I have some file offsets I can share to help for the decomp.

I have accumulated a bunch of data offsets in cartridge data and hope you find this all useful.
It includes codes to test the audio portions of the data offsets.

Hi Benjamin, firstly - thanks for this, I'm happy to get any external contributions towards this project!
I had managed to break out the various 'assets' sections (see here and here, but this will mean I can label them a little better.
Do you have any more information on the game? I was going to look at gameshark codes to try to get a bit more context around what fields do what - but there is a lot of work to be done!
What kind of other information in particular,anything in running memory as well?
I'd like to understand all the different formats used in the game; models, textures, sounds(music), cutscene format, etc etc.
I'd also like to better fill out the 'game object' struct - i.e. that contains conkers x, y, z position, health, velocity.. I got some info from ScriptHawk, but the struct contains perhaps 200 fields, and I have labels for about 8 of them!
I messed around with some stuff before involving debug stuff,and I have some names of a handful of things with the offsets for them,but I can't get to that text file until after I sleep since its 3:30AM for me currently as of this post and its on my desktop while I am on a laptop about to go to bed.
There's more stuff that can be looked up,but I can't promise that I will be able to actually find it.
Edit:
That list is called movement_move apparently,there is another chunk of stuff I have no idea how to find since it doesn't directly link to known addresses in debug.
Got the other data for stuff like Conker's drunken state and the other things,also including my own additions.
Edit: I derped and forgot to update the offset for the pointer,uploaded the changed text file.

This is great - how did you figure them out? are they displayed in the debug build or?
I used the debug version since retail only has a couple things in the crash debugger with everything else stripped out,and I found the pointer again due to already knowing about it from a code I made along with a weapon modifier code.
I wasn't sure if I should make a new issue for this, but I'm so happy to see that Conker is finally getting decompiled! I would love to contribute in some way if I can. I'm not experienced in Ubuntu or Docker, but if I must learn them for this - I just might... If it helps, I have hex edited files for some old DOS games and have tinkered with Conker's hex code in the past.

There's plenty that can be done without having to touch any of the code. The struct names from @retrobenny are an example of this - the more that is found out about the inner workings of the game, the easier it is to make sense of the code.
I created a non-exhaustive list of ways people can contribute to the project, if you are keen to help, then you can find me on Discord (mkst#4741).
I noticed that. Sounds good. I just sent a friend request on Discord.
