found scene. bin. there are four of them located here
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-de\battle
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-en\battle
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-es\battle
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-fr\battle

maybe hardcore mod will work fully if i move the scene to the folder path it was in the old ff7 then move it back?
 
Worth a shot.  Keep an eye on the folders though.. see if you actually CAN move it, or if it just fixes itself.  Help get a handle on just how much file monitoring this thing can do when it's not even running.

ETA: Not sure what all files hardcore mod messes with, but you might wanna do a quick search on "lang-en" (or whichever applies) and note what files you discover in them.  I'm guessing they probably did that for just about everything that has text, which is quite a few of the core files.

gj0rulv hardcore patcher wont move or delete the files just edit them. problem is the scene.bin is in a different folder then it was.  so when it looks it doesnt find it. ill have ff7 closed so it wont bother the process. im sure itll run. real question is will the hardcore mod be put into full effect if any
 
Right, I didn't mean hardcore would move them.. but the game might.  Either right while you're looking at it (Windows itself does this, say if you try to simply delete or replace notepad for example), or more likely, the very next time you launch the game, it will decide it doesn't like the new file and replace it.

If neither, and it works, fantastic.  Just pointing out things to watch for that I've seen in other software.
 
im gonna say hardcore mod works because enemies did get noticeably harder after i moved some files but the patcher itself will need work to work around the rerelease.

scene.bin can be found in these folders based by language
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-fr\battle
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-en\battle
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-es\battle
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-de\battle
for it to work with the patcher move it to
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\battle

kernel.bin and kernel2.bin can be found in these folders
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-de\kernel
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-en\kernel
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-es\kernel
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-fr\kernel
for it to work with the patcher move it to
...\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\kernel

run the patcher then move scene.bin kernel.bin and kernel.bin back to original folders and its done
 
So hardcore needs to update the path if it is to work with  new pc, basically :)
 
yup my first real contribution :') tears of joy

edit
since the patcher can edit the kernel and scene does that mean we can count wallmarket and proudclod as a success as well and maybe hojo?

Any edit mods?
the once where you edit your characters lvl,items, weapons?
I dont think this is possible with the stupid cloud saves...
 
that would be black chocobo. black chocobo can still edit saves but the game wont allow you to use them
 
I wonder if it would be possible to do something like making the file read only, attempt to make a save in the game. Then replace the file with our modified version so that it gets uploaded the the cloud.
 
I know you can't use any mods that rely on Aali's driver but what about the .lgp mods like some of the battle backgrounds?
 
No graphical mods? Or aali's driver? Or your sweet menu overhaul?

Well, looks like i'll still with my oldie :P

Eh, given time, and some work, I'm sure a lot of the big mods can be modified to work with this new release.

The answer to that is no.  Without aalis driver (or similar) it is 100% impossible.  It just isn't going to happen I am afraid.  The ones I marked in red are likely never to be supported.
 
I don't mean to sound funny, but unless you've already spoken to Aali about this you really shouldn't speak on his behalf with such certainty. It's really not good for morale.

I am not here to make you feel better.  In any case, the Menu Project will not be supported ever.  That is certain.  I know, because I made it.  It might not be what you want to hear but that's your own fault for buying New PC money spinner instead of obtaining the old PC which, with the new mods, is vastly superior anyway.

Enix is having a jolly old time right about now. They've fooled you again.  8)

Also, I said "likely never"  I did not use the word certain.  In terms of using the "New" PC, it is unlikely aali will update his driver to it and if he doesn't then it is 100% impossible for the mods I marked red to work.  This is because they require it 100%.

There is 1 way around this, and that is to use the old ff7.exe file with the files that came with new PC.   That would work if you also had the registry settings from old PC and Aali's driver (probably).  I am not sure how legal this is.

So, I installed the Unified Model Installer, and apparently it installed no issue, using your custom mix, but nothing actually shows up in-game. Is this an issue with the installer, or does it also require aali's driver?

No the UMI does not require Aalis driver and was confirmed working (see first post).  I have no idea why things would not show up and I cannot test the new game.
 
Yeah, that's why I grabbed it, because the first post said it worked. But yeah, I'm not getting anything. Not FFX save points, not PRP models in world or battle, nothing :(
 
There's something happening which stops it.  But the other guy got it working so it can't be impossible.  Someone will have to go into this and let me know what is going wrong.
