Data

Offset	Data Type	Length	Variable	Description
0x00	bitfield	0x1 Bytes	breakage	Turns off and on the partsBreak flags for the model. Used to disable body parts as they are damaged (IE: Ifrit's Horn). Up to 8 flags.
0x01	hi/lo nibble	0x1 Bytes	chant	Sets the casting animation for a model's left and right hands. HiNibble: Right hand, LoNibble: Left hand. You can check the bid file of a monster to find the animations. Also sets the state of the crafting ball.
0x02	hi nibble	1/2 Bytes	modeNumBools	Allocates a number of bits for bitfield use in the mode field. Doesn't seem to effect gameplay, rather used for debugging purposes (cmdDev).
0x02	lo nibble	1/2 Bytes	guard	Sets the guarding animation for a model's left or right hands. Used for when guarding was manual. Bit0: Right Hand, Bit1: Left Hand.
0x03	byte	0x1 Bytes	waste	Dims the main weapon to signify damage. Unused in retail. Values go from 0-3, only HiNibble changes anything. Used to change the amount of arrows appearing in a quiver.
0x04	bitfield/value	0x1 Bytes	mode	Sets various passive graphical options for a model. Eg: Ifrit's Plumes, his glow, and HellFire. Can be a value or a bitfield, but the latter seems to be used 99% of the time.
0x05	byte	0x1 Bytes	unknown
0x06	uint16	0x2 Bytes	motionPack	Sets the idle animation for this actor. Used by most event NPCs. Seems to only open "<model>/cmn/fid/<mpackID>" animations. Strangely the lua "get" method only returns a byte.

Notes

• _getSubStatObject: Returns the second byte; 2 values up to 3 for the HiByte, and a third one just for the LoByte. Labeled: State1, State2, ExtraState.

• _getSubStatMode: Can be a mix of booleans and a number. Configured by byte 0x3's HiNibble. It sets a value from 0-8, allocating the high area of byte 0x6 for bools. The remaining is for a number. This is the command debugger text:

 // devc set [target] mode [number] [booleans]
 Set ActorSubStat-Mode of [Target] to [number], [booleans]
 [number] is a numerical part, [booleans] is a boolean part
 It is specified as 01011. Specify a hyphen (-) when not specified.
 Example) // dev set <t> mode 30 01011
 Example) // dev set <t> mode - 1110000
