Sadly the lightlayer can't be replaced without to break the light animations.

I've had this same issue but I also managed to do a pack and have this light layer work properly... not 100% sure how I did it at the time though... I'll be testing a new pack soon so I'll let you know if its working for me or not
 
I've had a look at them and honestly I'm not impressed.  The detail has been obliterated. I'm looking at the Gold Saucer fields at 1280 * 960 and the look is very plastic and smooth.  It's again traded one problem (blockiness) for another (super smooth).

My own solution using scanlines on the originals is actually better. 

I appreciate the monumental time and effort, but this isn't to my taste in any case.  Unless I am doing something wrong.

I do get what you are saying but overall I think satsuki's work looks amazing and is a huge improvement over the originals. This being said after doing some comparison shots with the pack i'm working on now, mine will lean a bit more towards the detail side and less smoothing/smudging/masking etc in comparison. As Satsuki said though the fields are inconsistent so having more detail in my pack will look better for some fields and worse for others. The early blins are really hard to make look good regardless. Its crazy how some of the original fields are beautifully painted and almost look lifelike (icedun) with detail and others are so low quality in comparison. When it was all downscaled it was harder to tell i guess.
 
I tested a PNG file which has no edits and was exactly the same as the source and it didn't work. So the pallet isn't the only problem but the PNG format itself.
 
Your scanline don't looks bad, do you use internal shader with aali driver or other method ?
 
One thing I noticed in the movie pack you did Satsuki is that a few of the videos use french. Anyways to get an english version. Ending2 for example.

Well i'm french so ,i've done the french videos (as i said in the first post "I've also refiltered the videos files from french psx version")
For the ending2 you just need to overwrite the french sur with english sub, for the jenova_e it need to be done from english version of the game.
For the ending2 it may need to be retranslated with the BEACAUSE retranslation project ?

I'll do the english videos file if needed but not for some time, i have a project to complete first (for the french version of ff7)
 
Hello,
Thank you very much for your work worthy of a real remaster.

For the curious, here are some screenshots:

Click to expand...
The part witch aren't released are : minigame, disc, game over, credits, magics, menu.
For the credits, disc, game over, and menu as it's eavily language related i won't do any release (the avalanche menu overhaul is great !)
For the magic i'm correcting the Kela51's one (not 100% done but he'll or i'll release the corrected version after that) : https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/12834/
For the minigame i only have done small improvment over the waifu version in chocobo, condor and snowboard (i can post an updated version but it will be french only), you can use the Grimmy's english version : https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/11260/
 
@Reiletuag
thanks but there's some screenshots in the first post in "spoiler"
I removed the spoiler flag so the screenshots are showing up directly
 
Some of those fields are really impressive.  It's a shame others need to have heavy filtering.

Yes, it' sad that ff7 si not constant in quality accross the game, the 2 main problems are that the downscale used by squaresoft in 1998 is not a good one and produice aliasing in original game desing and it's hard to upscale well, and the other one is the palette colors witch made some field a real mess to upscale without eavy filtering...
For exemple the game2, one of the hardest to upscale:
-Original game (upscale 4x with no interpollation for visual compare):

-Upscale with no filtering :

-Actual render :

Hi satsuki, thanks for your mod!
I've installed over my 1998 FFVII but the battle texture don't work, all other one loaded correctly.
Can you please help me?
 
I'm really enjoying this release! Thanks again!

Quick question, what is the difference between the French movies and English? Because I'm not seeing a difference?

Thanks so much!!
 
@indrema
Could you tell me if in your mod folder you have a "battle" subflolder ?

@Ravoz
There's 2 videos with subtitle, the Ending2.avi and the JENOVA_E.avi
If you have english subtitle then you don't use my vidéos ^^
have you extrated and replaced the existing video in your "\data\movies\" folder ?
Maybe some video have different name in english version too ?
 
Yes I have the battle folder, but in my installation there is also Reunion 05c 60fps mod and Mexico's hard mod.
