Troubleshooting / Re: Getting FF9 Fields Viewer working - FF9 image file extractor necessary?

« on: 2013-05-20 17:04:00 »

First, the executables are command-line programs. You need to execute them from a command window.
To open a command, go to your start menu -> execute -> enter "cmd" and validate.
Then you must go to the folder where your programs are (by navigating inside the command window) ; use the command "cd" for that. For instance, if the program is in your "C:\Users\YourName\Programs\" directory, write the following line (press tab to complete the folders' name) :

cd "C:\Users\YourName\Programs\"

And finally, you can execute the program by entering its name followed by its arguments :
FF9_img_extractor.exe <full path to ff9.img> <path to out dir>
"out dir" is where the files will be extracted.

Second, if it says "you miss dlls", just download those dlls (google it) and put them either in your program's directory or in the directory "C:\Windows\system32\".

I answered in the other topic. The download link was still valid recently.
Zidane's website has troubles. Let's hope they are not permanents...

Haaaaa.
Zidane's website seems down but it wasn't like 2 weeks ago.
I upload back the img_extractor and the converter. It should be a temporary link, though. I'll upload it for a longer time if Zidane_2 doesn't do it.

EDIT : [link removed] Zidane's website is back !

I'm talking about having (for instance) a card menu with more than 100 slots for more than 100 different card types.

I don't get it. Are you saying "we" or "you" in the end?

Creating a whole 10 min game would take a lot of time if someone do it from scratch. But there are workarounds using some already made game engine (rpg creator(s)/starcraft's editor...).

I think the modders here will respond better than myself about how "easily it has been accomplished".

Hi Blankamarant.

As far as I know, it hasn't been tried yet to replace the card images. Zidane_2 made a tool that extracts some images from the game but cannot replace them inside. Plus, I'm not sure cards have the "TIM" data format (the format Zidane_2's tool can extract).

About possibilities, It should be quiet doable to replace images but it'd be really hard to create new cards.

Be sure epsxe is not running when you use Memoria. I guess that may cause the bug.
Or maybe you don't have the rights to open the file (epsxe000.mcr) ? You would need to run Memoria as administrator (right-click on the program should display that option).

Sorry for bumping the thread but I also want to make an enemy editor (as well as other features). Maybe we could share our info if you're still working on it?

I just discovered this forum 2 days ago and it provided me quiet nice informations about chunks and models
However, I have got some knowledge by myself and, even if I don't know how to edit it, I'm pretty sure the AI is coded in the script file from the combat datas (usually the first sub-file in the combat chunk).
