:roll:

Open ff7_opengl.cfg in notepad, look at "# set the window size", and set it to this:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
window_size_x = 1440window_size_y = 900preserve_aspect = truefullscreen = true

so does fullsceen ant preseve got to say  TRUE or just yes
 
Dunno. I'd say "true", just to be sure. Anyway, it's only one extra letter.
 
I haven't heard of this, but in any case, I don't think you need those patches with the driver. What is true is that if you do anything with FF7 config after installing the driver, the driver won't work until you reset the registry entries. erhaps whoever said that meant that you can't get the benefit of the patch and the driver at the same time? Anyway, I don't think it matters. The driver works for me and I think that I've used the Nvidia patch at some point :roll:
 
Ok thanks for the info but i but bak on page 12 grimmy307 post a pic with grid lines on it see when i try to run the driver and the tnt patch i get the grid lines like that but all my characters are just fine now when i dont use the tnt patch the grid lines are gone but my charaters are all messed up well just tifa and aeris missing there face and stuff the are custum charters any one know y it does this and how to fix it
 
This is assuming you're talking about the FF7 driver.

install Aali's driver by dropping it onto your FF7 directory. then open the .cfg file (if in Vista disable UAC or do this in the desktop) then change it to the settings you want. run Aali's reg file and done, must be using FF7 patch 1.02

If this is about the FF8 driver. I can't be of any help here, and disregard everything i said.

Ok im using vista and im talkin about ff7 so i disabled uac but are you saying since i disabled uac to run the regular file or the vista 64 file
 
you don't HAVE to disable UAC, you can put the config file on the desktop, change the settings, save it, then put it back in the folder.

If you are running anything other then Vista/7 64 bit, then use the other reg. to check click on the start orb, right click on my computer and select properties.

look under System, and look for System type. if it doesn't say 64 bit operating system, then just run the regular reg file
 
OMG i got it thank you hellbringer for all your help and thank you Kudistos Megistos for your help also i guess i was never really installing the driver correctly thats y i could do what i wanted to but thanks to yall i finally got it workin the way i want it too

Hey Aali!

Just thanks again for your fantastic Custom Driver!

I wrote a PC FAQ on the official german FinalFantasy.de Forum and put your Driver right there- I uploaded your Driver on my server and it has been downloaded over 3000 times! Everyone LOVES it! Really! Here the link to the FAQ:
http://forum.finalfantasy.de/thread.php?threadid=57314

And we're all waiting for your updates :) Oh, I didn't forgot you, you're standing in the Credits in the first post :D

See ya,

Deniz
 
Do you link back to this thread anywhere?
Preferably, you should do that instead of providing your own download mirror, but I can see how that could be confusing for non-english speakers.
Still, people who can should contribute to this thread.
 
This thread will always have the latest up to date version, which is a huge plus.
 
Aali is partially transparent pixels in png's on your list of improvements? If it was it would be awesome
 
I encountered a bug but I don't know if it's because of the driver or it's a known glitch so please ignore the post if it's one of those.
When playing at the northern crater the shadows of the characters in battle started to act strange (they grow bigger then move around the screen and things like that, like poltergeist shadows), the only thing i can remember is that they started to act strange just after the dragon zombie casted pandoras box and that glitch was carried to the other battles aswell. I will put a pic/app.log when i get back home.
PD I was using vincent/cait sith/cloud and only vincent's shadow was not acting strange, cait's and cloud's were.

EDIT: I can confirm that glitch happens when the dragon zombie casts pandoras box, also the texture of shadowflare sometimes does strange things and the save points 'glow' dissapear.






Whops the app.log is too long to post, i was playing for quite a long time..

Aali, I made an easy-installer for your custom driver- and for all other mods. On this way it's easier for the people to apply it. And I am updating the driver whenever a newer version comes out. If I see a bug, which is not posted here, I will post it here :)

Just a protection of more spam here :D
But greetings from...

Edited for incorrectness...

You're right. trippy things happen when you put the vertex and fragment files in for the main ones...
