no, what I am saying is:
is the latest patch of FF7 the 1.02 is mandatory for this patch?

Thanks For The Help
 
Nop, it's not mandatory. Anyway, 1.02 is strongly recomended for everything.
 
HAHAHAH Finally made it work! Sweet Swett Victory! :-D
But the field characters have been replaced but the ones in battle are exactly the same as before.

Odd enough though in battle graphics only Shinra guards seem to eb replaced, but wolfs and machines are the same (in teh begginings of the game)

Anyway its this the way its sopposed to be? I installed the NPC V6

Olso my monitor is running 1600x1200 in resolution, but the game eventhough its full scrren only 3/4 of the screen is covered and the background is still blurry and blocky, should I install the High Resolution Patch? what are the risks of it?

That's fine, the NPC RP only replaces the field models at the moment.

As long as your monitor supports one of the two resolutions for the SaiNt's High Resolution Patch, you should be fine.  If any thing goes wrong, you just replace the modified ff7.exe with the one from the 1.02 patch.
 
Well!!! its been a while since i've been here... (Like 6 months) hey! stormmedia remember me, if you don't no worries! :cry:

I wanted to know the current status of the NPC-RP the last time I was here was when this was 15 pages of posts not 33...
 
Hey, how you been?

Well we still on V0.6
We are trying to get a new patcher, a more user friend one. To help the newbies, who can't use the LGPTool.
 

Off-topic there a-lot of people doing model's now.

when i get around to it, i will post some pic's
 
:-D Someone remembers me...

How you doing ice_cold, I've been great just not been in contact with computers in these past months and when Qhimm did something to his servers I couldn't log in. so I took that as a hint, lol...

I've seen some real good models!!! your guys quality has changed since I was here everything and the models are more lifelike like a better texture or modeller did you uncover a better technique for doing models...?

Ya you are right everyone just learned how to model ey? scary thought that the NPC-RP might ever actually be finished... :wink:

It will be finish ...... one day :-D

Hay Thrashamatrix it's been a while.  I thought you was killed!  Anyway, the new style of models you speak of are kinda my experiments on 3ds max hehe.  Now that we can convert .3ds to .p, I decided to do my new models on 3ds max.  It allows a lot more details.  Unfortunately I don't have much time for the project right now :-( so my models are kinda in standby.  Hope one day I gonna be able to restart working on this project as much as I did before :-).

Anyway, nice to see you again!

-Edit-

I just updated my screens of Cloud... not a big change though but I improved a little the face...

Anyway just go see the modification here
I just replaced the images.

This may be presumptuous...but Storm, do you think this may be a little much?  I liked the older models you have done because they stay true to the old FF7.  The new models are nice...but they don't quite fit in with the old 2d backgrounds and their faces are a little strange.

Maybe...finished what you started?  I don't know...

Hey there,

Well,  you base this sentence on what exactly?  I didn't post any shots with any of those models ingame, so how can you(or any other who have posted quite the same thing) know they won't fit?  I don't even know myself if they will fit right because they aren't even fully imported into ff7.  All I know is that I've made some tests with high poly and textured models and they fit just fine with the background.  That's for sure that too detailed texture will indeed look weird in the game.  But I never do too much.  If one day I do too much I will notice it don't worry.  I once thought about leaving the project to focus my work on improving my skills in 3ds max.  But at the end I figured that I can do both at the same time.  That's when I started to do these kind of models.  I want you all to know that I won't be going back to my old ways of modeling.  So, since I care about what everyone want into this patch, I'm going to ask you all once and for all :"Do you still want me in the project".  I mean it looks like I don't fit anymore with what the people here wants so;  It might actually be better if I just go away.

Whatever you answer I will respect it.

See you all...

Storm, Cloud is looking great. Are you going to make all the main characters that neat? This project is always getting more interesting. All I can do is just play from version .06 ^_^.

There's nice official pictures of Biggs, Elmyra, Jesse, Marlene and President Shinra on that site.
Do you think someone who knows nothing of modeling can make some models within a week? I know photoshop well...

Maybe... let him do what he wants?  All he is posting is WIP.  Don't like it?  Fine, they aren't in sweat shops making the patches for us....

On PSP sorry for any typos.
 
@stormmedia: Your work is fine if people don't like what your doing thats there problem not yours, your apart of the mod team and if the mod team likes what your doing thats all the support you need. When making your own mod your word is rule so don't worry about the few nay sayers out there who don't think it will work, I think your doing a fantastic job with the patch so far and the rest of the people working on it, and I'm looking forward to seeing cloud ingame.

@afiction: I highly doubt you could start making decent models within a week, not to say it's impossible. But if your good in photoshop you could always find one person to do the modeling and you could do the skinning, as theres always a need for people proficient in photoshop, and the only thing you would have to learn is unwraping UVW's to texture the model. Just a thought.
 
If you don't like it you don't have to use it, plain and simple.

If that was a suggestion you should learn how to suggest in a manner that does not piss off the artist, but anyway...
 
I don't think you have to go stormmedia. Yes, some people doesn't like your job, but you can see there is also a lot of people here who wants to see more of it. If you like doing models, I'd suggest you to stick with your tests.
 
first, let me say that this is fantastic. i just tried it out and it works perfectly. my congratulations and thanks go to everybody involved in the project.

i have one suggestion, maybe not everyone will love it. i think the sword should be removed from cloud's back: it looks cool and all, but it's going to look weird when you get to certain points in the game where cloud draws his sword. plus it looks kind of weird also when cloud is sitting somewhere or stuff like that.

that's about it. keep up the awesome work.

You shouldn't worry about the points where Cloud holds his sword zamuz, that's a different model. Anyway, personally I'd have the sword removed, but it looks like most people like it that way so that's not going to happen.
 
Excuse me if this don't belong here or if its asked alot but i also have the same problem with AVFD.yos and you said it would be fixed in next version but is there any date you think this new version might be out?
