ZAPD extraction XML reference
This document aims to be a small reference of how to create a compatible xml file for ZAPD.
Table of contents
Basic XML
An example of an object xml:
<Root>
<File Name="object_jj" Segment="6">
<Animation Name="gJabuJabuAnim" Offset="0x1F4C"/>
<Skeleton Name="gJabuJabuSkel" Type="Flex" LimbType="Standard" Offset="0xB9A8"/>
<!-- Jabu Jabu eye textures -->
<Texture Name="gJabuJabuEyeOpenTex" OutName="jabu_jabu_eye_open" Format="rgba16" Width="16" Height="32" Offset="0x7698"/>
<Texture Name="gJabuJabuEyeHalfTex" OutName="jabu_jabu_eye_half" Format="rgba16" Width="16" Height="32" Offset="0x7A98"/>
<Texture Name="gJabuJabuEyeClosedTex" OutName="jabu_jabu_eye_closed" Format="rgba16" Width="16" Height="32" Offset="0x7E98"/>
<Collision Name="gJabuJabu1Col" Offset="0x0A1C"/>
<Collision Name="gJabuJabu2Col" Offset="0x1830"/>
<Collision Name="gJabuJabu3Col" Offset="0xBA8C"/>
</File>
</Root>
Every xml must have a <Root>
tag. It must have at least one <File>
child.
Resources types
The following is a list of the resources/tags supported by ZAPD, and the attributes needed by each one.
For most resources inside a <File>
tag you should also set an Offset
attribute. This is the offset (within the file) of the resource you are exporting. The Offset
attribute is expected to be in hexadecimal, for example Offset="0x41F0"
.
It's worth noting that every tag expects a Name="gNameOfTheAsset"
. This is will be the name of the extracted variable in the output C code. Every asset must be prefixed with g
and the suffix should represent the type of the variable.
Every tag can accept a Static
attribute to specify if the asset should be marked as static
or not.
There are 3 valid values (defaults to Global
):
Global
: Mark static if the flag--static
was used.On
: Override the global config and always mark asstatic
.Off
: Override the global config and don't mark asstatic
.
This table summarizes if the asset will be marked static
(✅) or not (❌)

File
- Example of this tag:
<File Name="object_gi_fire" Segment="6">
-
Attributes:
Name
: Required. The name of the file inbaserom/
which will be extracted.OutName
: Optional. The output name of the generated C source file. Defaults to the value passed toName
.Segment
: Optional. This is the segment number of the current file. Expects a decimal number between 0 and 15 inclusive, usually 6 if it is an object. If not specified, the file will use VRAM instead of segmented addresses.BaseAddress
: Optional. RAM address of the file. Expects a hex number (with0x
prefix). Default value:0
.RangeStart
: Optional. File offset where the extraction will begin. Hex. Default value:0x000000000
.RangeEnd
: Optional. File offset where the extraction will end. Hex. Default value:0xFFFFFFFF
.Game
: Optional. Valid values:OOT
,MM
,SW97
andOOTSW97
. Default value:OOT
.
ExternalFile
Allows ZAPD to map segmented addresses to variables declared in other files by using its XML.
It is useful for objects that use variables from gameplay_keep
, gameplay_dangeon_keep
, gameplay_field_keep
, etc.
This tag can be used in the global config.xml
file.
- Example of this tag:
<ExternalFile XmlPath="objects/gameplay_keep.xml" OutPath="objects/gameplay_keep/"/>
-
Attributes:
XmlPath
: Required. The path of the XML, relative to the value set byExternalXMLFolder
in the configuration file.OutPath
: Required. The path were the header for the corresponding external file is. It is used to#include
it in the generated.c
file.
Texture
Textures are extracted as .png
files.
- Example:
<Texture Name="gCraterSmokeConeTex" OutName="crater_smoke_cone" Format="ia8" Width="32" Height="32" Offset="0xC30"/>
Will be defined as:
u64 gCraterSmokeConeTex[] = {
#include "assets/objects/object_spot17_obj/crater_smoke_cone.ia8.inc.c"
};
-
Attributes:
Name
: Required. Suxffixed byTex
, unless it is a palette, in that case it is suffixed byTLUT
.OutName
: Required. The filename of the extracted.png
file.Format
: Required. The format of the image. Valid values:rgba32
,rgba16
,i4
,i8
,ia4
,ia8
,ia16
,ci4
andci8
.Width
: Required. Width in pixels of the image.Height
: Required. Height in pixels of the image.TlutOffset
: Optional. Specifies the tlut's offset used by this texture. This attribute is only valid ifFormat
is eitherci4
orci8
, otherwise an exception would be thrown.
The following is a list of the texture formats the Nintendo 64 supports, with their gfxdis names and ZAPD format names.
Format name | Typing in gsDPLoadTextureBlock |
"Format" in xml |
---|---|---|
4-bit intensity (I) | G_IM_FMT_I, G_IM_SIZ_4b |
i4 |
4-bit intensity with alpha (I/A) (3/1) | G_IM_FMT_IA, G_IM_SIZ_4b |
ia4 |
4-bit color index (CI) | G_IM_FMT_CI, G_IM_SIZ_4b |
ci4 |
8-bit I | G_IM_FMT_I, G_IM_SIZ_8b |
i8 |
8-bit IA (4/4) | G_IM_FMT_IA, G_IM_SIZ_8b |
ia8 |
8-bit CI | G_IM_FMT_CI, G_IM_SIZ_8b |
ci8 |
16-bit red, green, blue, alpha (RGBA) (5/5/5/1) | G_IM_FMT_RGBA, G_IM_SIZ_16b |
rgba16 |
16-bit IA (8/8) | G_IM_FMT_IA, G_IM_SIZ_16b |

(not used) |
32-bit RGBA (8/8/8/8) | G_IM_FMT_RGBA, G_IM_SIZ_32b |
rgba32 |
If you want to know more about this formats, you can check gsDPLoadTextureBlock
for most formats, or gDPLoadTextureBlock_4b
for the 4-bit formats.
Background
- Example:
<Background Name="gGoronShopBackground" OutName="goron_shop_background" Offset="0x9D0"/>
-
Attributes:
Name
: Required. Suxffixed byBackground
.OutName
: Required. The filename of the extracted.jpg
file.
※ Explicit use of this tag isn't often necesary because it would probably be extracted automatically by another extracted element. You can use this to name them if you don't like the autogenerated name.
Blob
Blob are binary data that will be extracted as .bin
files.
- Example:
<Blob Name="gFireTempleBlob_00CCC0" Size="0x10E" Offset="0xCCC0"/>
Will be defined as:
u8 gFireTempleBlob_00CCC0[] = {
#include "assets/objects/object_hidan_objects/gFireTempleBlob_00CCC0.bin.inc.c"
};
-
Attributes:

: Required. Suxffixed byBlob
.Size
: Required. Amount of bytes to extract. Hex.
※ We usually use blobs when we can't figure out the content's type of chunk of data.
DList
A.k.a. Display list, or Gfx.
- Example:
<DList Name="gGiGreenRupeeInnerColorDL" Offset="0x04A0"/>
-
Attributes:
Name
: Required. Suxffixed byDL
.
TextureAnimation
A data type exclusive to Majora's Mask, that has scrolling, color changing, and texture changing capabilities. Declaring the main array will generate everything else; textures for the TextureCycle type must be declared manually in the XML to use symbols. (If it does reference any undeclared textures, ZAPD will warn and give the their offsets.)
<TextureAnimation Name="gRosaSistersTexAnim" Offset="0xD768"/>
-
Attributes:
Name
: Required. Suxffixed byTexAnim
.
Scene and Room
Scene
s and Room
s are a bit special, because Room
s usually needs assets declared in their respective Scene
(which is in a different file), so they need to be extracted together.
To accomplish this, the scene and each of their rooms must be declared in the same XML.
- Example:
<Root>
<File Name="spot12_scene" Segment="2">
<Cutscene Name="gSpot12Cs_006490" Offset="0x6490"/>
<Scene Name="spot12_scene" Offset="0x0"/>
</File>
<File Name="spot12_room_0" Segment="3">
<Room Name="spot12_room_0" Offset="0x0"/>
</File>
<File Name="spot12_room_1" Segment="3">
<Room Name="spot12_room_1" Offset="0x0"/>
</File>
</Root>
-
Attributes:
HackMode
: Optional. This is a simple non-hardcoded way to handle some edge cases. Valid values:syotes_room
.
AltHeader
Like Scene
s and Room
s, AltHeader
s is special too. It should always be declared in the same File
as a Scene
