Thanks for the excellent mod, on my new playthrough and was getting some crashing using the 7th heaven version of the mod, but read on reddit that the installer version solves that issue. To that effect, so far so good. I believe I would have crashed by now. So wonderful!

So, deactivating the mod in 7th heaven is what I assume to be the correct path, but I noticed that my potions now heal only 100hp, despite the description text saying it heals 300hp, as should be expected? If I remember right?

Any help on this anyone? First post, apologies if I goofed up or missed a thread, it's a tough thing to search.

That means the .exe is no longer patched. It's not a good idea to run the Main Installer over a 7h installation as it hard-patches the files and will mean that 7h may behave in unpredictable ways if used on top of it.

If you're fine with that, then for the .exe, there should be a folder inside the installer download called emergency .exe patch; use the ff7.exe (if it's 1998/game converted) or ff7_en.exe if it's Steam.

If not, then reinstall the game with 7h (save files can be kept) and download the IRO from this thread; it's a few patches ahead of the catalog IRO for NT and has some key fixes in it.
 
Just made an account so I could say, I'm loving this mod. I'm up to Kalm and the, umm... interesting scene at the inn made my day. Definitely gonna be finishing the game again after many years.

I have a question, though. When are you supposed to get the specialization stuff? If I'm past it, how do you access it? Worried I might have done something wrong with the install or something.

edit: And I just figured it out.  ;D

I love this mod so far! I'm closing in on the finale and starting to take on some of the new end game bosses, most are fair but a few can admittedly be a real doozy. Never before have I been so frustrated about status effects  :-P

Just had one question:  When I check on SP, it shows that I'm still missing a character (listed as ?????), seemingly one was added somewhere? Will this become clear in the Northern Crater or one of the side quests, or did I miss something?

Don't worry about that, it was a mistake I made.
 
Nevermind! I realized it is actually VERY simple. I just copied over the .lgp and .bin files into Reunion/Custom/remako/Direct

In case anybody is wondering how to make Reunion + Remako + New Threat all work simultaneously, this is it!
Click to expand...
which .lgp and .bin files exactly? I tried doing it with the ones from New Threat but that didn't work

EDIT: Nevermind, I was trying to use my old save file. Had to start a new game

Nevermind my previous post. Game keeps crashing anyways. Realized though that if I'm using New Threat there's not much point in using The Reunion since I can't have Beacause... I'm considering switching over to New Threat, but I gotta ask... Am I missing out by not having Beacause? I can not make up my mind, this is my first full playthrough of the game so I'm struggling to decide which mod is best for that.
 
In my opinion, both mods are for second playthroughs. I'd experience the vanilla game first, then decide if you want modded gameplay (NT) or story dialogue (Beacause) for your second time.

Or you could always play three times  :wink:

i think you can start with beacause, it fixes various spelling errors and add dialogues missing from original game. it doesn't change gameplay in any form.
New Threat changes gameplay in all areas, definitively it's for a second run of the game.

Darn, I was really looking forward to whoever it might be.  :P  Top guess was either Zack or a Sephiroth clone.

Yeah I ended up landing on that. Figured experiencing the story the way it was intended (which Beacause strives to do) is the best way to do a first run. Definitely gonna do a second run with New Threat.
 
Hey SC, since Sister Ray is about to go public, will you consider updating your mod with it?

It'd be a separate version as I think stuff would need to be converted to be usable with it. Also, there's a new feature set there that would need to be considered with balancing.
 
First time in the forums and on this site, wanted to make a post because I had no idea how else to get a direct answer. I love the mod, first off. Second off, the standalone IROs for New Threat (Vanilla combat) for me seem to be incorrectly working. New Threat by itself on 7H 2.0 works as intended, no issues. Vanilla combat version though does not actually change anything in game.

I've tried lots of troubleshooting as well. The only version that I can get to work is the one that comes along with the Gameplay - Qhimm Catalog 3.0. Both versions of New Threat 1.5 have no issue *running* there. The main issue I am having is strange encounters while using the Vanilla Combat version. Most fights are perfectly normal, Lost Number, Guard Scorpion, Red Dragon, etc. It mostly seems to be the bosses are... problematic. Materia Keeper turned into 3 Shinra Soldiers, Red Dragon was actually a green dragon (just named Red Dragon), during Temple, I ran into an error enemy that kept saying "call staff for help" (?????), and the one I am currently baffled at trying to fix is Demon Gate. I have no clue how, but after the cutscene Demon Gate turns into 2, 8 Eye enemies.

I have no explanation for this at all. I've turned off conflicting mods and ran it just by itself, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling FFVII, as well as cleaning the registries and even going as far as to ensure the needed files (kernel and scene) are in the direct folder for 7H to use. I'm simply at a loss. I can't tell if this is an error or just how the vanilla version is changed to remove some problematic bosses. I would greatly appreciate the help, as I have spent close to the past week trying to fix this to no avail.

If it helps - I'm running Windows 10, 7H 2.03.406, and Steam version of FFVII (though 7H makes me use the 1998 exe anyway). I had read that the manual install for New Threat was possible at request, so I'm up for trying that if there's no other options to try. Either way, keep up the good work on the mod, I'm loving the changes so far. I appreciate your patience with reading this long, annoying post as well.

Hi! Awesome mod, having a lot of fun.
Having an issue though. I'm at North Crater and I've made about 150 attempts to steal the Spirit Lance from Crater Dragon, but I can't seem to get it. My party is at lv. 99 and one is at 85 with whom I've made about 50 attempts with. I've read somewhere that the steal mechanics is broken at high levels, do I need to install a cheat enginge to get the Spirit Lance now or what's the deal here?
 
Hi SegaChief, just one info:

the guy in this vid is playing New Threat mod, assumedly freshly downloaded, with the 7thHeaven manager. I noticed that he uses very detailed field models (for NPC) and battle models (for enemises) which I assumed were within 7thHeaven but apparently not. Could you tell me if these are part or not of the New Threat mod itself and, if not, where they could possibly come from?

It'll either be a lookup table issue, or Arrange Mode was activated; the vanilla combat version had the Arrange Mode selection available from the start initially which caused problems when it was turned on. I'll review the IRO and see what's going on with it.

You'll need a Sneak Glove to get the steals in the Crater, there was an oversight with the Level adjustment. Even at a maxed chance, the steals there need Sneak Glove to boost the formula. Sneak Glove itself can be bought from the guy who sells Batteries in Wall Market (to get there you need a keycard dug up from Bone Village that allows entry through the perimeter fence).

They aren't part of NT, no; I'm guessing they're available through the Qhimm catalog but the field models don't seem familiar.
 
Ahhh... I see! Thank you.

Christ the endgame is brutal. Kinda was hoping for the opportunity to grind myself OP for some well earned semi-smooth sailing.
I've loved every aspect of the mod up until now but now it's just unrelenting status effect bombardment, kinda taking away the fun. Since Wall is mandatory in most fights you can't use Ribbon, and only so much you can do with one Hades and Added Effect. Is it supposed to be this hardcore or am I missing something?

It looks like Arrange Mode was enabled; as the script for changing some encounters is still in there, you're getting different encounters for some of the boss fights. For instance, there are two Materia Keepers; the Arrange one has a fight ID of 440 which is where a formation of SOLDIER 3rds are in vanilla file. When you started a new game, was the Normal/Arrange mode select still present?

This is going to depend on the fight but you can shore yourself up a bit with an accessory and an Added Effect Materia on someone with Esuna+All to more reliably clean statuses from other party members. I'll keep this in mind going ahead with 2.0's endgame.
