Simple speedhack/slowdown for FF7 (v2)

[GP Mike]

Newbie here. I'm having similar errors as others have reported when I try to launch. I added the 7th Heaven Folder to my exclusions in Windows Defender, but that didn't do the trick.

This is the message I got on my most recent attempt, after excluding the folder:

Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software at System.Diagnostics.Porcess.StartWithCreateProcess.......at SeventhHeaven.Classes.GameLauncher.LaunchProgramsForMod (RuntimeMod mod) at SeventhHeaven.Classes.GameLuancher.LaunchGame (Boolean varDump, Boolean debug, Boolean launchWithNoMods) 

I understand the game file needs to be called FF7.exe. But in my folder I'm seeing what appear to be two separate .exe files. One is FF7.exe (dated 1998, 5700kb) and the other is ff7_en.exe (dated 2015, 6200kb). Should there be two separate files and, if not, should I remove one of these? 

Troubleshooting aside, just wanted to say thanks for giving this mod to the community. I'm excited to get it up and running.

would be possible  instead of multiplier speed to have speed based on fps? for me is too slow or too fast, can't find a proper setting

you can edit the script to change the values that are applied to the speed multiplier. It accepts decimal values so you can fine tune it to your liking once and then just toggle it on and off of that particular setting.

For example, I didnt like the options he provided either so I modified it to allow a 2x multiplier normally, but if I want to turbo through something, battles or story section after a game crash (which I am up to 73 crashes this playthrough! Hoping to get to 100 before the end lol)

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><CheatTable CheatEngineTableVersion="29">  <CheatEntries/>  <UserdefinedSymbols/>  <LuaScript>strings_add(getAutoAttachList(), "ff7.exe");  mySpeed = 2;  turboSpeed = 6;  defaultSpeed = 1; function togglesh()  speedhack_setSpeed(mySpeed);  sleep(100);end function disblesph() speedhack_setSpeed(defaultSpeed);    sleep(100);endfunction superturbo()  speedhack_setSpeed(turboSpeed);    sleep(100);end  createHotkey("superturbo",VK_F9);  createHotkey("disblesph",VK_F11);  createHotkey("togglesh",VK_F12);</LuaScript></CheatTable>

So I finally managed to get the pop-up that shows you how to use the speed hack but when I press my F11 key and press F12 or F10 nothing happens in game. Am I missing something here?

If you use ffnx driver, the speedhack isn't currently working with it

The speedhack works with the canary build of FFNx, at least for me.

 

[satsuki]

yes we done some tests with TrueOdin and he found a way to restore back the speedhack

Sadly it doesn't work anymore: if I start FF7 with speedhack enabled it crashes.

It's happening to me too. This hack is awesome, when it works, somebody can help me to figure it out why this is happening?
I turn off my Windows Defender (only protection that i have), and tryed to include 7th heaven in permissions. All other mods are working, just this one, one of the most important isn't. Can somebody help me with this please?

Thank for your work Satsuki!

mine worked fine for hte first couple times i used it now i keep getting the same anti virus error from 7th above ...   wouldn't know an easy wayh to remove it from anti virus programs which i don['t think i have any on the computer? o.o...

Edit, looks like it's "Windows Defender" program that was doing it, turned it off nad it's working fine now

First, thanks a lot satsuki for this.

I've been using cheat tables for a long time, but after seeing your code for this speedHack I wanted to try to do one myself adding a little more flexibility.

It's been a few days, but I learned a little of lua, and how to use Cheat Engine to create forms and executables, and finally created a speed hack trainer based on yours, but adds some more features:
- You can tell the program which processes to look for
- Added a trackBar to change speed directly from the window
- Added displays for current Speed, selected Speed and if the Hack is enabled/disabled
- The hotKeys remain the same (f10 for decrease speed, f11 for enable/disable, f12 for increase speed)
- It should work with almost any game, not only ff7
- 2 executables, 32b and 64b, if one doesn't work try the another one. The executable should coincide with the game targeted. (If the game is 32b, you should use the SH32b.exe)

For more info look the README.

The trainer is compressed with a password (which can be found in the readme) because it can be detected as a virus. Of course, since it uses cheat engine, windows doesn't like it, so decompress it in a folder with antivirus exclusion.
Also, to demonstrate that it isn't a virus, or if you want to modify something, I also uploaded the table script and forms.

The trainer, readme and source code is in this drive folder:

Again, thanks satsuki for showing me this, and I hope this can be useful for everyone.
