New page

<onlyinclude>
<code>PTCL</code>(a.k.a <code>EFTB</code>/<code>VFXB</code>) files define certain graphical effects of objects such as emissions, particles, and shaders. They use the <code>.esetlist</code> extension. The format changes what structures it uses for different types of data between platforms, aside for <code>ESTA</code> and <code>PRMA</code>.
</onlyinclude>

== PTCL File Layout ==
PTCL files are made up of a header and four structures that are aligned to 16 bytes.
* Emitter Set Array
* Texture Array / Cafe Resource
* PRM{{check}} Array
* Shader Array / Binary Shader

Each array serves as a root node in a tree structure.

== PTCL Header ==
The <code>EFTB</code> and <code>VFXB</code> headers both contain different data, and as such have different size (0x30 and 0x40 respectively).

=== EFTB Header Structure ===
{| class="wikitable"
!Offset (h)
!Size
!Data Type
!Description
|-
| 0x00
| 4
| String
| file signature (magic) (<code>45 46 54 42</code> or "EFTB" in ASCII)

|-
| 0x08
| 4
| String
| Unknown (<code>47 61 6d 65</code> or "Game")
|-
| colspan="4" | ...
|}

=== VFXB Header Structure ===

!Description
|-

|}

== Nodes ==
Each node in an array's tree structure is made up of a header and three optional sections.
* Binary data
* Attribute nodes{{check}}
* Child nodes

=== Node Header Structure ===
Node headers typically have the same 32-byte structure, though some are longer and some calculate certain values differently.

{| class="wikitable"
!Offset (h)
!Size
!Data Type
!Description
|-
| 0x00
| 4
| Unsigned Int
| Signature (magic)
|-
| 0x04
| 4
| Unsigned Int
| Node size. Different node types calculate this differently.
|-
| 0x08
| 4
| Unsigned Int
| Offset to the first child node, or <code>FF FF FF FF</code> if there are no children
|-
| 0x0c
| 4
| Unsigned Int
| Offset to the next sibling node, or <code>FF FF FF FF</code> if there are no more siblings
|-
| 0x10
| 4
| Unsigned Int
| Offset to the first attribute{{check}}, or <code>FF FF FF FF</code> if there are no attributes
|-
| 0x14
| 4
| Unsigned Int
| Offset to the binary data, or the size of the header
|-
| 0x18
| 4
|
| Padding
|-
| 0x1c
| 2
| Unsigned Short
| Number of child nodes. Shaders' use of this value is unknown.
|-
| 0x1e
| 2
| Unsigned Short
| Unknown (<code>00 01</code>)
|}

=== Emitter Sets (ESTA) ===
The Emitter Set Array (ESTA) contains any number of Emitter Sets (ESET) as child nodes.

==== Emitter Set (ESET) ====
Emitter sets (ESET) contain 0x60 bytes of data after the header:

{| class="wikitable"
!Offset (h)
!Size (h)
!Data Type
!Description
|-
| 0x10 || 0x40 || String || 0-terminated string representing the name of the emitter set
|-
| 0x50 || 0x04 || Unsigned Int || Total number of emitters in the set, including all descendant nodes
|-
| 0x5a || 0x02 || Unsigned Short || Unknown
|-
| 0x5f || 0x01 || Byte || Unknown. Can be <code>0x00</code> or <code>0xff</code>
|}

The rest of the data block is padding.

Emitter sets also contain any number of Emitters (EMTR) as child nodes.

==== Emitter (EMTR) ====
An Emitter's (EMTR) data section is aligned to 0x20 bytes and contains the following data after the header:

{| class="wikitable"

Emitters can also have any number of attribute nodes (e.g. CADP, CSDP, FCSF), the purpose of which is currently unknown, as well as child emitter nodes.

===== Attributes =====

'''CADP''' causes an emitter to cast light on surrounding surfaces. It contains the following data:

{| class="wikitable"
! Offset (h)
! Size
! Data Type
! Description
|-
| 0x00 || 0x04 || Bitmask || Flag determining the light's shape
|-
| 0x04 || (variable) || Float || A variable number of floats whose purpose is unknown
|}

Shape flag:

{| class="wikitable"
! Flag
! Description
|-
| 0x00 || Sphere
|-
| 0x01 || Rod (e.g. swords)
|-
| 0x02 || Changes the orientation of Rod
|-
| 0x04 || Adds a dead zone to the center of Rod
|-
| 0x08 || Wide cone
|-
| 0x10 || Square

=== Textures (TEXA) ===
The Texture Array (TEXA) contains any number of Textures (TEXR), with each texture containing a single GX2 Texture Block (GX2B). The TEXA tree is flattened such that all TEXR nodes appear first, followed by all of their child GX2B nodes.

=== (PRMA) ===
The PRMA{{check}} contains any number of PRIM{{check}} nodes.

=== Shaders (SHDA) ===
The Shader Array (SHDA) contains a single{{check}} GX2 Shader Block (SHDB).
