- the variable to choose, it has to be not used by the game

Not a problem, in var manager (in MR), you can search the variables already used.

General Discussion / Trap - a mysterious field background

« on: 2010-04-19 09:56:02 »

For some weeks, I dig Final Fantasy VII jp in search of novelty. And I found the TRAP background. It is partially removed, but there is a file "TRAP.MIM"!

Unfortunately, TRAP.DAT is invalid, it is necessary to replace the tiles manually. I just started:

What happens when the value of blending2 is 3? I have not seen any difference with blending2=1, but I think there is one.

We can not do everything right with this editor, but at least you can edit the scripts. With Meteor you can also modify the walkmesh. It remains to load the 3D model of a soldier at all screens and it all (I think)!

Sure, this would be more than doable with Meteor.

Or its alternative (Makou Reactor) which is partially in French unfortunately.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Background transparency

« on: 2010-04-16 22:57:22 »

Hello ! I found a difference between the PC version and the PS version, it's about four screens (kuro7, cosmo2, jtempl and trnad_1). In each sprites, one word coding for transparency can take four values: 0, 1, 2 or 3. This word is at offset 32 in PC sprites, and in "SpriteTP_Blend" (or Section 3) for the PS version:

On PC version

Code: [Select]

struct spriteInfos {
	uint16 zz0; //Always 0
	int16 destX;
	int16 destY;
	uint16 zz1; //Inused
	uint16 zz2; //Inused
	uint16 srcX_1;
	uint16 srcY_1;
	uint16 srcX_2;
	uint16 srcY_2;
	uint16 width; //Inused: 16,32 or invalid value
	uint16 height; //Inused: 16,32 or invalid value
	uint16 paletteID;
	uint16 ID; //Maybe used for Z value
	uint8 parameter;
	uint8 state; //flag
	uint8 blending; //Boolean
	uint8 zz3; //Boolean
	uint16 blendingType; <----- HERE
	uint16 pageID1;
	uint16 pageID2; //If pageID2 > 0, use srcX_2 and srcY_2
	uint16 deph;
	uint32 Z;
	uint32 X; //Proportionnal to srcXs
	uint32 Y; //Proportionnal to srcYs
	uint16 zz4; //Always 0
};

On PS version (based on Cyb page)

Code: [Select]

struct spritePageInfos{
	unsigned page_x:4; // LSB
	unsigned page_y:1;
	unsigned blendingType:2; <----- HERE
	unsigned deph:2;
	unsigned ZZ:7; // MSB
};

In the four screens, value of blendingType word is sometimes 2. In this case, there is no transparency by addition...

0: average ((colorImg+colorNew)/2)
1: additive blending (colorImg+colorNew)
2: subtractive blending (colorNew-colorImg)
3: 25% additive blending (colorImg+0.25*colorNew) [colne_3 -tv-|fship_5 -water-|min71 -tv-|nmkin_1 -buttons-|prisila -lamp-|ujunon4 & 5 -shine ocean-]

On PC, "blendingType=2" is always transparency by addition, but not on PS (left) :

Someone knows how to use blendingType?

Hey this is pretty damn sweet! thanks! Any chance at all of having psx version added to it?

You can edit flevel.lgp archive (ff7 PC) or .DAT files (ff7 PS). To open a DAT file, you must go to "File" > "Open FIELD dir...".

Quote from: titeguy3 on 2010-04-10 02:58:12

Cool! If you don't already have a feature like this, it'd be neat if you could implement a method of creating "patch" files that could enable one to change certain entries automatically upon applying the way that the .PrC and .WM files work for Proud Clod and Wallmarket, respectively. This would enable one to share dialogue mods without having to distribute the entire flevel.lgp file.

It is possible to export/import a file from the lgp, but that's all.

FF7 Tools / [PSX/PC] Field Editor - Makou Reactor (2.1.0)

« on: 2010-04-09 22:36:36 »

Hi all! Here is my best program: Makou Reactor!
It allows you to edit ff7 field map easily (scripts, texts, walkmesh, encounters, musics and models used...).
You don't need to be a programmer to modify the story of the game!

Just open a flevel.lgp archive (or the ISO of the PlayStation game) and start exploring!

Download Makou Reactor now!

(Use Deling for Final Fantasy VIII)

Known bugs (v1.7.1)

Crash on start: maybe your graphic driver is not correctly installed. Workaround: modify/create the file Makou_Reactor.ini and add the line "OpenGL=false", this will disable field model and walkmesh viewers.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Re: Would it be possible to convert a PSN version Save...to a PC Save for FF7 or FF8

« on: 2010-01-22 12:39:14 »

It's possible to convert PSN save to MCR file.
PSN save = header (128 bytes) + standard MCR format (8192*16 bytes)
So just remove the header and use PSXMemtool to convert a save from the MCR to PC Version.

VMP2MCR converter

Convert MCR to PSN save is difficult.

Mod edit: Black chocobo is now able to do this.
