Hey borde, ice cold and storm how are you guys doing hope your having good times redesigning the npc's

any news on  :wicked: teasers :wicked: or new updates

good luck all of you on the rest of the npc's :D
 
Hello, I'm new here and I have just tried out this modification. I have to say that you guys are doing a great job on this, the game is much more fun to play with these detailed characters. Unfortunatelly, I couldn't enjoy it for long, because I've run into a problem. I own the original US version of the game, and I installed things in this order:

1st - The FF7 XP patch 1.2
2nd - The Chocobo race patch
3rd - The NPC character reconstruction mod (I'm sure I installed it the right way)

Well, after that I started a new game to test the mod. Everything was running just fine, until I got in the first battle of the game. The game crashed right before the battle started.

Any thoughts?  :(

Offtopic: Does anybody know if it's possible to change the music that plays in a battle (Like setting the boss music to play in Ruby Weapon)? Sorry to go a bit off topic, it's just something I had in mind...
 
Hi Terid__k and welcome!!!  first... I don't think your problem comes from our patch... in fact I'm experencing the same exact problem when I switch to another application without closing the game and then return in the game ... as soon as I encounter an ennemy the game crash... as I said I think your problem must comes from something esle 'cause if it was the field models the problem ... it would crash on the field... not in the battles... but I can't help you more than tell you to try to reinstall the game,  install the 1.02 patch and then the NPC patch (I recommand to download my edition 'cause it's the lastest version of the patch if we consider that in the next version of the npc patch all the models will be like this and I've modified some things on the models... you can find my edition in the first post of the 5th page of this topic)... maybe if you reinstall the game before you have more chance that  it will work... oh and never switch to another application while you play 'cause it crashed almost every time for me ...
and for the music you can use the Facedula's ff7music patch. go to
http://www.sylphds.net/f2k3/
and go to ff7 programs, you'll find it there

and Thrashamatrix I will upload some pics of my new models soon I'll let you know when It'll be done... but I don't know when we'll publish a new update ... well we work as fast as we can !!...

oh and AOD, Christian ... sorry for my mistake with Tsang... Tsneg... Tseng.... well I don't know anymore with all this!!! lol

well see you
 
Well, since the new version is getting delayed for too long, I think it's time to release some images. Here you have some of the models I've done lastly:

Hope we finish sometime soon but, as I've said other times, I'm bussy so can't promise anything.
 
Wow this looks great!!!
Please keep on working, i cant wait for the patch  :lol:
 
:o  :o  :o  :o  :o
DAMN!!!  (Take away my shoes and call me shoeless) thats by god the best thing Iv seen today and I just saw Carmen Elektra riding a sybian :roll:
 
Those are awserm and they are the NPC's that people wanted changed (I don't know if i stand alone) it's really high definition and looks proffesional, who did them, Borde?  Massive props to whoever

One thing that I am thankful for is that you guys arnt charging for downloads (s**t! don't get any ideas though :wicked:)

Good job, this is a must have for any FF7 player!

---EDIT---
Just a suggestion/question ...(sort of) why dont you guys use more femineme (excuse spelling) shoes (more sleek) instead of boots you would find at hiking stores and dont get me wrong they look good its just they look out of place on a little kid.
 
well Thrashamatrix... Borde is using big feets and big hands for his models that's his style ... his models looks pretty good indeed it's just that I'd make the boots and the hands and the feet a little smaller
 
wow guys, I cant belive the professional quality of the remakes. Excellent excellent work, its obvious that you guys are getting better and better at redoing the models. Well ill stop licking ass now, but im so impressed. Well done.
 
Wow borde, you made those models just by moving vertices and recolouring ? That's some great job !
 
I agree.
I have never seen anything like this made using so simlpe tools.

Great Job!

Thanks for the support to everyone. That's something that certainly rises my moral :-P. Yes, those are my models, but I must say that stormmedia and ice_cold513 are doing a very good job too.

Well Mirex, to be technically acurate, I'm also adding and removing polygons :-P. And stocking P files, that sure helps a lot to rise the detail level.

Once again, I'd like to thank you Mirex and Alhexx for your programs and documentation. Without them, probably It would have been impossible for me to program Kimera and thus start this project. :-)

NOTE: Once again, I'd like to say that redoing models is not THAT hard. It's just a matter of immagination and patience (specially patience).

NOTE2:By the way, did anyone notice the fact that the torso of the first model is actually Shiva's torso? Heavily moded, of course :-P
 
looks like it's show time hehe so here some pics of the 4 models I've done since I started to do new models

It's really great job, guys! The problem is that the hands and feet difference between Borde's and Stormmedia's creations might make the fianal result a bit inconsistent...

I personally would surely go with Stormmedia's take of it but I'm extremely happy to see this group work together and deliver such results! Really...Congratulations!

P.S. Stormmedia, isn't the red papillon in the last picture pointing to the wrong direction (up instead of down ?)
 
Really good idea to use the graphics that are already in the game to help you out Borde, the battle characters still look good for a game made way back in 97, it looks fantastic. Im delighted that they actually have facial features and hands!! The models are shaping up, and its great to see you guys progress so well. And stormmedia, dont take this the wrong way or anything, your models look great, but I had to laugh at the old man, i think we now know the whereabouts of osama bin laden!!  :lol:
 
Okay
Now that Borde and Stormmedia have shown their recent treasures dont you think it would be fair if the fox (ice cold) will show his stuff next.

Storm its very nice and no complaints,  good job A+
*runs for cover*
 
haha spyrojyros_tail I didn't even noticed it but that true my old man looks like bin laden!!!

and salk that's true I used more conventionnal hand and feet for my models but Borde likes SD style models so ... well for my personnal use I will resize some hand and feet on his models if he doesn't but it's still great like that in my opignion... and for the red papillon well if fact it's not pointing anywhere .. it's not the same papillon.. it's just that from this angle it looks like to point up

Oh and thanks to everyone for there support it mean a lot to us hehe

see you
 
And stormmedia, dont take this the wrong way or anything, your models look great, but I had to laugh at the old man, i think we now know the whereabouts of osama bin laden!!  :lol:
Click to expand...

My first impression was that he looked like Fidel Castro, anyway great work Storm, Borde and Ice. Looking forward to the next release

viva la revolucion!
 
here my new one lol I'm kinda proud of it it's why I show it to you right now hehe .... I made this one yesterday
