[FF7PC]FF7 SYW "ArkTsukiVock" (v4) upscale : Battle, world map, fields, videos

Any difference between this installer and the links provided on 7th heaven? I have already downloaded both the mods on  7th heaven and this installer, not sure which is better

The textures between the installer and catalog are identical.  The difference is that the installer version provides the means to create DDS format textures (which can be used by the new FFNx graphics driver) and is able to generate Reunion-compatible folder structures automatically.

Hey, it's my first time modding FF7.  I managed to get Reunion running without a hitch, then I tried installing this with the latest 4.13 installer.  I'm probably just doing something wrong, but it seems to be broken.  First I tried the "Install with Reunion" option, but it didn't seem to be active when I started the game and all the relevant folders appeared to be empty.  Then I tried the convert DDS to PNG option for manual install to a separate folder I created, and sure enough, all the folders were completely empty.  Am I doing something wrong or did something break in the latest update?

Thanks for putting in all this work, by the way.  All the screenshots I've seen look fantastic!

@Orichalcon
thanks for reporting it, i'll correct it in a few days

I tried the "Install with Reunion" option, but it didn't seem to be active when I started the game and all the relevant folders appeared to be empty.

The same here.
Reading log.txt, seems like texconv.exe (converts .dds to .png) is 64bit. My Windows is 32bit. So the program can't be run.
What a pity

 

[LazarusHC]

Yeah, but I'm running a 64bit version of Windows and still have the same issue.

@Panteleimon & LazarusHC
Witch windows version ?
Witch graphic card ?
Have you tried cpu version ?

 

[LazarusHC]

Okay, finally got it working! I was playing around with texconv to see if I could figure out what wasn't working, and in the process a bunch of Visual C++ redistributables got installed which must have satisfied a dependency for your installer.  I couldn't tell you exactly which one did it, though. My system was pretty bare-bones since I've been running Linux exclusively for about 10 years now, and was running off a fresh install of Windows I'm now dual booting just for FF7 (couldn't get Reunion mod working in Linux).

Thanks again for all your efforts! Finished playing the Remake last week, and let's just say it left me with a strong desire to replay the original, which is when I came across this amazing modding community.  ;D

 

[satsuki]

Ok seems dependencies related, i'll check than one and 32bit also

Windows 7 pro 32-bit, GeForce GT 710
I've found 32bit texconv.exe in DirectX SDK (june 2010), but it is only 47KB - and your texconv is 3.28MB. And still it doesn't work But 32bit version launchs, and your texconv gives error in log.txt
log.txt with 32bit example:

Seems like 32 bit texconv.exe has no -y option? And those weird symbols at the beginning....

What is CPU version? Where can I find it?

 

[satsuki]

I found the dependencies needed that's from c++ 2015 visual studio
Need to find a 32 bits version of the tool, autodetect if os is 32/64bits and autoswitch all the stuff.
May take some time

 

[satsuki]

@Panteleimon could you try this version of texconv ?
http://ff7syw.free.fr/texconv.exe

That works! PNG files are appearing at the moment! Awesome work, awesome textures! Thank you!

 

[satsuki]

Ok, i'll do an update asap

 

[satsuki]

New version (page 1)
-The Pack Builder now detect 32/64bits OS and use the right tool (thanks Panteleimon for reporting)
-Added the vc runtime so you can intall them if needed (thanks LazarusHC for reporting)
-Small correction in the farm field (thanks Orichalcon for reporting)

I'm using LGP Tool to mod my german steam Version of FF7.
I've aleady got the Ninostyle models for direct Folder in my *.lgp files.
Is there any way to get the SYW Backgrounds, Fields, etc into the *.lgp files? There are no *.DDS Image Files in the lgp container so I cant copy/paste and overwrite the files...

 

[satsuki]

you can't do it straight
you need to convert from png to ff7 tex file
but for field you can't because of the limit size of the lgp files.
not this pack related, better ask in tools section.

 

[EliR58]

Regardless of which options I choose or what operation I attempt to perform on your installer, it crashes very shortly after starting. About 3 seconds after starting it goes unresponsive. I've attempted waiting for several minutes, running in compatibility mode, running as administrator, giving admin privileges to all included tools. Upon running it also deletes the log.txt file and does not repopulate it no matter how long I wait, so I am unable to determine any sort of error message.

Edit: Just saw new version, will attempt with this.

 

[EliR58]

Yeah it just goes unresponsive immediately still. Again no error log for me to post unless I'm missing it somewhere.
