On the crash.dmp i found many strings like C:\lib\src\graphics\gl\gl_code.cpp , c:/ff7/scr/.... that i do not have on my pc. Is that normal?
I have compressed the dump file to rar and uploaded it to mediafire and megaupload (compressed file size about 780 k and uncompressed about 20 MB)

or

Thank you for your fast reply Ali !!!

EDIT: Remember that i get a crash.dmp file only if i set the resolution to window mode, on fullscreen i dont get errors but the game doesnt start up

EDIT 2: The only difference i see with remix patch and others is that this patch includes a eax.dll, can this bee the problem? I have copied all but i think that this dll is for ff8.

Hello,

First time on the forums here. Glad I found this community. I'm having a small issue with the Aali patch.

I have followed the instructions. A) Fresh Install B) Installed 1.02 Retail Patch C) Extracted Aali's patch into the default folder location D) Ran Config and made sure it was set to "Custom" E) Modified the config file to change the screen resolution.

It appears to not be changing the screen resolution and I was hoping someone could offer some pointers.

Thank you!
 
The new subtractive blending feature is at fault here. The driver assumes you have support for it if you have OpenGL 1.2 but apparently thats not enough. Unfortunately there's no config option you can turn off to work around this. See if there are any updates for your graphics card drivers, they might have added support for it.

Ohhh thats bad, there are no new drivers for the graphic card (searched on dell,ati and looked over google). I will use then the older opengl drivers,it crashes but the game is playable (+ i have a save anywhere patch so that is no prob).

Thank you very much for helping me with this.
 
Hey guys, finally got that install disc I was looking for. So I went and got the 1.02 patch, and the Custom driver patch. But in Aali's info thread,it tells me to change settings with theff7.cfd file, and I don't know how to do that. I read through different threads and couldn't find an answer. So I booted up the game to try to play it, but the Eidos and Squaresoft Logos never came up, but when i clicked the "action" button on my game[ad it went to the new/ load screen. I clicked new game and it went black, and wouldn't load the intro movie. Any help/ info on what I did wrong? Thanks.
 
You should know better that we at least need your app.log to see if we can help.
 
What do you mean by that? I looked around. I'm legal. i'm asking the right people for help. And what's an app.log?

...  did someone hijack your account?  You've been around since 2008... you can't be serious right now.

I will consult with the other mods about possibly banning your account so the good name of guitar_dudester91 won't be trampled on any further..
 
Well so far, I believe my problem was I didn't have TrueMotion 2.0. So I downloaded that after I reinstalled, and it works. So tomorrow I'm going to download all of this stuff again (1.02 and Custom) and see where it goes from there. I'm so glad the admins on this forum helped show me that. Thanks guys. Really appreciate it.
 
Nice Driver here. ;) but i have found some bugs in this. more likely the screen transitions. while the
fps display constantly at 32 when the transition is not made. it began to really drop to 19 or something
when i go to next screen.. although this can be solved by entering the menu and exiting out again.
is there a fix for this already or i have to change some configuration..

thanks.. btw. good job with this got it working with Launcher 1.4 and some good add-ons. this is the only bug that i found.

updated. i found that the texture reload resets to 0 when i enter the menu and exit. but when
im entering a new screen it goes up again to some value. and il have to re-enter the menu again to reset it to 0 just to increase fps again/.

Is there anything else I have to do to make the dialog boxes transparent in FF7?  I've changed the config file, but it doesn't work. I have also tried the battle option, but all it does is expand the screen. There's no transparent boxes either.  What am i doing wrong?
 
Question about this mod path.  Why does it need a path?  Why can't it just be forced to be "/"
so that the folder is the root.

That seems to be far more logical, no?
 
Hey everyone. No idea if this is a bug, but I got this driver and I also installed the Team Avalanche's patch and PRP patch as well. All is great when in the config. file I set my resolution to 640x480 but the moment I set even 1 pixel less or one pixel more, it lags to incredibly new lengths. The only tihng I have seen lag this much on my computer was a PS2 game played through PCSX2. I cannot figure out what the problem might be. Sure my computer is not great, but it can take this.

My SPECS are:
Video Card: GeForce FX 5200, 128 MB, integrated RAMDAC. Version 4.34.20.22.A5.

RAM: 1.0GB Single Channel DDR @ 199MHz (3-3-3-8).

CPU: AMD Sempron 2800+, 1.7GHz, Single Core.

The config. file is as follows:

# ff7_opengl-0.7.8b config file


mod_path = none

use_shaders = no

# plugins

movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp
music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp

# vertex and fragment shaders
vert_source = shaders/main.vert
frag_source = shaders/main.frag

# YUV fast path shader
yuv_source = shaders/yuv.frag

enable_postprocessing = no

show_fps = no

show_stats = no


window_size_x = 640 (not able to go less or more than this!)      
window_size_y = 480 (not able to go less or more than this!)
preserve_aspect = no
fullscreen = yes

prevent_rounding_errors = yes

enable_vsync = yes

minigame_framelimiter = on

battleswirl_framelimiter = off

use_new_timer = yes

use_stable_timer = yes

linear_filter = off

transparent_dialogs = on

break_9999limit = yes

mdef_fix = yes

new_battle_interface = on

fancy_transparency = on

compress_textures = yes

direct_mode = off

show_missing_textures = no

Any help would be appreciated.
 
You will have to either turn off prevent_rounding_errors which causes some glitches or run in a multiple of 640x480. 1280x960 or 1280x1024 (which is reduced to 1280x960 by aspect correction) will work fine, for example.
 
Okay I will try that. Thank you! :)

EDIT: Works like a charm. Thanks! I also forgot to say that I have no music.

in the drive cfg file you will see a line that says this:
Code: [Select]
Code: 
#music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp
if you are using FF7Music you need it to say this:
Code: [Select]
Code: 
music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp
if not leave it alone (With the Pound "#" sign)

Thanks, that works! :)

Is there anyway to put yer own music into the game? I know about FF7Music mod, but I'm talking about custom music.

Yes, replace the file in FF7 music with the mp3/ogg of your choice. if you have further questions on how to do that. please post it in a topic in Tech-support. Or the feedback for FF7music Thank you.
