Trying to remake FFVII in Unity.

Likes RPGs 🗡⚔🛡🔫🪃🏹

Fixed an issue where colour palettes weren't ripping correctly and coming out with unsightly black artifacts ranging from extreme to "rather annoying". All better now ^^

See the before/after images.

Fixed an issue regarding image/walkmesh alignment. 200+ out of the 700+ fields were affected, but now all 200+ align without issues.

I literally just hit a button in Unity now and it sets up all 700+ scenes with camera, backgrounds, models, gateways, scripts ^^

Fixed up a ripping tool which was 60% reliable, but is now 100% reliable, which means I now get all 383 of the game's field models super quick :D

Now I just have to apply my anim-fixes in Blender, then I have a few things I do in Maya, lastly the Unity setup.... 383 times :|

Got palettes working within the textures, which means I can now use the original and authentic approach to textures in Unity as opposed to skipping to a final image, which is not only cheating but would mean certain effects in the game can't be applied.

Original FF7 data importing to Unity. Essentially working but lots of loose ends to tidy up! Soon I can start moving all the interaction work I already completed into the new pipeline.

Wrap-around effect so that the world now loops when you fly off the edge of the map.

Earlier clip when I was working out his boundary-detection and response

Earlier vid where I was working out the movement code for all the segments (they all queue up behind the head of course)

Zolom is in! Stays in his swamp-terrain, bounces from boundaries, moves in curves, hunts Cloud relentlessly >:D

A less exciting but necessary update. Map overlays with vehicle/chocobo/character markers and triangle FoV scope!

I also made it really easy to add custom vehicles that assume their own marker in future. No reason ^^;

Added the upgraded Highwind boosters

Pretty much done with Highwind controls.

I've got a few tweaks to make but everything's there. I'm fairly proud of my camera-work. The shadow and the sea-spray gave me a bit fair challenge as did the Highwind's bizarre drifting controls.

FF7 Potato Mode! >:D

Got the region/terrain/chocobo data in to Unity and behaving itself. Next I need to setup the filters to make use it so Cloud can't walk on mountains anymore. Once that's working I can jump into vehicles >:D

Finally managed to get all the World assets ripped! Took a little more blood, sweat and crying-fits before they were usable in Unity.

Now to move on to fun stuff like using vehichles & Chocobos :D

My sky looks nasty when you see how I'm doing it in the editor ^^
January 11, 2025 at 3:30 PM
Been working on character navigation, camera, sky and world-bend shader. Starting to get happier with it. Will get all the vehichles, landmarks n Weapons in soon enough, then I need to work on the underwater map.

Will work harder to get parity right once everything's in place.

Sweet, got the texture anims goin

This might not be new to the modding community, but I really like having access to the source files so I can explore Gaia this way!

Back from Christmas travels and making a start on World Map!

Finally, a use for this chatgpt regurgitation. Super saiyan hippo energy for 2025!

Et voila! Shops. Buy/Sell items/Materia. Still a few things for me to improve but it's in good shape!

Visit family for Xmas/NuYrs & I'm not one of those people who own a laptop so no updates from me until the new year, but then it's World Map stuff!

Have had to repost with fixes :S Currently implementing the game's shops. Had to expand my database editor to include em, now I can start working on the in-game UI and field operations used to access them. The game features 80 shops in total!

"Save" has been fine for a short while, in theory, loading has too but I am only now trying it together after finally putting the start-menu together.
