Well, the crash is happening from a very standard draw call that hasn't changed at all the last 10 or so versions. So, either you have a broken model somewhere (can you reproduce with original data?) or there's something really weird going on.
 
Actually there are 5 in this thread that can be used with it: https://www.ff7catalog.com/]

Oh thats clever, didn't think about FF8. That launcher still works though, doesn't it? This isn't really how I intended that option to be used so I dunno if I want to expand on it.

Yeah the launcher still work, it's just convenient being able to bypass it :)
Don't worry about expanding it if it's too much effort, just wanted to know if there was a way to do it currently.

Also, the FPS overlay doesn't seem to work on FF8.

EDIT: Also in FF8 the battle transitions are just thin black lines, and Squall doesn't have a shadow on the world map.
I tested without the driver, and the battle transitions worked well, and Squall has a shadow (although the shadow looked messed up since without the driver the transparency doesnt seem to work)

Hey Aali, just thought of putting this also here since the bug I got is regarding Your newest release
Is TA's mod compatible with Aali's newest (0.7.8b) driver ? i'm asking cause I tried it today and dunno what goes wrong but can't install T.A.G.O. When installer is run I get this:
Aali's custom driver is not installed, or not installed correctly. please reinstall...
The game runs fine with Aali's driver, got no graphical problems just this :
 ERROR: could not read from file c:\users\mefi\games\Final Fantasy 7\ff7input.cfg (0)
 but i already created ff7input file.
Can this cause problem with compatibility to TAGO?
And how can I solve the ff7input prob, already tried deleting, and creating a new one.

This is because aali's newer drivers do not modify the registry the same way. the easiest fix is to download one of the older versions and run the ff7opengl.reg.

This is not a problem with aali's driver. it is a problem with the avalanche installer. The next avalanche release will not have this problem.
 
oh, ok.
BTW can U tell me what program did You use to remodel menus in FF7 ? Id like to try it myself, and maybe if i'll come up with something nice i post it here for TA's use :)

Any idea how I can find this broken model (if it's a cause)?
 
Photoshop.

simple as that :) how about if I would like to change the positioning of the stats, boxes etc? (making side bar wider or location window more narrow, and reposition level or limit gauges)
 
No idea, look in the menu reconstruction thread. Anyways this isnt relevant to the topic at all.
 
I found a display problem with ff8:
glassf.png


The glass is transparent. I looked in ff8 data, so this glass is drawed with blendType = 2, and BGSHADE opcode was called.

Oh, and is there a hope that the next version correctly displays battle transitions?
 
It seems like this hurts FF8 more than it helps.

Nobody is forcing you to use the driver. If you have better luck with the original driver use that.

Not true. There's a few missing graphics, but this is the most compatible option.
Click to expand...
Which ones? It just seems like until we can apply high resolution textures there is really no point in using this with FF8.

The ones that come with the game... When you install it? :P.
 
I don't understand what you mean. I thought you meant there are broken textures this fixes.

He meant you can always just use the base game. Like the drivers that get installed when you install the game. That driver is called Direct X. :P. Aali's drivers are made to stabilize some of the issues that the Direct X drivers caused. Aali's drivers are far from complete, but they are definitely an improvement. In my opinion.
