he has just used the spanish template.  So it won't really matter. 

I am now developing the installer and will soon need testers.

So what is new in M06 (should be released tomorrow... but I always say that and then fail).  All of these are options.

- Submarine minigame restored to international version
- Option to have new designed submarine games I have made includes new colours for bombs and so forth.
- Options for some other colours in game.

While reading various readme files and other diversions intended to keep me from hari kari while trying to get a shiny upgraded FF7 working..  I stumbled over this in the original installation readme.

Code: [Select]
Code: 
SUBMARINE GAME WIRE FRAMEIn the Submarine minigame, you may toggle the wire frame backgroundON and OFF by pressing F2.  The wire frame slows down the game considerably, so the default has been set to OFF.
Were we at all aware of this?  Because as many times as I've played in the past, I don't think I knew or ever tried it.

Anyways, just wanted to point that out.  Figured if it's not useful information, at least it might be amusing.  At the minimum, if I was the only one unaware of this, you can all point and laugh to your contentment.   ;)
 
The wireframe issue has been sorted already and is now default to on.  See the minigame fix thread :)
 
Yeah, I saw you mention you were doing that.  Which was sorta what I was confused about.  I never knew (at least, I don't ever remember knowing) you could switch them to begin with.

So basically, the PC version got an "extra" mode, which for some reason was made default, and then they made the game extra crappy with slower controls and whatnot?  heh.  Once we mod it up, can we still switch between modes, just they actually work like they're supposed to now?
 
It will work exactly like the psx game.  I have corrected it to work exactly the same.  IN every way...
 
Just a note. The main bulk of this installer will never support the new FF7 PC game.  I may add ability for the other patches (like invincibility) to work with it, but that's all that is doable.

Kranmer is working on a converter from old to new PC which would allow you to fully mod your game.

DLPB,This mod (at least for me) seems to overwrite something that effects FF7 Music, if you install FF7 Music after this mod everything seems to work. But if you install it after no matter what config you choose you get no sound. Evidence seems to be popping up in the increase in "my music is not playing threads."


EDIT: Scratch that Ficedula's music is just being wonky. It just clears its setting for no reason.

Yeah I was supposed to have had the submarine game release for you ages ago...  but then there were the diversions.

Any case, I am making good progress now.  I've been tweaking a few things I always found annoying [like how long the score screen stays]... and updating others. I think I am ready now to start main work on the actual AI of the enemy subs and then it is ready.

The international minigame conversion is already done :) and so is the massive bulk of the work overall.
 
Someone in my video mentioned that "some attacks miss the legend (top screen thingy)". Is it because the menu overhaul or did I do something wrong? Can I reinstall the menu overhaul over the one i already have or I need to do a fresh install? Thanks!
 
Did you touch the Submarine minigame camera data at all? I feel very annoyed when switching between top-down view/first person mode and the 3rd person mode; the camera seems to lag behind normally, and if it was in a different angle due to not resetting, the angle will freeze when switching to top-down/1st person. It feels very stupid to try and navigate like that, and I certainly haven't had that happen on PSX.

I'd say that is something wrong with your files.  No one else has reported this issue, and I have never seen it, meaning it is almost certainly you.  Don't guess.  Go back to original files (scene and kernel and kernel2) and see what happens.

I have restored the International PSX version almost completely.  Everything.  The initial data is the same (copied entire table across from PSX int), so the camera is the same.  You can switch camera like before already, but the camera will be defaulted to the EXACT SAME as PSX.  The whole point of the project was to restore the game to the newer PSX version.  So you are in luck.  8)

Should I copy the scene and kernel and kernel2 from the original disk? Thanks!

Cool, no problem then.  :D I guess I'll see what it's like when it's released.
 
I loaded the first save i had made at the beginning of the game. Not solved and I experienced a game freeze after 2 battles while loading for the third battle... hmmm weird. Should I install menu overhaul on top again?

Try using original 1.02 and see if that helps.  I have no idea why ERROR: GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY

I can't see this being an issue on my side either.  I'd start again with new files.  Check backup-dlpb  folder and see if those are the originals.
 
Maybe memory is out because of magochocobo's huge pngs in combination with asmodean's shaders.

Ok Deleted all backup DLPB with fresh kernel scene kernel2. Re-installed M005a and then the latest one on top (but still came up with the errors mentioned above) and now it runs smoother than ever. Which menu is better overhaul or Felix's?
