well, sounds like some fine work, depending on your upload results i may not need to finish my project after all :p
 
Well, here it is. I might give a picture tutorial later, but let me know if you're able to download it (it is 3GB)

FacePalmer

You need WinRAR to unpack.

1) Click 'Download' on the right side of the webpage (make sure you're inside the FacePalmer folder of SkyDrive)
2) Unzip with WinRAR
3) Use WinRAR to batch unRAR all files inside the field folder (select all, right click, extract to separate folders)
4) Delete original archives in this folder
5) Drag the entire FacePalmer folder to your mods directory
6) Set your mod_path = FacePalmer/ in ff7_opengl.cfg
7) Play the game

Edit: Link didn't work, see torrent in separate posts

seems like its only possible to download 1 by 1  :o or maybe im doing something wrong.. never  used SkyDrive tbh  :|
 
If you follow the link I posted and click 'Download' on the right side of the page, FacePalmer.zip will popup allowing you to download the entire thing in one shot. I'm not sure how bandwidth works if multiple people are downloading it from there at once, but once you get it, it sure would be nice to have a torrent available since it would likely be much faster.

I signed in and I still don't get a 'download' link.
Facepalmer and Field are folders.  Field is full of rars containing the pngs for each area.

EDIT: YEAH! I downloaded all 667 files!  Now I'll make a bat file to extract all the rars into the proper folders.

Ok, sorry guys, I didn't try it on another machine or logged into a different account. I'll figure out a better solution and post a new link tonight.

Edit: I'll just give jeffdaman the account credentials so he can get it and make a torrent out of it.

my download speeds are kind of crap right now. so someone please tell me how it came out when you've got it :]
 
downloading pretty fast here about 2 hours left

i will leave it seeding after its done
 
I'm getting some crap speeds too. About 60 to 125 kbps.

One I get it, I could make a mirror using Megaupload or Mediafire links.

100 kbs aint bad considering we have 1 seed xD
 
That's true, and I'm getting 200kbps right now so I guess I shouldn't complain.
 
I'll lend myself to seeding after I've downloaded, as well. Better backgrounds are totally worth it.

First thoughts: "Oh wow, it's downloading pretty fast. 500KB!"

Then: "Wait...that's not KB. That's bytes. BYTES."

Oh snap!
 
im uploading at 200 kb's and downloading at 30 kbs xDD

but its ok.. after 2-3 people finish it downloading and (hopefully) leave it seeding.. it will get rly fast
 
I'm up to about 600KB now. It doesn't take too long to go faster.
 
Here are the commands to easily install these files from the command line.

Copy the 'field' folder from inside FacePalmer.zip and paste it into C:\Temp.
Download and run unrarw32.exe.
Place 'unrar.exe' in C:\Temp.
Start a command window and enter this code or create a .bat file.

Code: [Select]
Code: 
    REM *** SET FF7ModPath=Your Final Fantasy VII installation folder    SET FF7ModPath=C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII    CD /d C:\Temp    FORFILES /m *.rar /c "cmd /c ^0x22C:\Temp\unrar.exe^0x22 x -y @file ^0x22%FF7ModPath%\field\^0x22"

Alternatively, with WinRAR, you can just follow this procedure:


Also, it might make it easier for future downloaders if we could unRar all of them first and then make a torrent. Then it's just drag, drop, and play.

Want me to do that?
Everyone who is already seeding can do it as well, and if I send them the new file and they keep the data in place we'd still have all the seeds.

EDIT: Someone goes to Med School :P
