Actually, it wouldn't be that hard. Easier than most of that stuff. ::ponders::
How have you made this?
I've been posting just about everything of note I've been fiddling with over in the Tech Forum, so you might want check over there....
I'll summarize here anyways;
Different methods for different stuff. For the individual .p files, like the Guns are just edited in Ultima. MMG-6628 is butchered from Barret's Assault Gun. HMR-2890 is from Vincent's Shotgun. SDR-650 is from the Sniper CR. Since there's no way to create a .p file from scratch, I figured I'd work with what's already there, and as I said in another thread, there are Scaled down versions of all the character's weapons, sans Red and Tifa, in Magic.lgp, which I think are used in conjunction with the "throw" command*. Fortunately, they seem to have been scaled down to the point of looking rather decent when used with the Field sprites
Some of the character sprites I've done (mostly the earlier ones, before I got Ultima working) are just reorganizations of the existing .p files in Char.lgp via HRC file editing.
ex;
"wrong wagon injun"
That started out as a project to make the B1beta and Wagon viewable in Ifalna, which brought up what I think is a big oversight regarding the conversion process' you use that I don't think anyone's really looked into. Then I added two bones, one for each hut, and one for the PC's spinal cannon, and swiveled them into the proper positions in Ifalna.
And pretty much the point I'm at now combines the two above methods; Edited HRCs pointing to edited .p files. It's not always perfect, but given enough fiddle time I can probably get just about anything I wanted created. Aside from the Q-Cart, I don't add any bones to the HRC files, so they'll still work with the existing animations.

It's awkward and sometimes frustrating (Ultima loves throwing Runtime Error 9 or something at me, for example), but I'm not aware of any other options. I've put off a couple of projects for now, in hopes that some new release of the various programs will make some of the more tedious tasks a bit easier (Shameless plug:
Request/Suggestions thread)
*side note: That means it's probably feasible to tweak the Throw command to something more like FF6; cheaper disposable shurikens and the like. Not sure about the actual coding aspect of it, but it should be rather easy to at least replace/create new projectiles for the command.
{edit; Until I have something new to upload, i'll just plug the Rumble. It's a rather large GIF file, but no one's complained yet.
