We'll have to see how it goes.  I envision a real issue for the first few weeks....  If it becomes untenable, I'll have to reconsider.  But my hope is that for most people, the new framework will allow for a much easier modding experience.
 
My only concern is the R06 modding framework, I feel it may split the community with some modders supporting reunion and others 7th heaven, as right now 7th heaven I feel is an excellent tool, one can just add mods to it, remove it, all without manual fiddling, its click and play almost.  The only real issue is the main catalog has been allowed to get out of date.

Also you use precompiled exe's which is probably the main reason 7th heaven has been problematic with reunion, hext loading would likely make it work so much better.   It allows much more modularity in selective use of features and co existence with other mods.  But I accept this isnt a 7th heaven thread.  So will stop there, but maybe to hope one day you reconsider your stance on allowing the two to be used together with your support.

I don't really think there'll be a split... sure, maybe some grumbling and grousing, but in software the better solution typically wins (n.b. I am specifically disclaiming the systemd abomination here).  I'm looking forward to seeing what DLPB has in mind as a mod management system since turBoss seems to have lost interest in 7H.  7H has its warts, but as long as mod authors split their work into sensible pieces (one of the very few things I think Remako did right), it's still a pretty user-friendly solution to what would otherwise be a very user-unfriendly task.
 
I see ff7.exe got a lot of edits, could you maybe remove that stupid Square Enix account login check from the Steam version? I was using 7h to basically downgrade the game to the 98 version but I'd rather use Reunion and nothing else.
 
It will be removed because R06 will use the 1.02 ff7.exe  no matter if re-release or original release. But it will also disable the ability to get achievements.
 
That's awesome, who cares about achievements anyway? "Win your first battle", "Use X's first limit break", "Complete the first part of the game"... I'm surprised there are no separate achievements for buying, installing and starting the game xD All for a colored icon on your Steam profile no one cares about.
 
You'll still be totally free to use the Steam launcher and game - which obv won't load R06.

Ha, got one for starting FFVI.
 
Man, reading through the database is a pure pleasure. I love how everyone is so pedantic even about the smallest fixes. I didn't know you're also fixing the psx bugs. Reunion as a whole is a lot more than we could hope even from a proper remaster.
 
I would love to be able to adjust a bit of the menu so the german words would fit into it :/
 
Sorry, just to confirm, R05c still works with Steam achievements, but R06 will not?
 
Grand, thanks for clarifying, installed R05C and it's really great work, thanks so much for everything you've put in :).
 
Possible bug:

I'm at Cosmo Canyon for the first time, and after going up into the laboratory with Bugenhagen, he does his spiel. Right after he sucks the Lifestream from the Planet, it turns dark and falls into pieces. There's a split second where the camera pans outward to show the original wide view of Cloud, Bugenhagen, and your two other characters, and then the screen goes black. The music continues to play in the background, but I have no video. Uninstalling The Reunion fixed the problem.

Details:
Arch Linux with Wine (FF7 installed to it's own 32 bit prefix)
Aali's OpenGL
The Reunion R05c
No other mods installed

Also, an aside: Right before this, Nanaki says to bring one other person, but technically, you can bring two, since you have to fill your roster, right? This seems to be the case both in the original translation and the one here in The Reunion.

Apologies if this was posted previously, but 191 pages is, well, a lot. Thanks for all you do, and I'm loving going back through FF7.
 
This isn't a bug with Reunion.  Check The Reunion database. I've listed the issues with this map there. It's a coincidence that uninstalling R05 fixed it.   The other issue has also been resolved by the proof check by Charlie Beer. R05 translation bug reports should definitely be shelved - R06 has had thousands of alterations.
