So i'm wondering if the normal enimies got their attack properties edited or is it just bosses now.

Everything is modified from what i have seen.
 
So more normal enimies are causing confusions, blind, poison, beserk, petrify, blind parylize and so on?   I'm not talking the stats of enimes.   Cause thats the easy part.


Edit: Well i must say,   your hacks got some impressive stuff now that i got to mess with it alittle.   But the scene files are messed up in the ancient temple area and onward it seems.

Damn really?! It was fine in the final cave. Sigh, bug hunting again I guess....
 
yeah but maybe its because i was doing it on the psx emulator.   Maybe it works fine for the PC version.
 
No it was a bug! Thank you for finding out! But it fixed now! It's that damn pagoda tower that screw things up. I had to remove everything I edited in hex in Nibelheim, wutai mouintain + pagoda tower. It really wasn't that much, but it sure as hell annoys me. I've had plenty of problems with the pagoda.

So everyone who downloded the v1.0 download it again. The bug is fixed!
 
heh i hope your ready for yet another bug cause jenova life freezes the game.   and its not my game its dfeinately a bug in your editing.

Edit: and i'll add that uhhh wellll the underwater reactor area is messed up as well.

All the jenova fights works fine on my computer. I have the 1.02 patch +many other from this forum. I don't know if it's that which causes it or if it's the emulator or something else. You did mean the Jenova where Aeris dies right? Thats J Life.

But there are bugs in the UW reactor and the Ancient forrest. I've checked the whole game pretty much, and thats the only ones I can find.

oh... And there is a bug in the sunken Gelnika plane too.

Hmm,  i guess it is the difference in pc and psx version then.   Cause when ever jenova attacks with her blue light the game woudl continue normally and then she attacks with blue light again the game just freezes.
 
yep it seems that that was the problem.  There no need to make another scene i'm just testing it and searching for bugs and seeing what interesting things other modders can come up with.  Its a shame that the dual status doesn't work on the psx its a good effect.   

you cast regen while dual is in effect?
 
I started playing through with this mod when I reinstalled. Guard Scorpion was hilariously difficult, but with enough levelling (and items gathered) I got past. Airbuster was a piece of cake in comparison. I'm currently at the Shinra HQ, and nothing between Airbuster and now has been any challenge at all, except the Sahagin which I decided were utterly pointless to even attempt to fight. Hedgehog Pies confusing and poisoning Aeris was kind of funny, though.
 
I´m gonna try this mod out. :lol:

But do enemies have different attacks?
Just wondering. :oops:

The attacks don't have a different pattern or AI, but ca 10% have a differnet effect. Like causing status effect, damages MP, unblockable etch.

This one for sure is looking nice. :)
But, how does it compare with Hay's Reasonable Mod ?

I found Hay's Scorpion Guard to be just the great difficulty for me.
Though, it would be nice to compare both of these mods together.


P.S.:

Hays' are more reasonable to the "main stream" I believe. Mine is a bit "unique" if I may say so. Thats is my impression at least. I think mine is harder and can be somewhat frustrating. The 1st reactor is kinda hard, after that it really doesn't get hard 'till after temple of the ancient (The glacier +). But that doesn't mean it's not a challenge to try it. I found Jenova Birth HARD, but I may had too low level on her. The 1st reactor isn't really that hard if you find the right tactic for it.

You could say that Hays' is a plain 1.5x - 4x difficulty (I think), while mine is 1.5x - 10x difficulty... Or something like that.
 
Okay, got it.

If you could give enemies more/different attacks, then this mod would be nearly perfect. :lol:
 
What program did you use to alter the kernel.bin file? Could you please upload the program so that I could try to use the them?
 
There are topics 'bout one program. I made my own. I don't want to share yet but here is a link to another.

https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/3768/

FF7 Gzip

It's a commandline program. Have the Kernel.bin in the same folder.

This command decompiles I believe:
an_example_folder\ff7dec.exe d kernel.bin

Edit away...

And this compiles the files back together:
an_example_folder\ff7dec.exe e kernel.bin
