Hi All,
I think I asked this once before in the past but don't think I got an answer. Methods on the site for editing FRAME.BIN seem to rely on a previous version of Shishi which could do it, alas it can't any more. Could anyone provide help with editing FRAME.BIN in the same vein as this topic for ITEM.BIN: http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=6543.0
I've used the .gif image on the wiki: http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/EVENT/FRAME.BIN
If that's not a problem then I get the impression the main issue I'm having is correctly converting the image back into TIMs. Using the Graphic and Palette locations below I can't see any similar structure in the hex between the .BIN file and my TIMs:
Graphic: 0x0000-0x8FFF
Palettes: 0x9000-0x92BF
After converting to 4-bit and 8-bit .tims using TimTOOL the first lines of FRAME.BIN were clearly different in structure from the 8-bit file's 0x14 lines onward (which should be the image data if the same as ITEM.BIN) and 0x9000 onward in FRAME.BIN is completely different from my 4-bit TIM from 0x40 onward. I've even tried doing it with the ITEM.BIN.BMP that Xif attached in the linked thread and can't see a common structure between the 8-bit file and ITEM.BIN.
Back to FRAME.BIN: output file sizes are 144KB for the 4-bit and 288KB for the 8-bit.
If using the .gif on the website is fine then any help in the settings needed to create a viable TIM in TIMTool would be appreciated.
Thank you.
