New page

This page documents the control codes used in ''The Wind Waker.'' Control codes modify the text drawn to the screen in some way, such as inserting button icon images or causing the text to halt for a specific period of time.

There are three control code structures differentiated by the size - five bytes, six bytes, or seven bytes.

=Five-byte Codes=

These control codes are five bytes long and have the following format:

<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
/*0x00*/ const byte Identifier = 0x1A; //This signals a control code
/*0x01*/ byte CodeLength;
/*0x02*/ bool IsSoundCode;
/*0x03*/ short CodeType;
</syntaxhighlight>

While the vast majority of the five-byte-long control codes follow this format, the code that causes a sound to play when it is reached is slightly different. This code identifies itself with the bool at offset 0x02 within the code. When this bool is true, CodeType actually refers to the ID of the sound to play rather than the code's type.

Below is a list of the valid code types and their meanings.

 CodeType 0x06 is found only once in ''The Wind Waker's'' text, but it has no noticable effect. It is possible that the code type was removed, but not all references to it were deleted.

		+
		+	Seven-byte-long control codes are used for two main purposes: changing the size of the text being drawn and causing the text to stop drawing for a given period of time. They are formatted as follows:
		+
		+	<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
		+	/0x00/ const byte Identifier = 0x1A; //Indicates control code start
		+	/0x01/ byte CodeLength;
		+	/0x02/ byte Unknown1; //Normally this is 0x00, but for the code that changes text size it's 0xFF
		+	/0x03/ short CodeType;
		+	/0x05/ short CodeData;
		+	</syntaxhighlight>
		+
		+	The possible values for CodeType and the meaning of CodeData are described below.
		+
		+	{\| class="wikitable"
