Troubleshooting / FINAL FANTASY VII OST (Remastered Edition) ~by Final FanTim~

Well any decent reciever can matrix 5.1 into 7.1. And spdif can only handle 5.1 max. So unless everyone is using hdmi connections or have crazy speaker setups for their computers i think 5.1 would be best.

Graphical errors for now. Not exactly sure why some of them are there. Need to do more investigating. Also if you notice there is a couple glitches above some of the letters in the menu. They seem to be related to the capital S. The shadows were compliments of Hermoor's knowledge of photoshop. As for hand cursors and such bmp would be the preferable format. If someone wants to team up on this let me know. (Imagive if millenia got his hands on these  )

I wonder if there is any way we could remix these into a surround sound type of format. That would be awesome

Thats one of the problems when i redid the numbers. Basically all the art for materia and such is in that file so when i modified it it got all messed up. Thats why im looking for an artist to help me redo them.

I might. It would be a time consuming process though. Just to get what you see requires 10 png's minimum. To add shadows by hand would take a while. Also im not sure if timu is actually making a high res version of the original font. If he is then maybe it would be better to wait for that.

Timu were you able to get those tex files out of the lgp? If not ill upload them somewhere

Bitturn will convert a tex file to a bmp. You can find it on the wiki.

And unfortunately the hand needs to be updated. Once you mess with the text in that file all the colors turn goofy. Look at one of my earlier screenshots for an example.

Cloud is so badass that he could wear a rainbow colored outfit and still be tough

Oh btw if anyone is interested in redoing some of the art for the game that is in the menu's that would be awesome let me know (eg hand for cursor, limit break bars, etc)

You can just grab them from your menu_us.lgp file.

usfont_a_h.tex
usfont_b_h.tex

Im sorry aali. Im new to this stuff and i really have no idea about image formats. If i ask a stupid question just ignore it.

Woot i figured it out. Lots of trial and error but it seems to be working. Have 4 png's for the one tex file. Im assuming these are for the different palettes. Also aali if you see this it seems the png insertion ignores the black = transparent

All in due time my friend. There is still alot of stuff to figure out before i will consider this worthy of a release.

I would also like to figure out the texture replacement. Aali if you could just tell me the byte offset of the begininng of the pixel data is in usfont_a_h.tex that would be a great start for me. Ive been messing with a hex editor for 4 hours now and soon i wont have any hair left lol

Team Avalanche / Re: Menus

There's no tool that can do this yet, but you have to put a special marker at the beginning of the pixel data in the .tex file.

Specifically, the first 3 bytes of the pixel data must be "EXT" followed by a name. This name will be used to find a png file in the textures/ directory, based on the following template: <name>_<palette index>.png

Anyone know where the beginning of the pixel data is? The wiki just says it varies.

Well at the moment im clueless when it comes to hex editing. It all looks greek to me. Bah this sucks

Well i think ive gone as far as I can with this until i get some palettized images going. The main problem is when doing the text in hi res it screws up a bunch of other things like pointers and materia and what not. Even just making the textures bigger and then inserting them back into the lgp screws with the palette even if you dont touch anything else. Might be a photoshop issue, not sure. But as it stands it screws up too much stuff for it to be a useful mod.

Well ultimately I want to get palettized fonts working. Sent a pm to aali to see if he can help me get the png texture replacement thing working. Hex editing files is not something im familiar with.

I think it's good so far. But I really would like to see timu sumisu's magic in the original font.
Maybe we can have the original high-res'ed with no pallete issues.

And I think we should let timu work on his awesome model for the game and leave this to someone who cant model

I agree thats probably the best way to go to make everything look perfect, but i dont know how to modify the tex files to load up the png's.
