Its very weird.. I found an Aerith model for the field with textures rvac, rvad and rvae.tex. They are for the AUFF.hcr, the same hcr Scarlet normal uses.

But when loading Scarlet in Kimera it says "can't find amcd" etc.. Anyone know how to make it read rva-textures instead?
 
I have decided there will be two Scarlets because i can't get her textures to work otherwise.

If anyone have an idea where to get the tutorial for .tex-files i would be very happy.
 
Aerith is going to replace Scarlet as a villain, but her textures will be wrongly placed if i don't get any help on the matter.

I don't know how to make her textures work without overwriting Scarlets.
 
I think i did mess up somewhere.

Aerith has been replaced by Scarlet for all her models. But i did not replace the original Scarlet with the original Aerith. Rather, i replaced Scarlet with Aerith with flowers.

I don't know, maybe i should of had replaced her with the original Aerith model instead?

As i already have the texture files for Aerith w Flowers used by Scarlet w flowers.

I don't know, it's not important for my goal anyway to replace the original Scarlet. It's weird though that i can't use Aeriths texture-files for Scarlet when she has replaced Aeriths model.

Evil Aerith - Scarlet npc model replaced with Aerith flower model (warning, shares texture-files with Scarlet in dress and Scarlet normal field model - will mess upp their facial textures if used). Don't know how to fix this problem- don't replace the textures and Aeriths face will be messed up but otherwise the model will work. It's better to have Scarlet's textures work than Aeriths:

Use UNLGP to unrar your FF7 lgp-files, add the new content into the new folder (make sure to not add folders and only the files) and create your new lgp-file and name it char for field models, battle for battle models and menu for avatars.

Feel free to make the model better and do whatever you want with it. I would be happy though if you tried to have the original look if going to change it, and don't forget crediting me :P.

If someone can fix the texture-problem i would very much want to know what was wrong. As it is now NPC Aerith shares textures with dress-Scarlet and Field-scarlet - and you can't have them all at the same time without the other side losing their faces..

I forgot to add this in the readme, but i modified the PRB-versions of the characters after installing the Tifa's Bootleg-mod.

I don't know if it works without it. It would look weird anyway if you have the blocky characters and this version of Scarlet! So i suggest that you install Tifa's Bootleg first.

Feel free to include my characters in Tifa's 7th Heaven mod if you want to.
 
I just want to say this if you have Tifa's Bootleg installed: Don't use the LGP-method for installing Scarlet's Avatar. Just drop the .png-file in your FF7/Mods/Bootleg/Menu folder and make sure to rename it with the same name as Aeriths picture - and click "ok" on overwriting the old file.

I only put the .tex-files in my rar-folder. Search for "Scarlet Avatars" on google to find the same Avatar that i used, and make it a .png-file by saving it as such. I used GIMP to make it HD-quality. And it's a good thing to keep the original Bootleg avatars and just paste the new avatar over the old one in GIMP. The picture must be placed like those pictures are for it to fit the selection screen in the best way possible. I recommend that you open up one of the old avatars in gimp and then overwrite the picture of Aerith with Scarlet's picture in GIMP.

I will release a .png avatar when my next battle model is released.

Alternatively you can use the program "Omega" to change my .tex Aerith files into bmp-files. And after that save them as .png.

Place this in your FF7/Mods/Bootleg/menu folder and save it as a .PNG-file if it isn't one by default. Name it earith_00. This is the easiest way to get a new avatar.

Edit 2018-07/24 - Scarlet Avatar Picture updated, background is now transparant.

All the scenes with Scarlet in MIDGAR can be watched in this video:

I have removed all other scenes if they aren't essential for Scarlet's story.
 
Hello all, i just wanted to update this tread with some news:

Due to virus i had to reinstall windows for my "work"-pc and therefore i needed to reinstall FF7 with the whole Bootleg-mod. The game didn't start even tough the installation seemed to proceed as it should, and due to this fact i lost interest in the project for a while. But i am going to release the completed battle-model somtime in the near future.

In the meantime i have some more Youtube-videos of the released version of my mod to show you all:

Hello all! Unfortunately i think my base-game has been stolen by some people visiting me. I am really sad about it because i have had my copy of FF7 since 1997 and it was a gift. I shall search the whole apartment for it soon and leave no stone untouched so to say. This has delayed work on my mod..

I managed to find some old burned copies of my FF7-disc 1 and disc 3 though.

Therefore i have finished the Youtube-videos but have stil to finish the Scarlet battlemodel.

New battle model of Scarlet of the Shinra, replacing Aeriths battle model in the game Final Fantasy VII for PC. I have modified the PRB-versions of the characters using Tifa's Bootleg Mod. Install Tifas Bootleg mod first.

MOD-DB Download link:

http://www.moddb.com/games/final-fantasy-vii/addons/scarlet-mod-v-20-play-as-scarlet-of-the-shinra

Installation Instuctions:

You need a program called unlgp to be able to unrar lgp-archives (FF7- gamefiles), or to be able to repack them again.

Download UNLGP.

Learn how to use it through it's readme-file and then do the following to install my addons.

1. Back up your "char.lgp" found in your FF7/data/field folder. Then unpack it using UNLGP and rename that folder "char". You can unrar an lgp-archive by doubleclicking on the lgp-file after you have installed the program unlgp. Put all the field-model files in your new "char"-folder. These includes Scarlet 5 years old, Scarlet 10 years old, Scarlet with flowers, Scarlet finished field model, Scarlet in dress files and Evil Aerith who replaces Scarlet as an npc.
UPDATE: All versions of Scarlet are now compatible with Aeriths textures. You can play with Evil Aerith now without getting the textures messed up.  Just copy and paste all the files including the texture-files into your char-folder.
When you have decided who you want to add you should create a new lgp-file. You can do this easy by clicking on "swift" at the same time while you are right-clicking on the folder. Click on "create lgp" as it will be such an option. The file will then be created and you should wait until it finishes. Make sure the file is named char.lgp. Now, if you start your game you will have the field models.

2. The AVATAR. Go to your FF7 base folder in FF7/data/Menu and then doubleclick on your menu_us-lgp file. Back up your original lgp-file. Then add the new Avatar picture file, .png file-format. Do the same process as before and create your new menu_us.lgp-file. Wolla, now you have Scarlet as an avatar.

3. The battle model. Go to your FF7/data/battle folder. Repeat the same process as before by adding the battle model-files to the newly created battle-folder, repack the folder into an lgp-file and make sure it is named battle.lgp, make a backup of the original file as before before doing this. Start the game and Aerith has been replaced by Scarlet of the Shinra in battle.

If you do all these steps you will have a fully working Scarlet-mod. But i have still to make the battle-model better.

Happy playing!

Video of the new Scarlet battle-model when fighting bosses and using all her limit breaks:

 
I have begun work on a new character. But it won't be finished soon as i am changing some of the animations for the model and it's some massive modding required to replace all the frames of just one of the model part animations. There are like 15 parts of a character model, and each body part has like between five and 44 frames, depending on what animation you are replacing. But i really had no choice because the character looks ugly otherwise.

I am replacing Barret Wallace next.
 
Just so everyone knows: My Scarlet character ain't finished yet.. I will release a final version of the character later when some things are done.
 
Update: I have just finished resizing the field models of Scarlet in dress, Scarlet with flowers & the normal field version. I have very recently learnt how to use the Kimera program better, and therefore managed to get the right proportions. Scarlet no longer looks fat compared to her NPC-model counterpart.

I am also halfway through the process of giving Scarlet her own victory pose animation.
