Advent Avatars mod <-- Still looks ridiculously better, and it only shows their faces really
Reunion patch <-- Can you at least show a screenshot comparison?
Scene Redux 1.2 <-- This patch makes almost all enemies morphable into items, It also prevents to steal and win the same item at once a makes the stealing rate more realistic and less frustrating. The Mod also introduces some items that were not carried by any enemy before thus trying to rebalance the underrepresentation and uniformity of the number of stealable items.

So I'm trying to get this to work now, but its not. What's the best way to troubleshoot any issues? I'm running Win7 Retail (a legit copy), 32 bit. Installed FF7 from my original game disks, have play disk 1 (not install disk) in my drive. Installed the download from the first post. When I run the batch file or the start menu shortcut, ff7music runs, the screen blanks for a moment, and then closes, ff7music closes.

My laptop has more than enough power to run the game, native resolution 1680x1050. Here is my opengl config and the output from FF7Music, any ideas?:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
# ff7_opengl config file# use shaders, if available and supported# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backenduse_shaders = yes# 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 effectspost_source = shaders/smartbloom.postenable_postprocessing = no# display frames per second counter in upper right cornershow_fps = no# 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 = 1680window_size_y = 1050preserve_aspect = nofullscreen = yes# 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 = no# 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# 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

It says the resolution you're trying to run it at is unsupported by your monitor. Change the resolution and it should work.

What's your laptop's monitor size? mine is 15.4 in and i can't get resolutions higher than 1280x800.

Tried 1680x1050 (my native resolution), 1024x768, 640x480, same issue.
 
bizarre... Try running FF7Config via the start menu shortcut and after you close out of it, there should be a prompt to apply a registry key. Click yes.

If the prompt doesn't appear, goto the FF7 folder and double click a file called FF7OpenGL.reg.
 
Quick question....I noticed that when I receive a limit break I get a slight hang up or lag when selecting the limit icon....any ideas of why this might be happening? This didn't happen when I had most of these mods installed one by one in the past. The only mod I didn't have was the 2d overhaul but i dunno i'm lost.

2d overhaul causes this. Its a known tradeoff. Better graphics, some slight slowdowns.
 
Thanks for the quick reply and yeah, I can live with it for sure  :lol:
 
Hrm... so I've put some thought into earlier suggestions:
Advent Avatars mod <-- Still looks ridiculously better, and it only shows their faces really
Reunion patch <-- Can you at least show a screenshot comparison?
Scene Redux 1.2 <-- This patch makes almost all enemies morphable into items, It also prevents to steal and win the same item at once a makes the stealing rate more realistic and less frustrating. The Mod also introduces some items that were not carried by any enemy before thus trying to rebalance the underrepresentation and uniformity of the number of stealable items.

And I still think that the Advent Avatars don't fit with the game (the 2D Overhaul will come out with more accurate high res avatars in due time, anyway), and I don't feel like hunting down the reunion patch or screencaps of it, but as for the "scene redux"... Scene.bin is the AI file, and I've already included a remastered scene.bin that doesn't deviate from the original game and makes some obscure items easier to find, but the morphing idea isn't a bad one... I'll see what I can do to incorporate something like this into my AI mod. Look forward to this in the next release.

I'm not sure if its possible, but I'd like to make two requests:

1) something to let me normal attack even when I'm limit-broken... Its really frustrating to waste a limit break on a mob with 15 hp left because I have no magic to attack it with >.>
2) party larger than 3 (just for fun)

Oh yea, the bloom thing in the gfx driver makes everything look fugly xD
 
where can i get smartbloom?

will this patch work in ultima edition? will this run in any laptop?
i use the original 4 discs by the way i'm just curious though

I came up with a crash once I was playing outside of Gongaga Village and fighting a Gagighandi. The crash happens when it uses stone stare and then the game will freeze and error out.

Now I hate when people just reports error without doing some troubleshooting so this is what I manage to do to fix this problem.
Once I opened the APP.log I look at the last entry and I found out that a file was missing (\Final Fantasy VII\textures\Spells\seffect\seffect1_06.png). Basically to work around this problem I just copied seffect1_00.png and renamed the copy to seffect1_06.png. This fixed my issue but I am not sure if this is just me or does it affects everyone else. Also I noticed that seffect1_10.png and seffect1_11.png are missing as well but I am not sure if they are used or not.

By the way good work making all this mods work together.
 
I see, that looks like a bug in the 2D Overhaul's files. Not all of them *are* used, so it's difficult to tell which ones are missing and which ones just aren't supposed to be there. Thanks for the info, though, I'll try to pump out a release that fixes this issue right away.

I suspected that there was an error with the seffect files, but I'd never come across it...thanks again!

Why would you want it to? The Ultima edition is shit, so even if it does work, you're bound to run into crazy bugs and whatnot.

But it's got Aali's driver, which has never worked with Ultima Shitdition, and never will. So no.

Use this at your own discretion:  http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1HJAA9HX


Update:

I tried using the smartbloom.post on a resolution of 1024x768 and it speed up the loading of the Avalanche GUI MOD a bit.

By the way I'm using a laptop with an Intel GMA 950...So try it out...

Alright guys, v2.3.2 is complete and uploading now, I'll update the main download link once it finishes.

Updates are:
*Solved 2D Overhaul seffect texture glitch
*Modified AI script so that mostly all enemies are morphable into items
*Added some of TheFavs' artwork to pretty up the installer dialogue
*Attempted to solve a minor unpredictable bug in the installer
 
Um..Titeguy....


What is the size of v.2.3.2 now compared to your first installer?
