Okay, Chrono Cross Textures

[ZeaLitY]

Yeah, it's stuff TIMViewer can pick up. Ditto for the TD; I never saw his textures during our earlier runs with TIMViewer.

I wonder what these 544-byte headers are preceding the character dialogue portraits?

544 bytes is big for a header. At least from my limited experience. That's worthy of investigation. It's the same for all the dialogue portraits?

Do you recall if we have the TD's Dragon God form texture, Zeality? I think that one's on both the "dungeon" map in Terra Tower as well as in battle. Should be the same for the various colored Dragons. The Lavos form of the Time Devourer only appears in battle I think, so if we lack only the texture for that last boss, it would suggest that some bosses, at least, have different textures in and out of battle. How bothersome!

Seems like a redundant, bloated way of doing things in terms of data size...

It's redundant, but reduces seek time for loading stuff from several files located in different zones of the ISO. Instead, you have everything in 3 consecutive files, which makes CD loading really fast and organized.

[ZeaLitY]

Aha, I see.

Well, good news. I did my favorite hobby of feeding things into TIMViewer, and I've got two hunches now:

1) The rooms are in the same map order as listed in the debug menu / room modifier GS code.
2) The rooms each use three files with the following inside: A) Unknown B) Lighting textures C) NPC textures.

This is probably common knowledge, but I'm guessing A) could be the walk mesh. It's pretty fresh, and I'll know more once I weed out the TIMs and see if TileMolester knows what's left. For the Doc's house (Home), it's 1007, 1008, and 1009.

Okay, 1009's TIMs had no headers inside the file. Here are 1008's. Each is 12 bytes long:

Now let's examine the remaining files.

1007 - No idea.
1008 - 3,120 bytes remaining (including the TIM headers): Stars with "drp". Just has a lot of "hik3"s in it. The data has a lot of .......s.
1009 - No idea. I'm guessing it has NPC / enemy models and battle animations.

I've attached the resulting files; 1008 still has the TIM headers, but no TIMs of course.

Hey wait, you guys have subdirectories in your /Rooms/ folder? I just get Rooms, not GFX or other stuff.

The drp files are just archives. All those names you see inside them are the subfile names (4 chars each, no extension). In Yazoo's private tool package there is a program called DRP Decompressor or something like that, which can extract all the entries in a more or less accurate way (file size is wrong and dup files cease to exist).

[ZeaLitY]

Oohh, I understand what all that was now...god, writing three papers is really killing me here...

Okay, yeah. From the amount of room files, 537 is the perfect number.

Well, guess that takes care of rooms until probably Thanksgiving, when classes will finally let up. The CF portraits also seem to have a big piece of something unrelated to the TIMs in them like the CFTs.
