Forgot to post this here, but I made a little preview video of the mod too:

 
Is there anyway to make this mod work with custom avatars and start menu?

Sorry, if I didn't search it. If it is possible can someone direct me in the right direction?

The start menu file is named buster_00 and is in "Final Fantasy VII\mods\DK\menu". Replace it with whatever picture you want.
Avatars are in the same folder. Usually the avatars are already named correctly so there's no need to rename anything.
 
Thanks for your help. I got to resize the images on photoshop since it just doesn't take the .tex files.

Also, when I start the game, I get an "ERROR: Invalid Color Type" any idea's?

Edit: Fixed some of the problems.

are you trying to copy the design to this?
looks very similar

Nope.

The visual part of that menu can be fully recreated easily, but the problem is the code for it, so it will be frustrating for Dan to code it.

(but if you poke him 1000 times maybe he will do it ^_^ )

quite simply I couldnt code that, and if I could, it would take me 5 years :P

I've been getting this at the startup. And yes, even with the "compress_textures = no/yes" I also get this. Any help would be appreciated  ;)
 
FAQ:

---------------------------
Q.  It isn't even installing?
A.  Make sure you have administrator privilleges (right click, run as admin in later Windows versions) and also make sure that YOUR ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE IS OFF.
---------------------------
Q.  The graphics look really messed up, especially in battle
A.  Make sure you are using latest Custom Driver by Aali.  Make sure you installed this project last and did not install Team Avalanche Menu Overhaul.  Make sure your modpath in ff7_opengl.cfg reads "modpath=DK".  Make sure that you have cleared Cache folder in the modpath, and try Compress Textures = no, in ff7_opengl.cfg.
---------------------------
Q.  Do I need install Team Avalanche Menu Overhaul?
A.  No.  This installer comes with much of their work and uses a different modpath.
---------------------------
Q.  My other lovely updates like that World Map overhaul by FeliX are no longer working.
A.  Move the DK files and folders into your OLD modpath and change ff7_opengl.cfg back to the correct older modpath.
---------------------------
Q. This mod seems to be incompatible with one of my mods.
A.  Post detailed explanation on this thread.
---------------------------
Q. This mod seems to crash my game.
A.  Make sure that this is exclusive to this mod.  Then make sure you have the latest graphic drivers and Aalis latest driver.  Post your app.log if problem persists.  If you get the same error when not using this mod do NOT post a bug report here as it clearly has NOTHING to do with it.
---------------------------

Things NOT TO DO:

1. Do NOT install Team Avalanche menu overhaul or associated menu files.  This mod will not support it. If you have done, please reinstall our Menu Overhaul Project again.

2. Do NOT install ANY mod which changes the actual layout of the menu

3. Do NOT install any break 9999HP patchers.  I have now taken into account the main patch and there should be no further issues.   Do NOT use aali's driver option for patch either.  Use the one that comes with this installer.

4.  Do NOT install this if you are using the older Menu Reconstruction 004.  Uninstall that first with the old installer, or use a fresh 1.02 FF7.exe

5.  Do NOT run this installer without first deactivating your Anti-Virus software.

6.  Do NOT install anything from the Remix installer.. at all!  It has caused numerous problems and is grossly out of date.  If you have, and uninstalling it does not work, use a FRESH 1.02 FF7.exe.

7.  Do NOT leave a bug report without first testing this project on a fresh 1.02 FF7.exe to verify the problem is specific to the Menu Overhaul Project.

edit:

NPOT textures not suppported,

Try resolutions 1280*960.  I do believe this error is usually to do with your graphic card not supporting other resolutions not divisible by 640*480

NPOT stands for non-power of two. Some old Gfx cards (specially integrated ones) just don't support textures that aren't square and with a resolution that is a power of two. This seems to be your case WrathOcasteR. I guess you could open those textures with your favourite image editor and just scale them by yourself to some more fitting resolution.
 
Is it possible to have the characters avatar appear next to the command window like this? Just curious.

Also interested=)

(btw, the background is done)
 
Again to do that means lots of rewriting for little benefit. It isn't worth the effort :P
 
i don't know the opinion of the others but can you put new game and continue dialogues in bottom left of the screen? (i just say that because i think strange those dialogues in front of the background image)
 
Hey man i new around here,i Brazilian and i a fan of FF series and i need help
the menu from this project stays the same and the battle menu is very confused,how i repair this?
and Aali´s custom graphics are functional and appears it´s not instaled

It is actually in the correct place when using the original graphic.  The one I supply is also in the correct place... I am not sure what difference it makes?  You might think it looks better there but others won't, so it will have to stay where it is. 

Upload a picture to demonstrate your problem.
 
like i have sayed,i don't know the opinion of others.But thank you for answer. :-)
