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

[abean]

Probably best just to follow my walkthrough, move your save file in your Save folder to somewhere safe.

Install FF7 onto the new drive, then move the save file back into the folder again, thats how i would do it.

Hi Kylos, as we've already discussed, your walkthrough doesn't cover this topic.

Has anyone installed this with FF7 being installed in a nonstandard directory/drive?

Thanks

i reinstalled the whole remix pack and this time it worked but i still got few minor problems firstly i cant seem to get the ficedula music to play ingame i got no idea whats wrong it says to mute the midi manually but from where? and i still cant figure out how to get sephiroth patch to work with the high detail models i saw video in youtube here is the link

as you can see the field sephiroth is high model and same goes for the battle right now only way for me to get the sephiroth switch to work is to replace the battle.lpg and the others with the original files from the normal final fantasy installation and then apply either scorpicus or icecold patch but that makes all of the models low ress like barret tifa and the others

@Maximaster
Fancy_Transparency and Semi-Transparent Dialog boxes are two different things. if you want to return your dialog boxes to normal, an easy way to do this is to replace your ff7.exe file with the original 1.02 one. You can find a link to it on the qhimm wiki.
Keep in mind, though, that this *can* cause issues, although none come to mind atm.

The midi should be muted automatically when you install the remix patch. Re-installing Aali's driver will undo this, however, and you'll have to re-mute it by deleting the "#" in the specified location in the OpenGL config file.
If you aren't hearing the music, 9 times out of 10 it's because you aren't using the shortcuts that are made by the installer. the shortcuts run ff7 along with ff7music. they both need to run simultaneously to get the music to work properly.

@whomever it was who had the issues with holy/Shield...
that sounds like an issue with kernel2.bin to me. This is the first I've heard of that happening. Try using my Wallmarket/Proud Clod patches. You can find them at the bottom of the first post.

hello titeguy,

You said in the first post :
" If you have ff7 in a language other than English, you're going to need to install one of my multi-language compatibility packs found right under the download link. Currently, Spanish, German, and French are supported, but I'm afraid that the AI/Kernel/Flevel mods are currently English only."

but i don't find the packs ..... am i blind????

 i have a non english version and  i have the same error message like this guy : https://www.ff7catalog.com/posts/91892/  but my message is in french language

then a black screen when i launch the game.
 
can you help me??

What are the requirements for this patch?

I get 15 fps when i run the game. And when it reaches the mais screen(for new game or continue) the fps is 1!
I can't even start the game!

When I installed FFVII it ran perfectly. But after this mod it's really slow.

My PC isn't THAT bad:

-Pentium 4 HT 3.00Ghz
-Radeon 9600 pro (Dx 8.1)
-2gb 400mhz RAM.

There is someone with similar specs that are running the game fine?

I can play CS:Source at 1440x900 at 30fps. But I am getting this game very very low fps even when I set the resolution to 320x240.

Edit: When I launch the game, appears a message saying that it failed to load shaders. After that in the bottom part of the game, appears a error saying that could not open ff7input.cfg

Ignore what I said.

The game actually runs fine...

BUT the initial Screen is still VERY VERY SLOW (1 fps). The video runs fine, but the "New Game/ Continue" lasts 1 minute or more to load and another minute to be able to recognize the pressing key. After that(the process to load a save, and the game itself) the speed is normal.

Find \textures\WMRP\menu\buster_00.png and delete it

There is a guy, slayersnext, who made wonderfull work, look ---->

--> its a Cloud CellShaded Model!!! looks kick**s!!

Anyway.. the current cloud and barret models are very good anyway and when are going to be new tifa and others models? its kinda sad to see cloud and barret looking awesome and tifa made of a few poligons xD

I just started up FF7 Remix v2 and It still works like a charm. I guess I was one of the lucky ones...

 

[nick_000000]

update! Posted mirrors.

In my current ff7 remix normal game I'm on the first disc about ready to get the keystone from the Saucer, but I'm stopping to get Omnislash.

I notice that the final enemy Ghirofelgo is one shotting me no matter what I do. Is this normal? He's hitting for over 4.7k damage. I noticed that he would always do just over the amount of health I had in the shinra mansion as well. My first impression was that this was hardcore but I checked to make sure it was normal. I also checked the wiki for his attacks and there's nothing mentioning a scaling damage attack that always does just over the amount of health you have.

Also he took well over the 1600 damage he's advertised to have in the manuals.

damn, thats a bug, this should fix it: http://www.filefront.com/17389048/FF7Remastered.PrC

Hi great mix of mods and improvements thanks,  :-D I have also noticed the problem with Ghirofelgo as he keeps killing me when I am in the mansion how can I apply your linked file "FF7Remastered.PrC" to ff7 as I'm a bit stuck I have the file but don't know what to do with it? ???.

Thanks for any help, also thanks for compiling this and putting it all together I'm sure it took a lot of your time it's a very good mix of mods.

I even tried downloading Amazon Kindle to open the .prc file as I though it might be an ebook after googling .prc file extension but I'm guessing that it's not that seeing as that didn't work

 

[Vgr]

PrC is Proud Clod's file format. Open your scene.bin with Proud Clod and choose File > Apply Changes Patch then select this file. Then choose Create SCENE.BIN and choose "Yes" to the popup dialog ("Yes" to the other one is it is the case).

 

[HoistedbyPetard]

So I've downloaded this package, and thus far everything works beautifully except for one thing: there's no music. The SFX seem mostly intact from what I can tell, but the battle-themes, over-world themes, et al are all gone. It's a fairly small issue, but it does make the game a terrible bit more dry.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Are you running the game in compatibility mode?

 

[nick_000000]

Just fought Jenova life and I'm doing very little physical damage like 3-10 dmg is this a bug or just me?
