Aali's driver [v 0.7.7] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

[sithlord48]

just think about how many textures could benefit from being animated. sure right now it sounds like a novel idea, but really stop and think about it for just a few min, w/ animated textures we could improve the battle locations w/ moving backgrounds (like trees that move in the "wind") the world map textures could also be made animated and i would suspect that also could be done very well and really improve the realism of the game.

Damn its just too good to be true.. But its not impossible right??

 

[sithlord48]

im no artist, i just write a little save game utility. but i would think its possible. then again we would need APNG to work before we could even play w/ that to see if it can be done nicely.

Animated materia perhaps?

 

[DLPB_]

Yeah I mentioned this to Kranmer....the FF7 PSX materia is animated...

Interesting. I never noticed that

 

[nikfrozty]

FF7 materia is animated?? Hmm.. I don't see it. How is it animated?? :?

 

[sithlord48]

its only the psx version the animated materia . i do remember this coming up before.

 

[nikfrozty]

its only the psx version the animated materia . i do remember this coming up before.

I mean how is the psx version animated?? It looked the same with the pc version. Sorry its not just clear to me.

Hello everyone here!
I just installed this awesome Custom Driver, but when I open ff7.exe (v1.02 official) it doesn't leaves me play and appears this message...
"No-CD patches are not supported, please use the official version."
My ff7.exe file is the official one 1.02 English version... Running on Windows 7 Ultimate x86 Platform

I assume you're not using a no-cd patch, right?

 

[Takeru]

I assume you're not using a no-cd patch, right?

there says clearly ff7.exe (v1.02 Official)

*Self-inflicted-facepalm*
I'm sorry, I need to learn to read.

Try running your game in XP compatibility mode, that may resolve it. You're sure that it's the original 1.02 English EXE with no other mods applied? The driver is generally tolerant of things like YAMP, but I'm not sure how Aali's checking the file, so I'm not sure what will set it off. You're also sure that cdcheck.exe is original as well?

It keeps appearing the same message

 

[Kranmer]

maybe you downloaded the offical 1.02 from a site that already had it patched, where did you get it from ? Try redownloading it from the qhimm wiki.

anyone knows how to integrate the median.post with the bloom2.post? i want the bloom effect with median, hah, i tried to integrate it myself but there is an error..

Mind if I ask some questions?? What is the median.post?? What is it supposed to do in a game?? Sorry I just don't know.. Is it supposed to make it brighter like bloom.post with some difference??

Something like that, It's actually just a pre-processing filer used to remove noise in a image or video.
