Hello! Sega Chief, I found a way for unlimited sources  :-[


If I reset SP ranks to 1/8, my stats are the same (They don't change from 8/8 to 1/8) so if I go to 8/8 again, I'll have max stats (If I do it a few times)

The rank reset function on the Highwind doesn't reset stats because it isn't possible to do with the fieldscript (at least, not the normal fieldscript). The purpose of that reset was to debug an issue that came up with the variables used to track ranks in an older update a fair few months ago, but as a side-effect it meant allowing more sources than intended being made available. The script issue with rank tracking has been resolved since then but save files that had already used the rank system at that time needed to have their vars 'flushed' in order to fix it.

There's no restriction on using the debug script, I left it to player discretion rather than implementing any kind of check for whether it had already been used (or needed to be used); the script will probably be removed soon though as the issue it was designed to fix has probably been caught on anyone affected by now.
 
Sega chief, you are an absolute legend. I just wanted to say thanks, I absolutely love this mod.

I have wanted to mod FF7 for years but the background textures were always a deal breaker. The new AI ones have finally fixed that and I got diving into New Threat. So many moments have had me laughing out loud and the boss fights actually have me using items that I'd normal "save for when I need them" and end up using in the final fight just because they were there (or not use them at all). I just got to Costa Del Sol but I have having an absolute blast.

Huge shout out to this entire community in general. I feel so lucky to come along now, after these mods have matured so much, for the first time and experience my favourite game of all time in a completely fresh way. I feel like a child again, I don't think I've been this happy playing a game in years.

Thank you so much. Seriously, I can't properly describe how much fun I'm having!!
 
i'm playing on switch, everything seems to be going great but now that I have arrived at the moment to go down into sephiroths cave, when i reach the bottom, I instantly get teleported to the chocobo room on the highwind...not sure what to do

I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far; your post cheered me up a bit.

hmm, seems to happen only if cloud isn't leader

I think there's a problematic script that was used a ways back to get people unstuck in the Crater when playing as Tifa/Cid. I thought I'd removed it, but sounds like it's still firing. Only Cloud should be used for the North Crater for now until I can fix it up.
 
If I cheered you up then that's just 1% of the joy you brought into my life haha. Is there anyway a randomer like myself can help out? Do you have a donation link? Or any mod related work that needs another set of hands?

Btw, what is "arranged" mode? I got to the point where you meet the guy at the gold saucer railcar that says you can change to that mode (and there's no going back) but it doesn't really explain it. I tried googling it but all I got was people kinda talking about it, rather than a specific answer to what it is. As far as I've gather it's like a heightened difficulty mode? So far I've been finding the difficulty much more engaging and enjoyable, although I've only died once. So should I go for that mode? I enjoy the more difficult modes in games but I'm not sure just how much more difficult that mode would be? Like would I be going from a 1 to a 10 or a 5 to a 10? (if that makes sense haha).

Thanks again, hope you're having a great weekend. I really can't thank you enough.
 
hey there... just downloaded the mod but i have some issues, the game launcher doesnt launch the ff7 game (i'm using a cracked steam version), the launcher does nothing when i press play (in the task manager i can see the ff7_en.exe just open and close when i click the play button)

what i did to install and play:
1-made a backup of the data folder
2-run the mod installer as admin
3-mod installed without problems
4-run the game launcher
5-problems...

Buy the game before you ask for help. All mods here are built around legit copies. ~ EQ2Alyza

Arrange was intended to be a slight hike in difficulty + some fights remixed for a 2nd runthrough of the mod. It'd be like going from a 1 to a 2 or 3 I guess. Normal mode is more stable and you don't miss out on anything playing one mode over the other.

I'm currently working on a final update to the mod which has a heavily revised arrange mode in it, so I'd wait for that to drop before trying Arrange mode and stick with the current mode.

Perfect! Looking forward to it.
 
just bought the game, installed the mod like before and it still doesn't works
 
heya segachief. so im trying to figure out how im supposed to get the chocobo-related enemy skill? l4 suicide not being a thing anymore is kinda throwing me off. matter of fact....any chance you could update your documents to reflect most recent builds? there seem to be a few inconsistencies lol. at any rate i appreciate you and your work and i noticed you finally added the ability to choose whether aerith lives or dies. well done.

Best thing to do is delete all files from the FF7 folder, do an uninstall on Steam's end to get the registry sorted, then install it in a location that's outside of program folders (these are system protected and can create problems). After fresh install, try running the game as-is to make sure it's operational.

Run the installer as admin/unblocked as you did before, selecting the FF7 folder rather than the data folder (older tutorials ask for data folder but the new installer needs to get at the .exe).

Mod needs the following files for Steam version:
ff7/data/lang-en/battle/scene.bin
ff7/data/lang-en/kernel/kernel.bin + kernel2.bin
ff7/data/Field/flevel.lgp + char.lgp
ff7/ff7_en.exe

If game won't run after installing the mod, but was running without the mod installed, then try dropping in the default version of each file one at a time and attempting to run the game. This will help isolate the cause of the problem.

The .exe for Steam should be 6272KB in size; if it's larger/smaller then something isn't right. The mod will work with a default ff7_en.exe but you'll get less sources than you would normally (though the mod can be beaten without any sources at all).

It should work as before, the chocobo checks for the ID of the attack rather than the name/purpose of it and the skill should hit any chocobo in its current state. I think you still need to use Mimitt or Sylkis Greens though to set it up, then hit them with the Enemy Skill that replaced L4 Suicide.
 
does it still have to be a certain level chocobo? cuz i hit a level 15 with the move and it only pissed it off lol.
 
Hey Sega Chief

Do you keep a list of which models/textures you've added as part of your mod? IE: Yellow/Black Relentless X-ATM boss we all know and love, as well as Curator etc
I'm assuming as an organized guy, you do. Would you be willing to share that list with us?

Should work on any chocobo from any area, but I tested this on the Ranch ones; use Mimitt or Sylkis greens on the chocobo first, then while it's eating hit it with any attack. Mimitt only lasts for 1 turn though, so after throwing the first it's best to have a second turn queued up ready to throw a second just in case it's turn is used to cancel the eating animation (it has to be in its eating animation when the attack lands). I checked the AI and it seems that it no longer checks for an attack ID, just that it's attacked while eating Mimitt or Sylkis Greens and will use chocobuckle on the attacker, so have the character with enemy skill equipped attack physically or throw a grenade or something.

Yeah, of course. I'll start on a list now. Mostly all the new models start after the last battle model in the default .lgp but in the early days I replaced some of the duplicates that appear throughout the archive so I'll need to check through the whole thing.
 
Here's the list; note that it contains spoilers so read at own risk:

All told there are 141 new models in there but some are unused as they were either cut during an update or never implemented.
 
Ugh, you're the absolute best, thank you! Doing something fairly cool with this list, if all goes well I think you'll be happy!

EDIT: My labor has borne fruit!

That's a nice clean-looking palette swap; I could try adding a toggle to the NT IRO so that they can be used with a graphical enemy replacer mod or something.

Thank you. Working at replacing all the models with HD versions and your customs needed a little love!
 
I'm currently going thru the dark cave side quest from dio on 1.5, I've gathered up everyone and went back into the sewers, the area where cid and the boss were has been replaced by a car, and I got  stuck down there, had to restart from last save..
