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

[KennyCleod]

... We do not support pirating at this forum... You make the isos yourself with your original copies of the FF7 game...
Or you put the disc in the drive.

And i wasn't asking about Windows 7

I was asking about Final Fantasy Seven Ultima Edition... the kind you have to download...

(sigh)

sorry man dont sigh im sorry okay and thanks for everything i will download FF7 Ultima Edition. thank you everyone but thanks more to you haha

He was trying to tell you to not use the ff7 ultima edition as it is pirated and does not work with most of the mods.

oh god how stupid am i. i should read properly next time. alright then. i will get the original FF7 game. sorry for so mannnnnny things. because im very DUMB. havent sleep well lately.

Ummm, just tried to download the remix patcher (full version 2.3.3) and both the main and mirror links are broken...

yeah, my main hosting server is down, and my mirror wiped the data for some reason... or moved it possibly? At any rate, I'm re uploading the mirrors, so those should work soon.

Oh cool, sorry if that had already been brought I just wanted to check you were aware of it []

i'm having problem with the fmv audio.

Game sound effect and music working fine, the opening fmv is fine too, but the fmv doesn't have sound.  I haven't pay attention to the problem until playing disc 2 today, so i'm not sure whether the previous fmv had this problem, so far as i remember, the death of aerith fmv on dics 1, the explosion of the north crater on disc 2 both don't have sound.

how do i find out what the problem is?

Codec Issues. Google "CCCP" and download it. It should be a codec pack that'll solve your issues.

I have k-lite codec packs installed as well, the orignal fmv plays fine outside of game, but just doesn't play the pcm audio during the game.  I know it should be something related to decoding audio, but don't know what's to use to decode it during game.  Here's a comparison info of the mp3 encoded opening.avi to the rest of the orginal fmv using GraphStudio:

Ah, I think know what your problem is. Is the sound sort of dithering out as soon as the opening FMV plays? Is it just the high quality fmv's that have issues? If so, then the problem might be that your computer can't handle decoding the high quality fmv's in-game, and aali's driver's decoder just simply dithers out the audio when the audio and video can't sync up.

Solution: copy the fmv's from your original game discs into the movies folder, overwriting all of the high quality ones. If this is in fact your problem, then doing this should fix it right up.

It's the opposite, the high quality fmv (1280x960) are working fine. It's the orginal fmvs (320x224) that I'm having problem with.

I see... well since you said that they play fine in a media player, i'm inclined to believe that this isn't the problem, but try installing this and this then verifying that this file is in your system32 folder.

I try reinstalled the true motion 2 decoder, but the same problem still exist, still no audio.

I've done another quick test, by replacing the hq opening fmv with any other videos from the original fmvs (renaming it to opening.avi), and surprisingly the audio came out when i choose start new game.  It seems like the audio only works on the opening fmv at the start of the game, and didn't work after that.  So I suspect that it was the Aali's driver issue you mentioned earlier that's causing the problem.


UPDATE: I reinstalled the whole game and the remix patch, and everything is working fine now, thanks for the help.

Hey.....

I know you get asked this all the time, but do you know when the main download link will be up and running.

Or does anyone else have a link to thier copy of the installer.

Thanks in advance

Yeah it's a big issue, it takes me more than 5 hours to upload the file, so i need to overnight it. I've been being somewhat of an insomniac lately though. I'll post when It's up, though.

 

[titeguy3]

Alright, all mirrors should be up and running by now!

 

[Beavii]

Will get it tested and then try again.....

Hey, I'm kind of having a weird issue. First of all I'd just like to say Thanks for making this patch it was really helpful especially since all the times I reinstalled this game and applied all my mods one by one. The problem I'm having is not a big deal but maybe other people have it. For some reason Barrets character model from the NPC reconstruction is missing his beard. If you just look at him every couple of seconds his beard will appear and then disappear. I haven't had any other known problems and all other characters are fine. I tried reinstalling from a clean install but no luck. I even tried on a totally different computer so now I'm kinda stuck. Any Ideas?

Bump for help!!!!

Two things:
1) Please don't bump threads. If I didn't respond, it's because I haven't checked the forums yet, not because it wasn't on top of the page.
2) I haven't tested the installer on other language releases. It looks like you're missing a file (data\minigame\condor.lgp). A file my installer doesn't modify in any way, but that the executable requires. The file should have been there when you installed the game initially, look for it by browsing your install CD, it'll probably work after you replace it (and any other files that may be missing off the german version...or just your install). If it isn't on your install CD, then I can say without hesitation that this installer is not compatible with the german version of the game

EDIT: It could also be the case that you installed the patch to some directory other than where you initially installed the game, that could also cause this issue. Check to make sure you installed the patch into the right place. This *could* be a Win7 compatibility issue since I haven't tested on Win7. I can guarantee compatibility for Vista x64 and below, but not Win7.

That's a common issue. It's there, but it flickers. So far, I've ignored this in favor of more vital issues, but perhaps I'll fix it in a later release. I've got much less time on my hands now that its not summer anymore, but if I get time, I'll get crackin'.

Thanks for getting back so soon. I'm actually having another problem. I was trying to get the new alias custom driver so I can have a full screen start menu but I believe the one you have in the remix patch isn't the newest one. Ive tried to upgrade it after the remix patch but something always goes wrong. If you don't mind do you think you could make an updated remix patch with the updated alias custom driver?

GI.. The Aali version included is quite stable. You COULD replace it with a newer version, but that's somewhat complicated and each version has it's own quirks and bugs. Any way, you can edit the "ff7opengl.cfg" with notepad and and set "full screen = (true/yes)" for full screen usage. Make sure to run the coorect registry editor to "save" it.

To titeguy: This is a nice installer. It might help if you included/ made available a installation and set-up guide to help others install and set-up the game correctly. I would probably cut down a lot of questions and confusion surroundling how to tweak certain areas/mods to fix simple problems and maximise usage of all.. ie. Ficedulas, Aali's.. etc.

As a third note: I'm havining a strange problem with sound effests dissappering after 15-20 mins. I still have music, just no sound effects. I'm using a P4 3.0 prescott, 1 GB RAM, SB Audigy Value, and 7800 GS (AGP) with XP SP3. Any suggestions or hints?

Right now I would stick to the older version of the driver as RW suggested. There are a few bugs in the new one. One minor fix to his advice. You do not need to run the registry key after modifying the config file. You only need to redo it if you happen to run the ff7config program
