[FF7][FAQ] 7th Heaven Frequently Asked Questions

Yes its running as admin  and what do you mean "configure"? It doesnt exactly give me more options than pointing to the folder which it already finds..

Tried reinstalling the game a second time, deleted all the files in the folder, still no luck.

Reinstalled again to different drive, it was in program files before, you should probably make this instruction part a bit more noticable xD Therefore fixed.


New problem: Get FF7.exe has stopped working crash on startup/launch. Resolution is also in 640x480 when this happens.

Edit: solved again, running 7th heaven as admin and set ff7.exe to run as admin

I mean right click on 7th heaven > propriety > check run as administrator

Right click on the converter not on 7th sry (but i suggest to do the same on 7th)

For the converter i had to install it outside of program files. For 7TH h i had to run as admin. took a while but meh.

Does it worth for you now?

Is it possible for me to repatch the lgp file with new field models after ive already installed 7h?

I'd like to use some field models that aren't currently an option in 7h like cmh175's.

But I dont want to mess anything up because things are running great for me at the moment.

Anyone have experience doing what I'm curious about?

Thanks

I wasn't sure if this should go here or the official 7th Heaven forum, but since this one has load order suggestions, I decided on here.

First of all, I would just like to say that this mod has changed everything for me. Last year I attempted to mod the game using Bootleg, and after nearly a week of aggravating troubleshooting, I abandoned that attempt. I would get the game working fine, only to find the next day something was broken. This mod couldn't have been any easier, and am eagerly awaiting additions to the mods catalog!

I'm writing to note differences I encountered with my working mod order compared to the one given in the tutorial. Step 5 states:

IMPORTANT: Use the up/down arrow keys to arrange the mods in the following load order:

Miscellaneous - Red Werewolf
Miscellaneous - CHaOS (Character Overhaul Seven)
Gameplay - Difficulty and Story
Battle Models - Weapons
Any order thereafter (I go alphabetically)

Click to expand...

I found that in my game, CHaOS was overwriting any settings in the "Field Models - Characters, Enemies, Objects" and "Battle Models - Characters" catalogs. What I had to do to prevent conflict was put CHaOS below these 2, and then turn off Field Models from the former catalog. My order then looked like this and is running fine:

Battle Models - Enemies
Field Models - Characters, Enemies, and Objects (field models turned off)
Gameplay - Difficulty and Story
Battle Models - Weapons
Animations
Spell Textures
Battle Models - Characters
CHaOS
etc, etc, etc.

If we want to have new textures like mayo master TA new fields, can we place the PNG in trhe mod/Textures folder ?
Or 7H folder ?
Is it possible to mix 7H and new textures not coming from catalog ?

Hi boys!
I'm Dark_Kloud and I love that modpack! 
I have a little problem, when I try to play "NT" mod with 7h, it doesn't load properly, I receive some strange materia names (like "Force" for elemental, "poison null" 4 poisona..) why it happens?
Also, every time I open 7h I receive this message:
The following errors were found in your configuration:
Aali modpath: <folder where I installed FFVII>/mods/bootleg not found
Music: <FFVII folder>/music not found

The settings window will now be opened so you can fix them.

Why it happens?

This worked great the first time I opened it, then I stupidly opened the FF7config to try and upscale the windowed resolution and fix the Movies directory (7th Heaven doesn't like the default install path, apparently). Now, when I try to launch the game via 7th Heaven, the game exe completely ignores 7th Heaven and launches normally. I obviously just need to delete some sort of configuration file to fix this and try to find the game's ini for the movie directory, but there are just so many files in place due to all of the mods. Please help.

Edit : Solved it myself by using FF7 converter + overwrite command. Now, if I could just get this to launch through Steam with the Overlay active.

mods/Textures is where the Aali driver reads. You can place anything manually in there, but 7H will overwrite it if there is a mod that alters the same files.

This is probably from the flevel that was left in Menu Overhaul. The next update to the Catalog removes it.

Run the FF7_GameConverter_7H.exe again. Don't open FF7Config, as it will change the registry keys.

Well, almost done with my little project on the steam release.  I just wanna ask. How are things going for you guys? I also figured out what was wrong with my Avatar and background thing from 7h the last time I used it. i could have just extracted the IRO and put the files there manually.  A bit funny yeh? Also, what is to be expected in the future with the catalog? Is there anything new? I have been too busy to get around the detail due to work.  My shifts are crazy.

Thanks EQ2Alyza ! So, any chance to see this Team Avalanche new fields in a future 7H catalog update ?

oh man thanks for this awesome mod, sorry but i dont know where to ask this, where can i config the controller for the game? i have a ps4 controller and a pc gamepad, but cant make anyone to work with the game. Can somebody help me?

Edit: Actually i cant even make the keyboard work, wtf? lol

Is there a way to launch straight from a shortcut instead of through the GUI?  I have the 7th heaven currently integrated into xbmc/kodi but I want to launch straight to the game.

You can create a text file with the lines Code: [Select] in the root folder of 7H and save this as a .cmd file (simply rename txt to cmd). Send this to desktop as a short cut and you have a quick launch.

Gamepad works like plug-and-play. I don't know about the PS4 Controller. If your keyboard "isn't working" then it's because you didn't choose yes for the Keyboard Numpad patch when using the Game Converter. By default, the keyboard controls are on the numpad, but if your keyboard doesn't have one then that patch is required.

You can create a text file with the lines Code: [Select]

Code:

7thHeaven.exe /LAUNCH /QUITexit

in the root folder of 7H and save this as a .cmd file (simply rename txt to cmd). Send this to desktop as a short cut and you have a quick launch.

Thanks Kaldarasha I knew we had a solution to this, but I couldn't find where it was discussed.

Hello,

I just switched over from using Bootleg to 7th heaven.   Got everything setup and working great but can you tell me how to install a mod  i used in bootleg using 7h Heaven that's not in the catalog? 

I'd like to use some battle models that aren't in there and a different field model for cloud.

Thanks in advance.

... also can you tell me how to get FFVII to play the new opening movie I put in the movies folder at ffvii/data/movies rather than the original on the game CD?  I figured out how to change the movies path using regedit so the movie plays but no oher movie then plays as the game looks here for every one. 

p.s. I saw a version of the new opening movie where the old movie appeared briefly on a flickering TV screen at the bit where you see Aeris's face.  Anyone know where to find it?  As shown here
