Global lists (warriors.glr)

Verified against: SLUS_212.15 (NTSC-U, SHA1 e9cb2cc49aa046b9e494313dce2f5038ed17b2f4) and the NTSC-U disc's WARRIORS.WAD. Disc checks made with coney-tools extract (2026-10-07), counts only.

Purpose

The global resource warriors.glr holds the tables the resource manager keeps for the whole game: which resources make a character or an object, which clips and sprite sheets can be loaded on demand, and which resources are always resident. This page gathers their layouts in one place for an extractor; what the game does with each is on the pages linked from each section. The resource's sound tables (chunks 0x29, 0x31, 0x48, 0x49) are on Audio data. The WAD holds two different resources with this hash (the second has a smaller Static Sounds chunk, otherwise the same lists).

Original structure

Each list is a chunk whose handler pops it and keeps pointers in the resource manager (0x0050cd4c) (Chunk system). Names are ours.

Address	Name	Role	Evidence
0x00178098	Character List handler	chunk 0x44: manager +0x80 chunk, +0x84 count, +0x88 records	confirmed (code)
0x00181170	Object List handler	chunk 0x46: manager +0x8c chunk, +0x90 count, +0x94 records	confirmed (code)
0x00178ee8	AnimList_OnLoaded	chunk 0x4E: manager +0x98 chunk, +0x9c count, +0xa0 records at chunk +4	confirmed (code)
0x00178b30	DependencyList_OnLoaded	chunk 0x4F: manager +0xa4 chunk, +0xa8 count, +0xac records at chunk +0x10; then wants the always group	confirmed (code)
0x00178bc8	DependencyList_SetGroup(hash, state)	sets the state of every record whose group or resource is the hash	confirmed (code)
0x00182820	Particle Page Header handler	chunk 0x4D: the sprite sheet table	confirmed (code)

Data

All values little-endian; a hash is a CRC-32 of a lower-case name (Name hashing).

Character List (chunk 0x44)

A 16-byte header whose first word is the count, then 32-byte records {model name, character data, model, texture dictionary, four sizes}. Layout and uses: Characters.

Object List (chunk 0x46)

A 16-byte header whose first word is the count, then 36-byte records {type name, damaged model's record, model, texture dictionary, second dictionary, four sizes}. Layout and uses: WAD contents.

Anim List (chunk 0x4E)

A count word, then {u32 hash, u32 size} per loadable clip resource. Confirmed (code) for the layout at 0x00178ee8; that it lists the clips SetDynamicAnimation can load is inferred (Animation).

Dependency List (chunk 0x4F)

A 16-byte header whose first word is the count, then 12-byte records:

Offset	Type	Meaning
+0x00	u32	the group hash: what wants the resource (always at load; on the disc mostly a model or dictionary name, so a resource lists its own dependencies)
+0x04	u32	the resource hash
+0x08	u16	state: written by DependencyList_SetGroup (1 = wanted)
+0x0a	u16	loaded

Confirmed (code) at 0x00178bc8 (the record size, the two hashes and the two half-words), 0x00178c48 (a binary search by resource) and 0x00178d48 (the next wanted, unloaded record becomes a load request named "%u" of its hash) (Graphics). Disc check (corroboration): 9,223 records under 1,441 groups, padded to a multiple of 16 bytes; every state and loaded word is 0 on the disc. Of the group hashes, the recovered names are model (dyn_beerbottle_geo, 98 records) and dictionary (dyn_crate_b_tex, 71) names; 1,419 records' groups are not named yet.

Sprite sheet table (chunk 0x4D)

A count word, then {u32 size, u32 name hash} per sprite sheet: GUI.

Coney's implementation

coney-tools extract (type data) writes each list as data/global/<list>.json with every hash in hex and its recovered name (python/src/coney_tools/extract_data.py).

Open questions

• What groups other than always the game asks the Dependency List for, and when.
