@ aali, ok cause i was just about to say my movies don't work any more....
and i love the replacement ff7config.exe (so much nicer then a reg key!).

3. I get a windows error "ff7.exe has stopped working" after choosing quit from the menu.

3. Can't reproduce this on my end but if you don't get the same problem when you kill the game with alt-f4 the driver is probably not to blame.
3. I do get the same problem with alt f4.

I've also been getting this problem. Though I wonder if it may be related to compatibility mode, which quite a few people are using, particularly if they're using FF7Music.

Yay movies work!

And I don't know if this was intentional or not but the game no longer crashes upon closing.

Also, love the transparent battle menu!

Edit

Just tested one of Clouds monologues; it does indeed work with fancy transparencies on!

0.7.5 seems to be working great now. All videos seem to be playing. Thanks alot Aali.
 
H.264 and AAC support? Is this confirmed?
Click to expand...
i have tried eidoslogo sqlogo and opening.avi all in h264 with AAC audio and they all work from start to end without crashing (i had some problems with AAC LC but AAC main works fine)

EDIT- If you want to check out if H264 is working for you here is a opening i made a long time ago (its the original FF7 opening but from the PSX version which looked better then the PC and it was filtered smoothed and upscaled to 1280x960 also the audio is 44hz where the original is only 22hz) but now in H264 with AAC audio
just rename your opening.avi (for backup purposes) in your FF7 movie folder then unrar this one to the movie folder then run the game with 0.7.5.

EDIT2- also i said 1280x960 above, actually that was a mistake (i have a 1280x960 version but this isnt it) it is actually 1280x896, sorry about that.

what do you mean GL-0.07.7b ? what version is that ?
"ff7_opengl-0.7.5b.zip" is the latest version. try that first and see if that fixes your problem.
PS- movies where broken in 0.7.4b but 0.7.5b the movies should work.

gotenksssj22002 are you using vista or win7 ? and if you are using vista or win7 do you have UAC on ? have you installed VC++ redist 2005 and VC++ redist 2008 ?
 
WOW Aali, the full screen battles are fantastic, I guess you read my suggestion then :)
I just watched the Bahamut ZERO summon with the fullscreen battle, looked fantastic.

Only very small bugs I could find were:

- When the battle ends and fades out, the Character names don't fade for some reason.
- When you open a magic menu, the top of the transparent bit ceases to be transparent.

Full screen field screens coming soon? :D
 
Also just another suggestion, is it possible to increase the draw distance of the world map with the driver?
 
Ok, so I keep running into random error's when I play my game. Two of which pop up when I start it, one before the EIDOS logo, and one at the main menu (New game/Continue). The third error pops up whenever I start a battle.

Before anything this pops up in a box: No useful indirect path found, check APP.LOG for more information

At the main menu, red text on the screen for a second: Error:init_indirect failed, scaling and postprocessing will be disabled.

Battle swirl, red text on the screen for a second: Error: GL_INVALID_VALUE

Anyone know what these mean? They haven't effected me at all as far as I can tell, but they kinda worry me.
 
Is it possible to move the GUI elements down a bit for the fullscreen battles? It looks awkward where it is, with that empty space underneath.

I approve of this comment.

Also, is there a reason why the box has to be transparent?

In any case, it's nice to have something in full screen, and it would be even better if something could be done about the field screen as well. At the moment, the game is almost windowboxed on widescreen displays (except for along the top).
