Kranmer:
well the first thing you are possibly doing wrong is that you are trying to do it on the wrong directory, the DB extractor only works on folders 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (the folders extracted by FF9.IMG) my source for this information is the original post here

I have tried using the tool before and i also still had problems (but this could have been just me) but it still couldn't find the files so i had to rename the files to have extensions (so i renamed 0 to 0.db and so on).
Out of curiosity what is it you are planning to do with FF9 ?

Thanks for the advise. I was able to finally extract the file from the Database files. But considering that they were either .tim, .model or .raw it seemed pointless to try and continue using Zidane_2s extracting files. I had lost my way for a little bit trying to find a way to open the files and that it when I found a program that can extract open and even export the Database files. The program is called Noesis and it is great when needing to not spend hours upon hours trying to figure out how to either extract or open the Database files. It can even extract the files straight from the FF9.IMG file. But I am a little bit stumped on one thing. Where do I find the Town map data? Like Lidblum and New Alexandria? I do not mean the world map but the area when you leave the World map and enter a city or town (maybe even a cave). Does anyone know where to find these files? What Directory of the extract Databases are they under?
Thanks
PS: To kranmer....I plan on greatly improving the quality of the models. The reason....well...that is a secret I intend to keep until a later time and date.
Kranmer:
Nice, sounds like a interesting project, How are you planning to put the files back into the game or is this also a secret part of your project ?
well the folders for FF9 are (this info was taken from Zerox)
0 - Status/Menu/Battle/... -Text and random stuff.
1 - Misc Images (Logos, Fonts, World 'mini' Map images, etc).
2 - Dialog Text
3 - Map models (Mini-zidane, airships, save point moogle, tent...) and, IIRC, the map texture.
4 - Field models
5 - Monster Data (Part I, stats, names, etc).
6 - Location Data (Dungeon, Cities, etc).
7 - Monster Data (Part II, 3d models)
8 - Weapon Data (including models)
9 - Samplebanks and Sequencer Data (ie music).
10 - party members Data (including models)
11 - Sound effects
12 - World Map Data.
13 - Special effects (magic, summons...)
So the folder you are after is folder 4, hope this helps, also if you want to view the backgrounds i know there is a tool for doing so, when i get back later i will dig it out for you if you want (i am about to go out right now), or you could try searching this forum since i did get it from here (i can't remember who made it though, possibly zidane_2)

What do you mean by "backgrounds"? I am not really sure what you mean by that? And if you do still have the program file(s) then it would be awesome if you could please post them for my to download.
Thanks
Kranmer:
when i said background i mean like when you are in the "Field" (probably a poor choice of words on my part), anyway to view the "Field" (such as towns etc) you can use the program found here (by zidane_2)
http://zidane_games.webhost.ru/tilemap_0.6.rar
use that on the files in folder 4 and it will show the field models
