ASM Tasks

Gestahl needs to stay put. He's called into battle once, and his "slot" gets used for the green soldier in certain instances I *think*. I would do $17 and $18.

I did this. However Wedge (either $17 or $18) appears as the green soldier in battle... Do you know where this is set? I've looked in C1 in vain...

Otherwise I got a working prototype that work. The battle intro "fix" will let us copy a battle intro of an existing characters for Iris and char 16. I tried to shift all the battle event data of 6 byte to have a dummy pointer then $17 and $18 but the game did not liked that, even after changing pointers programmatically. I realized today battle event command parameter are offsets in the battle event data that doesn't serve as script. Hence the crashing.

I relocated 4 tables which two will stay in .bin files due to their length. I changed everything that needed to except the battle palettes which we don't know yet. The man and old man NPCs are now at the very end. I'll wait before changing all the NPC data that needs to be changed.

If we can find that goddam soldier sprite set (or char $18 setting in $C1 or $C2) we will be set.
