aye...still no luck. :(
Even after I follow all the instructions it still shows the same ole boring models in town and the world map. The title screen seems to have updated properly have the reunion patch etched in the bottom right corner.

Hey reunion, perhaps you could put the files in a zip instead of using your patch file so we can manually install them instead, maybe that will work?
 
Do you mean that I have to put char.lpg, menu_us.lpg and world_us.lpg in the char folder?
And anyways, the installer says that the 'destination directory doesn't contain any files to update'.

*sigh*

Edit:
Hooboy, why that installer won't update the goddamn files anymore? This is driving me insane. How about using those zip. files that omega was talking about?
 
Oh for god sake

REPLACE your char.lgp, menu_us.lgp, world_us.lgp with THE ORIGINAL char.lgp, menu_us.lgp, world_us.lgp FROM THE INSTALL DISK

CREATE A NEW FOLDER labelled CHAR in the same folder as your CHAR.LGP

USE LGPTOOLS to EXTRACT ALL FILES from your CHAR.LGP to the CHAR folder.

Run the setup

Do you understand now? I'm running out of ideas on how to get this through to you  :-?
 
It's easy to do. It's called use your brain... You don't have to be 18 almost turning 19 to use your brain. ;)

Btw, I hope that you guys finish the patch sooner or later. Biggs and Wedge and some other characters look goofy when cloud and barret are updated but not all the characters. Do you guys plan on updating all of the final fantasy  7 characters even the unknown ones. That would be cool if you did... Before I tried this mod out, I was expecting it to be something terrible, because I am very weird and like the original blocky characters. But I was wrong this mod is really cool.  :o
 
Thank you, NOW I understand. As said, I'm a sucker with these things.

BUT!

After I've done all that, I run the installer, and it says that 'the file doesn't contain any files to update'. I'm sorry to bother you, but is there any way around this? :z
 
Reunion, what tools did you use to make these characters? Are they simple tools? Or I would have a hard time using these tools. Because I feel like I want to mod final fantasy 7 now. I want to make the characters how I want them to look. Sorry, if this is kind of off topic. LoL
 
I think it was time to post the (little) work I've done with the NPCs. I leave you here the Avalanche Team: Jesse, Biggs and Wedge.

And here are two shots:

By the way, did you know that Wedge and Biggs are Luke's best friends at Star Wars? :-P

rmco2003, RPGillespi and Changeling. Sorry for not answering you for so long, but I wanted to have something to show. These models have been made using pieces of other battle models and edited with my Kimera program. Try to play arround with it a bit, it's pretty easy when you get used to it. You can see the result of your mess using Bitrun :-P.

Oh, one last thing, I did a little new tool to resize models and make the SD If you will in a very easy way. You can find it at the programming feedback section.

I plan on trying it out tonight.

MOD EDIT: Don't quote pictures.

You forgot to mention that you got to make a NEW CHAR.LGP useing the LGPtools. I think that is what most people are forgetting.
 
Ok this is what i did and cos i did what it said in Reunion readme and did not work.


1. Get all new file's what you need
2. Run the Reunion patch
3. Make a New Folder name it test
4. Run Ficedula: LGP Tool
5. Hit Extr.All Then Browse for Folder to where you made the New Folder named test
6. Now move all flies out of char Folder to the test Folder and hit yes to all
7. When that done make a New Folder named Backup and move the char.LGP in there
8. Go back on Ficedula: LGP Tool and hit Create then Browse for Folder to where your Final Fantasy VII\data\field is and hit ok
9. Now then done Rename the new  test.LGP to char.LGP
10. Run Final Fantasy VII and when you see the new model's go onto Qhimm.com Forum and say thx you to the right ppl


Reunion you can put this in your Readme if it help's ppl out.
 
....

Why bother with all that?  Just give your computer superhuman AI and a rejection/lonliness complex, and threaten to lock it in a closet unless it does exactly what you want it to do?

...works for me.  Really.

..oor not.  Sorry, i'm just in a smart-alecy mood =)

LOL i tell them there going out the window if thay dont do what i want. I had 5 pc's this year

Back to the topic i did that 10 step's just cos no one was a*s to make 1. So i typed out what i did
 
After a while, i decided to try it out on my friends computer using the same steps as before and it worked. I also realized he had his installation setting to maxium.
DOH!
I reinstalled and used maxium installation settings and the patch finally worked.
Apparently the game on standard installation reads the char.lgp from the disc rather than the hardive.
I should've relized this being a c++ programmer and all....oh well its working on my pc now.  :D

-----

Ice cold, you dont need to do all those steps. Reunions readme is enough.
Just make sure you are on maxium installation and follow everything reunions readme says and it all works out.

MOD EDIT: Don't double-post.
 
I dont understand nothing... Could some one host the modded files? I know is about 50 mb.
 
I think I do everything correct. Game run right with new models but when I go from one location to other, game crush. I try it with and without XP patch and patch 1.02 and it is still same problem. Can anyone help my please?

---
Sorry 4 my english
 
Finally had some time to give this a go.  Apart from some hardly noticeable clipping problems which I didn't really care about, this thing is the best thing to come along since sliced bread (or the original game anyway).

Great job Reunion (and you too Borde, especially for the Avalanche members models).
 
Does anyone knows if it works with the french version of the game? Cause it's menu_fr.lgp and world_fr.lgp, not us, so maybe it won't work...
Well i'll try anyway.


edit : ok it works. The cinematics don't work so i can't play the game from the beginning, but I've got some saves so I could play a bit. That's great, beautiful!  You did a great job, thank you. :)
 
when I used win rar to zip up the char.lgp file it compressed it to about 12 megs but I have no webspace to load it for anyone who are having problems with the patches.
 
This patch needs an update, whenever you get the chance. The feet are still screwed up at parts, and I hope this patch does every character in the final fantasy VII world, because it looks weird when your character models are like the only models that are improved.  :lol:
