chara.one Archive
Each field contains a chara.one file that contains multiple field models (PNJs), or calls to main fields models (Squall, Laguna…).
Header
| Offset | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 4 bytes | Number of models (not present in ps version!) |
| 0x04 | nbModels * varies bytes | Model headers |
| 0x04 + nbModels*var | 256-(0x04 + nbModels*var) bytes | Padding (the header is always 256 bytes) |
Model header
For each model:
| Offset | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 4 bytes | Offset to model textures + data. Warning: in pc version, you must add 4 to this offset! |
| 0x04 | 4 bytes | Size of model data |
| 0x08 | 4 bytes | Size of model data (bis). Warning: Sometimes not present! |
| 0x0C | 4 bytes | if this DWORD >> 24 == 0xd0, there is no tim offset list, and “model data offset” is 0 because this is a main field model |
| 0x10 | Varies | Tim offset (relative to the “Offset to model textures + data”) list, ends with value 0xFFFFFFFF |
| 0x10 + Varies | 4 bytes | Model data offset (relative to the “Offset to model textures + data”) |
| 0x14 + Varies | 8 bytes | Model name, usefull when you must call a main field model |
| 0x1C + Varies | 4 bytes | Always 0XEEEEEEEE |
Data
This is the same data structure as a MCH model (without header). In the PlayStation version, each model textures + data is LZS compressed.
