Glad to have you back here Daniel!  :lol:
And you brought great news back with you too! (Beacause at 90%!!)
Here's my 2 cents:
New borders and 2-coloumn magic look very good, and IMHO the FF9 interface is fine as it is.
By the way, do you plan to add a FF7-like interface in the future?
Oh and, tinkering here and there with your mod (again) I noticed that the "coin toss" window just overlaps the command window, while every other sub menu like item or magic makes the command window vanish. Is there a way to extend this effect to the coin toss window?
 
To make the coin toss window remove the previous window takes a bit of messing...  im not sure if it can be done with code already there but to be honest, i wasnt taking any chances originally.  To make the main window disappear can be done, but it takes coding, and im not sure its that much of a priority.

FF9 interface needs some tweaks to the hud imho...I will let felix decide.  I am nowhere near his level with graphics, and in fact, my weakness is graphics.

As for translation project, yup, not long now... and then I have to

a. run through 700+ maps and making changes
b. run through entire game and make changes
c. get luksy to run through all maps and see if he is happy
d. maybe get SOMEONE else out there to look through and see if they are happy
e. Get covarr to proof chec

Release.
 
Clear the files from the Mods/Cache/Menu folder :)

My cache folder in ff7 folder is empty.. so of course no effect deleting it. Materia's textures always return back to originals installed with bootleg

It isn't a priority at all. I was just curious because i had to enlarge the command window and now it can be seen when you're using coin toss, but I couln't find the values to make the coin toss box larger as well. I'll just have to look better.  ;-)

I won't ask how much will it take. I fear it might shatter my idea of "90%".  :-D
So just keep up the good work man, we'll all be waiting for it to be complete!  ;-)

FF7/mods/bootleg/cache/menu

any time you make changes to the mods folder you will need to clear this cache.

there is also a cache is the main ff7 directory, not entirely sure what the difference is, most things are cached to the mods folder, but some things will go to the main cache.

There is another thing you should try also please, Manu>>>go to bootloader and uncheck compress textures, clear cache. Load the game up and open the menu system, go to materia menu, close game, recheck compress textures. Now you will have the other Materias or you can throw an egg at me. Same process to go back. I forgot about that step...

The sad thing is that is probably the easy part. XD

Thanks a lot to you for your answer but.. still don't work anyway !  ;D
Tried your method with unchecking compress textures, launch the game, open materia menu, close the game, copy the files to the bootleg/menu folder, check compress texture, launch the game. No changes at all.
Second thing, I never had a cache folder in the bootleg folder ! I just have the cache folder in the main ff7 folder, as you can see in this screenshot.

Hahaha! That was a really creative way to describe the devotion level to this project!
 
Luksy has discovered a problem with the original Japanese too...

Code: [Select]
Code: 
------------------------------The chocobo looked like it enjoyed the Greens.------------------------------{CHOICE}Tickle the soles of its feet{CHOICE}Tickle its tummy{CHOICE}Tickle its neck{CHOICE}Tickle its belly button << belly button?? Chocobos are mammals?{CHOICE}Tickle it behind its ears << ears??{CHOICE}Tickle its armpits << wingpits?? :D
Someone obviously failed to note that this was a bird.  I will take a liberty and change these to work with a bird.  The notes above are from Luksy.

------------------------------
The chocobo put the Materia away. << and where exactly??

Haha, I have a good idea hahaha

Final Fantasy VII Script. The neverending story nightmare.
LOL  :-P
 
So let's see (I am sat here looking at Ostrich anatomy.. that's how crazy this game has made me) >

Code: [Select]
Code: 
{CHOICE}Tickle its head{CHOICE}Tickle its neck{CHOICE}Tickle its belly{CHOICE}Tickle its feet{CHOICE}Tickle its tail{CHOICE}Tickle its wings
Let's hope the Japanese fanboys don't find out that a Chocobo now likes having its tail tickled and not its ears... I have enough on my plate with the English fanboys hahaha

Everyone knows chocobos love to be scratched behind their ears... of course they have ears... and very sensitive hearing at that. Some of my best friends are chocobos.

Soles of its feet is funnier than just feet... but I agree belly is funnier than tummy. I personally would have put behind its ears instead of head, though. Not important. Tail is classic. Really swimming in minutia here...

The person who wrote this section was obviously under the impression that a chocobo was a mammal of some sort... it even sounds like it was written to apply to a human kind of being haha Soles of feet!  Birds dont have ears like mammals, you can't "tickle behind them" in the same way.
