STICKY: 2D Overhaul & WMRP *OFFICIAL PROBLEM THREAD*

[Soul]

Okay then. Can you tell me how to uninstall the overhaul? So that I will not see the glitch anymore. Thanks for the help anyways.

 

[gyrobasel]

i am a little confused now.......can someone tell me what needs to be in the mods folder cuz mine is empty......or is it supposed to be that way??

Copy the original lgp's off the discs to the proper locations.

 

[Soul]

Oh, Then I'll change the mod_path=avalanche to mod_path=none?

Edit: Is there a way to change the limit color and the limit break effects while not altering the magic spells and summons? Like you can manually edit the magic.lgp file instead of the installer editing the whole thing.

 

[sl1982]

Install the mod to a different folder then the ff7 one. Then find the files you wish to change and put them into the lgp files. The modify the texture files. Put the modified lgp into your ff7 folder and put the textures in the respective spots in the textures folder.

 

[pyrozen]

an alternate method can also be used with the aging TA patch installer if you're having troubles.

Open the exe with WinZip or other similar program and manually take the PNGs out. You can then place them into your modpath folder and use them without modifying the original LGPs. Its up to you to figure out which folder they go into, but it's not too hard to figure it out. This works for both the text, menu, and world map. Spell effects probably work as well but i didn't sufficiently test to give you a sure answer.

of course don't do this until your playing on a fresh install again, otherwise all sorts of wackiness could ensue. Another plus to this method is it is very easy to deactivate certain parts of the graphical overhaul by simply renaming folders within modpath.

@sl1982
Hmm. So your saying that I should install the spell patch first? Then manually take out the files that I want to put on the original magic.lgp, then put the desired png files in the texture folder?

@pyrozen
How can I open the exe with WinZip? And what exe are you talking about excatly? Sorry if I'm dumb or stupid, if your referring to the installer exe, I have 2 installers, The Avalanche GUI v2.0.5 and the Avalanche Low Res.

 

[sl1982]

The only problem with the modpath option is some of the names of the texture files have been modified from the original names. This should only apply to the menu textures though. Oh and the mgaic.lgp has a very odd directory structure that has to be dealt with as well.

 

[Soul]

I'll just ask you this then, is the animations for limit breaks located inside the magic.lgp?

 

[sl1982]

Yes. Located in various places.

 

[Soul]

Can you tell me what file should I change if I want to change the effects for limit breaks? Just like what the avalanche installer is doing. Coz I only wanted to change the limit break effects but not the spells and summons. Oh, and if you also know what file should I change if I want to change the limit break aura, kindly tell me. Big Thanks.  ;D

 

[DLPB_]

For people to go running about for you is very frustrating.  Do some research yourself and you will find it.  Stop being bone idle.

 

[Soul]

Right. Okay. 

 

[Hewell]

Could somebody update Team Avalanche Releases Beta 9 (High Res) with all models, arms, scenes, enemyes, etc

In the page are too may post and anyone, (and me), won't know what donwload and what is obsolet, I think than is a good idea, don't you?

 

[Timu Sumisu]

all the content of the bombing mission (which is all we have from what you requested) is not currently released. All you need is the beta 9 installer, and the gui 2.0

 

[Hewell]

Ok guy, thanks

I've done a clean install,got Aali's driver,Then the Low res, followed by the Gui.
The characters almost  show up fine but they are  missing eyes and mouths

Ive tried it with and without compression and post processing with the same result.
see anything wrong here?
Did several reinstalls, Aali's, Gui and overhaul. then  updated my drivers and tweaked it the way it was supposed to be.
I need a new Graphics card I guess. Apparently ff7 doesn't like radeon 9800SE. I'm seeing no textures,or colors  .. field characters show up but not backgrounds and field are all black and white lines with squares
During encounters in the bombing mission  everything is like this with the exception of barret's weapon and the enemies  :-(  I give up

Hi, just decided play FF7 again and discovered all these mods for it.

After following all the instructions and having to reinstall everything 3 times plus, I decided to come find some help.

I started with a clean install of FF7, maximum and legal copy. Then got the 1.02 patch. Then got Aali's current Custom Drivers.

I checked it loaded and worked, then went and got the FF7 Music Patch, tested it again and it worked.

Then got the Phoenix Rejuvenation Project installed, checked it and no problems found.

Then installed the Hi Res Graphical Overhaul, since I was using 1440 x 900 resolution.

After making sure every .exe was run in WinXP SP2 as Admin and rechecking it.

I get the EIDOS Interactive movie then it crashes straight after it finishes. Whether I skip it or not. I don't know what else to do.

I just faced the same problem, so I repleace the drivers to the 0.7.9b version aswell and the game finally ran but was somewhat "UGLY".

Next I replaced the driver once again to version 0.7.10 version and the game ran smoothly but once again it was somewhat "UGLY". I was somewhat unser of what happened and why it was displaying the graphics not clear enough until i opened the ff7_opengl.cfg and saw it was replaced and had no resolution configured.
Once I change the 0s to the 1440x900 the game ran with really nice graphics!

REALLY NICE WORK FROM AVALANCHE!
