Title: FF7 Dialogue
Post by: RPGillespie on 2005-10-07 22:45:58

Alright, so basically I've been searching for hours for this one guide I read about somewhere or something... Anyways, I want to know how the text is stored into a ff7 level so I can try making my own program that can edit it kind of like Fice's Cosmo... (as a project for AP Computer Science) I think I read somewhere that someone wrote a guide for this, like don't you add a certain value to the normal ASCII or something to decrypt it? I can't remeber is the thing, and I've searched through the Cosmo source, but with no success...

I think what I'm asking is, isn't there an faq for all the ff7 file formats and their structures somewhere..?

you want Halkun's Gears Document then.
basically flevel.LGP is the one you want (i think) and it is compressed with a variation of LZS compression.
open that up and u get all your level files.
these contain backgrounds , camera angles , dialog, monster info etc in sections.
