Do you unpack the files while extracting from the archive?

Do you unpack the files while extracting them from the archive with LGPTools?

Does LGPTools prompts you with a dialog box when extracting the file(s)? It should. How about you read it before clicking any of the buttons and then wondering why it's not working?

You acted like one, so don't be surprised that it's how you have been treated. And no, I'm not talking only about this dialog we're having. You break the rules you agreed to when creating the account by reviving the long-dead topics and insluting other members. If you don't know what I'm talking aobut, read the rules (again - in case you actually read it before) and then browse your posts searching for the ones which were against them.

And not to be (that big of) a douchebag:
 - Older versions of LGPTools didn't unpack the field files, so make sure you're using the latest one
 - If it still doesn't work, use some other tool to unpack it (Highwind beeing the example)

What he's saying is, LZS files are compressed when you extract them. You need to uncompress them before Meteor can do anything to them. When you're finished editing, you need to compress the file again before inserting it. If you try to play the game and the LZS file you messed with is uncompressed, FF7.exe will crash.
