FF7 PC LGP Explorer


There are already quite a few tools for managing LGP archives for Final Fantasy VII PC, so why another one? I primarily created this for me, because I wanted to have an app that:
  • works on all platforms and / or in the browser
  • works with all LGP files
  • can add/replace/remove files from archive and supports bulk operations
  • can quickly preview most known FF7 file types
  • has good search / filtering
Surprisingly I could not find any app that would fit all there criteria perfectly, so I wrote my own :).
Below is the current list of features:
  • opens any LGP file, including magic.lgp maintaining its subfolder structure
  • extract one or multiple files
  • insert or multiple files
  • replace/remove files
  • friendly file names for models in char.lgp (field models) and battle.lgp (battle models & locations)
  • quickly search/filter the file list
  • sort by name, size, type
  • hierarchy view - displays a tree structure with skeleton/hrc files at top-level and their referenced child resources below
  • preview most of the game assets:
    • Field level backgrounds and walkmeshes
    • HRC skeletons (field models)
    • Battle skeletons (battle models/locations)
    • Magic.lgp skeletons (*.d files and related assets)
    • RSD resources / P Models
    • TEX images (with previews for all palettes and PNG export)
    • HEX / Plaintext view for all other files
As always, feature requests are welcome!
