Skyview Hall is one of my favorites honestly. The music and the scenery

Damn really great view and style.

Wanted to ask you if you had any idea of where could be the files of the backgrounds ?
I got all the maps of the demo but no background where we can see the clocktower for example.
Oh and did you add yourself all the lights and stuff ? if its the case well done

The background files you're looking for are called BackCloth. Just search your whole pak folder for that specific name.

And thank you. Yea I placed the lights myself. I couldn't find the proper floor/side lights so I just made cubes with emissions.(This was ported into Unity)

I'm looking for the umap file for the scene where zack fights against the soldiers (doubting it was actually modeled)
Also the one for the flashback to nibleheim (assuming it exists once again)

Anyone seen umap files for these scene, what it's titled are and what files are required?
Or are the character models the only things actually in game from these scenes?

Edit: Alright I found a wagon from the Nibleheim scene
so it seems it's realtime and there but I think my rip is missing assets.

I'll keep looking and ripping in the meantime but if anyone could rip these locations I'd be thankful.

Thanks for sharing

Could someone tell me (perhaps via PM) how they're able to get their hands on the data files? Would be much appreciated!

If anyone has information on how to extract all the files from the .pkg or has other information send me a private message, i have fiber optics so i have no bandwidth problems.

Looking for the same. PKG title key would be appreciated.

The nibelheim scene (along with 100% of the games flashbacks) are pre-rendered video files, if you go through the games video files you can see them.
For all of those, there is no map file.
There are however a few random assets. however those assets are not *from* the nibelheim scene itself, they're from the little area immediately after the first bombing mission, where Cloud walks through burning streets, the left side is nibelheim and the right is midgar, so those models are used for that scene, and are on fire. If you look at the scene where he fights the soldiers, its reusing the cliffs from the sector where Aerith lives.

Just so there isn't any missunderstanding, when I say pre-rendered, I also mean just videos of the game itself, because flashbacks happen so instantly that there wouldn't be time to load a whole new map and all the new models/animations in such a short time, so a video of those things happens instead.

That said, *some* of those assets still individually exist, such as young Aerith, Young Cloud, Young Tifa, eventhough you only ever see them in in-game graphic quality video files. I assume they intended to have it all realtime, but changed in the end.

I would also love to know where to find the PKG key for this game. If anyone feels like sharing, please drop me a PM!

Thanks this was my assumption but I didn't wanna risk not asking. That wagon gave me a lot of hope but I realized the came from the Sephiroth flashback. Now I'm just porting the opening scene to blender.




I thought it could be useful is the 1/1000th scale from floor 60 on the shinra building. I'm seeing it listed as F60Midgulbase_01_0shinbuilding but can't find any other parts if anyone comes across the rest please share it's location or just the files

Can someone tell me how to extract/decrypt the game pkg so it's in a usable format for this tool? Want to try and dump all the Japanese strings in the game.

Has anyone been able to extract the backcloth(skybox) files that are larger than 80mb?
I just keep getting that memory error.

I just keep getting that memory error.

use my tool (ff7r.exe) to extract them from uasset in original DDS format.
They are floating point images, to keep wide range brightness values of the sky.
If you need, then you can convert them to some other format. But note that usual 8-bit image formats are not suitable for that.

Any plans of support animations? or it's too much to ask?

its already supported by someone else
