An area that has already been assigned can never be unassigned nor reassigned, even if it’s no longer needed by the hack that requested it. This rule is needed since some people might have an old version of a patch that still needs that area.

			All areas listed on this table are relative to the start of overlay 36 in RAM (0x23A7080). For quick reference, the common area starts at RAM offset 0x23D7FF0.

Frostbyte: Port extra overlay areas document to the wiki

Port extra overlay areas document to the wiki

New page

This page keeps track of the areas inside overlay_0036.bin (the extra overlay added by the [[ExtraSpace]] patch) that have been assigned to ASM patches.

If you want to make an ASM patch that needs extra space, you can request an area in the overlay by asking [[User:End45]]. Make sure to know how much space you will need beforehand. Also please add a .area directive that includes the start and end address of your area after it’s assigned so you don’t accidentally overflow it (<code>.area endAddress - startAddress</code>).

You can request the space assigned to your patch to be increased as long as there’s some free space after its section. If there’s not enough space before the next entry begins, you will have to request a new area and add the new extra code there.

An area that has already been assigned can never be unassigned nor reassigned, even if it’s no longer needed by the hack that requested it. This rule is needed since some people might have an old version of a patch that still needs that area.

| colspan="2" |'''Static init address array''': 32 pointers to functions that will be called when the overlay is loaded. Null pointers are skipped.

Other projects that use this overlay and need to perform some sort of initialization should add a pointer to their init function on the first empty slot in this array.

|0xD00 - 0xD80
| colspan="2" |'''Static init ID array''': 32 integers used to identify which project is making use of each of the 32 entries in the static init address array. Each project should have an unique ID. 0 if an entry is unused.

Projects must check these IDs to ensure they don’t overwrite an entry from another project. They must also make sure to remove their old entries (for example, if the location of the project’s init function changes) so the game doesn’t jump to outdated / invalid addresses.
