I don't know if it would be easy, but does anyone think that they (or anyone else) could make a patch to run FF7 in 32-bit?
 
It wouldn't be easy - more importantly, I don't think there'd be any point. In the level files at least, the graphics are stored in 16-bit. Displaying them in 32-bit won't make the slightest bit of difference to them, or any of the other textures.The shading on the 3d polygons might look better, though.

A better patch would be running in higher res. Like I said, not easy though.
 
The battles and World map would benifit from 32bit colour. I have the sort of eyes that can pick out all the flaws in 16bit colour.It may be hard to do but It would make me happy.

So go do it!  :)
 
if u pull it off, could u please add brightness/gamma adjustment, as my setup IS TOOOO DARK and on the world map i can barely see the damn thing!
 
Hey, I didn't say *I* was going to do it. I've got too much stuff to do already! Somebody else can volunteer.
 
Isn't it funny when people think of something else when we actually mean something else?  :)
 
yeah, i know how u feel  :D
thesaint: i got your cd this morning, thanks a million, goes to show that there r still ppl in the world u dont mind doing something for someone  :D
 
thsaint: could someone submit a files.ini for fices music patch, one thats compatible with the OST? if there any gaps id be more then glad to fill them in
 
uh, yea the files.ini or if i could get my hands on a zipped batch of PAT files compatible with the soundtrack.
PS: fice your ff7 music patch dont work under nt or something, it says this application has failed to luanch press ok to close this application.
 
Can't do much about NT, I don't have it so there's no way for me to fix compatibility...If anyone has made any PAT files I would be interested in getting them though.
 
thanks, but i need one like this:
"artists name" - "song OST title"
thanks
 
Hmm I sent you a load of them.
There just configered to Play the game useing mp3s not Title-Artist name or any thing. There no good then? Sorry....
 
no problem, thanks anyway
but it would have been a pain to rename ALL those mp3s!
plus the PAT files come in handy, now i wont get all those dumped files!
 
Can someone send *me* their PAT files?I might start putting together some PAT's, but I don't want to bother doing it for music somebody else has logged...
 
Uhm Skillster, I think i found one mp3 file on the cd i sent to you that is only partly finished. It's Electric de Chocobo. I think you'll have to d/l that one file yourself.
Sorry!
 
ficedula I will send you my pat files.
And its not much of a pain renameing them all. Its for a good cause  :)
 
saint: yeah i noticed, ill have to find an alternative but it can wait!!! but i also noticed that one of the world map themes start too late (ie it cuts in)fice: it would be good to be able to rather then type the filename into ff7music.exe be able to choose and select from a list or something, i hope u can think of something imaginative like importing winamp playlists or something :P

sir canealot: if u see the way they r named and located on the CD saint sent me, itll take a LOOOOOONG time to rename em all, maybe if someone can think of a quick method of comparing the filenames to fices songlist (supplied with ff7midi, compiled by me) and then replace the filename with the filename in the midi.lgp? it would aid in setting up FF7s music for others too not just myself   :D

Fice: when does your patch spew out pat files? and how can u change the volume of the mp3s as they r too quite against the sound effects and the midi...

PS: anyone ever think of COMBINING midi and mp3s? like play them along side eachother? might be worth trying that out...

The patch creates MIDIDUMP files which you just have to rename to .PAT files when you've worked out which MIDIDUMP was which PAT. See the thread in Game Tweaking (from a while ago) for a proper explanation.I thought the patch set output to maximum volume ... obviously I was wrong.

I will make a newer version at some point. No immediate plans, though. Sorry  :)
 
Beh!
Your blaiming me for the way i name my MP3's?
Well, most of the other Mp3's in my hard disk are named the same way, cause I personally prefer it that way compared to those short 8.3 names
