Editing Pikmin boss parameters

{{todo|Finish researching Global Parameters.}}
{{todo|Create proper Local Parameter Tables.}}
'''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>parms.bin</code> files.  These can be found under <code>...\dataDir\bosses\'''boss name'''\</code> for each boss in the game.  Note that your conception of bosses and the game's perception likely differ, as water geysers are bosses internally.
Thanks to some resounding similarities between the parameter files of Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 (similar labeling and both having a bizarre '''bounciness''' stat under the same label), figuring out some lesser obvious parameters should be possible by cross referencing.
The similarities between Pikmin 1 and 2 don't stop there, however.  Pikmin 1 appears to have a universal system of global and local parameters, with the first two group of these tables being global, and the third group (if present) being local.  The interesting stats are usually the local ones, so being able to locate them is great for our cause!
Finally, all values AFAIK are 32-bit single precision floats.  If you don't know what that means, just know you're probably gonna need an online converter to understand what you're doing while inputting new values to these parameter files.

Currently, boss parameter modification does not work on console for an unknown reason.  All testing has been done in the [https://tcrf.net/Pikmin/Windows_Executable Windows x86 Debugger]

 {{todo|Create proper Local Parameter Tables.}}
 '''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.
+Currently, boss parameter modification does not work on console for an unknown reason.  All testing has been done in the [https://tcrf.net/Pikmin/Windows_Executable Windows x86 Debugger]
-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].
