Hey - I've been working *a lot* on FF:CC. Incidentally, I was the one who did the FF:CC page on TCRF  I've made a lot of new discoveries, just need to document them...
Things I've done:
* Converted all models (including debug models) to obj/mat, with textures
* Converted stages (including unused stages in a weird format) to obj, with somewhat working textures
* Converted all textures (also expo textures, debug textures, etc.)
* Converted sequenced BGM files to Renoise, with rendered versions here
* Converted all sound effects to .wav
* Found a debug stage with a debug menu (startmap), will post a code to activate this soon
My code repository is here: GitHub
I'll update this thread with some of the things above soon! |

I've been meaning to update this thread, but at least I can share a little of my progress.
I've managed to match the majority of functions from the game.MAP symbol map from the EUR version to the layout of the US .dol file. There is also a game.MAP file on the US version, but this is for a debug build, so it wasn't very useful. For some reason, the EUR symbol map matches the US version better than the EU version, so my guess is that the symbol map is from an early compile of the US version, before they started work on localizing it.
The symbol map matching was done using some clever heuristics, so there are 10~15 functions I couldn't match, but otherwise, it is really impressive IMHO. Resulting map for US version is here, which can be loaded into Dolphin: https://bpaste.net/raw/dc90c3bd12d9.
I'm almost done reverse-engineering the animation file format, just some edgecases to figure out. I've also started exporting to .dae, so now the results can be viewed in Blender:
I've also done some work on visualizing maps, including a very early prototype map...
Hope I'll have time to revisit that soon!
EDIT: Also very cool work Rinji! How did you manage to get eye UVs working, by the way? Haven't looked at that yet :o
EDIT2: I guess I'm going to make this my dumping ground for discoveries I haven't cleaned up yet.

KartMario: Soon, I hope... Need to redo the AR codes since I seem to have lost them.
Also updated the previous post with some very interesting finds. There is still 1 prototype map that I had done some work on, but my model reader seems to break on maps now. Will fix this next! |
