thanks, also
do you think the translation of ff8 was adequate or should someone do a re translation?
also what does the script fixes for flevel.lgp do?
should i uninstall and reinstall with that option selected?

Again, see the readme.

FF8 was reasonable (but much better localized than FF7), but still had a ton of mistakes.
 
Dan, which files inside of the world_us.lgp does Beacause modify?
Click to expand...
the ev files, which hold the text box sizes and X Y positions (Only 2 of the 3 ev files are edited, since they are the Great Glacier and Overworld) and "mes", which holds the text.  Both are edited by touphScript.  Originally, you had to edit these with hex editor.

Note, the Great Glacier only has one text from what I remember (The "I'll leave a landmark and start walking" one).

We do not yet have a proper World Map editor like Makou, so the exact nature of how it all works is still not easy to see for the ordinary modder.  Pretty sure Aali has a good idea.

I tried installing numerous times and it still has the same problem, it's only issue and I haven't modded it with anything else. Does Beacause simply not work on the Steam version? Is there an older version I can use?

The Reunion is only compatible with 1998 English and Steam English versions ( that's from 1st post )

I think your problem here concerns the Menu Overhaul. Maybe try with a fresh install of the game ?
 
MO won't install on Steam if Steam option is selected.  I am not sure what it would take for the option dialogues to be specifically ruined.  Likely some issue with touphScript encoding.... or some other issue with the files.  Either way, there is something the user has done wrong. If this was an issue from my side, this would have come up a dozen times already.

I am guessing that Beacause hasn't installed at all really... and that the dialogue boxes are not the only issue.

I'll be removing all the crappy linkbucks ads from everywhere as soon as the current amount reaches 10 dollars (because it won't let me transfer before this amount).  It's currently on 8.

It did install and all the text in the game is updated; the item and materia descriptions, the dialogue, and all the menus work fine. I got up to meeting Aerith and that's when the problem first showed up; I can move the cursor and make a selection, but all you see is an empty box like in the image I uploaded.
I used black chocobo to skip to a variety of places and test it in other parts of the game, like in the Chocobo farm where Grean asks if I'm crossing the marshes and mentions the Midgardsormr, and in the flashback in Niblheim where you can get the 'slightly stretched underwear'... everything works except I just can't *see* the dialogue options. It's playable but very frustrating like this >_<

That was the steam version, now I tried it on the 98 version today and I got the *exact* same problem! It isn't modded either (an accurate translation is the only mod I'm really interested in at the moment), these are the original CDs I bought at a pawn shop. Is the Menu overhaul a requirement for Beacause? I'm quite certain that none of my antivirus software is blocking anything, and I tried running as admin as well. .. I can't understand this :c
 
No, it isn't.  Beacause works fine on Steam version and has been play tested by others. Your issue is baffling and seems to be a consequence of something interfering with the encoding process.  Interfering with touphScript.  Or a bug with ts of some sort.

Re-run the installer but at the end, do not close it.

Navigate to the root folder and enter dlpb-mods

Find the touphscript log and tell me what it says.  In fact, tell me what ALL the logs in the dlpb-mods folder say.  Dlpb-mods will only exist when you run the installer and let it finish but again... do NOT close the installer at the end.

Also, please upload flevel.lgp from your game folder, so I can look at what's going on.

Oh, and if this turns out to be a fault that could have been fixed by reading the readme, I am going to murder you by putting my hands around your neck and removing your air supply. :)

Here are logs: http://pastebin.com/8epREeFw
all it says for toughScript is 'Registry values found:SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII
No FFVII installation found' Does it only look at the registry or am I missing something?

Here is the flevel.lgp: http://www.mediafire.com/?cfu6vz2ohouzk6h
 
Where is FF7 installed on your PC? Or to be more precisely, do you have Steam installed under Programs/Programs(x86)?
I ask this because windows has for it's folders a special write protection.
 
Hi, I have seen other difference between your translation and japanese version.

It's on junbin4, when Cait Sith stunts Scarlet.

Barret says:
---TEXT020---
{BARRET}
“Huh? Sleeping gas?”

In japanese is:

{BARRET}
「なにっ？！　さいみんガス？」

According the dicctionary:
http://tangorin.com/general/さいみん

It can be: Sleeping gas.

Besides if you are near from her and speak her, she speaks and she is not sleeping.

It can be other kind of gas?

Nah, it's sleeping gas.  Scarlet carries on speaking but she is clearly falling asleep / incapacitated.  You can also hear the sound of the gas if I recall.  It's very unlikely to be anything else.

@Marsibil

Try to install game to a proper place, as suggested and see what happens.

Running the installer as Administrator might also be worth a shot in that case.
 
I installed in 'c:/games/Final Fantasy VII' like other threads recommend. I uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, I ran all installers as admin... but it's still the same thing. I have no idea what I could be doing wrong. I've tried both Steam and 98 versions so there might be something with my system but I have no clue what it is :c

The flevel you provided has been encoded properly.  The options are there and so is the text. I have no idea what could cause your issue.

edit:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
05-CodeFixForOrig.txt (..\ff7_en.exe) Changed: 0Replaced: 0 Errors(1):Line 1 (05-CodeFixForOrig.txt): Filesize mismatch.
There is your issue.  Your executable ff7_en.exe is not correct.  Are you using a pirated game? (or let me rephrase.... it looks very likely that you are using a pirated game).

I have a doubt in a sentence in the field southmk2 in text number three.

I don't understand what the character means with the "fireworks".
Does he mean about the explosions caused by Avalanche?
