Battle Parameters
The Battle Parameter files define the stats for various enemies in the game. In a normal install of PSO Blue Burst, these files can be found in the data directory with the following names:
- BattleParamEntry.dat -- Episode 1 enemies (offline/single player mode)
- BattleParamEntry_on.dat -- Episode 1 enemies (online mode)
- BattleParamEntry_lab.dat -- Episode 2 enemies (offline/single player mode)
- BattleParamEntry_lab_on.dat -- Episode 2 enemies (online mode)
- BattleParamEntry_ep4.dat -- Episode 4 enemies (offline/single player mode)
- BattleParamEntry_ep4_on.dat -- Episode 4 enemies (online mode)
Battle Parameter Format
Each file contains 96 entries per difficulty level, each of which is formed as follows (all multi-byte quantities are little endian):
| Bytes | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0x00-0x01 | ATP |
| 0x02-0x03 | PSV (Perseverance -- basically their intelligence) |
| 0x04-0x05 | EVP |
| 0x06-0x07 | HP |
| 0x08-0x09 | DFP |
| 0x0A-0x0B | ATA |
| 0x0C-0x0D | LCK |
| 0x0E-0x0F | ESP |
| 0x10-0x1B | Unknown |
| 0x1C-0x1F | Experience |
| 0x20-0x23 | Unknown (newserv labels it difficulty) |
All of the entries for each difficulty are together in the file. They are ordered in order of increasing difficulty (so, normal comes first, then hard, then very hard, then ultimate). The online and offline versions of the files are ordered the same way.

Note, there is additional data in the file after all of this. I'm not sure at the moment what it does, nor is it particularly important from my point of view (the server only needs to worry about the stuff about enemy stats).
