By the way i can confirm,  the mod now works with the standard .exe and now i can finally use the 9999 break mod from Reunion R03e Mod :) Well done. I just need to enable Menu Overhaul on top, otherwise the displayed life numbers looks weird (and use the ff7_mo.exe instead the normal one). But after testing it with Black Chocobo Edit, i found out even with 255 atk / mag and with ultimate weapon and bahamut Zero you dont reach 9999+. You need Criticals or Limits or another something special.

Don't use mo_.exe at all, it has wrong equip effects applied to the .exe regarding materia. Use bc_.exe instead.
 
Was Time Flare reverted back to Dragon Force?
I've been trying to get it from the Gaea Dragon but it only counter attack limits with Dragon Force. I'm on the latest version.

Edit: Sega chief already answered on discord, and yes it was changed. Thanks!

Your stats are definitely correct. I'll check Omnislash over when I get home from work, but it seems unusual to be hitting 1-3 damage per hit.

Is there any chance that there's nothing wrong and I am misunderstanding something? Because Omnislash works fine against normal enemies, even the Golden Tonberries. It just does almost no damage against Absolute Jenova, Bizarro, even the behemoths toward the bottom of the Northern Cave. I assumed you did that intentionally, but apparently not lol. I'm most confused that Omnislash did 1 damager per hit with the Ragnarock, and then with Ultima Weapon it does 3 damage per hit. Very bizarre :D hope you're well, Sega!
 
No cut scene. Just a cait sith halfway down the pit on the right side. No interactions at all. I got the highwind and then went to play the video tape in the icicle town labratory just before that. Probably can replicate it just after getting the highwind.

I'll check the script, seems odd that it can be triggered that way. Old testing routine maybe?

I have a question to the damage formular. I am certain you changed it. Its not more like in vanilla. It looks likes the level of the attacker / caster is not important in New Threat and the defense and mag defence stats gained a buff in the calculation since it seems they decrease the damage more as they should. Could you explain the new damage formular?

In the character AI, defence stats get doubled and Level is checked for whether it is above or equal to 44; if it is, then the character's level gets adjusted to help hold back physical damage. There's a tipping point where physical damage begins to exponentially grow as your level gets higher, leaving Magic behind.

I'll check the base power when I get back from work. Sounds like it's too low. Some of the other Lv.4 Limits ignore defence so maybe that would be something to put on it.
 
You can trigger that early? There was no scene or anything? [...] It's intended to be Disc 3 only.

I was able to trigger Vincent's sidequest where he gained Chaos while still on disc/part two. I think I was able to do it immediately after getting the submarine. I had visited it beforehand with him for the flashback sequence via a gold chocobo that I had.

Sega do you have a favourite set piece you designed?

My favourite has to be


Sephiroth / Jenova WAR with the Judgement Day music


It was pure kino   ;D
 
Bug

Possible unrelated to this mod (I am using ChaOS and the steam release).

Cloud has no running/walking animation in Junon HQ, 2F. This is the field with a savepoint after the room with all the computers in junon and before the Junon HQ, 1F (the field with the big banner saying CANNON). When handcuffed barret walked through this scene he animated normally.

I checked this yesterday (when you mean the penalty or bonus to the stats like vita, mag def, hp% etc. when you equip a materia) and it was alright with ff7_mo.exe. Maybe this was a problem with earlier versions and this is fixed with this realease  of the auto edit hex to the .exe?

Thanks, this will explain many things like  the extrem damage reduction of some monster. In Vanilla the max damage reduction via defence/mdefence (when you got 255 def / magdef) was 255/512 = about 49,8% and in New Threat it should be 510/512 = about 99,6%. Its almost god mode^^ But i assume later some enemies will have attacks/magics which ignores defence/magdef.
 
Thanks for the work you put into this mod! Looks amazing :)

Just curious, is there any way to deactivate the innate abilities; I must admit I am not a fan of them.

Thanks!

That's normal I think, as the behaviour and the scene are unchanged from vanilla; except maybe it's a bad idea to have a boss like that available to fight early on. We'll call that a design flaw I've introduced.

My favourite set-piece to design was the Brass Dragon vs X-ATM fight, that usually gets a good reaction on streams and the like.

I'll sort that out, odd he wouldn't have one though.

The auto-patch (aka Hext) added to the IRO means that it injects the code on runtime to the .exe, and as all .exes will usually have the same offset addresses it'll be a lot more compatible than patching over/replacing an .exe directly.

Some attacks do ignore defence but not many. If you can bolster defence close to 255 then you'll get seriously reduced incoming damage, but you need to go for it in the rank options and put the right gear together for it.

This is a kernel that has innates removed:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/0g5trtgw68t5ybs/Kernel.zip/file

The contents of that will need to be either placed in the data/kernel (or data/lang-en/kernel if it's steam) folder. If it's an IRO, then:

1) Unpack the NT IRO using 7th Heaven; it has tools built in for it.
2) Place the kernel files into the unpacked IRO's kernel folder.
3) Repack the IRO using 7th Heaven again; target the folder you placed the unpacked IRO files into and make sure nothing else is in that folder except for the IRO files.
4) Import the patched IRO using 7th Heaven on the Library tab and activate it (don't forget to deactivate the unpatched NT IRO and uninstall it).

Is there another place I can acquire a masamune? I lost the last fort condor battle thinking the boss would drop something, and didn't know winning rewards you it.

You can make one in the same place as the other ultimate weapons; Disc 3, weapon shop guy (blue house on world map near Gongaga).

Yeah my 2nd favourite scene

Sega Chief I was wondering, don't worry is not about the same as last time xDDD I was thinking... did you made an alternative way to be able to get the red submarine or we still have to let ourselves be destroyed in the minigame and lose that huge materia from Junon's reactor? I I've been thinking on this for a while since I like the Red Submarine more than the regular gray one, but at the same time I don't wanna lose any of the huge materia so I can keep getting Bahamuth Zero early without needing to wait until disc 3 to dig it out at Bone Village (even tho with all the content that there seems to be on disc 3 I think that it's not that hard to wait until then, really :/ hmmm

Think I tried it once, I let myself into the area, got the sub, but when it jumped to world map it was a silver sub. So I guess it renders the colour (or separate model) based on some variable.

By the by, if you don't get the blue huge materia then you can dig up Bahamut ZERO from bone village. In NT, the chance I think was set to 100% instead of the abysmal chance in base game. Same with Phoenix, W-Item, etc.
 
can that be done on disc 2? or still has the requirement of disc 3 to be able to dig up BZ?

---edit---

Also Sega you should take off the note that says that you need to replace the .exes when using the iro format of the mod

Not sure, I think it becomes available once you pass the point where you'd ordinarily be able to get it so it'd be Disc 2.

Done.
 
I tried last night with a saved game i made with the red submarine, got to bone town after leaving the huge materia in Bugehangen's house and tried digging it on disc 2, then checked online and it would seem the game checks if you've picked up the Megaelixir that's in that spot first, if you have, then the game checks if you are on disc three, if you are not on disk three you can't dig it up even if you dig on the spot it is supposed to be if you lose it. But honestly with all the content that there seems to be on Disc 3 contrary to the original game, I think it is ok to dig that materia on Disc 3 :) I'm just glad I can still be able to breed and get a Gold Chokobo on disc 2 through breeding xD
