Just make it so you have full control over the .exe from whatever account you're using to play ff7.

how different? screen cap?

It's not different, I was thinking of something else. Ok, so now I've done all this, and I've tried the program again and FF7 still won't start up after I modified it. I selected the weapon shop in Wallmarket, and selected a random weapon, which happened to be Ragnarok, selected 'Apply Changes' and tried to start it. No go. I'm at a loss here; I've got the Remix patch thing on it, does the program not work with a mod?
 
Hmm.. does it give you an error, or just refuse to load? Also, are you running it directly from the exe? or something like FF7Music? Also also, make sure it save the changes you made when you said to allow, and make sure it was the right account you told it to allow.
 
WAIT!!!! I got it! After I modified the ff7.exe with the white choco shotp editor, I THEN applied the security changes to the .exe and ff7 booted up. Lets see if I can buy the sword now.

**EDIT**

Boom, it worked! Man, that was an ordeal! Thanks for your help and patients Damyn.

NOTE: You have to set the permissions EVERY TIME after you use the Choco Shop Editor and modify the ff7.exe.

Not a problem at all. Just remember what I have taught you here, and you should be ok from now on. At least with this app. Also, keep in mind there seems to be some issues with materia shop editing. So idk if it was just bad luck on my part, or if its an app bug, but if materia doesn't work for you, that might be why.
 
Yeah, I just got some weird stuff trying the materia editing. Typhon was the only one that had a normal name and I didn't even put it on the list, lol. Oh well, 2 gil for a cool summon isn't bad. Now, if I can just figure out why the 9999 limit breaking patch won't work for me, I'll be a happy camper.
 
Well, are you just using that, or are you using the YAMP? Cause I've had troubles with the YAMP when I tried to install the 9999 patch. The ff7.exe was still running for some reason, make sure the ff7.exe isn't running in the processes tab of your task manager.
 
I tried it both ways, and neither worked. I'm going to toy around with it some more tomorrow.
 
Great. Does this mean I'll won't have to link people to that old thread and give them hex editing tutorials any more? ;D
 
Here's the image of what my shop now looks like after trying to edit Full-Cure (which isn't really Full Cure, its now a custom materia) into the shop at costa del sol. Currently I haven't checked any other shops yet, but I'll get to that if needed.

I don't think you have enough gil. Have you considered an installment plan? ;)

If you modified an already existing materia then it should retain its selling price. If you made a NEW materia I'd expect that to happen. Maybe titeguy needs to allow for the editing of prices Kudistos found all those eons ago.
 
I've noticed that weapons, items, equipment and materia that you can't normally buy in the game cost 2 gill, usually.
 
Okay, fixed the materia issue you guys have been having. Everything should work fine.

And yeah, items you can't usually buy are set to 2 gil or so...I'm looking for where to change that in the executable, if I find it, I'll add that in.
 
is there a post to the new download? Or did you repost it in your first post? (too many posts)

The main link in the first post will take you to the new file.

After I'm done figuring it all out, anyway. So are the prices starting at x523858 in the same order as the item indeces? like...items-->weapons-->armor-->accessories? And if so, where does the materia fit in? at the end?

Well, that's good to hear. Now all we need is price editing, and if we can, getting rid of needing to change security properties :D

Indeed.

If anybody's got any pointers on how to fix/avoid this, I'm all ears.

The only thing I can think of is scrapping the auto-backup feature. Do you guys think it'd be worth it?
 
Well, I already manually backup my .exe before doing anything anyway. Just in case the auto-backup fails...>>

Can't say the same for everyone else though.
 
Okay, I found a way around it (it's almost sad how easy it is to get around windows' built in security features...)

Click the link in the main thread to get v0.4b!
