What typ means? (If you know.)

Mr.Rubinshtein

are you modifying the cutscene Adrien? :issou:

Mr.Rubinshtein

cause it feels like you are changing the camera angle shot effects

Mr.Rubinshtein

by adding a filter to a shot

AdrienTD

typ is just the compression type used for that particular data

AdrienTD

And no I haven't changed the cutscene

AdrienTD

It's black/white because the palette isn't found thus I just used a grayscale palette for now

AdrienTD

As the cutscenes are 8bpp

AdrienTD

Here is the same picture now with its palette (I have to manually locate the palette in Ghidra and enter the address in the ROM)

AdrienTD

And yeah, the cutscenes and other backgrounds are compressed

AdrienTD

So I had a lot of fun trying to disassemble and understand the compression used in XXL GBA :Pedlar:

Марія Форґут

wow.

AdrienTD

It's basically a mix of RLE, Lempel-Ziv, and there's also a trick where for a sequence of bytes only the lower n bits are stored for every byte, which the top 8-n bits being fixed.

AdrienTD

kawaii 🥺

Марія Форґут

Would it be released with the new version of XXL Editor?

AdrienTD

It it will ever be released, it would be a separate tool
