Love the NEW Threat 2.0 so far very challenging! So thank you for your work in making it!


I played FF7 when it came out to the point of blindfolded 100% lol - sad times because it made me unable to play it any more. Your NT Mod has completely changed that (with type b) and I have a new love for playing! Thank you!

Side note: Octa Magic only is Quad Magic (only uses magics 4 times not 8 like description says) Also the KotR fight is a joke man - just not even fun.

octa works fine here via 7th heaven with just new threat.  maybe useful if u posted full list of mods running. only issue have seen is can say 4x which is eusi change.

a little advice for kotr fight
 hourglass omega will significantly make that fight easier. 
try explore possible status effects if struggle at all with any bosses.
 
So I was going through the game with the mod, and I think I found a bug. I got an Encounter Error in the Mythril Mines just after I got the Long Range materia. Don't know what happened, but there was a weird enemy I couldn't kill, or maybe just not at my level. I did see that it was trying to pull lines from a monster that speaks, but it was pulling what seemed like apologies out of that dialogue?? I had done most of the base content up until you recruit Yuffie automatically, then go to the chocobo farm and get a chocobo, and while in the mythril mines I happened upon the source demon, and left after that to go to the far right room. I got into that room, got the materia and then when I got a few steps away the bug( ? ) happened. If it helps I have the Vanilla Combat version of the mod, and it's installed through 7th Heaven.

If it's already been solved, then sorry, but I really don't want to have to redo the entirety of Midgar in the 2.0 mod if I can help it. (I don't know which version the Vanilla Combat one is, so it might be 2.0 already but it's the harder combat I fear lol) I would also like to know if I can do the Jenova-LIFE fight with the secret therein in the VC version, or if using the VC version screws that up.
 
Hi everyone, is this mod playable on Steam Deck ? I ordered some and want to try it.

Hi. Did you find an answer ? Cause i'm very interested in playing NT 2.0 on Steam Deck but unsure how to install it.
 
Hello, I have a question on the download installer. I'm not a everyday qhimm forum user, so I definitely must have missed something going on here as this wasn't a thing long before until I checked it on this day myself. But why is this asking for a decryption key? Is this downloader behind a paywall? I love this mod but damn, feels like some unfortunate circumstances happened for this to be a thing now.
 
EDIT: Solved, known issue with steamdeck.  I got help on the qhimm discord.  Thanks all!

Okay so I have a weird issue that cropped up.

I was trying to add ESUI and a theme to my modded setup after ~150 happy hours on my steamdeck with New Threat 2.0 and the newest stable build of 7th heaven, when suddenly:

I noticed the game hitching on battle start/end, at moments during script scenes, and on music transitions.

I thought it was ESUI, so I removed it, no dice.  Eventually I get to just New Threat 2.0 and no other mods, issue persists.  I turn off New Threat 2.0, issue finally goes away! 

So, I try a new game just to see if there's been some artifact of a save corruption.  Nope, hitching continues.

I try revalidating my steam install of FF7 just in case.  No change.

Anyone have any ideas at this point?

The -only- things I can think of that have actually changed are

-Total mods downloaded to my local catalog (even though they're disabled)
-Steamdeck has recently updated the OS
-Order of mods has changed but again, all other mods are inactive.

--- NEW SYMPTOM: - It hitches EVERY FRAME in the Cave of Gi!

--- EDIT: Okay, not strictly a new threat issue, seems most mods are now causing this.  wtf?  could be due to the OS update.  It's definitely an issue with the music.

Is there any way to just automatically succeed on all the fort  condor stuff? I'm just not into it anymore :/
 
Hello Sega Chief.

Talking about Fort Condor I like the idea to have an emissary but I have a suggestion to change the location where Cloud appears:

Another suggestion is to change some Items after the event, I remember that is a Remedy as a reward, would be nice an armor or a weapon (apart from "Magic comb").

By the way, any update soon?
 
In the documentation files it says Yuffie's Twin Viper is in Shinra Mansion. I've looked up and down and haven't found it. I've also played the mansion piano with the missing keys (main theme).

Is this something I have to come back later for, or am I missing something? I'm on my first trip to Nibelheim.

Thanks!

What mod is this that changes the field models to be more "relax." I already have Ninostyle Chibi.

Hello xerounltd.

You are talking about Cloud´s stand, right? You have some options to edit in the mod "60/30 FPS gameplay", here:

I hope this helps you.

Thank you!!! Worked perfectly.

Still can't find Twin Viper though Q_Q
 
Hi all,
I'm having an issue with the Kalm Traveler in 2.0. I turned in the guidebook for the gold chocobo and that seemed to work fine, however, returning later to turn in the desert rose, he reverted to vanilla and gives me another gold chocobo. Anybody else experience this? Is there a fix? Thanks.

I have come back to this game after a few months and would like to ask some questions/report issues:


[list type=decimal]
[*]I cannot remember which of my save files is which game type (A or B), is there a way to verify the game type for a specific save file?
[*]While trying to start over, I noticed that the game type selection menu does not work properly, in that selecting return while navigating game type still causes the game to start. Is this a known issue, or should I consider reinstalling?
[/list]

Thanks

1) bosses depending on which gamepoint in time your at maybe altered. theres most likely something contained within the savefile too.

2) no idea on second one, perhaps load order issue? should give choice A/B alongside hard/normal toggleExP option. then starts, try check load order there is an autosort on the right hand side 1/9 of 7th heaven mod manager if your using that suggest try that.

Thank you for responding:

1) Okay. Checking the bosses will probably be a lot of work as there is no wiki on changes and I do not want to get spoiled. I do not know how to analyse save files, and I am not so familiar with game as to notice the differences immediately.

But more pressingly:

2) I tried autosort, which did not work, and then deleted all of my current mods on 7th Heaven and reinstalled new threat 2.0 and the issue is still happening. To be clear: New game -> gametype A (or choose B does not matter) -> return -> (moves to exp toggle and hard mode menu) -> return to game type select -> (opening fmv plays and game begins)

Interestingly, I selected normal or hard difficulty and the return option on the submenu DOES bring me back, so I am beginning to suspect something wrong with the newest update or something (to be clear, I am on version 2.099973. I'll try doing a full reinstall of FFVII at some point if I can be arsed, but would be nice if someone could confirm it IS just me.

Honestly, I can probably still play the game, but it makes me wonder what other issues I could be vulnerable to if indeed my installation is borked.
 
Hi! I'm having trouble finding clear information on the exact differences between 2.0, Combat Only, and Vanilla Combat. Can someone explain these?

Also, I've never finished FFVII before, so I'm looking for an experience that's fairly similar to vanilla, but I do like to be moderately challenged, and it sounds like the vanilla game is too easy on its own. I've read, however, that in New Threat 2.0, while the difficulty is better balanced, physical attacks are nerfed to the point of being underpowered, forcing you to rely mostly on magic, which to me sounds like a downgrade, being that not all playstyles are viable. Can anyone speak to whether or not this is true?

While I like the idea of the improved script, new events/dialogue, character specific abilities, Source upgrades, QoL improvements and new limit requirements, I don't want the items, materia, and enemy skills moved around in my game where I can't find them. Is it possible to have the former without the latter? Thank you!

Edit: I'm also wondering, when you open the configure mod menu for New Threat Combat Only on 7th Heaven, there's an option that simply says Choose, and a toggle for on and off, however I cannot find an explanation in the readme or anywhere else. What does this mean?

Final thing, does the 6030 FPS mod work with Combat Only?

I personally find physical attacks to be just as viable but there's probably more ways to do more damage with magic; the trick is to try and equip armour, accessory, and Materia to push their Strength and Luck stats. I think I adjusted things like enemy defences and spell strengths for the late-game a little to try and counteract it a bit.

These are the two derivatives from the full mod:
*) Combat Only: Only the battle balancing is included (enemy strength & character equipment, spells, etc.), the field scripting, story text, item placement, events, etc. are all vanilla. Any new enemies added for NT are also removed. For people who want the combat rebalancing stuff but not the other stuff I've added. 2.0 has this variant. It can be used as a compatibility option with mods that adjust field scripting, though it may not be 100%.

*) Vanilla Combat: The opposite of the above; all the new field scripting, events, item placements, etc. for NT are included but all of the enemy encounters and character equipment, etc. is vanilla. For people who want the extra stuff, but not the battle rebalancing. 2.0 doesn't have this variant (the 1.5 build has it), but I'm planning to make this for 2.0 soon.

As for item placements & enemy skills, they're mostly the same with a few exceptions; Matra Magic is still learned from Custom Sweepers outside Midgar, for instance. There's a download I have on this thread that contains documentation which lists where everything is (or at least, one location for it) if that helps.

The 30/60 FPS mod should work with Combat Only; enable both the 60fps IRO and the 60FPS NT IRO like you would for the full mod.

The IRO text on the options isn't super clear, but I did an update to NT CO today that hopefully makes it a little clearer; it's just an internal thing so that it applies the files, and should be left On.
 
Hi Sega Chief,

I have a quick question regarding
the battle where you play as Zack in his last stand.
Is the battle winnable or do the enemies keep coming endlessly until you lose? Also if it is winnable, is there a reward to winning or is it just bragging rights?
