That is much appreciated!I'll sort those two things you mentioned in the current 1.5 build, I'm putting a patch together in lieu of a 2.0 release (had to delay it, was rushing it and things have been disrupted a fair bit with everything that's going on).
Nice to hear about a patch fix release for 1.5! Will that mean the dialog bugs that were mentioned earlier when you use Menu Overhaul will be fixed as well? (And possibly the Field Animation fixes for Dark Cave, etc?)I'll sort those two things you mentioned in the current 1.5 build, I'm putting a patch together in lieu of a 2.0 release (had to delay it, was rushing it and things have been disrupted a fair bit with everything that's going on).
Not sure yet.That is much appreciated!
Would you have any estimation on when we could see 2.0? In a month? Two?
In any case, thanks a lot for your work. I really appreciate it. If you put as much care into FF8's New Threat as what went into FF7's, I know it'll be something special to also look forward to!
cheers
It should be available after reaching the bottom of the North Crater and then coming back on Disc 3; the NPC on the right in the operations room handles it.Did something change? I can't seem to change party leader on the Highwind, have I missed a trigger somewhere or has that feature been removed?
I added a 7th anim so that'll hopefully sort out the dark cave thing. I'll try a default field for the shinra basement flashback, but if that doesn't fix it then it's going to have to be sorted on Menu Overhaul's end. I think one of the options on Chris' Stock UI mod avoids the issue but can't remember which.Nice to hear about a patch fix release for 1.5!

And again, thanks for all your work on this stuff so far!
For whatever is worth, I have used the regular install, the reunion install and 7th heaven and all worked out of the box (7th heaven has some known problems, but those are not NT specific). What you are describing sounds like a mod conflict -- so you probably should tell what is this "bundle gameplay mod that is included in 7th Heaven 2.0's default list" and people here might offer some help.I have tried multiple ways, both New Threat and New Threat Vanilla combat, to install this with the bundle gameplay mod that is included in 7th Heaven 2.0's default list. It never installs correctly. Only by downloading the file from here and installing it individually, but still via 7th Heaven 2.0, was I able to install it correctly.
There are specific things you can check to see if it's all implemented correctly. (e.g. does starting a New Game ask you for Normal or Arrange mode), and whether or not the first battle in the game is with 'MP Trainees', etc. Potions healing for 300 HP instead of the old amount.I have tried multiple ways, both New Threat and New Threat Vanilla combat, to install this with the bundle gameplay mod that is included in 7th Heaven 2.0's default list.

Thing is, it's hard to tell that it's not installed correctly for anyone that has never played it before. Little things mess up, like characters not starting with certain materia, the chocobo encounter in the train tunnels still would happen but the chocobo model would be different and not use the abilities it's supposed to, you'd fight Plasmabuster twice in Reactor 5 instead of the soldiers encounter at the bomb site. Kinda sucks that it's broken in the implementation that so many new players will experience it in.
I don't know either what he means by "bundle gameplay mod..." When you configure and choose a gameplay option, only that one will load. I ALWAYS download the IRO from the OP here and copy it directly into the Catalog. The mod files are never altered. Subfolders are shifted to the root folder because 7H is having issues loading the flevel from subfolders, but it's tested and working before uploading.For whatever is worth, I have used the regular install, the reunion install and 7th heaven and all worked out of the box (7th heaven has some known problems, but those are not NT specific).

Sounds good. And in regards to the Mideel memory sequence, will this update have the correct music play when Sephiroth gets thrown into the Lifestream? Square messed that scene up for the PC version.I'll sort those two things you mentioned in the current 1.5 build, I'm putting a patch together in lieu of a 2.0 release (had to delay it, was rushing it and things have been disrupted a fair bit with everything that's going on).
That's the problem, those things DID work. But not everything else did.There are specific things you can check to see if it's all implemented correctly.

In 7th Heaven 2.0, there is a "Browse Catalog" tab. This tab has a "Gameplay" mod that includes New Threat under "Difficulty." Most new players are going to be using New Threat from there, like I did, instead of downloading the file from here, which I ended up doing and only then realized why New Threat was so hard for me. Little things were screwed up. For example, Aeris did NOT start with any materia, let alone mastered Barrier and MBarrier. Red XIII did not have any materia, either.

Try not to believe everything that is written to be true. We all play with varying setups, and in so many cases, issues tend to narrow down to the user setup.
I had a look into it and seems that the song set up for it doesn't loop midway for a little bit like the PSX version does, but DLPB's R06 has that loop added in to make it last the correct length of time. I've added that track to the Main Installer + IRO.Sounds good.

Sounds like the scene.bin wasn't patched either if you got Air Buster at the Reactor 5 core instead of the Bio-troopers.That's the problem, those things DID work. But not everything else did.

It was more a word of caution instead of looking for a fix. I have already fixed the issue by just downloading the file from here. But if you install it via the mod that is in the "Browse Catalog" tab of 7th Heaven 2.0, it doesn't work correctly.
So assuming my 2.0 install is working correctly, NT from the catalog (dated 3/3/2020) seems to be functioning as intended. Scene, Kernel, Flevel, Hext, battle/char, all passed. Mod.xml looks correct, no typos etc.Well I'm not going to take blame for it. SC is already upset with me, and I don't want to further upset him. I unpack the same IRO you download from the OP and put the same files in there. There's nothing I can do if no one figures out why they aren't getting the same results.
Shinryu's attacks can target both the player and Omega.hey sega cheif
with the omega boss fight when you first get the KOTR materia, is ice storm spose to hit omega or the party insted, just curious

They are a bit too strong, but I left it be at the time when it mentioned before.Are Stardusts supposed to deal that much damage? Having a stock of them has quickly invalidated a lot of fights.
Will fix in the next update.I was looking up some videos on NT 1.5 (and apparently found some 1.4 as well) - But I noticed a line in Sector 5 that was different from what I'm playing. It's the guy in the pipe.
In the videos of the people playing, Aerith says "This guy am sick" (Base vanilla has the famous "This guy are sick") line.
Either way, I was looking at the line in my game just now, and she says this instead: "These guy is sick"
Is the dialog random? One of the videos I watched had 1.5 NT too, so I should be getting "This guy am sick" too right? Unless it was changed recently in a mini update?
