So I went through the install process. I picked the mods I wanted. Then tried to launch the game. At this point, the game loads with no mods. When I closed and reopened 7th heaven. I received a message that said Aali modpath C:\steam\steamapps\common\final fantasy VII\mods\Textures not found
Extra folder C:\steam\steamapps\common\final fantasy VII\music not found the settings window will now be displayed so you can fix them.

Did you not run the GC before the OP? The ...\Textures and ...\music folder are added by the GC.
 
I ran the GC first before I ever opened 7th heaven. should I uninstall, and try again
 
I have the same problem. Before installation I wiped FF7 then reinstalled outside of program files, then followed the 7H installation instructions, including installing GC.
No mods activate when I play the game...
Also no music plays. I can get music to play by copying the .ogg files from ...\FINAL FANTASY VII\music\vgmstream  to  ...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\music_ogg but obviously if the mods were working properly the music would play from vgmstream

OK, I tried installing Aali's driver, then mounting my actual FF7 Disk 1 '98 version to the E drive, then setting the .exe path to play the ff7.exe - the PC version (instead of ff7_en.exe - the Steam version), and the mods worked , however their was no change to the sound; it was the same crappy default midi .

The mods still won't work with the Steam version, I'll try uninstalling again and this time run the registry cleaner in the faq section I'll also try uninstalling the '98 version.

This means you're not using Aali v0.8.1b, which is installed with the GC. The music\vgmstream\ folder is where Aali's v0.8.1b's music plugin pulls from. Conversely, it could be that your Workshop -> OpenGL -> Audio -> Music Plugin is not set to VGMStream.
 
Huh, interesting. I definitely had the music plugin set to vgmstream.

Before I manually installed Aali's driver (which was after installing gc), I had tried to run the '98 version, and the same that always happens happened; the game loaded to the opening menu, then went to a black screen after selecting New Game. After I manually installed Aali's driver, the game loaded correctly, with all the mods, but with the crappy audio. This means that gc hadn't installed correctly.

The first time I ran the gc, my antivirus popped up with a suspicious cloud threat, I wasn't sure if this was GC or not, however the command window displayed that the patch had installed correctly, so I didn't think anything of it. When I tried running GC again using the overwrite command, the same suspicious cloud threat appeared, so I think it's safe to conclude that my antivirus is the cause of the GC not installing properly. When I get home from work I'll do what I said I was going to yesterday, which is to completely uninstall every trace of FF7 from my comp, including the 98 version and then start over. I'll deactivate my antivirus when using the CG this time, unless you think running as admin would work?

Also, is this the correct up-to-date catalogue?
 
OK, I completely uninstalled FF7 Steam and PC, then I manually deleted any folder remains. I then ran the reg fixer provided in the FAQ section, as well as CC. My computer is completely FF7 free (bar the 7H iro folder, which I kept). Then I installed the Steam version to C:\Steam Library, but not the '98 version

I disabled my antivirus (the threat was one of dlpb's .dll files which I've restored), then I ran the GC as administrator, making sure to select a sound source in the ff7 config. I received an error message after imstallation that the software ahdn't installed correctly, and gave me the option to run under recommended settings, which I followed (the same error occured after the initial installation too, I'd just forgotten about it).
Afterwards, I followed the exact steps for 7H setup as I did the first time round for the same result. No mods have loaded, and no sound. VGMStream selected. I haven't installed the '98 version yet, but I suspect the same result as yesterday; working mods with the crappy audio. I'll report back
 
As expected, FF7 '98 wroked fine with all the mods, although i did need to reinstall the patch, and the game won't play in full screen. I've enabled postprocess. I can get it full screen again by configuring the ff7config from GC, but then the mods won't load properly; some won't work at all and Cloud is completely white, and there are green lines. The only way I can get the game to run properly again is by reinstalling the patch, but then it's not in full screen.

After all that, I decided to try the Steam version again. The same; no mods, no sound.  :(
 
I have everything working fine for the '98 version now, but still no joy with the Steam version
