FF7 window.bin info
« on: 2005-12-31 11:57:19 »
Just a few words to expand on window.bin:
- the 6 byte header of in front of each block are compressed size, uncompressed size and some kind of ID.
- first section is a TIM file with general sprites. The "unknown" short in front of the palette size is the number of palettes. I'd say that is just copied as a block into vram
- second section is the font, with 8 palettes, one for each text colour
- last section is the width the pen has to be advanced after drawing each character

    • A new copy of FF7 thanks to Salk. Pack (zip/rar/etc) your saved game before sending it to me.

True. AFAIK the ID Word isn't used anyway :P

Some of the info you posted (in those 3 threads you've created) were already in gears/board, but there is some new info too :) Good job discovering it.
