Seems, complex? Or maybe is it just staring me right in the face and I cannot see it?

The project I'm doing has now evolved quite alot, I've  got 4 other members working on it with me. Anyway, I'm having difficulties understanding how x/y locations work. I can see the basic concept that an x/y defines the point of location, but the axis puzzles me, does it rotate based on how the map has been drawn?

The more troublesome part is the so-called 'floor tiles'. After a hell of alot of packet logging I've realized that the initial 'tile set' sent is of a variable nature, and that each X/Y comes in increments of 8. I've drawn up graphs and now understand the comment 'is usually sent 4 at a time', the x/y's together create a grid of 4 'tiles'(?) and the center x/y is sent twice?

Could someone possibly give me a bit more information on how the game's map and x/y system works? And (possibly) 0x03's precise format, and how the seed is generated.

Thanks! :)
