Editing Textdata effecttable.txt

'''<code>effecttable.txt</code>''' (5,535 bytes, part of [[BIN textdata]]) is a per-area time-windowed effect table, feeding channel "effect 2". One of six [[BIN textdata#Time-windowed world tables|time-windowed world tables]]; see that section for the shared mechanism.

== Format (10 columns, pure form) ==

<code>[fromWeek, fromDay, fromHour, fromMinute, target, value, toWeek, toDay, toHour, toMinute]</code> (<code>99</code> = wildcard). Target resolution: <code>target = col5 − 1</code>, then <code>&lt; 10000</code> → zone <code>zone_array[target]</code>; <code>≥ 10000</code> → map node <code>node_array[target − 10001]</code>.

== Loading (Ghidra) ==

Loaded from a small filename table (<code>004e4eec</code>–<code>004e4ef4</code>) via <code>load_effecttable @ 0049fe90</code> with type index 4 → channel selected by <code>GameWorld_get_effect_array @ 0049fdf0</code> → <code>effect2_array</code> (node/zone struct offset 100). Two-pass load: pass 1 counts entries per area (reads col5 only); pass 2 parses all 10 columns and appends a 44-byte <code>world_effect_entry</code> to the target's array.

Runtime query: <code>WorldZoneEntry_QueryEntryByType(zone, 4, week, dayOfWeek, hour, minute, setFlag)</code> returns the active entry's <code>value</code> (col6), or <code>-1</code> if none is active for the current in-game time.
