Looking for PSX FF7 Field animations

[lasyan3]

Hello guys,
I'm working on the field animations opcodes (ANIMx and so on) and it seems that each field file has its own list of "allowed" animations for each entity loaded. But I could not find where exactly this information is (I'm not even sure it is contained in the DAT file).
I don't look for the animations for themselves, but for the information that indicates which animations can be used in a field file. Indeed, when I use an ANIM opcode and try different values, it seems that I can only use the animations that the character is using during "official gaming" (for example, in the screen when you first meet aerith, the cloud animations available are only the "turn", "think", "walk" and "run" ones).

Does anyone have any clue about where this information could be ?
Thanks.

Edit :
I have found this topic but it's different than what is in qhimmwiki (no information about this "HRC loader" thing).

Edit2 :

Each BCX contains only 3 animation for character (stand walk and run). BSX contains additional animation used in field.

Ok so let's investigate about those BSX...

On field you can only use animation from BCX and BSX files. Animation opcode starts animation by index. It's always local.
For character models (cloud aeris and others) there are BCX files that has models and 3 animation (stand walk and run). All other models has their animation in BSX files.
By the way - there are number of animations in DAT file in 7 part of this file.

Code: [Select]

// 7 block in dat
+00 [][] size
+02 [][] number of models
// model data
+00 [] palette in global texture
+01 [] number of bones
+02 [] number of model parts
+03 [] number of animation
+04 [] we set model number (from now on used as model id) here or 0xff if model not enabled.
+05 [] enabled model or not.
+06 [] global model loaded
+07 [] global model

Sorry for double post but I can't delete it ><

Thanks Akari, I will study those files and tell if I have others questions !

Damned, I don't get it 
I decompressed MD1_1.BSX and found some data you mention but not everything, I think I got it until the model environment settings (if eventually you could take a lookt at this ) :

Thanks Micky, your tool is exactly what I needed !

Hi again, I finally managed to do what I wanted, and I found out something new inside the DAT files of the field folder : the last section of the file contains informations about the models :
[Edit : nevermind, I should read entire topics before posting :p]
When adding animations or models inside BSX files, one must also update this information, or else he will not be able to use it.

I'd like to add this information inside the wiki, but it seems it's not possible to create an account...

I think you've got to PM Qhimm or Halkun.
Of course, you could just post it here, so people who search the forum find it.

[halkun]

Yes, PM me with email user name and password. And ill add you

[halkun]

Double-post with important info - You have been added lasyan, in case you didn't get my PM.
