@Tobak: Can you post your "ff7_opengl.cfg" ?   (don't forget to use  the # button)

Edit:  Search for mod_path. If there are two entries, delete this one:  mod_path = none

there is just one mod_path. here's the config:

@Tobak: Change "mod_path = none" to "mod_path = avalanche".

Look at your FF7 main directory.
There should be this directory structure: .\mods\avalanche\...
 
the "mods" folder contains no files/folders at all. I looked through the install log and I didn't see any entries that stated that files were written to that folder. However the folder "textures" contains the avatars and the other stuff (e.g. spells)
I think were're near a solution...


Thanks!
 
That textures folder is from Remix and is different from your mods folder, so it's probably not going to get you anywhere at the moment.  also, if your using an ATI graphics card make sure compress textures is turned off.  Shaders should also be turned off.  Also, new battle interface needs to say yes in your opengl. This line in your opengl could be giving you problems also: 
# YUV fast path shader
yuv_source = shaders/yuv.frag
... maybe get rid of that line all together and you may have some success.
Best of luck on your FFVII!
 
thanks to you two aswell! I updated to v 0.7.11b (strangly the config file says 0.7.10b - downloaded from qhimm forums) and still got nothing to work. I also re-installed the mod but still there won't be any files in the "mods"-folder. Here's the Link to the Install Log: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=481Y9TS6

and here's the updatet ff7_opengl.cfg:
# ff7_opengl-0.7.10b config file


## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 1600
window_size_y = 900
preserve_aspect = no
fullscreen = no

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = none

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = yes

# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode
# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effect
minigame_framelimiter = on

# same thing, but for the battle swirl
battleswirl_framelimiter = off

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp


## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = off

# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = no

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# expand battle viewport to cover entire screen and make the battle menu transparent
new_battle_interface = yes

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no


## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = no

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)
# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = yes

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = no

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = no

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp


## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

Any other suggestions?
 
The only time you will have files in the mods folder is if you use the GUI overhaul. The regular Team Avalanche does not use this method yet.

so you have a clue why it isn't working?
 
Hi sl1982,

Tobak sent me a PM. He uses FF7 the german version.
Maybe this is the main problem.
AFAIK all mods are only for the english version.
 
It is possible. I do not have any version other then english. Does anyone else have the german version and can you confirm if Team Avalanche works?
 
When I was using my French version the GUI overhaul made my game crash.
 
sry for my long abstinence. If I can manage to get my hands on an english / us version of the game I'll report the result. The german version looks like to be the main issue.
Nevertheless I appreciate all the support! Thanks!

Extra info, aali CD 7.11b - Menu overhaul From DLPB and Black Fan enhancement

AFTER! install the Low Res character model change, each time i enter to a battle the game just CTD

I'm not sure if it's your problem, but I notice two things you should change in that ff7_opengl.cfg file:

Don't use compressed textures.
    compress_textures = no

Post Processing might not work on all graphics cards.
    enable_postprocessing = no
 
I'be "fixed" installing again ff7 in other folder and grab all the files on Data/battle/ and paste in the main ff7

Post processing works perfect on my end

I didnt saw any diff with "On" or "Off" on the texture compresion, no glitch or slow down on loadings etc etc etc

Thanks for your time pitbrat
 
 
Copy the files from /shaders/nolight to /shaders, replacing what's there.
 
alright ill try that i have to reinstall the game. another question does it work with ff7 remix?


EDIT: ok i reinstalled the game and added the no light shaders to the shaders folder then when i tried to load the game it said failed to load shaders and it continued normally. still nothing different and now the ingame music will not play any ideas?
