I have a little question about battle backgrounds from FFVII.
The first block contains some unknown info, the second block are the platform where characters stand, 6 - number of blocks-1 - are surrounding items, the last block are the textures.
I have just one question. What are the 3-5 blocks. They all are the same. And contains mech that are far away from the others. What is it, did someone knows?

I myself have no idea what are you talking about, but try looking here into Gears document: http://the-afterm.ath.cx/gears/ if it will be online ;)

First of all, my documentation and viewer is here (http://forums.qhimm.com/viewtopic.php?t=3152). Last time I checked it wasn't part of gears, yet.
I don't think the sections have a special meaning, except that the first one is used for the players to stand on and switched off/moved for some spells. They are probably just clipped as a block if they are outside the viewing volume.
(By the way, did you make any progress with Xenogears?)

My version of GEARS already has it (without source code of course). I use your algoritm in my viewer. I try to understand ways to work with 3d field formats before getting in Xenogears field files. I put it aside for time being and return to it after I finish with FFTactics field formats.

Perhaps you are right, although I don't think Square leaves in the file something that are not used at all. I'll look more closely to it.

I need one or two weeks more before I can return to work on Xenogears (I'm working on new version of my website (http://rpgames.ru) and FFT)
