While we're here, which file is the save point in the field.lgp?
I like the original more.   :-D
Click to expand...
That would be this
Save Icon - Normal (avfe)
 
Thanks!  The materia worked perfectly but the save icon was the exact same size (160kb) which I would think is coincidence but the archive shows the same save icon as before...
 
Also, this is very strange but the keystone still gives the same shudder issue.  I thought this was just shown as blue materia, perhaps it is not?

Is there a documented list of the field.lgp's file equivalents?

Okay, my bad.  I didn't replace Holy and avge was identical, but avga.p a few files down was smaller and I believe that's what it is, but I'm backing up and testing just to make sure.
Frack, regardless of these changes I still have the same keystone shudder and unchanged save point issues.  I'll fix 'em tomorrow.

ok I put original .dll in system directory but it says that the game cant start because the .dll was not found, BTW does this driver have an 8 bit paletted texture fix like magixts launcher?
 
Just a quick question, is there anyway to increase the resolution on the background images on ff7? a patch or mod or anything?

many thanks mindrip xD
 
Mindrip, does this also work for 915GM? I understand that the dialogs are all the same, but the 945 is the first one to be compatible with WDDM, and I suspect that there are some major under-the-hood differences that may affect other stuff like OpenGL also.

With Aali's driver an Palmer you can, But it's VERY hard to do.
 
Why does the character eyes really stand out when using this opengl driver?

All the model's eyes look really dark and emphasized.
 
How do I configure the new Music driver after turning it on in the config? Do I have to install Ficedula's FF7 music as normal or just place the new PSF files somewhere?
 
Found another potential issue with the sound in FF7.  During the part in the Wall Market where you infiltrate the inn to get a vending machine item, after you get the item from the vending machine, the music immediately restarts from the beginning.

It may have always done that, but it seemed a little odd so I thought I'd let you know just in case.
 
Sorry to disturb but i have a problem with the old drivers ff7music works well but when i install tjhe newest drivers 0.7.1  the music dont start

heres the app.log

When the Sector 7 plate falls, the battle music doesn't stop playing when it should.

Check the thread I made on setting up your FF7 Music, then use Aali's newest driver .7.1 and make sure to uncomment the plugins part of the .cfg.  And it should run just fine
 
Wow dude this new graphics driver is just awesome!!
Very big thanks for that from me, you are a genius ^^

edit: one question, does the linear filtering work? or does it only work on the world map?

i realize this is probably very premature, but is there any chance of you adding bumpmapping to a future version of your driver?
