Ganesha

A map editor for Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX).

Goals

Ganesha can:

• Change mesh vertex XYZ coordinates
• Change mesh vertex normal vectors
• Change mesh vertex texture (UV) coordinates
• Change mesh polygon terrain coordinates
• Change mesh polygon visibility angles
• Add new mesh polygons
• Delete mesh polygons
• Change terrain data
• Export/import texture images
• Change texture palettes
• Change directional light colors and positions
• Change ambient light color
• Change background gradient colors
• Warn user when saving a map file that occupies more sectors than the original file

Instructions are available here.

Ganesha should some day be able to:

• Preview texture with palettes applied
• Preview effects of polygon visibility angles
• Edit animated mesh polygons
• Operate directly on the ISO or on map files
• Change hidden item and trap locations in BATTLE.BIN
• Load maps based on ATTACK.OUT scenario data
• Edit ATTACK.OUT scenario data
• Edit ATTACK.OUT placement grids
• Edit ENTD data?
• After more reverse-engineering:
  • Change texture animation instructions
