Never mind.. I was careless enough not to check different threads. Perhaps I should´ve bought the game for Pc instead of PS =)
 
maybe, but the PC version is VERY hard to come by, and it's not getting any easier, it's actually kinda sad how it flopped on the PC
 
You shouldn't use the Ultima Edition, Kenzai. Apart from its questionable legality, it is a muddled up install, so things won't work right on it. Not only that, but nobody here will provide any support for the Ultima Edition, should something go wrong.
 
well, that should go without saying, but some people here don't quite realize that
 
Yeah, Ultima Edition is just plain crap. Sure, it works and some of the "goodies" that comes with it is pretty fun to play with, but it´s just not worth it in the long run.

I did, however, give the PS discs a try. Since I own a legal Final Fantasy 7 for playstation I guess it´s alright to play those on a Emulator on my laptop. After half an hour or so I got it running. The bad parts is that none of the cool mods can be used on it (duh). But the good part is that I can play with my desktop resolution at 1680 x 1050. And I can also buff up the textures, speed etc. Even though the game looks really nice and runs smoothly I´m still gonna try to get my hands on a legal game for PC. And since I paid for all my FF games so far it would be a shame not to continue that way.
 
Thing is, I´m not that keen on ordering stuff over the internet. Especially when you have to pay using credit card numbers and such. I´d rather order it from somewhere a bit closer and safer =)
Thanks for the tip anyway!
 
It's Amazon.... why wouldn't amazon be safe?  It's not some unknown site.
 
damn, that's in britain, i was about to say "HOLY HELL I CAN GET A NEW COPY"
 
Well, I don´t think that amazon is safe because it does´nt really have any insurance of getting a working game (or at least so it seems). I don´t want to pay for a game, get it shipped here across half the world and then find out that there is a big fat scratch on one of the discs.
 
amazon is relatively safe, i trust amazon very much actually, go for it, you have nothing to lose
 
The last two pages of this has gone completely off topic.  Everyone is mucking up their topic for a great addition to the game and it needs to stop.  If you can't get a legal copy of the game (which you easily can) tough stuff, nobody cares.  If you are "nervous" about buying things online, you're more timid than my grandmother (who makes frequent purchases off of Amazon), again nobody cares.  If you have problems or questions pertaining to the patch, check the topic and see if it has already been addressed, if not the authors welcome your questions.  Otherwise this is all just taking up space.

ok, so...back on topic

anyone wanna help with the patch? i'm sure you'll be welcomed into the team
 
I'd love to get involved with something like this. I've been interested in 3D work for a while and am planning to go to college for animation later on, however as of yet I'm pretty useless. All I've got under my belt is a model of a die in Lightwave 3D.

Would there be anyone willing to sort of guide me along and give me the basics of messing around with the models in FF7? If I can start off with something simple to get the hang of it, I'm sure I could figure things out quick enough to be a decent help.
 
You should give it a try!  A little guidance an practice with this stuff and you can be making some high quality models in no time.  First, grab the programs you'll need:

Kimera by Borde

Biturn by Mirex

PCreator by Reunion

Be sure to also read through the guide.

How to Build FF7PC Models by Borde

Some optional software:

Blender(free open source 3D tool)

Gimp(free 2D image editor)

You've got the right idea.  Just start off small and realize you will not make immaculate models on your first try.  Start with simple objects and improve upon them and learn from them.  Now with PCreator we can bring in any .3ds file and make it a battle or field .p file, so use any modeller you are comfortable with that can export to .3ds.  Now everybody get out there and start modelling!  :-D
 
HEEELP!
NPC RP crashes my game. It's not random. There are certain points at which crash occurs. For example right at the start when Barret is about to jump off train. I also tried my savegame near North Corel. World map is wow, fights are wow, field in mining town is wow but whenever I'm trying to enter any tent the game crashes.

After first crash I made new clean install and applied only 1.02 Eidos patch but the problem is the same. So it must be something in char.lpg (mine is 58.7MB after NPC patch).

Before NPC RP patch my game handled just fine ALL of the following patches (latest):
The Saint's hi-res patch
high quality battle Cloud
YAMP with all patches from Dziugo
Advent avatars mod
FF7Music
and even the great Hand patch (I'm desperate to swap this with NPC RP)

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR AWESOME WORK GUYS but it don't work for me!!! Oh my I want it so badly!!!

Heeelp! Anyone with similar symptoms and experiences?
What's wrong???  :cry:

oh and I'm running on XP, Radeon 9600, Athlon XP.
 
Have you tried changing the Compatibility Mode of ff7.exe to Windows 95? That worked for me!
