Editing Pikmin boss parameters

{{todo|Finish researching Global Parameters.}}
{{todo|Create proper Local Parameter Tables.}}
{{todo|Write a proper intro paragraph lol.}}
'''THIS PAGE IS A MASSIVE, MASSIVE WORK IN PROGRESS.'''  Not only is the formatting incomplete, but the research I have done is minimal so far.

Pikmin 1 stores its extremely lightly documented parameters for bosses in <code>root\dataDir\archives\bosses.arc</code>.  In this '''ARC''' file is the entirety of the <code>root\dataDir\bosses</code> directory.  Reference the files here for simplicity.

In the final release, boss parameters are read from excerpts of <code>..\archives\bosses.arc</code>.  In the [https://tcrf.net/Pikmin/Windows_Executable Windows x86 Debugger], boss parameters are read from <code>..\bosses\*\parms.bin</code> files.

Boss parameters in Pikmin 1 are fairly similar to those in Pikmin 2.  Both have identical '''sXX''' / '''sXXX''' parameters, the '''bXX''', '''cXX''', '''dXX''', and '''pXX''' parameters in Pikmin 1 are likely analogues to the '''fpXX''' parameters in Pikmin 2, and the same goes for the '''iXX''' parameters in Pikmin 1 and the '''ipXX''' parameters in Pikmin 2.

Both parameter systems follow a global/local parameter system.  In the case of the Pikmin 1 parameters, there are three sections, each terminated with <code>0xFFFFFFFF</code>.

'''Section 1)''' Contains the "global global" parameters.  These parameters are all over the engine.  Olimar also uses these parameters.  They are the '''sXX''' parameters.

'''Section 2)''' Contains the global parameters.  These parameters are shared among every boss, except for '''i10'''.  They are the '''bXX''', '''cXX''', '''dXX''', '''pXX''', and '''iXX''' parameters.

'''Section 3)''' Contains the local parameters.  These parameters are different for every boss, include lots of different labels, and are yet to be explored.  Not every boss has this section

All values stored in the four bytes following a parameter label are I-EEE 754 Floating Point Numbers (32-bit floats).  I currently have a theory that '''iXX''' are, in fact, integers, though have done no testing to back this up.

The best way to modify boss parameters currently is through the [https://tcrf.net/Pikmin/Windows_Executable Windows x86 Debugger], though it ''is'' possible to modify them for the final game as well.  I have done so, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXJFQKinoBM and you can watch it here].
