[FF7PC-98] The Reunion (OLD THREAD, SAVED FOR POSTERITY)

[Kranmer]

@kranmer

Working perfect, tested the CTRL+SPACE / CTRL+ALT with 9999hp

I suggest you create a new th on realeses and place your mod and everthing there, whould be more easy to see for future downloads

Glad you got it working, i decided not to make a new topic for this since it is only a extension for this mod and not a mod by itself (i mean its useless unless used with the menu overhaul so making a new topic would confuse some people)

I did notice that when using the multi style switcher, if I rapidly switch styles by hammering the hot keys, Cloud's health number is misplaced.  The health counter moves way to the left of his name.
Switching styles like a normal person fixes the problem.

Thanks for this utility!  Now I can enjoy both styles!! SWEET!!!

Hahahahah i never even thought about pressing it rapidly quick (i suppose i should have done but the thought never crossed my mind) i may look into try to fix that thing with the names if you press quickly but i doubt it since like you say it works if you use it normally, Anyway tnx for letting me know it works.

[DLPB_]

The link is not dead.

 

[Vgr]

Yet, I can't get it from here either. It's most likely dropbox.

 

[Covarr]

Works fine for me.

[Vgr]

Well, tested it and it works now. Try again maybe.

1. You should use Bootleg for it.
2. Look at the first post.

I installed version M004d of this project, but I'm getting a crash just before the game would normally display the "new game / continue" menu just after starting the game.

I have no anti-virus running, I'm using the vanilla 1.02 English ff7.exe with Aali's custom driver version 0.7.11b and FF7music.  No other mods are installed other than this menu overhaul project.  The crash ceases to occur upon uninstalling this project.

Read first post do's and don'ts at the bottom, also read readme, then come back.

 

[VonZippa]

I have already read the above mentioned documentation prior to making my previous post, which should have been apparent given the information and details previously provided.  Upon superfluously reading all of the documentation a second time, I can find nothing mentioned that was not already addressed in my initial posting.  What now?

VonZippa,
Run the game is compatibility mode with these settings.

Try running FF7 in compatibility mode. These are the most compatible setting.
Right click on ff7.exe in the game folder.
Select Properties.
Go to the Compatibility tab.
Tick 'Run this program in compatibility mode for.'
Set the drop down list to 'Windows 98/Windows Me.'
Tick all the boxes under Settings:
Run in 256 colors
Run in 640x480 screen resolution
Disable visual themes
Disable desktop composition
Disable display scaling on high DPI settings
Tick 'Run this program as an administrator.'
Now open FF7_OpenGL.cfg in notepad.
Set the game resolution to 1280x960:
window_size_x = 1280
window_size_y = 960
Turn off fullscreen:
fullscreen = no
Disable shaders:
use_shaders = no
Disable transparence:
fancy_transparency = off
transparent_dialogs = off
Disable compression:
compre ss_textures = no
Disable PBO:
use_pbo = no
Make sure that you install a fresh maximum installation of the official US 3 CD-Rom version of Final Fantasy VII.

 

[garruz666]

[DLPB_]

Thanks for trying to help.  Unfortunately none of that changed anything.  In case I wasn't clear before, the game ran flawlessly with just Aali's driver and FF7Music.  The game never crashed once in countless hours of playing until I installed this menu overhaul mod.  I've read through this entire thread as well as the readme text that gets silently dumped in whatever folder you run the mod install .exe from, but nothing I've read seems remotely related to my specific circumstances or the crash I'm getting.

 

[DLPB_]

Make sure it is the menu project doing it.  Restore the old files (the files are saved in the Backup folder in the root or on game disc) and see if the game crashes immediately after the menu overhaul is added.

This will make sure nothing else has been added afterward.
