[FF7PC-98/Steam] Multiple mods and Modding Framework-The Reunion [R06f]

[skyhawk]

Appears to have installed and be running without issue. Thanks DLPB!

Thank You for your hard work, I did encounter some kind of glitch that I didn't notice in r06. Sometimes after exiting a battle the victory music with loop infinitely, the only way to stop it is to reset or go rest at an Inn.
I didn't apply the hotfix to the new build, is that still required?

post app log kaiden... though that resolution is very high for this game

I know it's a high res for an old game lol. But for full screen it says to use desktop resolution and that's what mine is.

 

[DLPB_]

I may add an option to set a different res since that desktop resolution of yours is total overkill.  Try changing in your graphic driver and see if a lower res fixes it.

 

[KaidenJames]

I changed my desktop res and game to 1440p. Same thing. Game running but only an icon on my taskbar. It's weird because Reunion disabled runs at 3840x2160 and the 98 version converted had no issues either.

 

[DLPB_]

try by renaming ini entry for post processing file so it isn't loaded. try also various options.

 

[skyhawk]

Is there any way to "undo" the FF7 Game Converter workaround for the Steam detection issues and install R06c "clean"? At some point I uninstalled FF7 + Reunion and reinstalled them, but I noticed that I did not need to use the Game Converter again to get Reunion to recognize FF7 that time, so I imagine whatever the Game Converter did is still loaded somewhere on my PC, and I'd like to get rid of it if it's no longer needed.

I'm running the 1998 CD release, but as I understand it Reunion now supports both the CD release as well as the Steam release. The only thing that needs the converter now is the Squeenix Store release.

If you're still worried, I'd suggest Uninstalling FF7 from Steam, zapping the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Final Fantasy VII directory, and then reinstalling from Steam. Make sure to keep a copy of your savegames or anything else you want to keep, especially given the apparent flakiness of Cloud saves.

Try running in a Window and see if that works?

full_screen = n
window_x = 0
window_y = 0
window_width = 1440
window_height = 1080
preserve_aspect = y

I dunno how to add my favourite mod :c
Simply download your favourite mod, per example let's download any remastered field and copy paste all the field folders in The_Reunion, CUSTOM, none, Texture, field
C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII Steam Edition\The_Reunion\CUSTOM\none\Texture\field
then go in The Reunion folder and open Options.ini make sure you have written Mod_ID = none

I would argue that using a mod_id of 'none' is not a good idea, as I believe the default is NONE. You're setting yourself up for confusion.  Use a directory and Mod_ID string that is meaningful or unique. Mine is named 'remako' as it's the Remako assets plus a bunch of music that I looped up myself. If I ever need to disable my mods for troubleshooting, I just comment out Mod_ID = remako in the config file.

 

[DLPB_]

pretty sure the modpath name ignores case.  none and NONE are the same and unused

I found a solution for screen tearing without using vsync (usefull for speed changes). Run the game in windows mode, vsync off and run this autohotkey script to make it bordeless fullscreen:
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/114598-borderless-windowed-mode-forced-fullscreen-script-toggle/

Nice release! Most crashes I had are fixed. But I did have some weird crash when a field would not render properly and after exiting, it crashed. Noting I'm using this AI upscale mod: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/13454/

I didn't get the log or anything but if it happens again I'll be sure to post it.

However when using the new translation, even though I checked most options including the canon, materias, items and magics have new names. I like some changes like -ra -ga instead of -2 -3 in magics but some changes like property materia, ether turbo, etc. didn't sound good to me. So, how can I only get the new traslation without those changes? How can I do that after installation (I couldn't find any options of the installer on .ini)? And how can I alter some magic names for myself?

 

[holey]

First of all, thanks for the amazing work! this has been a great way to re-experience ff7 after all these years.

Almost all of the issues i had with R06 are gone now, i've been playing a while and the only 2 issues i noticed using R06c are that: sometimes the victory fanfare gets stuck after a battle and the only way to fix it is to either sleep at an inn or reset the game, and the weapons seller at Cosmo Canyon is still the original model. Any other issues i run into ill post here.

please leave mirrors off a few days.  need Torrent to be healthy first.

Hi!

First of all, thanks for all the hard work on getting this update out the door.  However, I've got one little issue:

Using the upscaled field, battle, and magic resources from Satsuki's collection (https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/13454/), in R06 w/hotfix, everything worked as intended, but in R06c, textures from "Kela51's Magics (corrected) 1.03" which fall into the texture\magic\ff7\battle\ family of subdirectories no longer work in combat.

I saw the change to allow main battle textures to load from texture\battle\ rather than simply texture\, and those all work fine after moving them over.  Textures loaded from texture\magic\ w/ no additional subdirectories also seem to work completely fine.  Examples are that Cloud's basic attacks and level 1 limits, Cure, and Fire all use the high res textures, but Tifa's basic attacks and limit breaks, Thunder, and other spells default back to FF7's low res resources.

I spent a couple of hours trying various different locations for where the magic\ff7\etc.etc. directories might need to go (battle\magic\ff7\, or just ff7\etc.etc. in the main mod directory instead of in texture, GLOBAL\Texture\magic\ff7, etc.), without success.

So the obvious question is if anyone happens to know if there is a new intended location for these resources to go in this version, or if there may actually be a bug preventing these resources from loading correctly.

Thanks!

Installed R06c and so far everything is OK

Using along side Remako HD and the Chibi version of chars from this mod:
https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy7/mods/4?tab=files

Remako HD I installed by unpacking .iros and placing them in the Reunion texture folder
The chibi and battle chars from the mod above I had to unpack the .lgp put everything in and repack the .lgp from the original game's data folder.

Great work everyone involved in Reunion, you are the fying best!

 

[DLPB_]

There's gotta be a few bugs here?  Where are you guys to ruin my day?

So, how can I only get the new traslation without those changes?

You can't.  Ra-ga etc are canon names and also correct to Japanese.  Your only option is to use touphscript and manually change them - and also change ff7 exe text (see base folder) and adding it to a custom folder (better than editing base as i always overwrite it with install). 

touphscript version will be out soon that supports R06c.

Also, you know the drill by now for posting bug reports.  See the first post.

This is intended to install over a Reunion R6 installation, correct?
I'm still missing gunfire effects in the early-game battles.

 

[DLPB_]

for some reason it seems to depend on combination of enemy - or it's randomly happening.  Is this a bug in original game?

I'm running the 1998 CD release, but as I understand it Reunion now supports both the CD release as well as the Steam release. The only thing that needs the converter now is the Squeenix Store release.

There was a problem with R06 where it wouldn't recognize the Steam version on Windows 10, and the workaround was to run the converter normally used for the Squenix release. That's supposed to be fixed with R06c, but I want to be sure the the workaround is completely undone if it's not needed anymore.

If you're still worried, I'd suggest Uninstalling FF7 from Steam, zapping the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Final Fantasy VII directory, and then reinstalling from Steam. Make sure to keep a copy of your savegames or anything else you want to keep, especially given the apparent flakiness of Cloud saves.

That's what I did, and R06 (pre-c) was still able to recognize it without using the converter again. From what I can tell, the converter does something in the registry. Does anyone have any info on what keys it installs so I can manually remove them?

 

[skyhawk]

for some reason it seems to depend on combination of enemy - or it's randomly happening.  Is this a bug in original game?

Seems to be related to 60fps. Results are frustratingly inconsistent as I try to narrow them down.

With 60fps disabled, gunfire works as expected

in 60fps mode1 and mode2, sometimes gunfire renders and sometimes it doesn't.
I've noticed that even when it does render, it doesn't 'flash'. It just appears as a solid consistent texture until it goes away when the gunfire stops. I'm speculating that sometimes it's just doing the opposite - the "off" stage of the flash is just rendering for the entire duration of the gunfire.

From what I can tell, the converter does something in the registry. Does anyone have any info on what keys it installs so I can manually remove them?

There's not very much in the registry for this. Open Regedit, go to the root of the registry, and 'Find' for 'fantasy'. Carefully F3 through the results, and edit any you're worried about. (There's about two dozen as I recall) I think the only thing of consequence that might be impacted would be a path pointing to a non-Steam install location.

How are you quantifying "recognize"? By the installer automatically picking the correct install location? That doesn't mean much. Just point the installer to where the game is actually installed and see if the result will run correctly.
