counter is a value from 0 to 65535 (?)
random is a random value from 0 to 255

Each step:
  if on overwolrd map: counter = counter + 192;
  if on dungeon map: counter = counter + 112;
  get new random;
  
  if random < (counter / 256)
    fight occurs;
    counter = 0;

Note: The moogle charm makes the counter value not increasing.
