Gotta say, sounds good to me. You're the pro man I trust you you to make it as great as you always do.  8-)

Do you have an idea when you will be done with making the Arranged mode more difficult?

Not sure, I've got FF8 on the go as well but I can work through FF7's files a lot faster than the FF8 ones. I'll see if I can get it done in a month.
 
Would it be possible to get the mod notes uploaded somewhere else like Googl edrive?

When I try to download I get locked into an infinite ad loop and have to close it. I wanted to read the notes while I watched my friend play this.
 
No issues or anything like that. Just wanted to post that the New Threat mod is fantastic. Just got a proper gaming PC and this is only my second time experimenting with any type of modding (first was Skyrim on console) and this mod has shown me how great and fun playing games with mods can actually be. FF7 is my favorite game ever and being able to run through it again with new, well done gameplay tweaks and subtle story changes, like Aeris..yeah i said "Aeris"..surviving is like a breath of fresh air. The visual mods i have installed definitely help with that as well. I'm about half way through disc 2 and am having a great time with it. It can be difficult at times but i don't mind the challenge. To the creator of the mod, you did great work. I'm sure you'll keep it up, and i'm looking forward to the FF8 new threat mod that i read you're also working on.

Sure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18BH_PX891oIkg6lGFE5SSB_bBjaq0TOI/view
Should be downloadable, let me know if not.

Glad to hear that; I'd recommend checking out a tool called Ochu as well. It can toggle/unlock the FPS of this game to make it smoother/faster (along with other features): https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/9593/

Nice, the FPS unlocking definitely piques my interest. Everything else seems a little too gameshark-y for me though lol. May be good for a "just for fun" playthrough. I wanted to ask though and i forgot in my previous message, I've been looking for double cut materia and your where is the thing doc says it's in the ancient forest but i couldn't find it anywhere. I also picked up 2 apocalypse swords from there, one at the very beginning right before exiting the first area and one in the chest at the end before entering the cave. There's also a frozen NPC inside the cave that i can't interact with so i was curious if maybe it's bugged.

Multi-Cut is in the last chest before entering the cave at the end of ancient forest (cave screen is supposed to be used elsewhere but been having trouble getting it not to load). Apocalypse is in a chest in the Gelnika, so I suspect you're on an older version; are you playing NT from the 7H Catalog?

Yes I am playing from the 7H catalog. Since i'm basically brand new to modding i don't really know any other way. Even with a step by step tutorial from youtube i still initially had quite a few issues getting 7H to run correctly lol. Don't know if it should've been updated from there or that one is out of date and you need to install the new version manually somehow but i do remember that when i first started the playthrough and it wanted me to choose a difficulty it said "New Threat Ver. 1.4". Since this whole thread is about 1.5 i'm clearly on the wrong version, don't know why i didn't notice until now. Kind of sucks because i would've liked to play the latest version but i'm still having a lot of fun with this one. It does explain why a few things aren't as they're supposed to be according to your docs. At the northern cave now at level 94 getting mopped up by everything i come across like i'm somehow still underpowered as hell. Good times lol. You wouldn't happen to remember where the double cut is in the older version would you? I'm basically at the end of the game and still haven't found it. Definitely feel like that 4X cut will give me a little more of an edge going up against those beasts at the northern cave. Hopefully it isn't somewhere in the battle arena because that place is giving me a whole bunch of other issues. Have yet to beat the regular battle a single time. I'll get it though..eventually.
 
Thanks a ton that worked way better.

Is there a full changelog anywhere detailing everything or just broad strokes like this has?

Thanks again either way for your great work on the mod and for a quick reply.

Edit: whoops like it had a spreadsheet in the faqs. I just couldn't see it from my phone sincei. didn't have any way to view it lol. Thanks a bunch.

Hi everyone

When I try to rank up with Mr Smile, but the sources only give me +1 instead of +5.
If I understand it right that's a problem with my .exe, but I can't changed the it because mine is the french version ff7_fr.exe and there is only ff7_en.exe in the emergency files... I don't know what to do.

Send me your .exe and I'll figure out the offset.
 
There it is:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/k0zlq76r9ov8kh0/ff7_fr.exe/file

Big thanks for your help.

Also, I noticed when I wanted ro rank up, there is 5 choice for each character, but only 4 are in the Readme file, even if I've got the last version. Is there a complete list of the rank's choice ?
Click to expand...
Just an update, I'm working through some of the offsets. A lot are easy enough to find, but the sources will take more time as the hex string from the english .exe doesn't seem to be exactly the same. I might need to ask on ff7.fr to get some more information.
 
Hi sega chief absolutely loving your mod.
I had to reinstall it after a re-occuring freeze bug
and now I can't seem to use SP to class my characters they are all stuck at 255/200 too.
Im not using any other mods and using the steam version which was updated recently
I will try using the delete registry keys mod and another install
any ideas what could be causing this?
 
if a game updates on steam for any reason it also automatically verifies game files and replaces any modded file with vanilla. If you are using 7th heaven you need to run the game converter again and grab another copy of the NT exe. If you are using the NT installer you need to re run it and grab a copy of the NT exe.
 
I did uninstall it re-download it and then used the NT patcher 1.5 july 2018
which fixed the first issue.
but Im going to try again with the registry deleter when I get the chance
 
edit: The registry deleter said no keys deleted I tried again with a brand new install
and still dosen't seem to be working still. I always run everything as administrator.
its no big deal really since I believe I can use ochu or a save editor to give myself the missing sources
everything else appears to be working.

Was wondering if someone can help me with an issue i'm having. I'm pretty much at the end of the game and now i'm just trying to grab everyone's level 4 limit, but when i go to get Tifa's limit from Zangan at the nibelheim reactor, nothing triggers and he just tells me to be careful like we've already fought or something. Just for reference, i'm on the 1.4 version that runs with 7th heaven. I wanted to try the newest version but i was already way too deep into the game to reset it to 1.5 when i noticed, and i was still having a ton of fun with the older version anyway. I've researched on ways to fix this but i keep coming across mediafire links that don't work anymore, and the guy who resets quests on the highwind doesn't seem to be able to fix it, he just keeps asking me about Cid's limit quest which i haven't even done yet. I'm also very new to modding so i apologize if something like this seems obvious. Any help would be great.

1.4 had an issue with that variable trigger if I remember right and it'll behave as if it's already been finished. It'll be tough to fix as the IRO uses flevel chunks rather than complete field files. One thing you could try is:

- Download the IRO from this thread's front page and import it to 7H from the Library tab.

- Deactivate the 1.4 NT IRO and activate the 1.5 IRO.

- Run game as normal and load your save; do the sidequest and nothing else (avoid using rank-up for instance).

- When finished, save the game (to a separate file) and then close game; deactivate the 1.5 IRO and then reactivate the 1.4 IRO.

That should allow you to get the quest done without any issues popping up. But it's important to avoid using rank-up while on the 1.5 IRO as the variables handling that screen were changed.

Thanks Chief, that allowed me to do the sidequest. Got Final Heaven and going to finish the rest. Great mod man. After i'm done with this playthrough i'm going to try to learn a bit more about modding and mod/play more modern games, but i definitely will be be giving your other NT mods a run through. The 2.0 version that you've posted about sounds pretty great, and the FF8 NT mod has my anticipation level very high as well. Is there an ETA on those?

No ETA currently, I'm afraid. Things are changing a bit on the job front, got an offer for a new one so my schedule will be changing a bit.

Hey I beat NT Mod 1.5 (just amazing mod btw) and hit "uninstall" in the 7thHeaven Menu to play Vanilla FF7, but after I did that it seems like in Vanilla FF7 the materia values are off. Example, Fire, Lightning, Ice materia takes off -10 Vitality and some other stats, I don't think that was a default value in Vanilla FF7? Using the Overhaul menu mod 7th Heaven so I'm using ff7_mo.exe in the file location, but maybe the values are overwritten in that exe? Or maybe I did something wrong?

EDIT:
I changed the file location exe to ff7_bc.exe and the materia stat values are back to normal. Not sure what happened but ff7_mo.exe had the same materia values from NT 1.5 mod even though I hit uninstall.
Click to expand...
I think those materia values are in that .exe by default which I don't understand.
 
Hello all. Playing 1.5 currently (i believe newest update or second newest).  Is heaven’s Cloud still only found through Iron Man?
