Packed by myst6re.
FFNx uses the OpenPSF project to play PSF files.
Thanks to Neil Corlett for in_psf.dll and PSF files.
Thanks to Christopher Snowhill for its implementation of foo_psf.
concert-* tracks were created and converted to minipsf by myst6re from Neil Corlett PSFs.

Notable improvements (thanks to FFNx)

  • A music is now paused before a battle (or a Triple Triad card game) and resumed after to the right time
  • Music pause/resume is also implemented in field maps
  • Music intro is skipped the second time
  • Better volume changes

Known issues

  • [Fixed in FFNx 1.11.x] The intro of the landing is playing on GGU battle
  • [Fixed in FFNx 1.11.x] Horizon Concert does not work properly, remove "concert-" prefix from "concert-*.minipsf" files to fix this
  • [Fixed in FFNx 1.9.x] Volume changes and music stops are sometimes a little abrupt, track the issue here
  • [Fixed in FFNx 1.9.x] FFNx 1.8.x have performances issues when external_music is on
  • FFNx 1.7.2 currently crashes when use_external_music is enabled in FF8. Use FFNx 1.8+ instead.
  • [only FFNx 1.7.x] The Landing always starts with the intro. Workaround: replace psf/joriku2.minipsf by a OGG file
  • [only FFNx 1.7.x] Instruments in the Horizon concert are currently not replaced. Native Midis will be used for all possible combination
  • [only FFNx 1.7.x] Resuming music after battle can take few seconds sometimes

Changelog

  • v1.5: Removing files for FFNx 1.7.x, adding F.H. concert files, adding music skip configuration
  • v1.4: Adding required file for FFNx 1.8.x+.
  • v1.3: Renaming gargade.minipsf (Galbadia Garden University, with intro) to gargarde.minipsf.
  • v1.2: Easier installation. Adding french README.
  • v1.1: Official release
  • v1.0: Beta release

Alternatives

  • Roses And Wine: Original Music (OGG format). The best alternative so far, but you need to download a bigger archive
  • PlayStation Music Mod from Biggs: MIDIs recreated more closely to the original sound

FFNx uses the OpenPSF project to play PSF files.
Thanks to Neil Corlett for in_psf.dll and PSF files.
Thanks to Christopher Snowhill for its implementation of foo_psf.
comical, cintro, mogu, tb and wind PSF files were generated by myst6re using Makou Reactor 1.8.

Notable improvements (aka changes I made to FFNx)

  • On the original PC version, sometimes the game lost the music lock condition. This means that you can hear the music stop and restart later. But not anymore! (Examples: Reno first appearance; after the battle against Rufus; after the movie with nibelheim moutains, when Cloud enters the Reactor).
  • A music is now paused before a battle and resumed after to the right time
  • A music is now paused before the "good night" music, and resumed after to the right time

I added few missing files to the PSF collection made by Neil Corlett:
  • comical: unused (and unreleased!) music found in a deleted map of the Honey Bee Inn
  • cintro: Sephiroth intro only, looped for the heavy atmosphere in Nibelheim Manor
  • mogu: Moggle victory (yeah!), the introduction of the Highwind theme
  • tb: Main theme alternative (Cloud and Tifa flashback in the lifestream)
  • wind: Ambient wind (used by FFNx to replace wind.wav)

Known issues

  • Resuming music after battle can take few seconds sometimes (with FFNx 1.7.x only)

Changelog

  • v1.3.1: Renaming mural.minipsf to mura1.minipsf
  • v1.3: Dropping support for FFNx 1.7.x (v1.2 will be still available). Updating README for FFNx 1.8.x+.
  • v1.2: Adding required files for FFNx 1.8.x+.
  • v1.1: Easier installation. Adding a README in french.
  • v1.0.1: directory name change (from music/vgmstream to music/psf)
  • v1.0: initial release

Alternatives

  • Anxious Heart / The mod (Mirror): Original Music (OGG format). The best alternative so far, but you need to download a bigger archive
  • FF7Music: Old alternative, by Ficedula, kept for posterity. This archive is already configured correctly for the original game, you need more configuration with the Aali's OpenGL driver, and this is not compatible with FFNx.
  • SXG2Ogg audio mod: MIDI XG Sound using SXG2006LE softsynth
  • Deet's XG Pack: MIDI XG Sound using Yamaha S-YXG50 softsynth

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Worldmap encounters and scripts
« on: 2020-01-07 11:13:54 »
I completed the wiki page about worldmap encounters: http://wiki.ffrtt.ru/index.php?title=FF8/WorldMap_wmsetxx
To summary my changes, I identified rates sections and "after Lunar Cry" special encounters.

Encounters after Lunar Cry (Sections 5 & 6) seems not linked to Section 1 or another section, I guess this is hardcoded somewhere.

By the way I found occurrences of UFO, PuPu and scripted Thrustaevis battle in section 37, I think this section contains scripts. And its format looks like sections 8, 10 and 12.
I haven't found Pampa Sr battle.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / FF8 Remaster new compression algorithm
« on: 2019-09-03 22:01:15 »
Hi, file formats in FF8 Remaster have changed a little. First step: open *.zzz archives wich contains data and movies.
For that I already coded a tool http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19206.0

Next step, try to open field.fs/fl/fi with Deling. Unfortunately it does not work, because now files are compressed.
Example: bccent12.fl should contains a list of filenames, like this:

Code: [Select]
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.inf
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.mim
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.map
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.id
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.msd
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.ca
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.jsm
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.mrt
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.rat
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.pmd
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\bccent12.pmp
C:\ff8\Data\fre\FIELD\mapdata\bc\bccent12\chara.one

On remastered version:



Filenames are still present, but several times, it seems that the file is now with multiple sections (starting with the size of the section). And each section is compressed.
The compression format always start with the magic code 4ZL_, followed by an unknown 32-bit integer, and followed by compressed data.

Is someone know about this 4ZL format?

FF8 Tools / [PC Remaster] ZZZ extractor - qt-zzz (0.1.0)
« on: 2019-09-03 20:42:56 »
Hello, I looked at FF8 Remaster files today, and it looks like all data is packed in strange *.zzz archives.

Okay, Deling can't open that, it's time to be back!

I wrote a tiny tool to extract/pack files from theses archives. This is the first step to make the game moddable again.

Here it is: https://github.com/myst6re/qt-zzz

FF7 Tools / [PC] kernel2 compressor - FF7's kernel2 compressor using black magic
« on: 2016-06-26 17:58:15 »
When we worked on the french retranslation project, we were annoyed about the kernel2 size limitation. After I detroyed the file format with a hammer, every texts have been inserted successfully in the file.

What I share you today is a stand-alone program that reproduce my magical compression. The file is always readable by the game after changes (except if you exceed size limitation), but few kernel editors may have troubles after that.

Download link: https://github.com/myst6re/kernel2_compressor/releases

Note: there is a console version in addition to the GUI version, let me know if you have a trouble to use it.

Releases / [FF7PC-98/Steam/PSX-FR-US] Néo-Midgar - French Retranslation Project
« on: 2016-06-12 21:40:46 »
Néo-Midgar is a Final Fantasy VII retranslation project in French, whose started on 30 January 2008. After six years of hard work, Acro, the creator of this project, managed with his team to produce the patch that will make you rediscover this masterpiece from a completely different angle.



The project is completely finished, it is a simple installer that will patch your game; it works on every PC versions and on the french PS version.

The installer is available for free on the official website (in french). It is also possible to pay us a cup of coffee with a donation here.

I was one of the contributors of this project, mainly as the programmer of the installer. It is time to post it here in the Qhimm forum.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / [FF8] Monster stats and level formulas
« on: 2016-04-14 20:28:28 »
Hello everyone! I need your help this time: In dat files, monster stats are represented by 4 numbers, which are used in an equation with monster level. Does anyone know the right equation for each monster attribute?

What we know (from Ifrit editor):

Code: [Select]
HP = Math.floor(number_0 * level * level / 20) + number_1 * level + number_2
EXP = number_0 * (5 * (level - level_party_avg)/level_party_avg + 4))
EXP_LAST = Math.floor(number_1 * (5 * (level - level_party_last)/level_party_last + 4))
# If the result > 255, STR = 255
STR = level * number_0 / 10 + level / number_1 - level / number_3 + number_2) / 4
MAG = Math.floor(level * number_0) + Math.floor(level/number_1) - Math.floor(Math.floor(Math.floor(level*level/2)/number_2)/4))
VIT = level * number_0 + Math.floor(level/number_1) + number_2 - Math.floor(level/number_3)
SPR = level * number_0 + Math.floor(level/number_1) + number_2 - Math.floor(level/number_3)
SPD = level * number_0 + Math.floor(level/number_1) + number_2 - Math.floor(level/number_3)
EVA = level * number_0 + Math.floor(level/number_1) + number_2 - Math.floor(level/number_3)

I think HP and EXP are good. For the rest...

Misc. Tools / [FF7/FF8/Squaresoft Games] texture conversion - Vincent Tim (1.2.1)
« on: 2014-07-27 16:10:07 »
So like qt-lzs, I publish my own tool to work with tim and tex formats.

Download on GitHub

The main purpose of this command-line tool is to export and reimport a texture image to be able to modify this texture with an image editor.
But it is also possible to convert tim <=> tex, and to search and extract tim files from a file.

Misc. Tools / [FF7/FF8/Squaresoft Games] lzs command line tool - qt-lzs (1.3)
« on: 2014-06-29 17:24:59 »
For a long time I used homemade tools that I will now share. The first one, qt-lzs, is a simple command-line tool to compress/uncompress lzs files.
My implementation is based on Haruhiko Okumura code, which is really fast. But it is also not designed for large files.

I provide the source code on GitHub, and I hope that some people will help.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / The music bug on FF7 PC
« on: 2012-09-11 20:46:09 »
Some time ago, I found bugs in the field data, in the music section. Some of you have mentioned that some fields don't load the right music on the PC version of Final Fantasy VII. That's true!

In fact, some fields have their first AKAO broken, here is the list:
  • sinin3
  • sininb1
  • junair
  • junone6
  • blue_1

But if we look closer, some other fields are buggy, but differently: their first AKAO is OK, except the "Music ID" which has a strange value, always the same (=42752).
Here is the list:
  • sininb1
  • sininb2
  • junair2
  • junone7
  • blue_2

Even more disturbing, the second list follows the first: sininb1 is just after sinin3, junair2 is just after junair1, ...

One last thing: this bug is still present in the rerelease version!
I am ready to create a patch... maybe :P

Releases / [FF8PC] Restore the debug room (2013-03-11)
« on: 2012-07-19 15:06:57 »
On Final Fantasy VIII PC, the field called start is broken. I rebuilt this field from the PlayStation version, here is how to integrate it in the game:



  • Download this archive (other mirror)
  • Open the "start.fl" file (in the zipped archive) with a text editor to adjust the file language (see this post)
  • Open "Path\to\your\Final Fantasy VIII\Data\field.fs" with Deling
  • Go to "Import/Export" tab
  • Go to "c:\ff8\data\eng\field\mapdata\st\" path
  • Replace start.fi, start.fl and start.fs by my files in the zipped archive

Remarks:
  • FF8 must be completely installed
  • Create a backup of your field archive (field.fs, field.fi and field.fl) before the operation!
  • With Deling, you can replace files one by one, or delete the three files together, then add my files

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Background transparency

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?

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!

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.
