scene.bin battle formation backgrounds

[Lord_Skylark]

For each of the 4 battle formations in each of the 256 sections of Scene.bin, which byte in each formation determines which background is called up during the battle and does anyone have a list of which bytes are which backgrounds?

Thanks,

Attacked from behind

Surrounded

Surrounding the enemy

Dunno if thats relevant, but it might be =)

I mean like Battle backgrounds for each of the 4 formations in each of the 256 battle sections in scene.bin

Like...Shin-Ra Building, Motor Ball Highway, Beach Shore, Snow Fields...

Thanks,
