Oh well the last one the july one from here on page 1 I think its broken its only 126 kbs, and when i try to use winrar it just says its broken ive downloaded twice now
 
The IRO is fine but the other one is not (which is the one im using, the normal patch) Also if you got somewhere the patch notes for 2 SEPTEMBER   2017s and JANuary 2018 It be great to read them if not, could you tell me if you remember if the only major differences would be the INNATES or do you remember if maybe you added another BATTLE which are my main concern anyways, I think you changed the INNATES from then Cloud had 2nd wind thats the version that Im playing , just curious
 
Checked the links, but the main installer link looks fine; it directs to a 174MB file.

Most of the changes from september/january will be bug fixes, innate tweaks, and other small changes.
 
Hi, I encountered a soft lock. I'm using the latest release version. After completing all Junon Leagues and talking to the guard and selecting "cancel" I can no longer move my character, open my menus, or anything. Is there a fix for this? It was very difficult to get all of those victories and I'm not keen to do it over again.

Sorry about that. I can modify your save file to get the stuff back that you've lost; as for the soft-lock, I'm not sure of the cause. I'll have another shot at fixing it.

Your save file is located in D:\YourUserName\Documents\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VII Steam\user_##### if it's the steam version, or just in the FF7/Save folder if it's 1998/Game Converted version. If you send that across, I can add the rewards into the inventory.

It turns out I actually saved after I finished the first two leagues, so I was able to use Black Chocobo to add in the items I lost for the final league. Thanks for the offer though!


EDIT: On a totally separate note, I found what appears to be a bug. Aeris is using the Wizard Staff, which restores HP on hit. I decided to give her Slash-All to try and apply that effect to my entire team. However, when I hit my team or the enemy team with her staff, she restores 999MP to every member. This is obviously a wonderful and potent effect but unless I'm missing something it doesn't seem like it's intended.

Good to hear it's sorted. The Wizard Rod I think is restoring MP instead of HP, and perhaps a bit more than intended, but it's fine for now.
 
Getting a soft-lock with carry armor.

Happens a few turns into the fight, I quadra-magic ultima, he does this, and that's it. Animations play carry armor is just frozen.

EDIT; Just found out this is a core game bug. Disregard!

Fantastic mod by the way. I've not played in literally 20 years and this is a very enjoyable experience.

Bug Report. I just noticed in Junon Town, the little fishing village area before you bribe the guard to get in, still has Barret, Yuffie, Red XIII, Aries, and Tifa sitting around talking shop. I'm on Disc 2, well after the Weapon attack and the cannon is gone, but every time I visit that area the gangs just outside.

Edit; Every time I talk to Mr Smile to reset everyone to 1, he just gives Cait Sith, Vincent, and Cid more sources, but doesn't seem to be removing any levels or letting me re-spec the other characters. So Cid now has insane stats as I've re-specced a few times, and so does Vincent/CS.

I'm level 75 ish, what should my stats look like? Any way to 'fix' it? (In the meantime I just added up everyones 'source' points in Black Chocobo, cid was at over 900, where as Tifa and Cloud who were legit 8/8 were each at 400, so I just set everyone to have 400 total 'source' points, seems fine enough.)

It's an annoying bug, seems to happen with some multi-part enemies but not others.

I think they're supposed to be there, the dialogue changes as you advance through the game. It was originally intended to have characters visible to be talked to in most towns like in Costa Del Sol but it's only been done for Kalm and Junon.

The reset should only be for the rank itself rather than the sources; it was a debug routine to sort out an issue with ranks being messed up by a scripting change. If you started a game recently then it's best to not use the reset as it was just to sort out a technical issue with players who were midway through the game.

Stat-wise, every character gets +5 to every stat for each rank (so +30 per rank, 240 over all 8 ranks). And then a further +20 to the chosen stats on each rank for +140 for all 8 ranks. So in total it should be +380 for each character.

I'll probably remove the debug routine to reset ranks in the next patch. In the future though, there will be an actual reset feature where you can properly reallocate ranks + eliminate the need for sources themselves to make it a bit more streamlined.
 
Got it. I thought it was a way to re-spec those choices.

As I'm near the end I had some minor questions; at the end of the check SP character list, there's some question marks. Is this for a hidden character? What do I need to do to unlock it, if so?

Second, is there a plan or a way to get control of Vincent back after he limits? I seriously hesitate to use him sometimes for longer fights as he basically loses his attack option and, in some fights that require more tactics/items/magic, functionally can't afford to use his limits. I'm sure there's no way to make him controllable in that state, but what if he transformed, ran through a few form-attacks, then 'died' and re-spawned with full health, clearing all status/buff/debuffs in the process? It might seem a bit hacky, but would work thematically with his passive healing him over time, and actually make using his limits not a liability in long fights.

Third, any way to pick what 'pearl' hits when quadra-all'd? I don't get to select a single target so it just picks one randomly and only hits that thing until it dies, meaning if it kills it in one hit it just stops.

Fourth; Is arrange mode good to go? Should I do that if I enjoyed the base mod? Is the content sufficiently different from the base mod?

Thank you for your time and work on all this, it's a great mod!

The SP list has a debug string in it that was copy-pasted along with the rest of them to all the save points in the game.

I've some notes for Vincent's limits and what I go with depends on what I can get to work; one plan was to do as you said, which is revert him after a certain number of attacks.

Quadra sets a random target when used with single-hit spells; I could look into changing the targeting but I'm not a fan of quadra on the whole and might be trying to do something different with it in the future.

Arrange Mode is ready to play, it's a bit wonky in places balance-wise but hopefully it does the trick.
 
Cool beans!

Other minor thing, in the Dark Cave, when I spoke to the Don, Aries was just standing inside his desk, saying something about how he seems ok now. She was still there after I got Aries out of the church and went back to check since it seemed so out of place.

It's a script issue; there are two sets of models for cloud, tifa, and aeris on that field and one isn't being hidden correctly when it's not in use.
 
so I checked the patch notes for 1.5 and notice that the posts/pages are many on this post so I assume I can just ask here. I am at the fight before Dyne and the body that triggers the scorpion fight is not here like in 1.4. has he been removed from here or did i miss something or do something wrong?
 
He was moved elsewhere, it was a bit cumbersome having a solo fight to prep for right after that one.
 
alright then, I understand. I was just afraid that I would miss him here and never see him later since I missed his trigger or something. Keep up the great work.
 
so another question. I read the readme and there was something there about morphing bosses to get nice things if I have the time and ability to try. So far I have morphed all the bosses I can since Jenova on the boat and none have turned into anything. do you have a list of who can be morphed so I dont waste my time trying to morph every single boss? I dont want to know what they turn into, just a yes or no list would be great. its really slowing me down setting up before every encounter.

Morphable
Aps
Hundred Gunner
Heli-Gunner
Thunder-Gunner
Dark Nation (not possible on Arrange Mode)
Rubicante GT
Illuyankas
Jenova1
Jenova Node A
Jenova Node B
Red Dragon
Demon's Gate


Unmorphable
Human bosses (turks, Dyne, etc.)
Gi Nattak
Lost Number
Materia Keeper
Rapps
Jenova2
Schizo
Jenova3
Carry Armour
Diamond Weapon
Proud Clod
Hojo


There's a long stretch after the jenova1 encounter in which all bosses encountered cannot morph into anything (this includes the extra encounters I've not listed). Remember that random enemies can also be morphed and the larger/dangerous ones tend to have good stuff as well.
 
Thank you so much for this list, I appreciate it. I'm loving this mod so much so far.
