Note:  hardcore mod/aerith revival wont work at all with this installer (even non translation).  Use clean flevel in meantime.  I will get luksy on this.
 
The M004a installer worked without the ReTranslation when installing on Hardcore.

I successfully installed:
Vanilla FF7
Hardcore 1.04
M004a (no ReTranslation)
 
It may have seemed that way, but believe me tS  crashes before it finishes :)  I will be talking to luksy later about it.

Woow the re-translation changed nearly everything some sound pretty weird "mega elixer" i think sounds better than the one now (forgot wwhat it was called) is there anyway i can change certain items names myself? btw great job on this awesome work
 
Sure use touphscript or wallmarket :)  see tools.

Also, I haven't changed everything, I have changed everything back to how it was supposed to be mostly.

lol cant believe i didn't think  of that :o just a suggestion you should include the toughscript editor included with this menu overhaul
 
I do :P  It uses it to edit the game but leaving it on your comp after installation is a tad poor.
 
I take it i can't use game saves that has hardcore mode in it with out hardcore mod turned on ?
 
Of course you can, it just wont be hardcore mod anymore.  Wait until the issue is resolved.
 
I do, I have explained it on 2 pages already.  Do not use installer with hardcore mod or aerith revival.  use CLEAN flevel and clean scene.bin.  In fact use clean files.  Hardcore mod and aerith will not work with this at all at moment.
 
Ok so here are the reasons why the installer hung or crashed with these mods:

1.  Hardcore mod has a bug in its flevel code,  I have notified author.
2.  Hardcore mod has junk data in its kernel2 file which was crashing touphscript,  Luksy has programmed ts to clean up these problems.
3. Same issue with Aerith revival kernel2

This was not our installer's error.. it was hardcore and aerith revival.

I have also requested that a few more safety checks happen in touphscript to avoid any hangs or crashes when bad code is encountered in future.  I will place M004b up tomorrow.
 
Good Luke Mr.DLBP

Well
 I used version 3 and I not see any error
 But in the countdown , a simple error.
 Did not affect on my game
 If there are features in the new version!
 Different from the version 3! you can say to All!
 
excuse me, Mr. DLPB.
while the encoding is processing, the 'ff7 text editor' stopped..
can you gimme the solution?

I have installed :
ff7patch v1.02,
ff7 opengl-0.7.11b

Deselect canon name option and american spelling option, try M004b and see what happens.

Menu Overhaul Project M004d: CLICK HERE

Notes:

Re-translation does not FULLY support Gjoerulv's hardcore mod.  Hardcore mod has made so many changes to scene and kernel2 that it is impossible to make them work together with a basic install.  It would take the collaboration of both of us at the end of both projects to meld them together.  I added an option to patch only flevel and ff7.exe with translation  (skipping the flevel files that Gjoerulv has altered).

Re-translation does not and never will support Aerith revival.  Plainly, changing the entire premise of the game and rewriting large sections of Aerith dialogue is not the aim of a re-translation project.  I guess if people want me to, I can still patch scene, kernel, ff7.exe and world map.

Hardcore mod and possibly Aerith mod, will crash the installer on a flevel encode (normal menu option).  This is due to faulty code in THEIR mods, and THEY (the hardcore/aerith authors) must address them.  Retranslation SHOULD run fine with hardcore mod.

A future touphScript will look into ways of skipping badly coded files rather than crashing.  It should be noted that the bugs present that crash touphScript, will also crash the game for these mods too.  It is NOT a touphScript issue.

I have changed the installer to show flevel encode, so that you can terminate it if it hangs or crashes. ALWAYS CHECK log.txt FOUND IN DATA FOLDER.  IF ANYTHING IS THERE LET ME KNOW.

Code: [Select]
