I look forward to see what you guys cook up!
Hey, so does that mean they've released their app yet so that I can rip them out myself? I'd really like to dig around these models and learn from them.
Alrighty, a download link to the tool and all of the information you need to get going is here:

Unless there are terrible bugs with the tool, I'm stick-a-fork-in-it-done with this format.I don't intend to go find the bone orientations/animations, although if anyone else ever does, I'll probably go ahead and add support for them to my tool. Currently the exported bones are generated based on the weighting data, and since they do have the original hierarchy, they seem to be quite sufficient for posing the models.
Also, my tool does preview, but it's very barebones functionality. It's mainly intended to be a powerful exporter. If you just want to look at the game content, you should probably stick to koral's tool.
Like all there data and will be just like they were when we compress them back to lzs? Also i noticed the weapons are in the middle of the model any chance of us ever been able to edit them? Thanks for this.
Hi guys,
Everytime I fight ultimate weapon above the cosmo canyon mountain, he flys away first time and then when i crash into him the 2nd time he stays. My problem is I keep fighting him and he doesn't die for so long. He is out of mp and I am just sitting there wacking him for a good like 20 - 30 minutes and hes still not dead lol. Is this a bug for the pc version? or does he just have a lot of health? Cid does like 4k dmg, vincent does like 1k dmg and cloud does like 1k dmg with melee and they say he has 100,000 health. So just wondering if the ultimate weapon is bugged for some people.
Yeah, I can't see the model converting working completely, so custom models are not a possibility just yet.
Here's the problem:
LZS -> FF7 3D -> Generic 3D (for editing) -> FF7 3D -> LZS
This is great!
You guys are officially the first successful PSX-FF7-Modders!
Did Cloud actually attack?
Nice!
Were there any problems in the battle or did it work perfectly?
I don't know if theres anything we can do about the weapons, but sephiroth had his so it might be possible?
LZS Update:
I am very close. My compressed file is 625 bytes (0.94%) larger than the one you gave me (I'm using a two-pass comparison and making some things smaller). That's a compression ratio of 31.56% instead of 32.2%. This is probably small enough for this particular file (they'll each take 33 2K blocks), but for files that are on the edge of their blocks that's insufficient. I'm still working on it so don't fret.
Now I believe I have finished this. I emailed it to ff7rules (at least I think I have) about 15 hours ago, but he hasn't gotten back to me about it. Granted, that's hardly enough time for him to reliably check his email and test it. If anyone else would like a go at an LZS compressor/decompressor, send me a PM or email me.
decompression is perfect i haven't tried compression yet though, but yeah everything seems great thanks allot!
First mod ever for the PSX version its a start 
Anyway it all works except his victory dance but I'm guessing thats something to do with him not having a weapon to he starts to swing nothing then disappears. BUT what is really promising is again NO crashes no hangs it just loads it.
AWESOME this really is getting good everything works except his limits but i think if i changed him to Vincent that wouldn't be an issue.
that is a very nice program, but unfortunately, it still doesn't help. Most of the keys will work, but it will not get the controller back to the original ps1 standard because you cannot unbind keys inside the customize controller options. this means there will always be atleast 2 or more conflicting keys at once. any idea how to fix this? when the keys conflict, the in-game ff7 setup takes priority. i can't be the only person having this problem out there. anyone else have any ideas how to fix this? im really surprised with all the modding and tweaking here, no one has a resolution for this...
Someone should make a website where you can download different models and other things final fantasy. I haven't seen a single site out there dedicated to "everything". There are lots of good models out there but they are randomly hosted on filefront or something like that. Someone make a dedicated site! Thanks.
I changed the Cloud in the game with the one in the demo and it didn't crash or hang he was just invisible.
Weird... Maybe the models are different? Probably referencing textures that aren't there or labeled something else
When I was playing around with it, nearly a year ago
i found all models use same compression, but could not be edited due to game reading disc address instead of directories.
...
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Sorry. I wasn't ignoring you, but now I know what you're saying. You are correct. It is, for the most part, physical disc address referencing. However, it only points to the start of the file. The goal is to take the compressed file, uncompress it, edit it, then re-compress it to be smaller than or equal to the size of the original compressed file, then inject it back into the disc image. This is a working method and has been done with other files that are accessed in this way.
The trick is that the file that the compressed file begins by telling the loading process its own file length so it's not dependent on the FAT to tell how big the file is. So long as it doesn't overwrite the next physical file it can be safely injected.
Awesome man nice work! So itll compress back to its orginal file once you figure all this out?
beats me
I wan't to know where the dialogs in battles are (like versus the first boss when Cloud says to Barret to be careful).
So the goal is to improve model poly count, while keeping it the same size to avoid addressing issues?
Wouldn't it be easier to debug the game with ePSXe and find out the memory codes for in-battle and world models and replace world models with in-battle ones using 'gameshark' ?
Well you could simplify a complex one, and still make it interesting.......
I will keep looking though!
I just put the following script in Red XIII's General Counter:Code: [Select]02 60 20 01 98 40 80 60 20 40 70 3B 00 93 28 45 B5 53 00 47 4F 4E 4E 41 00 42 4C 4F 57 01 01 01 FF
12 70 20 02 A0 20 90 60 02 61 A9 00 92 12 60 20 11 98 40 80 60 10 90 72 4D 00 12 60 20 11 98 40 80
02 60 20 01 98 40 80 60 01 30 90 73
I don't expect you to translate that immediately so here's what it does:Code: [Select]If Self.SizeMult = 32
{
Display "He's gonna blow!!!"
SelfTargetMask = SelfOpponent Mask
Perform "Cosmo Memory"
Self.SizeMult = 16
}
Else
{
Self.SizeMult = Self.SizeMult + 1
}
So basically everytime Red XIII takes damage he grows 1/16th normal size (except it looks more like 1/32). When he reaches twice his normal size he performs Cosmo Memory. I wanted it to look like he was shooting the beam out of his mouth, but I have to find the right multiplier for that. It's probably larger like 48 or so. It did try to perform Cosmo Memory once he got that large, but it didn't look right.
I think the command 92 (Attack) has other arguments than 20 and 24. Sephiroth's has 01 and 02. This might be significant.
In any case, it's a fun new effect we've discovered.
Why presume high quality model mods?
Can keep it low and still do some pretty cool stuff! (Monster modding!!)
A little while back a trailer for the English version of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete on Blu-ray surfaced on Gametrailers.com. The trailer, which actually has no English character voices, says April 16, "limited release worldwide". Seeing as the trailer looks fairly poorly made and a little fishy, we contacted Square Enix for a statement about this trailer and the prospective release date and they had the following to say:-
"The 4/16 release date is for Japan. We cannot confirm the US release date at this time."
Square Enix's PR has a hand in all its advertising, so them saying they can't confirm the release date when the date is shown in the trailer pretty much writes-off the April North American release for Advent Children Complete. Who knows what is up with that trailer.
We'll have the details on the official North American release date when Square Enix releases them.
