hay, how do i tell which files are for which model?

[Almighty_gir]

im trying to "up the graphics" of FF7, its a huge project im working on, gonna be doing everything from textures to effects. might even change the engine in the end, its early days yet.

but more importantly, i am amodeler and ive been using your tools, ive managed to get into the battle.lgp file, but now how do i know which model is which? i wanted to start on cloud or sephiroth. and using the leviathon tool to view models is ok..but it doesnt list which code the file is...

any help?

edit: also, ive noticed that the models have the worst textures ever...but i think it might be down to vertext painting. am i right?

Well i think that authors tried to avoid using textures as far as they could. Most work was done by vertex-colours.

here is list: http://mirex.mypage.sk/FILES/monsters.txt

wow thanks man, very helpful

is it possible to apply a texture to it though? i mean, most models i could probably make slightly higher poly and put them in-game, but i hate vertex colouring.
i dont know anything about coding so im not sure if its possible to apply textrures...

and can i post my works in progress here?

Of course

If the battle files have some sort of resource file in their structure, than yes. For the field models this is ridiculously easy, but I have no idea if it's possible with battle models--I've barely worked with them.

...which is probably why you haven't seen anyone else do this, either.

it should be possible, battle models use textures too ... but as far as i know in meantime nobody can save FF7 files to make them work in FF7...

maybe you can work on that next

Maybe ... but not in near future
