SCUMM/V6 opcodes
SCUMM V6 opcodes
The following conventions are used in the encoding descriptions.
| $AB | The constant hexadecimal byte 0xAB. |
| value[8] | A constant byte value. |
| value[16] | A constant word LE value. |
The following conventions are used in the stack descriptions:
(in1, in2, in3 : out1, out2)
Indicates that the opcode is called with three items on the stack (the most recently pushed being in3) and replaces them with two items on the stack (the most recently pushed being out2).
abs ($C4)
Stack
(in : out)
Operation
out := abs(in)
The absolute value of the top-most item on the stack is calculated. (The absolute value being the value with the sign bit stripped off.)
actorFollowCamera ($79)
actorSet ($9D)
add ($14)
Stack
(in1, in2 : out)
Operation
out := in1 + in2
Performs a division operation on the stack.
animateActor ($82)

MM 5A byteArrayDec

byteArrayIndexedRead
Encoding
0A arrayp8
Stack
( indexx , indexy : value )
Operation
value := arrayp [ indexx , indexy ]
Reads the value at offset ( indexx , indexy ) from the array whose resource number is pointed to by arrayp . The array can be a byte or word array; byte values are not sign extended. Note that because arrayp is encoded as a byte, it can only point to a word variable in the range 0000 to 00FF. Use wordArrayIndexedRead for a more general form.
byteArrayIndexedWrite
Encoding
4A arrayp8
Stack ( indexx , indexy , value : -)
Operation arrayp [ indexx , indexy ] := value
Writes value to the array whose resource number is pointed to by arrayp at offset ( indexx , indexy ). The array can be a byte or word array; byte when writing to a byte array, value is truncated. Note that because arrayp is encoded as a byte, it can only point to a word variable in the range 0000 to 00FF. Use wordArrayIndexedWrite for a more general form.
byteArrayRead
Encoding
06 arrayp8
Stack
( index : value )
Operation
value := arrayp [0, index ]
Reads the value at position (0, index ) from the array whose resource number is pointed to by arrayp . The array can be a byte or word array; when writing to an array, byte values are not sign extended. Note that because arrayp is encoded as a byte, it can only point to a word variable in the range 0000 to 00FF. Use wordArrayRead for a more general form.
byteArrayWrite
Encoding
46 arrayp8
Stack
( index value : -)
Operation
arrayp [0, index ] := value
Writes value to the array whose resource number is pointed to by arrayp at offset (0, index ). The array can be a byte or word array; when writing to a byte array, value is truncated. Note that because arrayp is encoded as a byte, it can only point to a word variable in the range 0000 to 00FF. Use wordArrayWrite for a more general form.

delay
Encoding
B0
Stack
( delay : -)
Operation
Prevents the current thread from being rescheduled until delay ticks have passed. Deschedules immediately.
delayLonger
Encoding
B1
Stack
( delay : -)
Operation
Prevents the current thread from being rescheduled until delay× 60 ticks have passed ( delay seconds). Deschedules immediately.
delayVeryLong
Encoding
B2
Stack
( delay : -)
Operation
Prevents the current thread from being rescheduled until delay× 3600 ticks have passed ( delay minutes). Deschedules immediately.
dim
Encoding BC type8 arrayp16
Stack ( max : -)
Operation
Allocates or frees an array.
If type is CC, then the array whose resource number is pointed to by arrayp is freed. Otherwise, a new one-dimensional array with a maximum index of max (i.e., max is one less than the size) is allocated and the resource number written to arrayp .
When allocating an array, if type is C7 then the array will contain words; if it is CB, then it will contain bytes. All other values are undefined. [Currently they all produce a byte array. What are they?]
dim2
Encoding
C0 type8 arrayp16
Stack
( maxx , maxy : -)
Operation
Allocates an array.
A new two-dimensional array is allocated and the resource number is written to arrayp . The new array will have a maximum X index of maxx and a maximum Y index of maxy (i.e., maxy is one less than the size).
When allocating an array, if type is C7 then the array will contain words; if it is CB, then it will contain bytes. All other values are undefined. [Currently they all produce a byte array. What are they?]

div

17
Stack
( in1 , in2 : out )
Operation
out := in1 / in2

Encoding
A6
Stack
( left , top , right , bottom , colour : -)
Operation Draws a solid box on the backbuffer from ( left , top ) to ( right , bottom ) in the colour colour .

Operation Duplicates the top-most item on the stack.

eq

MM 92 findInventory
MM A0 findObject
freezeUnfreeze
Encoding
6A
Stack
( bool : -)
Operation
bool=0 :
Thaw all currently frozen threads.
0<bool<$80 :
Freeze all threads that are not marked as unfreezable.
bool³ $80 :
Freeze all threads, even those that are marked as unfreezable.
Freezing is a nestable operation; a thread which is frozen twice must be thawed twice before it becomes runnable again.

getRandomNumberRange
Encoding 88
Stack ( min , max , : result )
Operation A random number in the range min to max inclusive is calculated, and the result pushed onto the stack. The result is also written to the RandomNumber word variable (see 6.5).
