I'll look into it. Not much of a programmer either but this project is frustrating me. What's the deal with umod?

See here: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/11735/
It's possible to use/port for it all our mods here. The UI would be easy, but the BGs will be very hard to port because uMod produces many more images (or hashes)which needed to be replaced.

yeah it sucks that no other format works 
, i tried a lot of different formats a long time ago with Aali's custom driver but other then PNG none worked (even "Apng" failed, which was the format i wanted to work the most at that time which works a little like a GIF), I remember a long time ago Aali saying he used libpng but since its part of his driver there is very little we can do with that info.
You could try adapting Tonberry to work with ff7 and to accept different formats but i bet that would be a LOT of work (it can already extract BMP's from the game but inserting them back is a whole other matter)

Ahhh what annoys me the most is i understand pretty much everything that is said to me but lack the skills to do so, my area of expertise right now is modeling, i have quite a few custom models myself and i can do that all day. Ive been doing this hex editing and have it half done but got stuck, im also trying to get the program ultrasound to work, once ive figured that out i have a great idea for many things. But coding and programming i suck at. Once im shown step by step how to do something, ill master it though. But if someone is able to do that then they dont need me lol.

Well, I personally wouldn't be able to use those despite them being well made - since they are way too far removed from the original style and polygon count.

Ah, sorry about that, this is sorta my personal style so im used to this.

Hey guys, sorry to bring this one back again but i have an issue and providing someone is able to fix it this mod is essentially complete!
Using 006C62D1 Which is the length of the hp bar, if someone can alter this in a way using these numbers
66 c7 45 f0 b0 00 except it only changes the length on the main page, not the item/magic ect.
The only problem i am now having with this mod is the fact that they all move on every page where i wanna move them individually.

Okay, so i know reviving a dead thread which is warned but it's my thread so that's okay right?
I wanna start making a real document here of what i have, where i'm going and what i'll need help with. This is all regarding the in game menu and it's individual sections.
So the address's i have so far are:
Code: [Select]
So out of all this i have mostly gotten everything where i would like it to be. Granted it looks a mess right now, i guess i'll show a pic haha.
The problems i am having.. which i really hope someone here may have an answer for is as follows.
******************************************************************
1. Being able to move something on 1 screen such as the Main WITHOUT it moving on another screen like the Item menu.
See this pic:
Example to hopefully help is that this code "006CABFB" Which is the Character Stats (HP/MP values, names and bars) on the X axis will ONLY move on the main screen.
Where as this code "006C62C0" Which is the HP bars X axis moves on EVERY screen
******************************************************************
2. Being able to move anything on screen to any position.
This usually doesn't come into play but on occasion something simply cannot be moved far enough once the address hits 127. or 7F in hex,
I sort of know how to fix this but won't say no to more advice.
******************************************************************
Once i can achieve these things i will be able to completely redesign the in game menu however we want it and make a TON of variations for as many peoples liking's as possible. If this is achieved i can try move onto greater things, have no clue if they are possible but a few ideas i had was:
Changing the appearance of the menu boxes, can we add a picture or animation to it?
When your cursor goes to an option, light up that option or simply move it slightly to show that it's highlighted.
There's a ton of things we can do with the right info
But my end goal so far is for it to look something like this
Of course ideas will be taken from you guys, this is mainly just a test for now
