	\|29\|\|0x01D\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>WorldNameLength</i><br>Length of the internal name of the world.		\|29\|\|0x01D\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>WorldNameLength</i><br>Length of the internal name of the world.
	\|-		\|-
	\|30\|\|0x01E\|\|[[char]][20]\|\|<i>WorldName</i><br>Internal name of the world.		\|30\|\|0x01E\|\|[[char]][20]\|\|<i>WorldName</i><br>Internal name of the world. For regular worlds, this usually matches the stem of the filename ("TOWN" for TOWN.ZZT); for save files, this is how ZZT knows which world the save came from.
	\|-		\|-
	\|50\|\|0x032\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>Flag0Length</i><br>Length of the name of Flag 0.		\|50\|\|0x032\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>Flag0Length</i><br>Length of the name of Flag 0.
	\|-		\|-
	\|51\|\|0x033\|\|[[char]][20]\|\|<i>Flag0</i><br>Name of Flag 0.		\|51\|\|0x033\|\|[[char]][20]\|\|<i>Flag0</i><br>Name of Flag 0. (An empty string indicates an unused flag slot.)
	\|-		\|-
	\|71\|\|0x047\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>Flag1Length</i><br>Length of the name of Flag 1.		\|71\|\|0x047\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>Flag1Length</i><br>Length of the name of Flag 1.
Line 157:		Line 157:
	\|7\|\|0x007\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>MessageLength</i><br>Length of the on-screen message.		\|7\|\|0x007\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>MessageLength</i><br>Length of the on-screen message.
	\|-		\|-
	\|8\|\|0x008\|\|[[char]][58]\|\|<i>Message</i><br>On-screen message. This is ~~used internally and is not~~ loaded by the game.		\|8\|\|0x008\|\|[[char]][58]\|\|<i>Message</i><br>On-screen message. This is loaded by ZZT but is usually ignored; it will only be displayed if ZZT's in-memory play state from the last game played ''also'' had an on-screen message at the time the user quit that game.
	\|-		\|-
	\|66\|\|0x042\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>PlayerEnterX</i><br>X-coordinate of the tile where the player entered the board.		\|66\|\|0x042\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>PlayerEnterX</i><br>X-coordinate of the tile where the player entered the board. These coordinates only matter when restoring a saved game. When playing a regular world, ZZT ignores the coordinates from the file and uses the player's actual entry coordinates.
	\|-		\|-
	\|67\|\|0x043\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>PlayerEnterY</i><br>Y-coordinate of the tile where the player entered the board.		\|67\|\|0x043\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>PlayerEnterY</i><br>Y-coordinate of the tile where the player entered the board.

	\|-		\|-
	\|2\|\|0x002\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>StepX</i><br>X-step value. This pair of values represents a vector that typically points in one of the four cardinal directions. Its use differs for each type of element.		\|2\|\|0x002\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>StepX</i><br>X-step value. This pair of values represents a vector that typically points in one of the four cardinal directions, or (0, 0) for no direction. Its use differs for each type of element.
	\|-		\|-
	\|4\|\|0x004\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>StepY</i><br>Y-step value.		\|4\|\|0x004\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>StepY</i><br>Y-step value.
Line 195:		Line 195:
	\|10\|\|0x00A\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>P3</i><br>Parameter 3. Its use will differ depending on the type of element.		\|10\|\|0x00A\|\|[[UINT8]]\|\|<i>P3</i><br>Parameter 3. Its use will differ depending on the type of element.
	\|-		\|-
	\|11\|\|0x00B\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>Follower</i><br>Follower status element. Its value determines if another status element is linked behind this one. Used for linking centipedes.		\|11\|\|0x00B\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>Follower</i><br>Follower status element. Its value determines if another status element is linked behind this one. Used for linking centipedes. Editors typically set both indexes to -1, which causes ZZT to link the centipede itself and fill in the correct values.
	\|-		\|-
	\|13\|\|0x00D\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>Leader</i><br>Leader status element. Its value determines if another status element is linked in front of this one. Used for linking centipedes.		\|13\|\|0x00D\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>Leader</i><br>Leader status element. Its value determines if another status element is linked in front of this one. Used for linking centipedes.
Line 205:		Line 205:
	\|17\|\|0x011\|\|[[INT32LE]]\|\|<i>Pointer</i><br>Stores the location in memory of the code that this status element is using. Status elements typically point to their own code until they #BIND the code of another - in which case this memory location value is replaced with the new one. ZZT does not use this value when loading worlds, and always sets it to 0 when saving worlds.		\|17\|\|0x011\|\|[[INT32LE]]\|\|<i>Pointer</i><br>Stores the location in memory of the code that this status element is using.

	\|21\|\|0x015\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>CurrentInstruction</i><br>The offset in bytes of the code block to execute ZZT-OOP from. Only Objects and Scrolls can execute ZZT-OOP.		\|21\|\|0x015\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>CurrentInstruction</i><br>The offset in bytes of the code block to execute ZZT-OOP from. Only Objects and Scrolls can execute ZZT-OOP. This is typically 0 (object starts at the top of its program), though objects can be pre-[[End\|#ended]] by setting this to -1.
	\|-		\|-
	\|23\|\|0x017\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>Length</i><br>There are two uses for this value: If Length is positive, it represents the number of bytes that are in the code block. If Length is negative, the absolute value of Length represents the index of the Status Element the current stat is [[Bind\|bound]] to, meaning the two stats share the same code block. (Zero simply means the stat's code block is empty; it is impossible to be bound to the stat at index 0.)		\|23\|\|0x017\|\|[[INT16LE]]\|\|<i>Length</i><br>There are two uses for this value: If Length is positive, it represents the number of bytes that are in the code block.
