Final Fantasy VII Remix - A compilation of FF7 Mods [1.0-2.5.1]

titeguy3 · Apr 9, 2010

Humm, i see.
Although from the vids seems menus & font can be at least "sharpened":

Remix pack screen:

Screen from the vid i posted before:

Anyway, i've been searching threads in this section and seems no one tried to do some overhaul to summons and let's be realistic, they're part of the magic of FF series. That guy from the vids i posted before seems to be using models from other FFs to replace the original ones:

Ifrit -> FF8 (?)
Shiva -> FF10
Odin -> FF8 (?)
Neo Bahamut -> FF10
Bahamut-ZERO -> new model?
Choco -> new model?
Ultima Weapon -> new model?

Anyway, don't take this as dissing, i'm loving the work you guys are putting here, didn't know people still worked on FF7 until some days ago, and every little work is awesome to make the game better.

Just hoping someone with modeling skins happens to remodel summons someday :-D

That screenshot is out of date, it's from v2.3.1 IIRC. The newest version has all of the latest updates and looks better. (I should really upload a new vid). I don't even think that's the issue though, it's probably just a matter of video quality. I took my videos at 640x480 because my computer couldn't handle taking videos at a higher resolution. You can run the game at 1080p if you want to.

New models are doable, it's just a matter of time before they're all done. Same with new textures.

Changing the layout of the menus isn't without someone who seriously knows how to edit ff7.exe's architecture.

EDIT: That nanaki model looks like ass.

My bad, Tekkie.X. I didn't pay attention to who the "author" of the video was. Yeah, that guy is taking credit for everything, but didn't do any of those modifications.

Ah, if you meant someone else than that's cool, spending a fair amount of time on CDG and FPSbanana where credit theft is sometimes treated like murder does this to a man.

Btw, i've finished downloading the pack.
To install i just do it over the vanilla game or do i have to install the 1.0.2 patch first?

Cuz i'm getting black screen upon starting the game..

It should be fine from the get-go. Can I see your APP.log?

Hey titeguy, 'sup?

wow, i haven't been able to connect to the website for some time and Aali and you had made so much improvements over the time!!! nice, keep it up!!!

i "clean" installed your new remix patch, great performance and stability, i just have 1 problem, the battle swirl limiter i have it "on" but damn, it doesn't work, when i get attacked, it almost instantly takes me in the battle with only the battleswirl sound.... kinda annoying...

anyway awesome work, are you planing entering new models/textures? like a new tifa or summons?

Cheers!!!

Nightmarish · Apr 10, 2010

Now the game just starts responding and closes.
After a lot of install/unistall i was able to see the first video once but then in the first menu i couldn't see the sword.

Edit:
Seems i finally got it to work.
At least i've seen the first video, saw the sword in the "new game" and am watching the second video, let's see!

Edit2:

It's working alright! ;D

I see this models weren't used:

<- w-gun machine

<- various mobs

<- first boss

Are these copyrighted models from other games?

secondadvent · Apr 10, 2010

All of those models are from Crisis Core as far as i can tell, which would indeed make them copyrighted material.

Nightmarish · Apr 10, 2010

This is getting annoying..
I'm almost 1h in Train Graveyard and i still couldn't get a single Graviball. Since i can only get it in 2 places i'm trying to get two of those (and use W-Item later) but it doesn't drop.

I don't even steal the Ether from the Deenglow so it's possible to drop, but it doesn't.
Was it removed?

Edit:
Forget it, just after this post got 2 in a row. ???

do you have the german version of the game? I'm afraid getting this patch to work on international versions of the game is a tad difficult right now, the next version I'm working on should be international.

Dead-End · Apr 10, 2010

No its the english version but my OS is German. I'll try your language compability patch and a reinstallation didnt work it always crahes on startup

Nightmarish · Apr 10, 2010

Just to inform that the speed isn't fixed in the "bike & car" minigame after Shinra building.

titeguy3 · Apr 10, 2010

Just to inform that the speed isn't fixed in the "bike & car" minigame after Shinra building.

Great compilation, but I'm having problems with the first minigame on the highway, after Shinra HQ. The FPS in normal game is limited to 60fps (vsync works), but when the minigame kicks in, the fps goes over 200 and its impossible to complete it normally.

Opengl conf:
Code: [Select]

Code:

# ff7_opengl config file# use shaders, if available and supported# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backenduse_shaders = no# plugins# a movie plugin is required, the music plugin is optional, but required to make FF7Music workmovie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgpmusic_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp# vertex and fragment shadersvert_source = shaders/main.vertfrag_source = shaders/main.frag# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects# options are smartbloom.post and bloom2.post# note that shaders/smartbloom.post must be configured to proper resolution, open with notepadpost_source = shaders/smartbloom.postenable_postprocessing = no# display frames per second counter in upper right cornershow_fps = yes# display some real-time debug informationshow_stats = no# set the window size (and fullscreen resolution) of FF7# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratiowindow_size_x = 1024window_size_y = 768preserve_aspect = yesfullscreen = no# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scalingprevent_rounding_errors = yes# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to workenable_vsync = yes# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effectminigame_framelimiter = on# same thing, but for the battle swirlbattleswirl_framelimiter = on# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer sourceuse_new_timer = yes# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is onuse_stable_timer = yes# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detaillinear_filter = off# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effectfancy_transparency = off# read files directly instead of using LGP archives# this option requires you to have all your LGP archives unpacked in direct/, with one folder for each archive# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd instead# this option should be used for testing only, performance will take a hitdirect_mode = off

That's weird, the framelimiter is on.. you can try using the old framelimiter: goto the patches folder, move the 9999limitbreak stuff into "Do Not Want", then go into "Do Not Want", and move the "HighwayAndSnowboardMinigamesFix" files out to the "patches" folder. Then run "InstallYAMPNormalMode" and "InstallYAMPHardcoreMode" once each and hopefully the problem will be solved...

Dead-End · Apr 10, 2010

It's working again! Seemed that the ff7opengl registry enty was corrupt I deleted it and use one of a fresh installation and it works now. But all my savegames became invalid so I have to start from scratch again ./

Buster · Apr 11, 2010

Excellent work ,maybe a stupid question but i am a noob iv download this patcher and its all working fine i noticed 9999 break limit file in patches folder how do i actually use them ?(where do i put them )

It's already installed into hardcore mode. If you want to install it into normal mode as well, run "InstallYAMPNormalMode.bat" and everything should be fine.

It sounds like (A) you're not using the shortcuts and (B) you either ran FF7config.exe which uninstalled the FF7OpenGL registry entries or User Account Control blocked the registry entries from going through.

Turning off UAC and reinstalling the patch would probably fix every issue, but you can also fix it yourself by running ff7OpenGL.reg in your FF7 Folder, then using the start menu shortcuts (which would necessitate enabling the classic start menu, you can copy them to your desktop after you've found them) to run the game.

Thanks for the reply but its fix'd its self :? I had UAC off and i was using the shortcuts, ah well thanks anyway and great mod ;D
