So I am having some trouble getting this to work. I was originally on Windows 7, and everything seemed to be working fine. I updated to the Windows 10 preview, and now I cannot activate/deactivate any mods, or launch the game without it crashing. I've tried removing everything and starting from scratch, and I am able to download mods from the directory, but it still crashes when I try to activate/deactivate mods.

Code: [Select]
Code: 
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Iros._7th.Workshop.fLibrary.CheckAllowedActivate(Guid modID) in c:\Iros\7thWorkshop\fLibrary.cs:line 505   at Iros._7th.Workshop.fLibrary.ToggleActivateMod(Guid modID) in c:\Iros\7thWorkshop\fLibrary.cs:line 539   at Iros._7th.Workshop.fLibrary.DoModBarAction(pMod pm, ModBarAction a) in c:\Iros\7thWorkshop\fLibrary.cs:line 577   at Iros._7th.Workshop.pMod.bActivate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in c:\Iros\7thWorkshop\pMod.cs:line 163   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e)   at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e)   at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent)   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks)   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
 
yeah happened to me when I upgraded, you just need to run the gameconverter again. The upgrade process doesn't carry over the registry keys properly when you upgrade.
 
Hi. I've been messing with 7th Heaven for about a week now and I was really enjoying it until I had a couple issues.  When the gang first travels to Kalm, and Cloud is telling the story of his time with Sephiroth in Nibelheim, the battles are very wrong.  When the enemy hits their truck in the very beginning of the story, 2 Yuffies appear next to Sephiroth and begin attacking.  Later in the caves, the monsters are also wrong, to the point that Sephiroth just continuously uses his ice and lightning which heal the enemy meaning the battle goes on indefinitely.

In the setup tutorial it says to make sure to remove any traces of previous mods/bootleg etc, but i've never used any mods before this.  I had most of the ones offered in 7H installed except for the Red Werewolf, Tweaks and Cheats, and the running animation.  I systematically deactivated each mod and tested again.  Then i uninstalled them from 7H and retested.  Still have the same problem.  I don't want to lose my 6.5 hours, so please help me.

Thanks!
 
You deactivated each mod and also uninstalled? This is all done through memory injection, so nothing gets permanently modified by 7H. If they aren't being activated then something is wrong with your own game files.

I have a feeling it's a result of the misplaced flevel in Menu Overhaul. It will be removed in the next update. In the mean time, deactivate MO and see what happens.
 
Thank you for your response!  I have deactivated MO, and the error still occurs. 

Total noob question here, but which file contains my saves?  I'd like to know in case you decide a full uninstall and reinstall is the best course of action. 

Thanks again.
 
They're in the save folder ;)

One more thing to note: What is your load order on the Active Mods list? List them in exact order, top to bottom.

K I wasn't sure if the save in the save folder was right, because if you just try to load the main game (without 7H or mods) it doesn't recognize any saves. 

Like I said before though, i deactivated and later uninstalled all the mods.  I can give you my best guess though.

Chaos
Difficulty and Story
Weapons
Battle Characters
Battle Enemies
Battle Textures
Field Models
Field Textures
World Models
World Textures
Movies
Music and Sound
Menu Backgrounds and Textures
Menu Overhaul
Spell Textures
Minigames

I moved a few things around here and there so it probably wasn't exactly this at the end.  Oh, but I never changed the top mods out of the order you specify in the tutorial. Sorry I'm not more help on this.
 
Try moving Gameplay - Difficulty and Story above CHaOS and report if it changes.
 
The only mod I didn't uninstall when I was trying to troubleshoot was Gameplay and Story, so it is at the top of the list currently.  The same issues are present however.

I may try uninstalling everything and starting from scratch again.
 
K i completely uninstalled and scrubbed everything except the save file, registry and all.  I reinstalled 7 to a non system folder, ran the converter, and downloaded only the difficulty and story mod to test it.  Sure enough, Yuffie was still there to fight with me, so the error persists.
 
Uninstall and clean the registry keys before you reinstall. Check the FAQ section for the two tools to use.
 
@IcedHulk : Have you tried running evrything BUT the Gameplay - Difficulty and Story mod?

I was having the same problems after numerous installs/uninstalls, to find that evrything works as long as Gameplay - Difficulty and Story mod was deactivated.
 
@E2QAlyza I always use CCleaner and I did use the FF reg cleaner as well as double checking in the registry myself.

I will try running it without gameplay mod and post my findings.

UPDATE:  I ran the game without the gameplay/story mod.  Instead of Yuffie in a forest arena I got a Green Dragon in the rain.  I believe this is the correct monster for that area.  This saddens me because I really wanted to run the Aerith revival story :(   Oh well at least i can play now.

Yeah me too! My best guess is that there's either a setting conflict with another mod or a missing registry key
 
Might as well put this here.  I have tried to install this mod and for some reason the converter won't allow me to do it.  It won't automatically detect the installation of my 2012 Rerelease nor run correctly even in administrator mode.  I have the folder installed somewhere in my main hard drive where I can access it easily, used to run bootleg with it and it worked fine till I put in Aali's new driver and did a new Reunion install. Now this.  It's saying the source files are incompatible.
 
hey all, first of i want to say, nice job done, really fantastic.
i just have one question though, i installed a fresh steam release and used the convertor and did all the things said in the tutorial, now when i try too check the supscriptions, it gives me an error saying it cant connect to the server, is this because of a(n)* limit reached on bandwith or anything? like just wait a bit like said in the FaQ? or is this some kind of other problem.?

thank you in advance and i wish u all a very nice day

* im not native english so i am not sure whether to use the a or an in this case..

--EDIT--

feeling quite stupid now, after sleeping a night the catalog did manage to download and update just fine, just had to wait a bit i guess :)

Same here.

I've always had issues with Aerith Revival when using it with Bootleg, and all I did for 7H was transfer over the Bootleg files. I'll look into it, but I can't guarantee a fix since I didn't make the mod and the author has stopped working on it.

There is nowhere in this guide that says to manually put in Aali's new driver or install Reunion first. Aali's 0.8.1b will be setup by the Game Converter, and Reunion features will be added to the Catalog as they come. MO is already there, and ReTranslation is coming next. I hope to add Weapon in the future when it gets completed.

The message for "source files are incompatible" is a check for files found in several of the popular pirated copies on torrent sites.
