I have a quick question for you, when I use Sense on the Trio on the train, it says weak against restorative magic, so I cast Curaga on them and it just heals them? I don't understand :(
Also the Eagle Gun enemy on the train has a Warrior Bangle, in normal FF7 this is the only one in the game, is this also the case with your mod? Or is it somewhere else too?

lol! I never thought of that...weak against restorative magic...that's awesome. That means restorative spells do double damage...or double *healing*.

And guess what happens when you select "death" for healing magic in Hojo 1.1? ;D

Enemies that lose health when healing magic is cast on them (the Gi Nattak is a classic example) are set to "absorb" the recovery element.
 
I have found another confirmed bug, entering the final screen of the Ancient Forest (where the Apocalypse is) causes the game to crash. Is there a boss in there?
Also for some reason the Typhon materia shows up as an 'item bag' pickup instead of a 'red materia' pickup in the field, so the boss battle comes as a bit of a surprise. Is it possible to change this?

Also FYI I have some other crash bugs, but i didn't confirm if it was your mod or not:
- At the battle arena, one time when starting the first battle, the game crashed.
- At the chocobo footprints near Gold Saucer, occasionally a battle would start that would crash ff7.
 
My game crashed after beating omega in northen cave battle. here's my log

It can't find the new model. Did you patch battle.lgp?
 
Do you think there could be an issue with using your new patcher on a battle.lgp from your last release, Gjoerulv?
 
Ah...playing through this mod brings back memories.  With the new boss addition I should play through again to see how I fare.  Gjoerulv, have you gotten a chance to play through all the way?
 
hi.

i am having alot of fun with this mod. it keeps me on my toes. i am at shinra tower right now, and something is kinda pissing me off.
the 3 soldiers (extra boss fight in de midgar model room) are extremely strong, and i beat them just barely. this was exciting and fun.
but after that the balance for the bosses are just plain stupid.

first the bio boss in the experiment room is weak. i beat it with tifa alone. (the rest of my party was dead, no phoenix downs etc)
then the enemies are retardedly difficult and there is no place i can restore my dead party members. using a tent somehow does not restore life to dead party members what the hell.
okay so everyone gets brought back to life, in the series of events that follow, lucky me.
so i fight the robot in the elevator. pretty easy. too easy for the mod i think.
then i fight rufus with cloud. i cast bio on his dog and then attack him one time. then they both start attacking and i need to keep curing to keep myself alive just barely.
the dog casts barrier barrier mbarrier mbarrier in that order. so i think let me attack once during that time. but noooo the shitty dog skips the last mbarrier, and attacks instead. i died.

guess what my complaint is? no way to level up and no way to win. wth

Idk by the sounds of it, you're just having trouble killing things cause you're characters suck. There are ways to level before you got to the tower, and there's even a couple floors in the tower that you can go level on. The point of a hardcore mod is so that you actually try to get stronger to beat the bosses, and use strategy. I'm hoping your a smart person who keeps multiple saves, that way, if you aren't happy where you are, you can go back :P. Oh, and tents never revived  characters, even in the original game...

There is only 1 release with this patch. I have tried it on several computers and it works perfectly.

@Klaid Liadon, have you turned user account control (uac) off? If you use XP that shouldn't be a problem. Even with the battle.lgp there should be no problem lol. Just in case. The scene look up table in the kernel should also be updated according to the scene.bin.
As I see it the game has problems loading the model. That's why I assumed battle.lgp didn't update correctly. My battle.lgp is 63,5 MB with no other tweaks installed. I suggest patching only battle.lgp on an untweaked battle.lgp to see if any changes occurred at all. If that's the case try fighting some of my new enemies to see if the game manages to load 'em. If not, the problem lies not with my mod (to swiftly check Omega, simply use Hojo to set their HP to 1. They are in file 6).

If the patch didn't manage to patch anything there prob is a problem with my patch or your uac settings.

wtf tents i forgot.

Okay, i beat this asshole rufus, with some strategy.

But i'm now at the reactor and i'm at the extra fight with sephiroth and the mako monster thing.
and well i was low on mp so i kinda died there. but no way to re-do the fight unless i go through all that story again.
My problem is more with games in general: don't make difficult bosses without a save point nearby or the player must go through all that story telling random battles etc again. maybe even a third time. which is highly annoying.
maybe plant an extra save point in the reactor? maybe a retry mod?
it's a game for grownups, not teletubbies, repetition is a no no. and if you disagree, i have add so things get boring quick nya

Also my characters didn't suck compared to the enemies before that. but after the soldier trio the difficulty went waaay up without warning and little chance to save and or level.
leveling to beat a boss yes....but don't expect me to level to lvl 20 before taking on those bosses, because i do want the challenge this mod is giving me, only with the really hard bosses i'd like a save point/inn around to be able to level up. or else i'd might get stuck.

the trio was awesome! i had a savepoint nearby and was able to level, but i didn't. I kept trying and it was the most exciting fight i had in an rpg ever.

I agree. Repeats are definitely a no no. However, there are many complications by adding savepoints in this game AND maintain my vision on how this patch is supposed to effects the game. It's complicated to explain, but lets say I add a savepoint to a field file. Then I have to add that file to my patch. Now, if a person playing with the French version use this patch, that specific part of the game will contain English dialogue (I know this is true by adding bosses as well; please complain 'bout that  :P). I want this patch to work with as many mods as possible, without adding any custom content that doesn't effect battle difficulty.
I'm actually considering removing that Seph boss simply because it effects too much dialogue.

Now, I don't mean to offend you or anything here, but it's called hardcore for a reason you know. This is meant for hardcore ff7 players. That Seph boss isn't particularly hard. Keep regen up, keep hp at safe level and keep an eye on your mp (and keep up lol). Don't do anything with Cloud. There usually is a savepiont near the bosses. All the Summon materias also got bosses (Not all i.e Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh, B-Zero).

I don't know if agree that the difficulty goes way up at that point. I guess I didn't have that much trouble there.
 
You know, I almost want to try this out. The only thing is, I'm not really a hardcore ff7 player quite so much. But it does sound fun, maybe I'll give it a go one day. I wanna see all the new bosses and such and any other new content you've added. It does sound like a lot of fun.

Just to give you some perspective, the first is the easiest of your encounters with the soldier trio :D   

I can say that this mod is frustrating at times being as I have beaten it, however it is hardcore and quite fun overall.  I enjoy the difficulty.
 
My AUC is off.

Hojo check it's ok, there are 3 omega.

My Battle.lgp is 90.336 kByte because of the 3d models installed by the 2.5 patch
 
Installed 2.5.1, problem solved! Now the question is... where is mega-all materia, counter materia and shield materia

In the materia caves.
Glad it works. It most definitely had something to do with battle.lgp, seeing how big it is.
