Hey guys, been getting an itch to replay FF7 again and decided I'd like to do it with mods this time. I've followed the instructions in the 7th heaven guide to a letter, all my settings are set up properly, I ran the GC before on a brand new install of FF7 (with cleaned out registry using both FF7 remove keys and Ccleaner) my game is installed to D:/Steam Games rather than Program Files
and I've re-run the GC to ensure it worked properly etc. I've done some searching around before making this post as I hate not at least trying to fix my own problems before asking for help but I just can't for the life of me get 7th heaven to install any mods. One of the suggestions I came across was to make sure a setting in the ff7opengl.cfg called "Direct Mode" was set to On, which it is already.
So I've downloaded everything in the 7th heaven catalog and when I go to activate and configure my mods, nothing is actually being installed. I've tried reinstalling 7th heaven and deleting its data from C:/Users/Appdata/Roaming and still I can't get it to work. I've looked inside the mods/7th heaven folder in my main FF7 directory and the mods are showing up there but when installed nothing is showing up in the textures folder. I tried installing everything according to the guide, put them in the proper load order, configured every one of them but nothing actually works when I boot up my game. With the mod "Menu - Avatars and Backdrops" my main start menu that shows up should be changed to a modded one but it's still showing the default backdrop. Haven't bothered going any further than that since nothings actually going into the textures folder which I'm assuming is wrong.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! If I need to provide any further information please just let me know.
