IS someone else getting random crashes now and then?

Switch on Windows 95/98 Compatibility Mode for the ff7 executable.

Made another update.
Fort Condor minigame is fixed now.
Slots for Battle Square, Tifa & Cait Sith are also fixed.
 
Wow! Nice!
I'll try as soon I get in home.

By the way Saint, did you include the right TEX file to silence\sleep? And do you think the same can be done to ff8.exe too (resolution patch)? :wicked:
Just wondering.... :roll:

Thx a lot!
 
I would really like to use this patch but I've encountered something stopping me from doing so.

I actually own a copy of FFVII PC, but I've lost one of the discs and my install disc is scratched to hell, so instead of going out and buying another copy I've started using the Ultima edition.  Doing so has made the crc32 check fail and because of that I can't use it.

Any solution?

AFAIK, the patch only checks the crc on the ff7.exe itself, and not any related files. So all you got to do is get the ff7 1.2 update from anywhere, since it has the ff7.exe you need.
 
Buy a new copy of the game, or hack out the cd protection yourself i would assume

Could you probably keep the 1st post in this thread updated with the current version number? Personally, I don't mind following the discussion, since it provides me with details, but being able to get the project's status with a quick look would be nice.
 
AWWWW MAN!

I just got Omnislash last night & did Fort Condor a few days ago. Hahaha.

Still need W-Materia though -

Thanks for all the updates.

The thing is I believe the bug was introduced by me at some point, and I've forgotten when I introduced it, so it's been rather difficult for me to try and fix it. I've been trying to fix this bug but I keep getting sidetracked to fixing something else instead ;)

And about ff8, that's unlikely to happen.

Hey, guys.. you know that WE DON'T SUPPORT PIRATED COPIES OF THE GAME sticky up on top?  Yeah.  Don't go giving him advice.  99/100 times, the ""person who lost thier cds" actually just never owned them.

Anyways saint, good jerb =)
 
Man you folks aren't very trusting =x

*edit* But nevermind, now I can't play with 1.02 because it's got a CD check.  Oh well.
 
I know it may seem mean, but we're forced to be suspicious of people who say they "have a copy of the game" but have to use the Ultima edition anyway...  You can probably understand that?  What's to keep anyone from saying "Ah I lost my copy!"?

Anyway, I certainly see that you have a real copy, but we still only support the real copy — As sometimes, there are problems with the game because it is not the real thing.
 
Yea, ive got to get my official CDs from my friend heh. I know that using the Ultima Edition is why the mods usually dont work, and I live with it. Ive still got the box, but bleh, who cares heh, FF7 is FF7 to me, as long as I can play what I payed for :P
 
No, see, he's wondering why the screen is white.  It matches quite perfectly =P

That's the part where the screne turns green, just before "Tifa" appears and tells barret/nanaki to go find Cloud, right?

=/

And yeah, i didn't mean to sound too mean about the ultima edition thing.. but Aaron hit it on the head: That "version" casue all new problems in and of itself sometimes, so it's more than just principle =)  But good luck getin yer game discs back ^_^
 
Does the Ultima Version use the AnimeVamp patch or something? Shouldn't fixing it be as simple as putting the 1.02 exe in there?

At any rate, I have the original discs still. :)
 
Ultima edition has no CD check, so if you replace the ff7.exe with the 1.02 version, you add a CD check.
 
I need a gamesave before that point, I have no idea when that happens even.

That.. is just before where Cloud gives Seph the black, weapon emerges etc.

.. I think.
 
Yes it is the part in the north crater just before Cloud gives Sephiroth the black materia.. (more precisely scene 702)
There is a whole bunch of dialog between the nearest save point and this scene so I changed the upper exit link in trnad_4 to load scene 702.
http://venus.walagata.com/w/reunion/FF7scene702.rar
So replace the trnad_4 map with the one I put in the rar file then load the save game and go up the next screen and instead of loading scene 711 it will load 702 and save you 15 minutes of going through all the dialog.

-edit- Sorry I should have looked at this more carefully. I think it may just be my video card (Radeon9500) not your patch at all because it only displays corrrectly with software rendering. But if someone could check that just to be sure.. thanks

This is what is should look like:http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/FFVIIIReunion/398ab9a0.jpg
 
Took me a while, but: Confirmed, all I get is white, too.  Looks like the new background texture isnt rendering correctly.  Using a 6600gt.

And on another note, the movies are playing kinda slow, even though i'm running them off my HD.  Anyway to optimize that prt of the code and let them run a little faster?  I mean, i can full-screen them (1280x960) in winamp and they play just fine.  But in ff7 they lag, and eventually the audio mis-synchs and.. yeah =(
