FF7 PC is really an old game, thus for modern computers I think it'll run fine using direct method if there's a slow down in performance because of any mods I think its not that significant.. TA's Bombing mission mod which is really high res and detailed might be an exception I'm guessing that one will demand for faster computers..

it's confirmed according to Aali himself..
Its bad for performance basically. LGPs are much faster and with the way the game is designed (load alot of data from disk in big batches and keep it in memory for a relatively short time) its just not going to run well on low end rigs if a bunch of mods start using direct mode. Direct mode is meant for testing only and if we keep it that way we wont ever see any of the potential issues it could cause.

That doesn't mean we have to stick to the LGP format forever, it would be technically possible to implement a complete replacement. As with all complete replacements though thats a massive task and its probably not going to happen anytime soon.

Here to clarify some things for you.

-FF7 mods encounter problems sometimes due to incompatible computer so a post of your specs might be a good.

-for the app log, its a file found on your ff7 directory, after running ff7, open this a file and post the contents here. It will be helpful to identify what errors you might be encountering while playing the game.

-Screenshots will also be helpful to identify your problem.

So if you want help, your cooperation will be appreciated.
Also read the earlier posts, There have been known problems before with this red textures on some computers, so try reading the solutions provided before it might help. ;D

can someone tell me what too do to make it work
 
hmm.. it says you have a broken LGP, so you may start by not using LGP tools as stated in the app.log,

have you tried installing the mod thru direct method? with direct method you wont need to recompile battle LGP, just copy the files for Red on the correct folder in the Direct folder in your ff7 directory, also make sure to enable direct method in the ff7 config,

You must use a legitimate version of FF7: either the 3 CD-ROM version or the 2012 ReRelease download version.
The Ultima version is not supported.

If you're just installing the Red XIII model, there is no reason for a modified flevel.lgp.
 
this is the only mod ive ever had trouble with the other mods i have dont do this at all ive tried everyting is there another red xiii mod i can download thats not banned
 
I have not seen or known of other redXIII model on par or better than this one. ( Aside from ripped models)

I have been using this mod before, basing on my experience this mod has no general fault/issues that may cause errors, so I'm inclined to believe that your problems are caused by either bad computer compatibility or user error while installing.

You said you tried everything, so have you tried installing via direct method? With this we can rule out the possibility of error in recompiling.

Or are you using a legitimate version of FF7 and not the Ultima like Pitbrat said above?
 
yes ive tried direct method and yes i have a legit copy and its not ultima
 
I would suggest taking a screenshots of your FF7 folder and post that here. There are probably useful information there that you didn't tell us (maybe because you forgot or didn't know about it).
 
Wow many thanks Kela51 ! Greatest Red XIII I ever saw ! Using it now using direct path ! :)

Kleyon.
