Hmm, the last one might be the problem. Try it without the AC mod beta and see what happens  :-D
 
but its weird... it only crashes when u battle in the area of the save point (1st reactor) but if u go to another room other than the 1 with the safe point, it works... weird... so the AC still might be the problem?
 
Ah, I think I know what's going on.

If you installed the AC mod over gjoerulv's mod, you may have overwritten the battle model for the "robot" enemy that gjoerulv made. It appears in that part of the reactor, and if you don't have its model the game will crash.

I recommend that you reinstall gjoerulv's mod on a clean copy of the game, make a backup of the patched battle.lgp and put a clean one in the main game directory, patch the clean one with the AC mod, take the player character models out of the AC mod patched battle.lgp file with lgp tools, use lgp tools to put them in the battle.lgp file patched with gjoerulv's mod (so you don't overwrite any of gjoerulv's enemy models), and then put *that* battle.lgp file in the game directory. I haven't tried this myself, but if do that, you should be able to make it work.
 
hmm, im having some difficulty understanding this but i c why this is allowing the crash. wow ur good! but still, i got no idea how i will be able to make these mods work hmm
 
Just thought I would point out some thing I noticed when I run the game

The battle displays perfectly fine in all its full screen or 4:3 glory.  However, when I'm in the field there is a little black bar at the bottom of the screen.  Not blocking anything, but more like making the display even smaller.

Am I the only one experiencing this?  If not, is there a reason for it?
 
Woa, working great until now, no crashes slow downs or anything under Vista 32bit SP1 until the part where I have to dress Cloud as a girl 'cause that's as far as i got with the newest driver.
I think this might be a good time to replace the FF7config.exe with a moded one (just the "Graphics" tab) tho if someone is up to it, so the driver usage and configuration is more transparent since the current one is no good at all nowadays.

The game is doing that because field uses a different aspect ratio.
 
Aali - can you explain why the printscreen button doesn't work with your driver? neither does hypercam.
FRAPS might, but i dont wanna download it just for this.
can you fix it so it works?
 
It doesn't work because it's using hardware acceleration. I'm not sure I want to "fix" that. Just use Fraps.
 
thats strange. i am using XP SP3 and Print screen seems to work fine with Aali's driver (i have tried both windowed and fullscreen) and it seems to work fine for me (i am not using any mods and i have no other programs open but i press the Print screen button on my keyboard and copy and paste it into paint fine)
 
I suppose it might work with some drivers/cards/whatever. Either way it's out of my control.
 
Neo, it doesn't work because you're in Windows 7, just like me. I opened it in an XP VM, and the print screen button worked.

Windows 7 uses the snip tool instead for it's screen shots. Probably why
 
Really? I thought i saw a seven thing in your video haha.

Well it works in XP and not in Vista, explains why it doesn't in 7
 
Hello. I would like to get more info on this tool, if possible. For example:

- does it mean that when you select Software as renderer, the game uses OpenGL?
- will it make software rendering prettier than it was before?
- should I first install the v1.02 patch?
- helps in increasing resolution?

Forgive me, as I am quite new to this tool. :shy:

when you get this never use FF7config as it will overide it

It doesn't use software it uses hardware, everything will look the same, graphic errors (for the most part) will be fixed
Yes it only works with teh 1.02 patch

Yes it will increase it to any resolution, looks best if a multiple of the originals (320 x 240, 640 x 480, 960 x 720, 1280 x 960)
 
Alright, thanks for the quick answers.

For the info, I am running widescreen (1680x1050), and haven't got the TrueMotion codec installed, and just have tried the "custom graphics driver."

It has given me an error, http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RXKR6UXK (crash file and log combined in a rar archive).

Any idea of what is going wrong here?
