Not sure if it's a vanilla FF7 or a NT thing,   but Yuffie is in my party and seems to start with a nearly full ATB gauge every fight,   then it gets reset to 0 when no one else's does,  not sure why

Vanilla thing. I think that's a bug with sneak attack or something.

Edit Edit: I have another question, where am I to find W-item and Double cut? I have done all battles but the Platinum battle in the Golden Saucer and I'm guessing one will be there? my guess is W-item because I saw someone actually us double cut on the platinum battle, so my question is where would I find Double cut, the sheet I have says you get it from the gold match but I already did that twice and it gives me Gospel spark.

I think double-cut might be in ancient forest, someone will need to verify that as I won't be back until tuesday night to check the files.

Just got to Cosmo Canyon and Cloud seems to be stuck on rank 1/8 even though I've ranked up multiple times,   also Cait Sith ranked up like 3-4 times after I got him,    not sure if that's normal,   everyone else seems to be ranking up normally,   any way to fix this?   Running the steam version with 7th Heaven.

Edit:   Read something about an NPC on the Highwind that can fix it?   Not sure if it's still a thing cause it was from 2018,   and how do I know how many rank ups he's done and what rank he should be?

The latest installer/IRO should have the cloud issue fixed; cait, vincent, and cid start with a few free ranks to catch them up with the others though so don't worry about that. Highwind fix was for something else.

To check how many ranks cloud has had, if you open your save file in black chocobo save editor it'll show the number of source points expended on the character for each stat. All stats get +5 per rank plus some get an extra bonus depending on what option(s) you picked; so if a stat you didn't buff has +10 or something, then we can assume that cloud has had 2 upgrades used on him.

Hi again Sega Chief. Thanks for your post before about the two-headed boss - I managed to beat him first time after I changed a few things with my strategy

Different question this time: I seem to have missed the Deathblow materia which is in the Great Glacier, according to the file in the folder. Is there any way for me to get it now? I can't get back into the Great Glacier and I was looking forward to finding that materia ever since it didn't shop in Gongaga as usual
Click to expand...
You can still get it, on Disc 3 (or maybe disc 2 when cloud rejoins?) the glacier becomes accessible again.

I feel like a new one is definitely long overdue lol, some thing are still the same but soooo much is different on the current version.
Click to expand...
Yeah it is. I'll be updating the documents properly with the final update, will try and do a sweep of the current documents when I get back.
 
Double-cut (now called multi-cut) is in the ancient forest. Alongside slash all.
 
Micro engine is from a boss in the Dark Cave. Talk to Dio in the battle square to start the quest.
IIRC King Behemoth still gives Spring gun clip, maybe just a drop or a steal.
Starlight phone should be a standard drop from Master Tonberry.
Click to expand...
Starlight Phone DID drop from Master Tonberry like you said ty.
I've already done the dark cave quest, I wonder, is it one of those items that you DO actually possess but is just invisible in the inventory?
Finally I tried tried for the spring gun clip by stealing from the behemoth several times, killed it loads, and as previously stated morphing didn't work,the only thing that dropped for me was the behemoth horn on occasions, is it like a super rare drop or something?

I can confirm this, I later tried after some digging, I completely skipped it because I was unable to do the last battle.

Awesome, looking forward to it.
 
Sega Chief, Oi, is there any way we can edit the number in the ranks to match how many times Cloud has Ranked up? I mean because last upgrade i did for cloud he was still rank one and I've upgraded him twice so far so I'd like to set his rank to 2 instead :/ some way I can fix it myself?

I just tested it, I stole Spring Gun Clip from King Behemoth in the Northern Crater. I don't know if this mod still has multiple items to steal but I always steal with a sneak glove (gotten from wall market, the NPC that sells the battery) if that makes a difference. I'm not sure why morphing him doesn't work for you but you get a behemoth horn from morphing. Are you on the latest version?
I'm pretty positive you acquire Micro Engine from Dark Cave. You get it from the boss in the sewers where you find cid. The boss is a vehicle sprite even. I've never checked if it appears in my inventory though and I already made the premium heart.

If you have an issue with Cloud not ranking up then you have to update your mod. Sega Chief left it for debugging purposes and forgot to remove it I believe.
What I did when that happened to me was calculate how much time I've rank up using black chocobo save editor, since it tells you how much sources you used. Each rank is +50 stat IIRC.
Then when you're feeding the sources you can exit out of the menu and you have the choice not to use them. So on your 8/8th rank up, you can just toss the sources out instead of using them, you'll still rank up.

I've got the latest release of the mod (IRO format) I'm asking because between the first time i ranked up cloud and the second i changed from a previous iro to the latest one and so far I haven't ranked up to check if he ranks up properly or not, I just know when I ranked him up a second time the game told me he's 1/8 instead of 2/8

Yeah it should be ranking up normally then. Just toss the sources out on your final rank up since you only got one extra rank up.
 
I'm having an issue where the dialog boxes for Sephiroth in Shinra Mansion are not showing up when Cloud finds him in the basement.  It appears to be an incompatibility with the Reunion - Menu Overhaul and Beacause that comes prepackaged with 7H.  If I turn "Because" on, I don't get the issue, but then I don't get the dialog from NT either.  I like your dialog better than Beacause.

I feel like it's because in Reunion, using Menu Overhaul by itself is supposed to use the FF7_mo.exe, and the FF7_bc.exe is causing the issue when Beacause is off.  Could you include an FF7_mo.exe to be compatible with NT and MO?

Nate

Yeah I tried again, I tried several times to steal that didn't work, killing it rarely rewards me with Behemoth Horn, and I tried morphing once more and that didn't work either. I believe I am on version 1.5, I tried the trick by starting a new game suggested by Sega Chief, which did in fact confirm I am on version 1.5, so I'm quite puzzled.

Edit: I don't exactly want to but I'm wondering whether I should just spawn one in, I mean I have done all the stuff you've listed, maybe a bug or something idk.

When you go for Multicut


in Ancients Forrest  equip all Characters with Headband (Sleep Protect) you can buy it in Gongaga. After you open the chest where you find Multicut a Bossfight starts and the boss put all character of you into sleep. I died in few seconds, first time.
 
+15 on 3 stats so I'm assuming that means I've ranked up 3 times,   still says I'm 1/8,   I did download the latest IRO for 7th Heaven so no idea what I'm doing wrong?

Yeah I'll throw the ff7_mo.exe into the hextedit + add a file to the IRO hext for it.

For stealing, I think a Sneak Glove is required for the crater. I'm going to make a quick listing today of where to find all current stuff and put it into a notepad to temporarily replace the documentation.

+15 may mean you picked that stat to be buffed. Best way to check is to look at the lowest stats as those will always increment by +5. If still not sure, I can look at your save file for you and make sure it's correct.
 
I put this together for enemy skill, ultimate weapon drops, etc:

Should be accurate, let me know if anything is incorrect or missing.

Edit: Also, thanks to D.M. for the donation.

In regards to the enemy skills:

Dragon Force is Time Flare in NT 1.5 as far as I know, and can be acquired from the Gaea Dragon in adition to the Crater Dragon.

Magic Hammer is Vital Hammer in NT 1.5.

Cheers.
 
We were around the islands today; ischia and then procida. Lot more peaceful than the city itself, but when we got back we hit up some street bars and the like. Think we're going to pompei tomorrow but there's apparently going to be a thunderstorm, so should be interesting. Think we're trying the square on Tuesday.

If Excal II comes in, then it'd have to replace another sword Cloud has. There is a modding framework called sister ray that can extend the number of weapon/armour slots (and many other things) but that's not released yet. So that could be a feature specific to that. Or I could do some juggling with 7th Heaven to get it in there.

[OT]Hope you enjoyed overall Napoli experience.[/OT]

Interesting the sister ray, is there a topic about it?

Also pardon me if already being discussed and not workable (I was unluckily trying with search function), just wondering:

Is there any chance for a New Game+ ? Or is this some rocket science for the FFVII engine?

I think in the latest files, Time Flare was reverted to Dragon Force. I got Magic Hammer's name wrong but location and acquisition method should be same as vanilla.

Yeah, it was good; we went on the 'walk of the gods' from Bomero to Nocello on one of the islands, visited Pompeii, and checked out the square you mentioned. We didn't see the veiled statue but went to some of the art museums in Naples and visited that cemetery cave with the skulls inside.

Sister Ray has a channel on the Qhimm Discord; it's a full reverse-engineering of the game and has a lot of progress in it already.

As for NG+, it should be possible but I think it'd be better to make that a feature specific to Reunion and Sister Ray version cause the savemap will be modifiable for a proper NG+.
 
My main stat is +45 so I've definitely ranked up 3 times,   any way to fix it?   It's said 1/8 every time,    everyone elses rank ups are normal.
 
Sup, just figured I’d drop in and see if the PS version of this mod is still possible/still happening.
