Yup.  Will take me 2 minutes, but no poin releasing whole new installer for it.
Click to expand...
Is there a way to fix it ourselves? Or release just a fix? Thanks!
 
No you can't fix it.  Not without a lot of messing about and it is pointless.  It affects 2 maps :)  You won't even see a difference.
 
How does the Save and PHS anywhere option work in M004d.exe? and what is PHS?

And I was wondering why I shouldn't use the Re-Translation Project [R001] with Aeris Revival

Second question.  Think about it.  Why would a re-translation of the original game support different dialogue from Aerith?  The whole point of a re-translation is to be faithful to the original writing.  Also, they are incompatible and will lead to problems. You would be overwriting text. If you want to use both, you can but it will be a mess.

First question, all you do is select PHS and Save option ON ITS OWN (if you only want that) and then press install.  PHS is the system that you  change other party members with ingame.
 
You bring menu up in game and select save. The same way you save any other time...  That's what it means.  Save anywhere.
 
sup DLPB. Id like to first start off by telling you how much i appreciate all the handwork u put into making dis awesome mod and that goes for all the other modders as well. Now about my issue with the MO5, my menus and dialouge boxes... pretty much all of the text boxes arent completely solid but besides tht all else seems to be working fine. So yea its not really much of a big deal but its still an eyesore so if it can be fixed id be most grateful. Btw I understand u got lots of things to do and u might have addressed dis issue already but if u can take the time to help me resolve dis issue im having it would mean a lot thx in advance  :)

In case you might not get exactly what I mean about not completely solid.. heres a link of my ss: http://s1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg584/cocoboii/?albumview=slideshow

That happened to me too at 1st you have set everything correctly but this is set wrong:
window_size_x = 0
window_size_y = 0
Since you have set it as fullscreen you must set them to your screen resolution e.g. mine is like this:
window_size_x = 1024
window_size_y = 768
 
It is likely the resolution you are playing at.  Try a window mode resolution of 960*720, 1280*960 or 640*480.

If this doesn't work, turn on prevent rounding errors.

edit:
Ah it was a resolution issue, thanks for that ^
 
much thx to the both of ya, changing the screen resolution back fixed the problem. Only reason I had it changed tho was because I liked it at full screen without the black borders. Is there anyway that i could have it that way without the issue i had b4.. if not thts cool i can live* with it xD. And much thx for dis brilliant, awesome looking mod DLPB

The black borders are normal.  To not have them with certain screens means you are playing at the incorrect aspect ratio.
 
First of all, thank you so much for sharing this project with the world! Love the new fresh look on my FF7 !

I've run into a few problems, however;

I'm unable to Feed or Ride chocobos (whenever I chose to Feed them, Choco Billy is telling me to select which chocobos to Mate instead. The Mating and Release Chocobos command does nothing.


I'm also unable to leave Northern Crater once the Highwind is 'docked' there (Start of disc 3 for example) Telling the Pilot to 'Go!' does nothing at all. 

Had to uninstall M005 completely to get everything above to work.
 
Your problems have nothing to do with the Menu Overhaul project...?  Have you checked without the menu overhaul installed? And did you follow instructions to use a CLEAN flevel before installing M005?
 
Well, it worked fine when I uninstalled the mod, as I mentioned already  :). And I've only tried this on a clean English 1.02 exe with Aali's custom driver installed. Followed the installer carefully as well.
 
I just tested this as well (i am about to test this again in a moment) and Sun7zu is correct, it appears to be the retranslation though because my installation without the retranslation seems to work fine (but i am rechecking this now)

EDIT: Just tested this once more and if i do a clean installation without retranslation it works fine, but if retranslation is turned on (even if its turned on, on its own with no other options selected) this error happens

Did a recheck as well, it's the same for me, works fine with everything except Re-Translation Project [R002]
 
I will look into it.  I will place findings on this post.

edit:  I need to know the exact dialogue with the highwind.  I have already spotted a problem but I cannot be sure it relates to the exact dialogue.
