.DOENTRYName: DOENTRY Type: Subroutine Category: Flight Summary: Dock at the space station, show the ship hangar and work out any mission progression Deep dive: The Constrictor mission The Thargoid Plans mission
JSR DEEOR \ Decrypt the newly loaded code
JSR HALL \ Show the ship hangar LDY #44 \ Wait for 44/50 of a second (0.88 seconds) JSR DELAY LDA TP \ Fetch bits 0 and 1 of TP, and if they are non-zero AND #%00000011 \ (i.e. mission 1 is either in progress or has been BNE EN1 \ completed), skip to EN1 LDA TALLY+1 \ If the high byte of TALLY is zero (so we have a combat BEQ EN4 \ rank below Competent), jump to EN4 as we are not yet \ good enough to qualify for a mission LDA GCNT \ Fetch the galaxy number into A, and if any of bits 1-7 LSR A \ are set (i.e. A > 1), jump to EN4 as mission 1 can BNE EN4 \ only be triggered in the first two galaxies JMP BRIEF \ If we get here, mission 1 hasn't started, we have \ reached a combat rank of Competent, and we are in \ galaxy 0 or 1 (shown in-game as galaxy 1 or 2), so \ it's time to start mission 1 by calling BRIEF .EN1 \ If we get here then mission 1 is either in progress or \ has been completed CMP #%00000011 \ If bits 0 and 1 are not both set, then jump to EN2 BNE EN2 JMP DEBRIEF \ Bits 0 and 1 are both set, so mission 1 is both in \ progress and has been completed, which means we have \ only just completed it, so jump to DEBRIEF to end the \ mission get our reward .EN2 \ Mission 1 has been completed, so now to check for \ mission 2
LDA GCNT \ Fetch the galaxy number into A CMP #2 \ If this is not galaxy 2 (shown in-game as galaxy 3), BNE EN4 \ jump to EN4 as we can only start mission 2 in the \ third galaxy
LDA TP \ Extract bits 0-3 of TP into A AND #%00001111 CMP #%00000010 \ If mission 1 is complete and no longer in progress, BNE EN3 \ and mission 2 is not yet started, then bits 0-3 of TP \ will be %0010, so this jumps to EN3 if this is not the \ case LDA TALLY+1 \ If the high byte of TALLY is < 5 (so we have a combat CMP #5 \ rank that is less than 3/8 of the way from Dangerous BCC EN4 \ to Deadly), jump to EN4 as our rank isn't high enough \ for mission 2
LDA GCNT \ Fetch the galaxy number into A CMP #2 \ If this is not galaxy 2 (shown in-game as galaxy 3), BNE EN4 \ jump to EN4 as we can only start mission 2 in the \ third galaxy
JMP BRIEF2 \ If we get here, mission 1 is complete and no longer in \ progress, mission 2 hasn't started, we have reached a \ combat rank of 3/8 of the way from Dangerous to \ Deadly, and we are in galaxy 2 (shown in-game as \ galaxy 3), so it's time to start mission 2 by calling \ BRIEF2 .EN3 CMP #%00000110 \ If mission 1 is complete and no longer in progress, BNE EN5 \ and mission 2 has started but we have not yet been \ briefed and picked up the plans, then bits 0-3 of TP \ will be %0110, so this jumps to EN5 if this is not the \ case
LDA GCNT \ Fetch the galaxy number into A CMP #2 \ If this is not galaxy 2 (shown in-game as galaxy 3), BNE EN4 \ jump to EN4 as we can only start mission 2 in the \ third galaxy
