works for me, are you trying to use a download manager? The domain doesn't allow that if so.

i think it was a internet explorer error im downloading it with Firefox

I've been trying to download this file for the last couple of days, but the download is very unstable and completes before it is truly complete. I am using firefox and no download manager. I tried using IE as well, and that didn't work. Chrome I hope will work, after I download it.

Great compilation, but I'm having problems with the first minigame on the highway, after Shinra HQ. The FPS in normal game is limited to 60fps (vsync works), but when the minigame kicks in, the fps goes over 200 and its impossible to complete it normally.

That's weird, the framelimiter is on.. you can try using the old framelimiter: goto the patches folder, move the 9999limitbreak stuff into "Do Not Want", then go into "Do Not Want", and move the "HighwayAndSnowboardMinigamesFix" files out to the "patches" folder. Then run "InstallYAMPNormalMode" and "InstallYAMPHardcoreMode" once each and hopefully the problem will be solved...

Thanks, I got it working with the old framelimiter.

Yay! The server finally let me download the entire file. I suppose it was under construction or something. I have the patch working, although the opening CG won't play, so I am guessing the others will not either. I have changed the target in the reg file and still nothing plays. I also changed the datapath to my virtual drive, does that make a difference since I have movies on both the hard drive, and the virtual drive with the "disk"? Also, the beginning of the game--when cloud exists the train--it is pitch black, until I blindly initiate the first battle scene in which the graphics appear, and remain seen afterward outside of the battle scene. The game is running fine, although I would like to see the CGs. If you know a way I can get this going, please titeguy, be tight! Thanks.

ERROR: couldn't open movie file
ERROR: couldn't open movie file

The game continues, it doesn't even hesitate before or after the movie doesn't load. It is rather flawless, other than this unknown error I am trying to workout with the movies. I have had no problems with the music either, which I have tried different versions of. I didn't get any shortcuts in my start menu, btw, so I am loading the game via Run FFVII Remix shortcut in the main directory, i load the ff7remixshortcuts script and nothing appears to happen. There are a lot of shortcuts for the game, other than the remix and remix hardcore, should I be using any other shortcuts? Thanks for your time, and the compilation.

I was able to fix it! I changed the path back to the (x86program files\squaresoft\final...\movies) and then--what i didn't do before, updated the reg of the movie change, although the movies didn't play originally. well, they are now, and on my HD TV I could tell the difference immediately. things are working great! i will keep you posted if i run into any bugs. thanks.

Take your ff7.exe, copy it, and rename it to h_ff7.exe, then run InstallYAMPHardcoreMode.bat (installing the 9999 limit break patch), then it should work fine.

It does not work .... It is normal h_ff7.exe file, rename it to n_ff7.exe?

it's either ff7.exe --> h_ff7.exe

or n_ff7.exe --> ff7.exe depending on which one's there

Hi!

I'm new here and just joined because of this pack.
Downloading it at the moment and can't wait to try it, it's been a while since the last time i've finished FFVII (more than 10 years probably) and i just want to say thank you for repacking all this mods that are fair to the game concept.

Also, a bit offtopic but, i've been watching youtube videos from FFVII lately about remakes and such, and i really wanted to know if something like this would be possible to do:

<- refering to the menu
<- refering to the player models (cloud/vincent)
<- refering to Weapon/Summons models (and menu also seems sharper)

So i believe models can be replaced like vid 2 and 3, but what about a menu like vid 1? Is it possible?
I don't know how hard is FF modding, i only been around of modding in games such as Fallout and Oblivion so don't spank me for asking.

Keep up the good work.

The menu's can't really be remade with the current scope of modding the game I think.

If you have a little search around you can find 2 different versions of Cloud remade in much higher quality, one in Advent Children style the other somewhat close to the original with a hint of Crisis Core thrown in.

There is a better Barret that comes as part of the Avalanche Overhaul patch included within the pack this thread is all about which cleans up the UI textures and various other textures with higher quality artwork while still retaining the original look and feel of the game.

The creator of the third vid stole all that from here except the Illegaly ripped models, he seems to be passing it all off as his own work.

Humm, i see.
Although from the vids seems menus & font can be at least "sharpened":

Remix pack screen:


Screen from the vid i posted before:



Anyway, i've been searching threads in this section and seems no one tried to do some overhaul to summons and let's be realistic, they're part of the magic of FF series. That guy from the vids i posted before seems to be using models from other FFs to replace the original ones:


Ifrit -> FF8 (?)
Shiva -> FF10
Odin -> FF8 (?)
Neo Bahamut -> FF10
Bahamut-ZERO -> new model?
Choco -> new model?
Ultima Weapon -> new model?

Anyway, don't take this as dissing, i'm loving the work you guys are putting here, didn't know people still worked on FF7 until some days ago, and every little work is awesome to make the game better.

Just hoping someone with modeling skins happens to remodel summons someday  :-D

The Bahamut Zero seems to be from Crisis Core perhaps, the Ultima Weapon may also be from Crisis Core.


That font is included in the Avalanche patch, like I said pretty much everything in that video came from this forum except from one or two bits like the summons and the RedXIII/Vincent models.


The summons will be done in due time, the avalanche team are mostly redoing to the 2D artwork for the time being, Apz, Kula, Millenia and Timmu are working on the 3D stuff starting with the player characters and weapons first, there is a bit of organised chaos about this place but stuff gets done and that's what matters.

Calm down.  
Some people are also working on "remaking" FF7, but their work can't be posted here.

Ifrit -> Crisis Core
Shiva -> FF10
Odin -> FF8
Neo Bahamut ->   Unchanged, only textured
Bahamut-ZERO -> Bahamut Gold from Crisis Core
Choco -> Crisis Core  
Ultima Weapon -> no idea

If they're not taking credit then why is there no mention of who made what then?

Their site has a page for credits but has absolutely nothing on it.

There is also a blatant link to download Advent Children Complete, the torrent was removed but the intent is still there.

Lack of evidence = conclusion jumping.
