Ive got the newest drivers but ill test out the resolution change. I cant get to 960 as my max is 1366x768 but ill go for 1280x768 or 1280x720.

Also Looks epic.
 
The blue/red icons are barrier indicators, right? Beautiful. Actually, I'd prefer this FF9 theme over FFX one.
 
So would I.  As usual I had to go spending my life making FFX interface when FF9 works better with this.  Of course FFX interface will also get the icons.  Those icons are not final, they are just basic.  Felix is making some decent ones.
 
That is probably a graphic fault with the driver and your resolution.  Doesn't happen here.  Best resolutions are 1280*960 FS and 960*720 windowed.

latest ff9 interface until Felix draws me new icons.

i know that i shouldn't quote images but that deserves to be quoted.. looks AWESOME! especialy the icons on the left.. def will be using it once u release
 
Also about that FFX problem on the other page, it could be transparent issue.  003 will correct transparency issues. So we will see.

Also official notice.

I will add break 9999 support for FF9 Interface but I will NOT be making the original FF7 menu as an option. It is unnecessary and a ton of work.  Anyone who wants that can go back to TA and use Menu reconstruction 004 (old project).

Can anyone post a pic on how is this currently looking?
Many changes seem to have been made but i haven't seen much screens.

I liked this take from felix but dunno how is it atm. Seen some screens with transparancy which didnt amuse me as much (talking about the battle menu, the UI on the right is a different story, as i i like the minimalistic style much more than the FF9 style with all that info).
 
All of the menu's are now transparent.  I may get a video going soon to see the differences but I suggest you install and check for yourself.  When FF9 interface arrives.
 
I may sound stupid for asking this, but was there a password posted earlier in the thread for the file? I can't find it  ???

Don't hate me  :-\
 
He posted it in the post with the latest version, but didn't add it to the original post. I think the readme can also be extracted without the password, and it's in there.

DLPB, it's reasonable to expect people to read, but any post which contains a download link should also contain the password. Some software won't extract ANY file, even unencrypted ones, from a password-protected archive without the password, and it's not reasonable to expect people to read the entire thread, especially as it gets longer.
 
Just saw this "Completed: 20/20"

Grats man. Will be looking forward to 003.
 
Is this a bug in the Menu Overhaul?
When I go into the equipment menu and change a character's armor, I can scroll passed all the items and point to an empty line.  When I select the empty line for armor, the character's defense stats go up to 255.  Afterward, strange items sometimes show up in the list.  These items have blank or garbled names.  This doesn't always happen and has even fixed itself on occasion.

I recreated this error on a fresh install of FF7, Aali's 0.7.11b Opengl driver and the Menu Overhaul 0002a with default settings.

It doesn't seem to affect gameplay so long as I don't select an empty armor slot.
I even saved and reloaded after the error occurred without any adverse effects.  The garbled items disappeared from the inventory.

EDIT: You're right, it's my fault.  I have a corrupt save game.  Something happened to corrupt my save game when I finished disk 1.
I apologize if I caused any alarm!

Thanks,

Does this happen for anyone else?

It could be my error although I haven't been able to scroll to an empty slot.  Please try without menu overhaul installed with same exe and see. 

or try with a new game or new save which has not been edited.  It sounds more like a save issue than my error.  In fact it is unlikely my error because I don't generally put out mistakes that large.

Corruption is evil!  :evil:
Though I'm sure this junked item error I'm experiencing is the result of a corrupt save game, the problem only presents itself when I'm using the Menu Overhaul patched ff7.exe.  When I revert to a 1.02 patched ff7.exe, the error is gone.
It problem begins immediately after disk 2.
I downloaded a save game for disk 2 and the error did not occur.

YAMP is the main difference between my save game and the one I downloaded.
I had a YAMP patched ff7.exe for the first part of the game.  I reinstalled the 1.02 patch and then the Menu Overhaul and kept playing. 

Testing my current hypothesis requires replaying the game from the very beginning with the Menu Overhaul installed.
It'll take me a few hours to get back to disk 2, so I better get started!

EDIT: I never had YAMP and the Menu Overhaul installed at the same time.  I installed The Menu Overhaul on a clean 1.02 patched FF7.  Unfortunately, I began playing from a save game I had previously created on a YAMP patched FF7.

So A bit off-topic but you made me get back into Final Fantasy so much I decided to finally make this~

http://www.thedrunkenmoogle.com/post/2978887753/phoenix-down-final-fantasy-cocktail

I just got finished drinking it, it cost a lot for the materials but I bought so much I can make like 99 Phoenix Down now. (no joke).

Just wanted to thank you for the push back into the series, its been sort of dead to me for a while now because well it just hasnt been the same. I needed to go back to old-school but with a cleaner interface and this really did the job. Thank you.

I would make you a drink, but I think you are a bit too far away for that. This thing will mess you up though.
