To do: Get either images or the actual text for each log, so its clear what they refer to. Also probably better formatting from someone good at it.

This is a table in the game's code that dictates how the end of day logs work in Pikmin. In the event that conditions for multiple are met in a day, this table determines which one takes priority. It also determines if a log that is triggered, but not viewed on the same day should be forgotten, kept, or reset.

Value explanations

The resultsFlags table is an array of 75 entries, for every possible log, including unused ones.

  1. The first value, the index, is the ID of the BLO file to open for this log. You will notice some are skipped, either for unused BLO files or logs that consist of multiple BLO files.
  2. Next is a flag that dictates if the log should be enabled every day by default. This is used for all of Olimar's "nothing" logs that appear when he has nothing specific to write about.
  3. The third value is the logs priority. In the event multiple logs are met in a day, the one with the lowest priority value will be seen.
  4. The final value determines what to do if the log's condition is met, but it is not seen on the same day. 0 means that the log will be forgotten forever, 1 means it will be reset so it could be triggered again on a later day. 2 means it will remain in the queue and will be used as soon as nothing with higher priority is used over it.

For example, the log about Olimar being KO'd has very high priority, since if that happened, Olimar would definitely be writing about it right away. But if it were to get skipped that day anyway, its store value is set to 1, so it will be reset and could be triggered on a later day.

Once a log has been used, it can never be used again, regardless of any values in its table.

Lastly, this table also includes what events trigger a log to be viewable that day. Some are very self-explanatory, others not so much. It also has conditions that can force a log to be dropped, even if it was triggered that day.

For example, when Yellow Pikmin are gotten, a log is set about how Olimar has found Yellow Pikmin, but does not know about bomb rocks yet. Once a bomb rock is used, that log is cancelled and killed permanently, and the version where he does know about bomb rocks is put in instead. Once a log has been cancelled, it can never be seen. Same goes for a log with store type 0 that isn't seen on the day it's triggered. This is why some logs are very uncommon to actually see, especially for the bosses.

Table

Description BLO index Auto-enabled Priority Store type Trigger Trigger cancel Notes

Unused Controls Log 2 29 No 201 Keep Set on at end of day 1 Unset upon starting a file This one is still enabled, but it's killed upon starting a file anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Unused Controls Pikmin Log 31 Yes 202 Keep N/A Unset upon starting a file Unused again, seems to be related to Pikmin turning pale.
