Amazing work, mav! Love it!

Is there any chance of being able to boost EX/AP by more than 4x and being able to speed up the game more than 4x as well? Thanks.

regards if using ffnx driver can do control+up/right arrow =speedboost  (cant remember if up or right arrow)  control+down/left arrow slower  either up/down or r/l toggles cant remember which off top of head.    if you disable battle swirl makes battles a lot faster so would be higher than 4x. there appears to be a cap on speedboost  'hardcoded' possibily which if speed 5+ could prevent going on ladders/vechiles.


you can compile source yourself and make changes to the source to raise exp by more than 4x. alternatively can use 7th heaven  gameplaytweaks qhimm. enable mod configure > stats  > exp boost mutliplay exp gained.   (that would multiply by whatever you select then again by whatever set to within ff7-ultima eg 10x boost in gameplaytweaks qhimm alongside 4x would then give 40x boost.

Thank you for this reply. Stacking the 4x speed boost in FF7 Ultima with the speed boost in the FFNx driver does work. Thanks.

Also, I get forking the code, modding it myself, and compiling it, but what do you mean by the second part, the following part? I can't understand that part. Thanks.

Edit: I just found the Gameplay Tweaks - Qhimm Catalog mod in 7th Heaven. Is there a way to assign some of those stat boosts to hotkeys so that I can easily toggle them on and off while in-game? Thanks.

Speed is tricky because the way I’m doing it is by bumping the FPS limiter the game uses, which means it is capped by your monitor refresh rate. So while I could offer a 5x or more options if your refresh rate is lower than 150 Hz you would not see any difference.

As for custom Exp/AP boosts that should be possible, I’ll add that to my todo list.

Thanks again, mav... and sorry for adding to your to-do list. As wdx noted, I can stack the speed boosts in FF7 Ultima with those in 7th Heaven to get the desired speed, but the EXP and AP boosts up to, for example, 10x would be awesome. It would be great if we could also boost Gil and items gotten from battles by the same amount to better simulate fighting "lots of real" battles.

One other idea, mav (if it wasn't already on your to-do list): The ability to edit your battle points at the Battle Arena in the Gold Saucer.
 
Sorry, but another idea: Is there a way to easily toggle a 100% steal rate? That would be nice.

You can already do this the “hard” way using the Variable Editor from the general tab. Turn on 16-bit mode and your battle points are in the field 112 of Bank 1.

I have it on my todo to expose some often used savemap values in a more user friendly manner, this is just a workaround.

As for 100% rate it is a cool idea, I’ll add it to the list.
 
Although I’m not sure how exactly that would work since some enemies have multiple items to steal but you only can steal, I’ll think about it.

Maybe always steal the most rare item?
 
FFIX had a much more robust stealing mechanic, and in the Memoria Mod, when you turn on 100% steal, it always steals the rarest item first, then the second rarest item, etc. until there are no more items.

Apologies, as I have no clue how easy or hard that would be FFVII, but that's how they handled the mechanic in the Memoria Mod.
 
This program really is amazing, mav. Thank you so much. Loving it!

I think the last two requests I have for it are being able to boost the Gil received from battles in the same way you can boost EXP and AP, and being able to adjust the battle points your party has on the fly in the Gold Saucer.
 
Version 1.4.7 dropped!

There were many changes since the last release announcement here, I'll only list the most important ones

* Battle Log - shows a log of all actions that happened during the current battle

* Settings window, allowing you to configure keyboard shortcuts and other app settings
* Edit max HP/MP of allies and enemies during battles
* "Skip Dialogues" - disables all blocking message windows on all fields (except choices and the ones that do not block eg. timers)
* View and set collision, interaction and visibility flags for field models
* "Speed hack enhancenements" setting that disables the temperature dropping in Great Glacier and disables wind triggering battles in Whirlwind Maze when speed hack is on
* "Manual Slots" battle option that stops all slot reels (Tifa's and Cait's limits, and battle arena) and lets you choose slots with arrow keys
* "Walk Anywhere" toggle that lets you walk, drive and land on all terrain types on the world map

Plus tons of fixes and smaller changes.
 
This has been an amazing program, mav. I've been using it for a while now, and loving it. I really like the manual slots addition; it makes the Battle Arena actually fun and not just annoying.

I'm still holding out for a Gil multiplier from battles, similar to the EXP/AP ones you've already added, but other than that, this thing is just about perfect.

Something else that might be handy is the ability to use a keyboard shortcut to skip dialogue (I wouldn't mind toggling the skip feature on for things like the Kalm flashback, but then turning the skip feature off for most of the game). Basically, having more options that could be assigned to keyboard shortcuts (they could all be unassigned by default; doesn't matter to me) would be cool. Maybe the ability to toggle the manual slots from a keyboard shortcut would be nice as well.

And actually, maybe one last feature (since it's literally the only thing I still use Black Chocobo for): The ability to add Aerith back to your party/PHS after she dies at the end of disc 1. Sometimes, I'll use Black Chocobo to add her back to the PHS menu after she dies so that I can continue to play as her on discs 2-3.

Really though, again, amazing, amazing job! I'm just getting greedy at this point. FF7 Ultima is already great!

Just released a new update containing the Gil multiplier option, as well as new keyboard shortcuts for Skip Dialogues, Walk Anywhere, Invincibility and Manual Slots toggles :).

This is already possible, in the General tab click the PHS row and tick the "Show" and untick "Lock" checkboxes for Aeris and she will be available again in the PHS.

Edit: I've pushed another release that allows you to edit Love Points and Battle Points, and added a option to map viewer to follow you around when running around in game.

If you think it is a good idea and you have the time, can you add love points viewer and editor? I have the values in a table, shouldnt be too complicated.

You are awesome. Just tested it. Thank you.
These would be other features that I would find useful. Again, always up to you, boss:

GENERAL > GENERAL
[Love Points]
—Leave visible the four characters' values so you don't have to click on "Love Points" to open the "drop menu" that shows them. It would help, for example, for streaming purposes.
     Aerith  50
     Tifa     30
     Yuffie  10
     Barret 0


GENERAL > PARTY
[Add Items]
—"Add 99 units of each" button/feature. So you don't have to manually select one by one. Just like you can do with Black Chocobo save editor.
[Add Materia]
—"Add 1 MASTER unit of each" button/feature. So you don't have to manually select one by one. Just like you can do with Black Chocobo save editor.


Generic Hacks & Tweaks
[Unfocus patch]
—"Pause process" button to Pause the process at any time you need, like it currently does when you tab out while playing it through official launcher on PC.
I know your software already has "Unfocus patch", but that only makes the game to not pause when unfocus, just like 7H does and that's the reason why I mention it. It would be a good way to give players the option to Pause at any time just by clicking. Being able to bind it to any key or controller button would be an awesome addition.
[Random battles]
—"Half enccounters" option. It would be a way to not get overleveled while making exploring and game pace better.


BATTLE
—"Target tag" button to toggle the on-screen Target tag icon during battles. Like it would do by pressing "Camera" key while playing the game through official launcher. This feature gets disabled by 7H if you enable Analogue Controls since "Camera" key is used to zoom-in and that's the reason why I mention it. It would be a good way to bring it back for those who find it handy. Being able to bind it to any key or controller button would be an awesome addition.
—"Full party Heal" and "Toggle Limit Bars" buttons that are already included in General > Party, I miss to have them while managing my battle in Battle tab. I feel bad by mentioning it. I don't wanna feel like I'm telling you how to organize YOUR tool.
BATTLE > Enemies > Status
—"Manipulate" option to manipulate the selected enemy with maybe the current character's turn?


And suppose that I can't think of anything else for now.

These two options are also exposed as keyboard shortcuts so you can use these for easy access until I find a better way of structuring UI to make them more accessible.
 
Hey, mav. One minor thing maybe worth looking into: I've been playing the game for the first time almost exclusively with all the dialogue boxes turned off, but the game glitched on me at the part in Icicle Inn where Elena tries to punch Cloud.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but because the dialogue boxes were off, after Elena missed the punch and started rolling, one of the soldiers got stuck on the guy at the bottom of the hill, and the other got stuck on Cloud. There wasn't anything I could do.

I don't know if this is something that happens ALL the time, but it happened to me twice. The solution was to just temporarily turn dialogue boxes back on, but just wanted to let you know, all the same.

Also, just wanted to say again that this tool rocks. Lovin' it!
