Nex Tables¶
Note
This is far from complete considering there are over 800 tables.
About DLCFlags column
This is used to 'hide' or 'show' columns depending on dlc entitlement. TLDR: 10020 = Echoes of the Fallen, 10030 = The Rising Tide.
When the nex database is loaded, dlcentitlement is fetched & entitlement verified to check for listed dlcs and sets global's bit flags. Unlock bit 2 = dlcentitlement id 2, Unlock bit 4 = dlcentitlement id 3
Then, dlcentitlement (1019), dlcitem (1009) and dlcpathlist (1021) are marked as whitelisted rows, where all rows are available regardless of DLCFlags.
Finally the game goes a specific set of DLCFlags. For each DLCFlags, the game goes through all tables and each row. In order:
10080- Unknown, included by default10040- Unknown, included by default10092- Unknown, included by default10010- If dlc unlock bits is 1 (always 1 by default).10060- Unknown, included by default10020- If dlc unlock bits has 2 (Echoes of the Fallen)10070- Unknown, included by default10030- If dlc unlock bits has 4 (The Rising Tide)10050- Unknown, included by default
Handling happens at sub_140805C00 (ffxvi.exe 1.0.1 steam). Signature: 48 89 5C 24 ? 48 89 6C 24 ? 48 89 74 24 ? 57 48 83 EC ? 44 0F B6 81
About Comment column
This would normally contain row 'names' or columns which was stripped by SQEX for release. More importantly it may have been used by them to better display row links in excel by using this column as a name.
FF16Tools may automatically include comments which may be defined in .layout files. Please contribute!
