The format has not seen a lot of research as of September 2018, despite the executable being full of debug strings that include field names and the fact that other recent Nintendo games such as ''Splatoon 2'' ship the library with debugging symbols. | The format has not seen a lot of research as of September 2018, despite the executable being full of debug strings that include field names and the fact that other recent Nintendo games such as ''Splatoon 2'' ship the library with debugging symbols. | ||

=== <s>Event timelines</s> === | |||
[[bfevtm]] files (binary event timelines) are extremely similar to [[bfevfl]] files (binary event flowcharts), but have a few significant differences that make them incompatible with the [https://github.com/leoetlino/evfl evfl] library as of September 2018. | |||
Because timelines are exclusively used by the event manager — unlike flowcharts which are also used by smaller subsystems like TipsMgr — for [[demo]]s, it has proven difficult to find the code that reads timelines. | |||
If you are willing to take up this task, please ping [[User:leoetlino|leoetlino]] for the Switch 1.5.0 IDC. | |||
'''Update''' (16/12/2018): All timeline-related structures are now known thanks to Nintendo shipping the EventFlow library with full symbols in another game. Some fields are still unknown at the moment, though (see [https://github.com/leoetlino/bfevfl-template/blob/master/timeline.bt leoetlino/bfevfl-template:timeline.bt] and [https://github.com/leoetlino/bfevfl-template/blob/master/actor.bt leoetlino/bfevfl-template:actor.bt] for more details). | |||
'''Update''' (19/12/2018): [https://github.com/leoetlino/evfl evfl v0.13.0] now supports event timelines. | |||

How often does AutoPlacement code run? RailDistance? Does it check the camera field of view to decide whether to spawn dragons or not? | |||
Which positions are being considered for spawning actors? | |||

How does this glitch work? How is the sliding direction determined? | |||

How does this glitch work? Is there anything else that could trigger a similar state? | |||

{{lta|link=Object respawning}} | |||
While the respawn logic for most objects is very simple, some entities do not ''appear'' to be affected by Blood Moons: fruits on trees, shop items. Investigate GameDataMgr as this is likely where the logic is. | |||
=== <s>One-hit kill protection</s> === | |||
It is well known that Link cannot die in one-hit under specific cases. What are the exact conditions for this protection to apply? Interestingly, it appears this mechanic is gone in Master Mode. | |||
<code>NoDeathDamageBase</code> (in Link's [[ActorParam/GeneralParamList|GeneralParamList]]) might be related. | |||
