It most likely won't from what I've seen. I've been cleaning up the NT's flevel though so at some point in the future I might put out a special version of NT that uses the retranslated dialogue from Reunion. I ran it by DLPB and he seemed cool with it. But for now I'm working on the Arrange version of the NT mod which uses an .exe patch.
 
You could work nt mod with reunion thanks to 7th heaven, just need to wait the updating of the 7th heaven's catalog and nomaly the two mods should run perfectly; whereas without 7th heaven, i don't know if it's possible.
 
I have installed Reunion over NT and ATM is work well  :-D.
But Ive some problem to defeat the first Jenova, Ive a lv21 party and I make less damage than energy her can drain.How I can do?

I'm creating patches for it right now (Wall Market + Proud Clod features). So far I've run into snags, but I think it's because I'm doing it late at night after working all day and doing family stuff afterwards. By that time, I'm pretty tired and lose my focus quick. I'll let you know how things come soon enough :)

Are there any dialogue changes/additions in NT?

There's quite a lot of new text, and some changes were made here and there to existing dialogue (most of the story text is intact though). Are you needing a list of which fields have alterations?
 
That list would be great, yes.

Have you seen these script fixes from the Reunion mod? Have you done anything with them in NT?

Code: [Select]
Code: 
                ancnt1 / ancnt4: Corrects Vincent's animation  blin67_2:  Fixes Tifa infinite Love Points bug  canon_2: Fixes story skipping glitch  chrin_1b: Aerith missing dialogue in dream sequence   reinstated Cloud/Aerith no longer turn to face   Reno by accident. Other changes to fix Cloud/   Aerith interaction with Reno  chrin_2: Fixes issue that led to removal of Gongaga cut-scene  condor2: Losing cut-scene properly scripted and localized  cosin1_1: Fixes Barret infinite Love Points bug  del1: Allows player to talk to NPC on boat  delinn: Fixes incorrect behaviour with Barrett cutscene  elminn_1: Inserts missing Barret dialogue   if not in party when receiving PHS  elmin4_2: Fixes old man's dialogue so that all three are shown  fr_e: Possibly to correct animation speed during FMV  fship_4: Fixes menu access bug after talking with Yuffie  gongaga: Tifa/Aerith Love Points   check is now >40 and not >120  goson: Fixes the mayor's dialogue to show up correctly  hyou8_2: Fixes infinite Elixir issue  jtemplb: Aerith/Cloud now correctly exclaim at the same time  las2_1: Removes stupid "secret cow"               added with 2012 version  lastmap: FMV is now full length and not chopped  min51_1: Some TV dialogues originally   had little chance of being seen  mrkt2: Fixes jittery scrolling on first entry to Wallmarket  mtnvl3: Second soldier's dialogue is now accessible  nmkin_2: Door will now open and shut for Jessie  ncorel: Allows player to talk to NPC at shop  psdun_2: Enables Aerith's dialogue when skipping Kalm  sichi: When proceeding north,           you are not returned to world map  sky: Scene can no longer hang due to bad async  trnad_2: Missing Cloud scene reinstated  trnad_4: MP Turbo materia is now blue instead of yellow
EDIT 2: I spoke to DLPB about the Beacause portion of his Reunion mod. Toughscript is stopping its field map patching at around 195/729 or 196/729. It's tough to say for sure because it closes too quickly to see the exact number and there is not form of logging. DLPB says that Toughscript will do this when there is an error in the field script. I would like to work with you on getting Reunion Beacause to install over top of it and get it working together with New Threat. If we can get that flevel to be patched correctly, then using WallMarket and Proud Clod to patch the kernels and scene bin files is easy enough to teach you.

Is that asking too much?

Let's see:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
ancnt1 / ancnt4: Corrects Vincent's animation-) Also fixedblin67_2:  Fixes Tifa infinite Love Points bug-) Was aware of it but never got round to it.canon_2: Fixes story skipping glitch-) Also fixedchrin_1b: Aerith missing dialogue in dream sequence   reinstated Cloud/Aerith no longer turn to face   Reno by accident. Other changes to fix Cloud/   Aerith interaction with Reno-) Wasn't aware these were errors. I've got a big change on this screen as it's used for an alternate ending screen.chrin_2: Fixes issue that led to removal of Gongaga cut-scene-) If this is the scene/convo with Barret in Gongaga, then also fixed.condor2: Losing cut-scene properly scripted and localized-) I think I reformatted the dialogue here because it didn't fit the windows properly.cosin1_1: Fixes Barret infinite Love Points bug-) Didn't know there was one.del1: Allows player to talk to NPC on boat-) Nope.delinn: Fixes incorrect behaviour with Barrett cutscene-) Wasn't aware there was an error here.elminn_1: Inserts missing Barret dialogue   if not in party when receiving PHS-) This was missing? I remember seeing this dialogue naturally. Maybe PS1?elmin4_2: Fixes old man's dialogue so that all three are shown-) No, but I've revised the script/text to handle three new battles here.fr_e: Possibly to correct animation speed during FMV-) Not done anything here but add Aeris.fship_4: Fixes menu access bug after talking with Yuffie-) Never knew that was a thing. Just added the command to fix it now.gongaga: Tifa/Aerith Love Points   check is now >40 and not >120-) I think I adjusted that check as well.goson: Fixes the mayor's dialogue to show up correctly-) Also fixed.hyou8_2: Fixes infinite Elixir issue-) Definitely fixedjtemplb: Aerith/Cloud now correctly exclaim at the same time-) Oh! Didn't know they were supposed to :Olas2_1: Removes stupid "secret cow"               added with 2012 version-) 1998 flevel so that's 'fixed' by default. Maybe I'll add an actual secret cow level...?lastmap: FMV is now full length and not chopped-) Didn't notice it was chopped. Script was adjusted here to handle Aeris.min51_1: Some TV dialogues originally   had little chance of being seen-) I'll check those out some time.mrkt2: Fixes jittery scrolling on first entry to Wallmarket-) Nothing I noticed.mtnvl3: Second soldier's dialogue is now accessible-) Nope.nmkin_2: Door will now open and shut for Jessie-) Have not fixed ghost Jessie's ability to phase through doors.ncorel: Allows player to talk to NPC at shop-) Not sure what this means; was a talk script busted?psdun_2: Enables Aerith's dialogue when skipping Kalm-) Oh yeah, this one. Don't think I fixed that one.sichi: When proceeding north,           you are not returned to world map-) Wasn't aware that you could exit by the north, I always exited via the south.sky: Scene can no longer hang due to bad async-) Didn't know it could hang.trnad_2: Missing Cloud scene reinstated-) That when he says the line that Rufus and co. are here? Nah.trnad_4: MP Turbo materia is now blue instead of yellow-) Yeah, that always annoyed me too so I changed it to blue.
Edit 2: I read the post on the Reunion thread. If it's because of a script change (the scrolling thing) then how would I go about fixing that? That field (195) has some changes on it that are needed for some things to work like party leader swap + a countdown associated with the dark cave sidequest. I could apply the scrolling fix to that field manually, but wouldn't TS just crash there again anyway?

That's what I'm not sure about. Toughscript doesn't have any kind of error logging, so you'll need to edit it and send that field map to me. I can put it into the flevel and test the Reunion install again.
 
Ok, I'll compare it to a default field and then prepare a fresh one using the latest Makou tool.

Edit: I just tried running Reunion (the text + script fixes) over an NT data folder and it seems to have patched correctly. Thing is, it overwrites all the NT stuff.

What I don't understand is, how is this installer that was designed for the default flevel going to patch over a mod that has different script and different text without messing things up? One thing for example is how Reunion deletes all the blank/unused entries for text so those are all different, which I've got to assume means that anything added by NT for text is just going to be deleted or at least misplaced too?

Sorry bud, missed this post originally. Try using the Earth spell for 2x damage, or combine it into someone's weapon with Elemental for 2x physical attacks.

So NT + Reunion does work? I'm a little curious (and concerned) now; when I patched Reunion over NT, it overwrote all of the NT field code.
 
Hey Chief! I'm as far as Rocket Town now, and on the way past Nibel I noticed that the Nibel wolves' "howling ability" is a lot of fun. Status effects like 'toad' still affect them when they revive, they are still "sense"d and (sadly) cannot be morphed for more tents. They do, however, give more EXP/AP for each KO, and so can be a nice way to grind a few levels if you are so cheesily inclined. With "haste" on the reviving buddy, the process approaches sonic speeds! Now I'm not sure how much of this was intentional, as monster-summoning battles are a staple of the series (for grinding), but I thought I'd share!
Really enjoying the changes, and I've been pleased with the number of battles that have caught me out a bit, but not actually killed me before I could adapt (like Powersoul Keeper), and I LOVE the Force Stealer! (Life steal is one of my most favourite effects ever- I love the Blood Sword)
 
Yeah, Nibel Wolves (and Bandersnatches AKA Icicle Wolves) have AI that add their EXP onto a value whenever they're killed again. If they're proving handy for farming EXP I could add a new type for the Crater or something.

I'm alteady use Earth but do not remove more than 350hp, I will try it again.
I have apply NT on vanilla installation and reunion on NT, I've assumed it work cause do not crash.
 
It's not really so much about crashes, but about missing content new to NT. For instance, did you fight the Turks in the Mythril Mines? There should have been a new mini-boss fight with Rude and Elena in there. But if that fight was missing, then there's a good chance that at some point you might encounter either a crash or the wrong boss (Jenova Death for instance).

Anyway for me the first Jenova boss remain too strong...
 
I put together a vid guide to give you a hand with Jenova Vector:

The video description runs through her attacks, weaknesses, and methods for dealing with each phase. One key thing to make use of is Barrier, your party's Row (casters should be in the back; only physical hitters with no long range weapon should ever be in the front row), and some of your new(ish) Materia like Gravity and Choco/Mog.

WOW, I do it ;). TNX.
 
Hey whats the current location of Stilva/Magic Breath? Did a lot of needless wandering in Gaea's Cliff tonight expecting I'd miss it if I pressed on too soon.
 
Stilva is in the blue interior areas of Gaea's Cliff, specifically he should appear in the room where the Icicles land to form platforms. He might appear on other Gaea screens but that's the screen where he should appear for sure; however, he doesn't have Magic Breath anymore, just Beta. Magic Breath can be gotten from Malboros in the Crater.
