Map Structure

Maps in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are stored in fielddata\landdata directory. List of Maps

Each map is divided in four parts

The first 0x10 bytes give the sizes of each section as such:

Location Description

FIRST PART- MOVEMENT PERMISSION

First part represents movement permission. It's length depends from maps and is characterized by a sequence of XX YY XX YY ...

XX = special permissions
