Today i am happy to announce that FF7tk is now ready to have its first release.


FF7tk WTF is that ???

allow me to explain as some of you may know myself and a few others (vegeta_ss4,eslava) have been working on a toolkit for working with data from ff7. this toolkit will (eventually) cover ALL of the stuff needed to work with ff7 files. (everything from save data  to model info). this toolkit is written in C++ and Requires Qt (but this will make any programs you make cross platform,you can use any lang for your program that is qt supported).its under the GPLv3(so if you use it we want to see your code!) Programmers are encoraged to provide requests for objects, or info about things they already know.

What is currently included.
Currently there are only a few objects that deal mostly with stuff needed for black chocobo (as it is now build using FF7tk). but all the text data returned will be translated for you already (working on how to getting the translations used per class instead of per application , but the strings are done already)

static_data classes included

* FF7Save -class for working with save files
* FF7Item-data class that know all about items (and icons)
* FF7Materia - data class that know all about materias(and icons)
* FF7Location - data class that know all about field location data
* FF7Text - data class for converting text to/from ff7 format to your lang.
* FF7Char - data class that contains info about characters in ff7(and icons)
* SaveIcon - class for decoding psx save icons- Written by Myst6re
Widgets (gui objects) Included:

* ItemPreview - Show item data (only need its id)
* DialogPreivew -show prevew of the ff7 text dialog (or change its colors)
* SlotPreview - Show Slot Preview using Description data (or show psx save info)
* SlotSelect - Dialog for Selecting a Save Slot to view
* MateriaEditor - View/Edit A Selected Materia
* CharEditor - View/Edit a Character(wip)

Where is this going???
as i said currently most of the items are focused on save game stuff. but eventually we are planing to include EVERYTHING needed to provide a High Level toolkit for easy creation of cross platform tool for working with and modifing ff7

Where can i get it?

You can Get it Here

The toolkit includes a small demo program so you can view the widgets. you only need qt to build the included demo program.

Good Idea How can i help?
help us code , provide info on formats, give us your exsisting code so we can port to Qt, etc. these are all ways you (the person already making an ff7 specific app) can help.i would love to see all of qhimm embrace this and have us not duplicate work on these tools ever again.

Vegeta_Ss4:
I think this will write a very important page in the ff7 devel. I'm glad to be part of this so promising project, and you will have me coding side by side as always.

I encourage all the community to help and form part of this project. One of the more promising goal is to been able to dev universal global toolkit that embrace all the scenarios.

Welcome FF7tk Toolkit!

Obesebear:
I like it and thoroughly encourage this.

Dark_Ansem:
I like this and I hope that, for the model editing, you join up with Borde, the author of kimera, in order to improve on the features of that mod :D
maybe this can join as well with the new versions of WallMarket and Proud cloud the author is working on?

sithlord48:
i would love it if those people who know about certain parts can work with us to create a toolkit we can all use.
