[FF7PC] Ultima Espio Aeris patch

[ultima espio]

I've tested the Nibelheim scene like hundreds of times So I have no idea why that happens.

But going by the sound of it, its just your game. Do you have:

1.02 Patch

Custom Graphics Driver

Make sure you use the LATEST version of the CGD, because there was an older version that didn't like field effects. I couldnt get past Diamond Weapon because of the wind effect in the level after it. Once I upgraded the driver, it worked again.

So try that first, then we'll see. Nobody else has reported any errors at all, so it makes me wonder if there are any errors, or if nobody is using it...

Looks as if I already did, and just forgot:

This is somewhat off topic but I didn't wantmto necro.

Couldn't you just copy ff8's "follow-me" code and include it in ff7.exe and have it work with minimal changes or is that the most horrible suggestion ever ?

 

[ultima espio]

No, the codes were completely re written, so ff8 code wouldn't work with ff7.

Would looking at the script for this in FF8 help at all, or am I just being an idiot?

The fieldscript module was completely rewritten in FF8 and uses none of the opcodes from FF7. Not only that. The follow-me code is automatic in FF8, and hard-coded into the field system.

i haven't been using the CGD. lol. i didn't think it was necessary to use . and i only tried the nibelhiem scene once soo... yeah lol. but what about the forgotten capital? when i switch to my regular flevel.lgp, the scene turns night like it's supposed to and i can change into the areas and proceed to watch her death normally kill jenova life, etc. and i do have the 1.02 patch lol.

 

[ultima espio]

I got some crashes too when I was using the regular driver, but the custom one fixed it :S

So, give it a try with the CGD and see what happens. It shouldn't crash at all there, I've tested that scene a lot of times.

CGD is a MUST-have no matter what.

well, i keep crashing after the cut scene where she dies, before the Jenova life battle, given i haven't played up to that point yet, i cheated and used Black Chocobo to see things, but i figured i should say something here. when i play up to the point normally i'll edit post. only mod used is PRP and this patch Ultima.

Note, that i only edited the char.lgp with the PRP patch. (took the files out of their custom .lgp to make it compatible with this patch and left the flevel alone haha.) so technically their shouldn't be compatibility issues? x.x


Edit: Well'p, now it crashes during the night at the forgotten city when im trying to enter the area with the little pond where she's buried. so i do a complete reinstallation, and only install this mod. i then use a save from https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/5908/ <- here. and i still crash at the pond area. im thinking since its a fresh install maybe it's just that area, and i remember the altar glitch with Jenova life. i used Black Chocobo and ported myself there, and it crashes still after the cut scene. i haven't had any problems before so maybe you missed something? x.x

note that so far this is the -ONLY- issue i've had with this mod so far.

Edit 2: i've skipped ahead past that by using black chocobo and did the whirlwind maze. Jenova death fight went smoothe, but when entering the little scene, the illusion of Nibelhiem, my game eventually hangs after Aerith and Tifa move to stand away from Sephiroth and he laughs.

were you using any flevel modifiying mods? if so, how did you merge them? ( the lgp included in the patch is a full lgp, so how do you know which files in the lgp were necessary to be replaced and which not )

i installed the prp patch, found the 00 and 01.lgp's, and looked at their size. the char.lgp files would have to be 100,000 or more, so i extracted it and put all the files into the char.lgp files including the custom ones, then uninstalled the prp patch as im not worried about the battle models, so i could use the Aerith patch after merging Ultimas files in with them, then used the lgp tool (Aali's LGP and UNLGP tools.) and made it into a char.lgp. everything's working fine so far, i fixed the nibelhiem incident, that was my fault. and as for the forgotten capital, Ultima knows about it. we've chatted in pm's about it . the only flevel modifying i've done is using Ultima's included flevel.lgp.

Thanks so much, finally I can incoperate this patch into my huge mod-a-mod-ff7 version. ( where almost nothing is the same anymore, lol. )

One of these days I'll learn how to do proper mods instead of hack 'n bits stuff.  I hope.

 

[AlbusJC]

seriously, thank you for your hard work

 

[ultima espio]

If you spot any errors, please let me know.

 

[Tenko Kuugen]

errors will be hard to identify because of the magnitude of changes I have done myself. But right now, everything works, so I guess i'll report back when I get around to implementing the stuff and playing it.

 

[Aeris]

i haven't been able to see Aerith on the airship when Cloud has resumed control. i saw her in Tifa's spot when Tifa and then Cid were who you are controlling, also i was wondering where you get her new ultimate weapon? annnd i found a point where she isn't present that (at the moment i believe) isn't causing any real harm.

It's when your going after the Huge Materia and you watch the plane take off from Junon, before you go to rocket town to secure the materia from the rocket.

if i find anything else i'll let ya know ^^

 

[Tenko Kuugen]

her new ultimate weapon is ( spoilers. mark the whole post and copy it to see it )
in the slums in the church when you can go back there. there's an event there, or so I'm told.

OR click "reply", quote the post, and you can see it then, with "[color= white] <text> [/color]" written around it (actually posting a reply is optional).

Yeah, I remember that one, I noticed it when I was playing through the other day...just forgot about it

Have you searched the whole Highwind? I thought it was a bit obvious where she went...and it's been mentioned a few times in the thread If you find Aeris, she will tell you where to go.

EDIT: So, it's been out for a while now...and nobody's found what I've hidden

 

[obesebear]

You should probably start posting this around on youtube and other sites so it can get some more attention than our handful of members

 

[cloudstrife777]

hey this is the coolest patch ever thanks but it would be cool if you divide the patch i think into 4 different patches one where her being there no one notices then 3 one that other take notice of her one where she just kinda there one where that"s pro cloudxaerith and one that's pro cloudxtife thanks again for the sweet patch
