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)
    • Animation previews for all field and battle skeletons
    • 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!

I see you never stop working!!!

it’s really impressive how visually polished it is, and it looks easy to use.

If anything unexpected or important comes up, I’ll come back and let you know.

Thanks again for your work mav!,And please don’t leave this community :)
