Well, the only reason for which I would have the save fixed is to see if stats were really bugged. My tifa literally oneshotted the boss in the Gi Cave in Cosmo Canyon with her limit O.o (I think it was before the upgrade to 1.5, though...)

Don't worry with the save. I thought that playing the first part of the game a 2nd time would bore me... instead, I found it funny. Even if get the save back, I would proceed with the arrange mod anyway.

Thanks  :-D
 
Thanks! But I'm still curious - why is it called "Arrange" mode and not just hard mode?
 
I know it's gonna be a while for 2.0 but are you gonna upload the balance changes you posted earlier at least? Been waiting to continue my FF7 game. If its gonna be a while even for those, guess I'll jaut continue with 1.5 then. But thanks for making this mod in general though broski. I'll probably just weather the wait hoenstly ?
 
Thanks for your quick answer Sega Chief.

I am not using any other mods, only new treat 1.5. vanilla combat.

Today I downloaded a save editor named Black Chocobo to try and bypass that event, it kind of worked, but then I go back to that area and tried to play the arena mini game and the game frezze the moment Cloud enters the arena (screen goes black, music continues playing but next screen never loads), so I guess maybe is a problem especific to that room or screen.

I also experience a weird glich in the mytril mine, when I started the battle with the Turks, instad of Elena and Rude, the game loaded three weird monster with 9999 HP, gliched name, and that were completly inmovile, after killing them the game continued as normal.

It would be nice if you could do a little clean up of the vanilla combat version, so people that dont desire a harder game could still enjoy the other great content that your mod as created.

Thanks again and have a great day  :)

Because if you call something hard mode a lot more people would start with that over the other mode.

Yeah I had a maintenance/respec patch in the works, but it got sidetracked. I'll try and get that done before the end of the week.

The turks fight is something I missed when removing the new fights, that should be fairly easy to sort out (what loaded instead was one of the debug fights in default game; they're usually pyramids but models were probably different).

I'll need to check in on the battle square field. Maybe a default one was imported in to get the battle IDs default but something went wrong with it.
 
Hey I also wanted to let you know about any glitches I've come across so far.

-the spirte that says the saw the ghost of aeris shows up immediately when you leave the church area then walk back in at the start of the game
-cave of gi cosmo canyon trigger for fort condor seemed to be glitched and doesnt register that the players has any gil. they display how much they have in funds (27000 in my game) but then ask for a minimum of 4000 and wont trigger the battle when >ready is chosen. might have something to do with having under 4000 gil when talking to them before teleporting?
-music during the cait sith intro scene cuts out randomly. reloaded and approached the wonder square from a different junction point and it didn't happen again.


Wanted to ask some more things, too. Just cleared mt. nibel and was wondering
Armor Soul is supposed to use Trine ? It strictly used physical attacks. Silenced it and removed silence but didn't see anything.


Also, where do I find
Deathblow Materia
, and is it possible to get
White Wind without Manipulation
early game?

It actually should. You mean the Powersoul Keeper/Armor Keeper (in Arrange)? It's part of its move set and i got it in both of my normal / Arrange runs. Iirc it used Trine when it got under..40%? Not sure and i can't read the AI script. :(

Deathblow Materia
It can be found in the Great Glacier - where the old added cut was.

Technically if you get the item mirror, you can cast Reflect on Black Dog in the Rufus fight and learn it with Cloud. But it's not possible to get this item early. So no.
Although you could grind until your Barrier materia gets Reflect if you don't mind losing your sanity.  :mrgreen:

Sweet, thanks for the response man. Can't wait for the changes, also glad I at least won't have to wait for 2.0 even if it takes longer then a week. (unforeseen circumstances do happen).
 
Not sure if anyone has suggested this before, but was thinking it would be interesting to see the summon materia revamped a bit by having each materia grant some sort of unique stat buff(&debuff?). right now I basically felt no incentive to use them at first glance outside of grinding mobs which I've yet to really do.

Was also going to ask if there are any important new materia combinations or interactions
 
I'm not so fond of summon either.

I was stuck with the keeper in Mt Nibel. That "thing" hit like a truck!

Nice idea, removing the powersoul. It was a lame equip. It's removed only in arrange mode, or it was removed in 1.5 from the game?

It uses Trine at a fixed HP point I think, but that was likely missed due to Silence being on. I think you can get it from the Thundercracker/blue owl enemies on the first screen of Mt. Nibel though.

Deathblow was swapped with Added cut, so you'll find it in great glacier. White Wind was learnable early on but you need Reflect; the boss that used to drop a Mirror for that purpose no longer drops that item though so it probably needs Barrier to be leveled up once now which is a bit of a grind.

There are some left-over materia stat-equip brackets so some extras could be added.

Powersoul is obtained on normal mode by beating Powersoul Keeper, on Arrange its dropped by Satans Gate. On both modes, one can be grabbed from Shinra HQ on Disc 2 from the item store chests.

There's patch notes in either download, in a .txt labelled september 2019. Will post in a spoiler as well.


FF7 NT V1.5 - September 2019 Patch


\\Battle//
One of the iterations of SOLDIER 2nd enemy had a bad Attack ID lookup that was escaping the tool check due to the way attacks were being set through a variable rather than explicitly. This has finally been sorted out.

General attack/defence reduction for random encounters in the North Crater. The three bosses on the routes were also adjusted. Drain attacks were removed mostly.

Goldberry group reduced to 3; it's the end of an era.

Balancing performed on certain Arrange mode bosses, particularly Satans Gate.

Gun enemy has had camera adjustment.

Status ignoring attacks have been modified and mostly removed.

Adjustments to Lost Number bosses


-) Summons were buffed; higher base power and the stat-equip effect was changed.
   Summons now either boost Strength/Vit/HP, Magic/Spr/MP, or Vit/Spr/HP/MP
   at the cost of the other stats.
   
-) Enemy Skills
   Magic Hammer: Renamed to Vital Hammer to better represent its Drain HP effect
   Dragon Force: No longer reduces defence, just gives Haste/Berserk/Auto-Crit
   Antipode: Single-target, to fix a persistent camera issue

-) Initial Stats
   Tweak to starting stats of each character
   
-) Items
   Elixir set to magic formula to prevent Cover bug
   
-) Weapons
   Stat buffs on certain weapons increased/altered
   
-) Armour
   Tweaks made to Dragon Armlet, Warrior Bangle, Fourth Bracelet, and other end-game
   armour pieces.
   
-) Materia
   Stat bonuses/penalties tweaked


\\Field//
Fixed that Aeris in the desk problem in dark cave.

Elmyra no longer appears inside the Reactor in Kalm

Dialogue box resizing for shinra HQ staircase

Floor 59, issue where Cloud could become stuck after getting the key due to a save point
script clash was fixed by moving the script fromk cloud #12 to Cid #4

Forgotten City; returning to the altar after the fight there resulted in softlock.
Main script wasn't jumping to end but instead triggering script intended for Aeris
scenes earlier in game.

Cave of the Gi Disc 3; coming here without Red XIII would result in game moment getting
set low, and a softlock would quickly ensue.

No longer possible to leave via north exit in last screen of dark cave, which would
result in softlock on world map

Issue in Junon Leagues where the Zack cutscene would play under certain conditions
Issue where selecting cancel would result in softlock

PHS option removed from Weapon Raid Save Points as swapping out Barret, etc. would
cause scripts to crash.


Unchanged/Unreplicated

Fort Condor NPC at Cosmo Canyon seems fine with gil check; older version perhaps?

The dialogue:
“I saw her!
   I really did!”
“This woman just disappeared!
   Right there around the old church.”
{NEW PAGE}
“I waited around a long time,
   but she never came out again!”
{NEW PAGE}
“I tell you{, }it's one of them
   …haunted churches!”
   
This is playing at the intended spot. It's referring to Aeris going into the Church,
but then exiting from the roof during the escape from the Turks, but is also a
reference to the 'ghost Aeris' easter egg that appears on Disc 2/3. If I keep getting
bug reports about it though then I'll just change it for peace and quiet.


//NT Vanilla Combat

The issue here is that an import performed on one of the fields went wrong, and left it corrupted. I reimported the field and it should be working now.

also I can't see in the item spreadsheet any entry for the Zolum. was wondering if I could morph it? >:)

noticed another couple small things. choco bill talks to you about leveling up the chocobo lure materia in the main house but that's not a thing anymore. also when aeris is missing from the party before bone village she will still show up in towns like junon lol

also was wondering what point in the game / level you should be at before attempting Junon leagues? Also wondering at what point it'd be important to grind the gold saucer for stuff like touph ring

If it hasn't already been mentioned, it doesn't look like Garudas ever use Aqualung willingly. I spent about an hour hanging out in battle trying to convince them to use it, but it just didn't happen. In the end I had to use Manipulate.

Cid's "Dragon" limit doesn't seem to restore HP/MP when used against specific enemies. Those lizard dudes around Wutai, specifically- I haven't gone out of my way to test it against other enemies.

There's an apparently known issue with Cid's "Hyper Jump" limit. When you use it against an enemy that's immune to instant-KO, the game crashes. Is this fixable via modding?

I see the double-Reflect soft-lock is still alive and well. Is that also fixable through mods somehow?

I'm about to dig up the Lunar Harp in my game, and the command materia I've collected include 1 Enemy Skill, 2 Steal, 1 Manipulate, 1 Throw, 1 Morph, and 1 Sense. I got a Command Counter materia FOREVER ago, and it's just been collecting dust because none of these are particularly useful with it. Did I miss a command at some point that would have been useful with Command Counter, or is it just normal to get Command Counter long before you ever get a useful command to pair it with? I'm assuming that Enemy Skill and Throw just plain don't work with it since they open menus, and nothing else is consistently useful throughout a battle- you'd generally use Steal and Sense at the start of a battle, and Morph isn't really "counter" material; you actively seek out or create opportunities to use it for farming purposes.

On a balance note, am I missing something, or does Red XIII just get the brunt end of the stick when it comes to weapons for a BIG chunk of disc one? Before Wutai, the strongest weapon I had for him was the Howl Comb with 31 Atk, but only 3 single slots, and the best weapon for slots was the Silver Barrette with two pair and a single, but only 27 Atk. Meanwhile, the other characters are generally getting access to much stronger or more useful weapons with bigger bonuses, like Barret's W-Machine Gun and Enemy Launcher, or Tifa's Powersoul and Motor Drive.

Also, I never got the "Fort Condor Battle Available!" reminder after getting the buggy. Dunno if this is a known issue or an isolated incident.

I think that's it for now. Will come back to this later.

P.S. I notice there is a new IRO for New Threat. I'm using 7th Heaven; how do I patch this in? Do I just swap out the IRO file and Launch Game, or do I have to do something different? Will doing so mess with my current save and force me to start the game over?

I tried my best with the formatting. Hopefully this helps out with the materia and armor changes. Sega Chief, if you would like, I already updated the Materia changelog you had in one of the versions I downloaded, I'd be happy to shoot it over to you if you want to add it into your pastebin for the community.

also I can't see in the item spreadsheet any entry for the Zolum. was wondering if I could morph it? >:)

noticed another couple small things. choco bill talks to you about leveling up the chocobo lure materia in the main house but that's not a thing anymore. also when aeris is missing from the party before bone village she will still show up in towns like junon lol

also was wondering what point in the game / level you should be at before attempting Junon leagues? Also wondering at what point it'd be important to grind the gold saucer for stuff like touph ring

Leagues are like Disc 1 for the first, Disc 2/3 for the second and third.


If it hasn't already been mentioned, it doesn't look like Garudas ever use Aqualung willingly. I spent about an hour hanging out in battle trying to convince them to use it, but it just didn't happen. In the end I had to use Manipulate.

Cid's "Dragon" limit doesn't seem to restore HP/MP when used against specific enemies. Those lizard dudes around Wutai, specifically- I haven't gone out of my way to test it against other enemies.

There's an apparently known issue with Cid's "Hyper Jump" limit. When you use it against an enemy that's immune to instant-KO, the game crashes. Is this fixable via modding?

I see the double-Reflect soft-lock is still alive and well. Is that also fixable through mods somehow?

I'm about to dig up the Lunar Harp in my game, and the command materia I've collected include 1 Enemy Skill, 2 Steal, 1 Manipulate, 1 Throw, 1 Morph, and 1 Sense. I got a Command Counter materia FOREVER ago, and it's just been collecting dust because none of these are particularly useful with it. Did I miss a command at some point that would have been useful with Command Counter, or is it just normal to get Command Counter long before you ever get a useful command to pair it with? I'm assuming that Enemy Skill and Throw just plain don't work with it since they open menus, and nothing else is consistently useful throughout a battle- you'd generally use Steal and Sense at the start of a battle, and Morph isn't really "counter" material; you actively seek out or create opportunities to use it for farming purposes.

On a balance note, am I missing something, or does Red XIII just get the brunt end of the stick when it comes to weapons for a BIG chunk of disc one? Before Wutai, the strongest weapon I had for him was the Howl Comb with 31 Atk, but only 3 single slots, and the best weapon for slots was the Silver Barrette with two pair and a single, but only 27 Atk. Meanwhile, the other characters are generally getting access to much stronger or more useful weapons with bigger bonuses, like Barret's W-Machine Gun and Enemy Launcher, or Tifa's Powersoul and Motor Drive.

Also, I never got the "Fort Condor Battle Available!" reminder after getting the buggy. Dunno if this is a known issue or an isolated incident.

I think that's it for now. Will come back to this later.

P.S. I notice there is a new IRO for New Threat. I'm using 7th Heaven; how do I patch this in? Do I just swap out the IRO file and Launch Game, or do I have to do something different? Will doing so mess with my current save and force me to start the game over?

Hyper Jump breaks on the Steam version about half the time (although for some it's all the time); on the latest versions of the driver this has been fixed but isn't available for the steam version unless you convert it into a 1998 install (same process as preparing game for 7th heaven, except you just run the game through the ff7.exe instead of the 7th heaven mod loader). The reason Dragon and Hyper Jump were swapped was so Steam users could learn both limits without having to try and get through the Hyper Jump problem.

Command Counter isn't too great at first; I usually pair it with Steal or something. It was a bit more useful when Deathblow was in Gongaga.

The reflect glitch, assuming it's the one where you cast Reflect on all party members and all enemies then use a spell that targets all, has no current fix but maybe DLPB has.

That notification pops up while reading the letter from Dio prior to being placed in the buggy on the world map.

Just deactivate the old IRO, import the new one through the Library tab, and then activate it. Save file carries over.

Oh yeah, the documentation that I forgot to update again. That'd be useful.

No sweat, you do plenty enough updating the game itself, I can do some legwork on my end to free up some time for you. I added the files to my Google Drive so you can copy the text. This link has the Materia, Armor & Summon changes you have made as of 9/1/19. I updated my original post earlier to house the data for those of you that don't want to go to the Drive.

I wasn't able to find a single weapon that was increased or altered in any way. Did something not save on your end when you put the file out? I triple checked every weapon using the prior kernel and the new kernel on Wall Market and found all weapon strength, hit rate, crit rate and stat increases are identical to the prior version of the game. (I made sure to open both different kernels on Wall Market simultaneously. I thought I made that mistake the first time)

I assumed weapons were done because Mythril Saber was listing +15 instead of +5 for magic buff but I guess I must have done that in an earlier update.
 
At the end game now, I can't figure out how you change party leader. The crew doesn't give the option. I assume its done on the highwind, but I can't find any information or videos to explain what I'm missing.

edit: nvm I finally found uncut video, so this guy appears if you goto the bottom of the crater? I missed that memo..
