FF8/FileFormat ONE

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)
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
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).
