These looping issues are nothing to do with my oggs... more to do with the new PC game.  There is nothing I can do about it.

Rhythm is The Turks' Theme... and works fine here.
 
Well, it's only happened the one time for me and all of the others are working fine so far... hopefully it was just a one-off, especially if it's working for you.

Thanks again, I was editing them all myself with Audacity for ages until I found this forum. Saved me probably days of work!
 
OK here is what I have done about the looping shin-ra mansion music.  Because the PSF and the original game sound so poor compared to the OST, I have used the OST for the bell ring and then phased it onto the drum beat.  You can't tell the difference and the plus side is it is the highest quality possible.
 
Sounds awesome.  Can't wait to play it.  I always did feel that track was especially lacking, even though as I never played the PSX version, the "crap midi" didn't but me so much at the time.

My initial experiences were with a high end sound font capable sound blaster and the yamaha enhancements.  Was pretty good, for its day, but a few tracks (like this one) still seemed a little lackluster.
 
God what a nightmare!  I've discovered why the intro mansion music doesnt work right with Anxious Heart at all.  I accidentally deleted the track from the file list so it couldnt play it.

I will sort this out for the release which should be in next hour or so.  A LOT of messing about to get this all sorted.
 
Long time lurker, first time poster, so... hi, and thanks for all the great work.

I purchased the new rerelease of Final Fantasy VII PC, and have used the .ogg files linked to here to replace the god-awful crap Square-Enix included in the rerelease:

Now, I'm not sure what release of Anxious Heart those files were taken from (or if they're even taken from somewhere else), and I'm not sure if the problems are in the original files or if the person who compiled and posted them (the Readme says Bloodshot) made some errors, but I have quickly discovered a couple issues:

1) The Opening Bombing Run music (that plays immediately after the opening FMV ceases and Barret and Cloud disembark the train) doesn't loop. There are two files that are exactly the same in the tracks included in that link, titled "oa.ogg" and "ob.ogg". In the .ogg files included in the rerelase, "oa.ogg" is the music that plays during the opening FMV rather than being identical to "ob.ogg".

2) The track titled "comical.ogg" plays the Jenova theme. The "comical.ogg" included in the rerelease is definitely not the Jenova theme, so that would seem to be an error.

Just letting you know in case it has any bearing on your release of Anxious Heart compatible with the rerelease, and for the sake of others using the .oggs from that link. If it's not relevant to you, by all means ignore me. ;)

All of those things are known.  Comical is unused and so is oa (they are never used).  Thanks for the report anyway.  I will be releasing a full statement at the end when this installer is ready.  And yes, he got those ogg's from here.

I will be releasing the final updated set soon, with a few fixes.

Also to anyone else, until I have released the new installer / and set, there is no point releasing "bug reports".  I know you want to help and that's good, but wait until the next installer is out and you have read the statement I will release.  There are a number of issues fixed with the new release and many more things that I know about, seem to be bugs, but aren't. :)

Due to a number of issues, it is taking longer than expected.  But it will be done soon ;)
 
IIRC, isn't oa the overworld music before meteor is summoned and ob is after?
 
No. You may be referring to ta and tb, which are overworld starting at different points.

When I release the installer and notes, some of this will be clearer.

A03 is Here
as ever, read the readme on the installer's license page.

Please note, if using new PC game (2012), select that option in the installer.
MAKE SURE TO INSTALL TO THE PATH YOUR FF7.exe or ff7_**.exe is in.
IF IT SAYS NEW FOLDER IN THE PATH, DELETE IT. 
THE PATH MUST BE EXACT.

I will be releasing an ogg pack soon too, for those who want to just copy paste the ogg's
into the ogg_music folder.  Remember though that this project also includes options
for other music.

(Thanks Shademp for this information).Opening - Bombing  Mission (oa) is the opening music, but withPC this music is part of the FMV instead.  The music file is notused.A One Winged Angel (lb2_awe): Final boss music. Does not seem to be used or present in the new PC game -lb2 is used instead, same with the old PC game.Crisis of the Planet (fin): Again, this music is part of the FMV andthe file is unused.NAMESI have added these because I feel it necessary to correctall errors with the original VII... and there are many.  I hopepeople will start using the proper names for the music.These are the re-translated music names by Luksy:A Dream of SpaceAerith's ThemeAnxious HeartBarret's ThemeBeginning of the NightmareBirth of a GodBlood TrailBombing MissionBuried in Snow Cait Sith's Theme Canyon of the Falling StarsCid's ThemeCinco de Chocobo Coal Mining Town Coast of the SunContinueCrazy MotorcycleCrisis of the PlanetDebutDescendant of Ninjas Don of the SlumsElectric de Chocobo FanfareFarm BoyFiddle de Chocobo Flow of Life Flowers Blooming in the ChurchFort CondorFrom the Depths of DespairFrontier VillageGold SaucerGood Night, Until TomorrowGreat Crater of the NorthHear the Voice of the Planet Highwind of the SkiesHoneybee ManorHurry Up!Hurry!If You Opened Up Your Heart Infiltrating the Shin-Ra BuildingJackpot!J-e-n-o-v-aJenova absoluteJudgement DayLand of Exile in the Sand Lurking in the DarknessMain Theme of Final Fantasy VIIMako ReactorMark of a TraitorOne-Winged AngelOther Side of the MountainPersue the Man in a Black Cloak!PreludeRed XIII's Theme ReunionRufus' Welcoming Ceremony Shin-Ra CompanyShin-Ra ExplodesShin-Ra's Full-Scale Offensive Staff RollStanding on Two Feet is Hard!

It was a nightmare updating this installer and making sure the files were right and I am still not sure it is 100%.  Keep me posted!


Also note, I now need MIRRORS for this and for the OGG pack for new pc (the pack will be for people who just want to do an easy swap).  If anyone can lend a hand, much appreciated.  Also need someone who understands torrents, that would be best bet for the pack.

I agree that a torrent of these files would be great and I would love to help do this. Especially the ogg pack.
 
Come on who is going to be the first to spot some hideous oversight on my part.

h3ndrix, or maybe Bloodshot if he wants... I will upload the pack shortly.  Well, let us make sure that this installer works fine too.  Though a mirror for that would be cool!
 
Installer works great, looks great but I am confused as to what ogg files it patched. The ones that come with the new release?

It batch files my own.  It has to rename them to work with New FF7, as well as move them to correct area.  Are the files working in game as they should?
 
Wish I could help with the mirrors.. I have a media server here with oodles of space (though probably not much upstream bandwidth) that I *want* to get a net and email server running on.. but I know diddly poo about how to work in linux.

My friend who could set it up has been procrastinating forever.  =/

Is there anything specific you need us to be looking out for in terms of the old standard version install, Or just a general "watch for anything it shouldn't be doing" sorta deal this version?

And thanks much for the update.  :)
