Hi there, I've been a longtime lurker on these forums. Almost every time I replay I've used the mods here to improve the game. I downloaded and installed 7th Heaven and while it is really cool, after reading about Beacause I had to play it.
I just want to say thank you for the dedication and effort you've put into this, and every fans effort that led to this being realized.
I was wondering if you would consider a small install notes in the first post like:
1. Install game(maximum install for 1998 version).
2a.(1998) Extract official 1.02 patch into install folder. [Does the steam/2012 version need this?]
2b.(Steam) Run the game converter for full mod compatibility.(Some mods do not require this, read descriptions)
2c.(2012) Run the game converter for compatibility.(Reunion will not work at all with this natively)
3. Extract ff7_opengl-0.8.1b into install folder.
4. Run The Reunion installer.
5. Launch the game from the FF7+.exe and enjoy.
I was wondering if I just drop the FMV's into the data\movies folder(Maybe that should be step 5. Create a movies folder inside of data in your FF7 install folder and paste in the retranslated FMV's). Maybe a suggestion for a higher quality FMV pack as well, I'm planning on using cmh175's, unless you recommend something else. This could also solve the issue's of using different video's from different versions and getting different results.
Also Aali's driver is not easy to locate, its only available through a reup on one of the last pages of his thread for it, do you think he would be against you having a link to download it in your thread?
Last but not least I'll try to post anything I come across, this game is so close to being perfected and I'd love to help iron out anything left.
1. Chocobo&Moguri has the original BOOM!!! graphic in it, I'm pretty sure I've seen a HQ version in one of my playthroughs, most likely in a bootleg mod, could you add that in easily?
2. Bugenhagen says to grab 1 other person for his planetarium machine even though you can bring 2, I'm guessing this isnt a translation error, probably wrong in the japanese game too.
I'll continue to play and post anything else, again, thank you for your efforts, I cant wait to see what R4 with the original menu looks like. I like the ff9 style battle menu for the most part, except for the spell stacking, it takes much longer to select spells when they're listed in a single column instead of how the original did it, which was 3 spells wide. I'm not sure you plan on keeping the Menu Overhaul up to date, if you do decide to make it its own project again maybe you could widen the spell window to take advantage of how well theyre listed in the main menu.
