FF7 Unified Model Installer
U03 is HERE


Pitbrat: Model information, model sorting and fixing, documentation
DLPB: Installer, maintainer
Grimmy: Additional model sorting and fixing.


The following list is based on full models only and ordered by number of releases.
Model faces or hair, for example, are not included but authors have been credited
at the end. Pitbrat has done immense work with fixing and sorting a lot of these
models. Grimmy has also fixed and shaded numerous models.

We have a mish mash of models, authors and installers- some way out of date, and it is a nightmare.

One thing I could do to correct this was to create a proper installer and have total order, rather than total chaos.  And so, the Unified Model Installer was born.

I, Pitbrat and Grimmy worked together to bring to you the Unified Model Installer, to ensure all current legal models are put together in 1 neat package.  No more conflicts, no more worrying that the wrong models are being added, no more broken models,no more confusion or broken out-of-date installers.  No more messing about.  Life is simple.

Part of this project was also to document exactly which models have been done and which need doing.  The respective modellers are of course credited.  This project is for the purpose of bringing these models to you properly.  We are not the authors of these models.

If the authors refuse permission to add these models to our new installer, we will respect that decision but we hope they will work with us.

Nice. Is a pain in the arse having to instal one by one (and also looking for them).

And it would be nice if we could have all main characters models combats and not only two or three, but i know it's difficult to make, so good luck on this new project!

They wont make any new models
They will only make an installer that includes currently existing legal models
 
Pitbrat is busy documenting and getting models into correct places... and I have started preparing the installer.  I have devised a simple method and it works...  the hard part will be making sure there are no conflicts and accounting for all the models :)

But I don't think my part in this is all that difficult compared to the bore fest pitbrat has....

First release will be U001: all current models.

Models will continue to be added as and when available.

This is a very good idea. I'm looking forward to the first release.
 
I would request that you leave any Team Avalanche models out of your compilation. At least until i discuss things with the team.
 
So the basic idea is get all the models that are on qhimmm forum ( Individual models / PRP / etc etc  etc ) and put in one "Huge" pack with installer and custon option to install/inject into a battle / field lgp?
 
I'm still making progress on separating the models.
I'm easily confused, so I work slowly.
The PRP models are a big blob of a mess with intermingled model files.
Every time I think things are flowing smoothly, I find a problem model and get sidetracked.
Everything else is ready for final testing.
Then I will need to conform my folder structure to DLPB's installer and consolidate the documentation.
But that's the easy part . . .

Thank you all for the continued interest!
 
hi guys. this is my first post just discovered the website and signed up and already playing FF7 as of yesterday. I really wanted to give my  2 quarters worth in saying THANK YOU!!! DOMO ARRIGATO GOZAIMASU!!!! all the authors and people making these mods and installers as well. i'm very overwhelmed but appreciate the installers and tutorials.

and i can not wait till u finish this project. i wish i knew an inkling of anything related to computer programming and drawing and stuff... i'd definitely help. all i have to give at this moment is some newcomer encouragement and my angel of hope  :evil:

i have purchased 3(technically 4- the 4th was giving a friend like $10 for his copy... not bought from a store) individual copies of FF7 in the past [stupid scratches and my lil borther kept losing them] and now don't have any of the copies nor a psx. Seeing as Square's got plenty money worth from me; i downloaded the torrent, sorry if this offends anybody, but i do appreciate your attention to copyright and legal models.
 
What a great work it should be! Only a thing: it will modify ff7.exe? I ask this because I'm worried the spanish derivated traslation (spanish and more important to me, italian) couldn't use this... you'll be caring this extra versions? Thank you :D
 
Do you any help from us in any way so that we can make your work easier???
 
No this won't be editing ff7.exe.. models are not there.  Thanks for request for help but it is under control.  8-)

Pitbrat has now supplied me (through much slaving) the full ordered files, so now I will get to work on installer and making sure it is all working.

Hopefully a release soon.  8)

Awesome! Can't wait for this.  :-)
 
I love this idea! Unpacking and repacking etc gets to be so tedious!
