{{DISPLAYTITLE:item_s_p.bin File Format}}
The "/BALANCE/item_s_p.bin" file in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky game is used to store data for the "exclusive items". Its wrapped in a [[Pmd2_SIR0|SIR0]] container.

== File Structure ==

=== Overview ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Offset
! Length
! Name
! Description
|-
| 0x00
| 16
| [[Pmd2_SIR0|SIR0 Header]]
| A SIR0 header wrapping the item data.
|-
| 0x10
| (NbEntries * 4)
| [[#Item Data|Item Data]]
| A block containing entries for all exclusive items.
|-
| After Item Data
| 3
| [[Pmd2_SIR0|SIR0 Pointer Offset List]]
| A list of encoded offsets to the pointers in the file. Since there are only the 2 pointers of the SIR0 header, those three bytes are always 0x04, 0x04, 0x00.
|-
| After SIR0 Pointer Offset List
| 13
| Padding Bytes
| Since all entries have a fixed size, and the SIR0 Pointer Offset List is 3 bytes long, 13 0xAA bytes are used as padding to align the end of the file on 16 bytes.
|}

=== Item Data ===

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Item Data Entry (Total length 4 bytes)
! Offset
! Length
! Type
! Name
! Description
|-
| 0x0
| 2
| uint16
| [[#Item Type|Item Type]]
| A number that indicates several things on the item.
|-
| 0x2
| 2
| uint16
| [[#Item Parameter|Item Parameter]]
| A parameter that depends on the [[#Item Type|item type]].
|}

=== Item Type ===
A list of the possible type values an "exclusive item" can have.
This list is based on data compiled by nhahtdh into the [http://apointlessplace.net/wms/research/ item_p_sky.xlsx excel document], and then verified/confirmed on our end.(See links in the [[#Credits|Credits]] section. )

The type can determine these things:
* The star rating of the item. (rarity)
* Whether its Pokemon-specific, or type-specific.
* If its a 1 star item, which of the 2 possible 1-star items is it.
* Whether its an item that a Pokemon can randomly get when hatching.
* And possibly, an additional unknown trait.

Here are the possible item type values, and what they imply:
{| class="wikitable"
! Value
! Rarity
! Item "Slot"
! Exclusive To
! Extra Trait
|-
| 0x0
| -

| The Pokemon may hatch holding the item.
|-
| 0xA
| ***
| -
| A Pokemon
| ? (Only all the Eeveelutions, and the Tyrogue line have items with this type! )
|}

=== Item Parameter ===
The parameter's value changes meaning depending on the exclusive item type.

Here are the two cases:
:* If the item's type is set to "exclusive to a Pokemon", the parameter contains that Pokemon's National Pokedex number.
:* If the item's type is set to "exclusive to a type", the parameter contains the ID of the type. (See [[Pmd2_monster.md|monster.md]]'s page for a list of values for each types.)

== External Resource ==
* Wonder Mail S Tools, research notes. The "items_p_Sky.xlsx" excel sheet contains a comprehensive list of item names/types, pokemon names/types, moves names, etc, along with their associated index values in-game : [http://apointlessplace.net/wms/]

== Credits ==
* The WMS project, for their notes. [http://apointlessplace.net/wms]
* OgreGunner and nhahtdh for that huge thread on GameFaqs filled with tidbits of information! [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/955859-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-explorers-of-sky/51698562]
