Has anyone else had trouble with Gaea Dragons? I feel like I'm missing a component of the battle because they just keep healing and healing. Any suggestions?

Edit: I figured it out =D

I'm assuming what I just encountered was a bug but I'm not certain. I was doing Junon League Brawler Cup and the first enemy uses Obsession first turn. I was using Tifa and her health dropped from dual insanely fast, but when she hit 0, it said grit was triggered though she remained at 0 hp and now the battle appears to have soft locked. for several minutes, I have been at 0 hp, getting no turns, but still alive.The enemy keeps acting, but nothing kills me.

Edit: The dual effect finally ended after an extended period of time and now I'm at 0 hp but am not dying, and still getting turns, so it seems I'm unkillable in this scenario.

Interesting, I've experimented with 0HP characters in the past and they tend to be invincible until their HP is raised past 0 again. Were you getting no turns due to the Manipulate status? That attack also inflicts this status which might account for the no turns. As for the invulnerability, I'll test if this is always the case due to Dual-Drain and add a line to remove this status if Tifa gets KO'd.
 
Where could I find Iron Men? I'm trying to gather things for ultimate weapons and can't find him. In the vanilla game he was only past the point of no return according to the wiki.

Also where could I find the Planet materia? IIRC the where is the thing doc said it was won from the silver match at gold saucer but I got final attack instead.

Iron Giants were added to the encounter list of the Left-Down path in the Crater (the screen where you used to have to jump/grab Mega-All).

Planet Materia's location was moved; it's obtained from the Forgotten City altar in Disc 3 (need to visit the bottom of North Cave beforehand though, to set the Game Moment to 1998). I don't think I intended to put Final Attack in for the Silver Match though, that should be for the Special Battle. I'll have a look.
 
Ah, nice. Thanks.

I could have been wrong about Final Attack. I did both the silver and special matches so I might have got 'em mixed up.
 
Yeah i think the manipulate is what caused the lack of turns, though it lasted much longer than i expected. Once i hit 0 hp i never healed, just let it ride and death never happened.
About chocobo racing, sometimes, maybe 50% of the time the races move at super speed. Is there any way to enable that so it always happens?

Not that I know of, but people were trying to fix this bug so maybe they'll be able to make it always happen as well.
 
I'm not sure if this has already been discussed, so be safe I'll bring it up now. When trying to fight Lucrecia behind the waterfall in Disc 3, the game would softlock when approaching Lucrecia with Tifa as party leader. Tifa will walk up to her but nothing else will happen. I did this twice and both times it softlocked. When I switched my party leader back to Cloud, the scene progressed as it should, and the battle began. I'm not sure if this happens with Cid as the leader (as I didn't test it), but I'm assuming so.

I think it was mentioned, but I didn't get around to it. Must be similar to the Priscilla thing; I should be able to fix it.
 
I have the Square Enix version of the game, the remaster released, bought directly from Square's website. I downloaded NT just a few moments ago, had no issues with the install. However, as i was encountered by the first two enemies, it sent Cloud to a battle field that was outside, on a grassy plains, with three very powerful enemies (that are not the MP) that kill me in one attack. I don't understand why it's doing this, and I'd like some help so I can enjoy this mod.

That's a kernel - scene.bin synching problem. Most likely cause is that one or the other hasn't been patched (probably the kernel) due to either some kind of security issue or maybe a different language installation (an extra step is needed to make it work with French, German, or Spanish versions). Are you running the main installer unblocked + as admin, and is it the english version of FF7 you have?

Edit: New IRO is up.

I'm running everything unblocked and running as an admin. I'm running it on windows 7, in english.
I should probably mention that I used Wallmarket to edit a few minor things, very few. (Made all Cloud's weapons look like the Buster Sword, slightly altering base stats, and changing HP divisors for Limits) Would changing those be the thing causing my issue, and is there a way to revert it back to normal without having a backup of kernel.bin or kernel2.bin?
 
Any changes you make to the kernel need to be checked against the scene.bin. To do this, you need to run the PrC tool (proud clod) and open the game's scene.bin in the lang-en/battle folder. Without making changes, click File then Create/Save and it'll prompt a check of the game's kernel. Confirm and direct the tool to the kernel (I think the default is for the 1998 FF7 PC kernel location but it should let you direct it to the Steam version's kernel if it can't find this). If it finds that they're unsynched, then select yes and it'll adjust them.
 
Alright, I did that and PRC said that everything looks to be in order, and the scene.bin has been successfully saved. However, I ran the game and the same scenario occurred.  https://s31.postimg.org/6ik9abna3/FF7_EN_2016_07_16_01_38_20_163.jpg
This is the image that appears when the first battle occurs. I followed your instructions down to a T and even still this is occurring.


Edit: The creature does about 1500 damage to Cloud, and attacks before i can choose an action.

Edit: I attempted creating the scene.bin before i installed the mod using my clean backup data, and after doing another installation of the mod. The same battle still occurs.

This happened before recently for another user; for whatever reason, certain files wouldn't patch correctly (usually the kernel). I'll send a PM.
