Hello.
Thanks for your work.

I'd like to try the mono mod but the game crash at launch.
If i replace the patched kernel.bin with the original one, no more crash but of course the mod isn't applyied ^^'
Here's the crc32 of the modded kernel.bin : 35EF9E94

Thanks of any help

Hello, sorry for late reply (again)

All I can think of atm is to try and replace your files with original ones and try again. If you use the steam version on windows you can do this by:

1: Right click FF7 in your library
2: Properties
3: Local Files (the tab)
4: Verify integrity of game files

Alternative is to uninstall/install but that would take more time.

Alternative 2
The "Restore backups" doesn't work on the current version for steam. I have a new version here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/xerrube6em70eeg/Gjoerulv-1.0.7.1.zip/file
The restore backups should work with this version.

EDIT:
Oh, snap it was only the kernel. Welp, in that case, are you sure all the other files are original/unmoded? At launch huh. That kinda indicates that the whole file is corrupted and the game can't work with it (ie tries something impossible). You can test this by trying other moding tools, such as wallmarked. https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/5149/ IF this tool can open it, it shouldn't be corrupted.

Thanks.

Done with the kernel.
Tryied from a fresh steam install with no luck.
Tryied from another computer and it worked, don't know why but now it's ok ^^
 
I saw that 7th 2.0 is currently using 1.0.6s in the gameplay mod.
May I know if it will be updated to 1.0.7? (Not sure if I am at the right thread to ask...)

(At the time if 1.0.7 is to be played I may need to patch the file probably rendering incompatibility with the other mods downloading from 7th 2.0? I am not sure)
 
As lazy as I am, I haven't really tried 7h that much yet. I tested out v2 some days ago. If it uses 1.0.6s then it's basically the newest version. You can look at the change log on opening post to see differences.
 
Hello everyone,

I was able to test the FF7 DX with hardcore mode, it's really enjoyable, congratulations for those who did a sick job on it  ;D

I'm on the panther-shaped boss when we get the knight's material from the round table, and every time it dies it says "dead is not the then end ... mother god ..." and it comes back to life. So I killed him maybe 10 times, I tried to give a megalixir but nothing works. A little help?
 
He resurrects (kinda) but it's finite (about 12 times or so?); each resurrection has 1 of 6 special attacks, some of which are deadly as they have special damage formulas (one is damage = amount of HP lost which will hit for 9999 once he's taken this much damage). You can make things easier with status ailments; things like Stop and Sleep should all work. Hades Summon should work well, or Cauldron items if you have any. Otherwise the conventional status spells should do the trick.
 
Frogs are fascinating creatures.

Killing him in 1 move each time is what you want. Best thing is to get into a rhythm, not allowing him to act at all. He always revives as a reaction to anything, that is, after he is killed, he will revive after the next move, be it your own or not. Try timing accordingly. He has 12 lives iirc.

Ah thks bro' you are so cool  ;D
 
I'm playing it on Twitch (don't know if i can link my channel), i'm at the third fight againts Locke, Theo and Venus. I'm training a bit because they hit hard :c
Btw i want to ask: Ruby and Emerald are killable without KOTR?
 
Hello,

I've played through this mod several times, and I recently reinstalled it using 7th heaven with the "hardcore" gameplay mod setting (which I was led to believe was equivalent to installing this the old-fashioned way.)

Everything SEEMED to be fine - I fought the extra boss in Shinra tower (locke, venus, theo) and the other bosses were as hard as I remembered them, but when I got to Cloud's story in Kalm, I was not able to control Sephiroth during the fight with the green dragon, and he auto-killed it in a single crit. That's not how I remember that sequence going. Is something wrong with my copy of the mod? Is the 7th heaven version not actually the correct version?
 
It may be some conflicts in the kernel via other mods perhaps. Hard to tell, but do you have any other gameplay mods on in 7H?
 
No, I had no other gameplay mods installed of any kind. Fresh ff7 install with 7th Heaven 2.0 on top, a few model/texture mods, and the Qhimm gameplay suite with your mod selected.
 
7H may be using a version that had that "bug".
In any case, the only changes worth talking about is in v1.0.7, and even those are quite minor (except that final boss nerf).
The flashback was never hard in this mod. There is an extra boss at the reactor, but that one is quite easy.

I'm guessing it's the same, but it does sound weird you don't have control of sephiroth.
 
Got it, thank you!

Do you know who I could bug about getting the 7th heaven modpack version updated to the correct one?
 
That would probably be me. But, imo, these versions are ~99% identical.
One other thing from the top of my head though, iirc, 7H can crash/hang on certain encounters at Nibelheim mountains with this mod. Not sure if that's still true.
 
Where can i farm sources? I can find them only in the gelnika. There is some other monster some where that can be morphed into sources? I need expecially power sources!
 
Heya! so i feel like maybe i missed something. is there an IRO for hardcore yet or is it still the hard install only?
 
I did the battle square and killed the final monster there but i didnt get any final attack materia, i also want to source farm but thats hard because some morphs must've been changed i think, the nibel mountains dude (with the ball and chain) next to the reactor doesnt morph into power sources :c
Is there any documentation on what drops what and where to get certain things ?
