Translates Final Fantasy 7 assets to web-friendly formats like JSON and glTF

Current Features

Translate FF7 field character models and animations (char.lgp) to JSON and glTF
- battle model support coming soon
- reverse translation (glTF-to-ff7) coming soon
Translate FF7 field scene data (flevel.lgp) to JSON
- translates field scripts, gateways, etc., but not all sections yet

"git clone" this repo
install NodeJS and run "npm install" to install dependencies
- https://nodejs.org/en/download/
locate field/char.lgp and field/flevel.lgp from your Final Fantasy 7 PC installation
use unlgp 0.5b to extract lgp files to a directory
- see https://github.com/picklejar76/kujata/lgp-0.5b/bin/unlgp.exe
use TexTool_0.10 to translate TEX files to png (as needed)
- see https://github.com/picklejar76/kujata/tex-tool-0.10/TexTool.exe
edit config.json to configure your input and output directories
- see https://github.com/picklejar76/kujata/config.json

Run "node test-ff7-to-gltf-translator.js"
- This translates AAAA.HRC (Cloud skeleton) to aaaa.gltf and aaaa.bin
  - uses AAFE.A (Cloud standing animation) as base structure in the output
  - includes all Cloud animations (based on Ifalna DB) in the output
Look at ff7-gltf/viewer/viewer.html for example of how to view in html page
Edit the js to translate other models as desired
