.
Note that many properties in these files define measurements in 3D space (X, Y, Z). X is horizontal across the screen, Y is perpendicular to the ground (the axis on which gravity acts), and Z is vertical across the screen.

This is a FixedHash child. It defines relevant co-ordinate points for actors in the room to use. Examples of this include points which actors can force Link to walk to during events, where a seashell should land from bonking a tree, and more.

There is one entry per point. Points have data blocks of 0x18 bytes each. This block consists of 3 floats (4 bytes each) representing the (X, Z, Y) of the point. It appears that this is always followed by 0xC bytes of FF to fill out the block, but the reason for this is not known.

The co-ordinate system spans entire maps and is not specific to each room. [0, 0, 0] is the very top left corner of the map, at the elevation of the main floor plane of the map.

Each room is 10x8 tiles, so they span 15 units along the X axis and 12 along the Y axis.

|bit field
|Unknown. The most significant byte appears to always be 0x80.
|The 4 bytes here seem to make up a bit field with a number of flags defining various tile properties.
 
 
The first two bytes are set in a pattern that is consistent with the terrain collision of the room, but editing it does not seem to have any actual effect on the collision of the room. Will require more testing.
 
Byte 1 (bits 76543210):
 
7: indicates that there is solid collision to the south of this tile
 
6: unused?
 
5: indicates that there is solid collision to the east of this tile
 
4: unused?
 
3: indicates there is solid collision to the north of this tile
 
2: unused?
 
1: indicates that this tile contains solid collision
 
0: indicates that the tile is deep water or lava (as opposed to shallow)
 
 
Byte 2:
 
7-2: unused?
 
1: indicates that there is collision to the west of this tile
 
0: unused?
 
 
Note that in considering if there is collision next to a tile, it doesn't consider adjacent rooms. Tiles at the edge of a room will not "see" any collision past that edge.
 
 
Byte 3:
 
7: Appears to always be 0
 
6: Unknown. Set for the vast majority of tiles, but unset in a few specific cases. This is observable in overworld screens around the graveyard, and the bottom left of Signpost Maze (where the stairs to Mamu are).
 
5: Appears to indicate whether the tile is allowed to "refresh its state" when you move away from the room. Most tiles have this bit set. This bit is set to 0 for every tile which contains a seashell under a rock, bush, or dig spot, and also the tile of the Slime Key (also a dig spot). Something these tiles have in common is being able to retain the state of the item on the ground for longer than other tiles' states (e.g. simple grass being cut). Oddly, every walkable tile in Lv1TailCave_04B (the spike turtle room) does not have this bit set, which differs from literally every other dungeon room.
 
4: Whether or not the tile is a valid respawn point from loading a save file
 
3: Whether or not the tile is a valid respawn point from voiding out
 
2: Set if the tile is water/lava. Whether or not the tile is deep water seems to depend on something else. If set, the elevation for this tile does not appear to impact collision, only the height above the ground where splashing effects appear.
 
1: Appears to always be 0
 
0: Whether you can use the shovel to dig on the tile.
 
 
The last fourth byte appears to always be 0x80, or 0b10000000.
