About the .HRC file type...........

Skillster/RedSarg99:
let me elaborate on stage57.dat:
stage 57 IS stage 57 , confused? u will be!
the game (at design level) is split into stages, my proof? open ff7 PSX disc 3, now look for the supernova (!) folder, if i remember theres a file called stage57.dat.
stage57 is the last fight scenes (maybe the boss fight with safer/bizzaro sephiroth, or the final, Final fight with sephiroth?).
thats solid stuff, not 100% confirmed but if you open the exe in a hex viewer and search for stage57.dat youll find it along with supernova data too.
see you all later in the week  :D

Srethron Askvelhtnod:
Ficedula: Thanks for the info. Perhaps that means kage.dat is the shadow data. IIRC, for most of the 3D models it's just a circle. That would probably make for a pretty small file. Good luck with checking it out.The Skillster: Are you saying that the entire game is split up into 57 different stages, or just the battles, or what?

Skillster/RedSarg99:
i havent a clue  :D
but it looks like that it ant be fights (as u pointed there r only 15 or so boss fights).
so im assuming that when you reach a major plot (flash) point, where certain flags/switches r changed in the game engine and u come to a point where u cant return to the previous state b4 the event occured (ie , the first visit to the north cave),
i would call that a new stage.

Srethron Askvelhtnod:
Clone5: I did end up needing your list. Came in quite handy too.The Skillster: I suppose it's possible. Something like that would likely have a great deal to do with the .exe.

Skillster/RedSarg99:
i have a serious feeling that the stage57.dat is the data for the last fight the one with the vocals, dont u think so?
why? coz they had to add the loading for the extra soundfont! this would make sense to just tag on a file. if someone could interperate it OR compare it to the data files inthe battle.lgp to see if my theory is true? then we could find out some more about the battle format?
