i know i edited it after i saw it again it was ACFE.aki file.

oh well im reinstalling it right now its about 89 percent done so ill just wait and try again. i might've accidentally deleted something when i was patching and modding i guess. ill try it again then post if it does it again.
 
ok well i reinstalled and dont have that file problem anymore....

now it just wont run.

when i go to the folder its saved in (on my hard drive with the standard directore C:\Program Files\Square Soft\Final Fantasy VII\)

i try clicking on the ff7.exe file, suddenly the screen goes dark as if its loading, then suddenly it just leaves and im back on my desktop   :?
i even tried my backup folder and it wouldnt run.
i tried it before modding and it worked great.
ran the avatar changer, checked, still worked fine.

but after i ran the NPC RP mod, now it does what i mentioned above.

any ideas?
 
Did ya follow the steps in NPC RP MOD step by step? Because thats where ya start seeing the problems....
 
yeah i did

made the "char" folder.

used the lgp tools to extract into the folder.

applied the patch, let it run until done

created new char.lgp (renamed the old one charbackup.lgp)

and got rid of the folder.

did i do something wrong? i tried to follow it according to the readme and somebody's post on here.
 
Hm..where did you save the new char.lgp? In the new char folder? Or in the field folder?
 
in the field folder.

of course now i've run into a new problem....again -_-. geez im having some real issues with this game lol.

i reinstalled and it seemed to work good (all i did was click new game and saw the beginning of that space scene and shut it off) ran the Phoenix Rejuv. Project patch and aalis graphic driver

and it looked great...until the first fight. i ran it twice to see if maybe it just glitched, but heres what happened:

fight started like normal, wait gauge filled i attack nothing wrong.

as soon as i take damage and the number showing how much damage shows, it goes black (music still playing) and then showed that standard MS error report thing saying: FF7 has encountered a problem and needs to close. im sure you know the window im talking about

i've looked around on here and saw somewhat similar problems, but nothing like this. could it maybe be something in my battle folder?
since it will keep running until i take any kind of damage, whether its their machine gun or that melee attack.

sorry for coming bak again and again with problems and thanx for you guys bein patient :)
 
Well, PRP doesn't affect any battle models, so there's no reason it would mess with the battle.  Sounds like one of your other files has been corrupted.  Post your app.log here.

type [ 'code']copy and paste your app.log then type['/code']   but leave out the quotation marks around code
 
are you talking about the .txt file named app? thats the only one i can find :(

i tried pasting it but it wont let me. when i try opening it its blank.

is that the one you're talking about though? (sorry im new to this stuff)

EDIT: if nothing else should i try just reinstalling...again? lol.
 
If you're correctly running Aali's driver, it shouldn't be blank.
Anyways, you may want to go ahead and reinstall
 
ok ill try that.

as for the driver. im assuming its right since the graphics did improve greatly but ok ill try reinstalling and see if it helps

(good lord im gettin tired of installing this lol this is like the 5th time :()


EDIT: yep its the PRP that messed it up :(

i ran it as soon as i installed it and did the fight. i won (leveled up woot!) and it continued onto the next screen with no crash so i exited.
then i installed the PRP and ran it and voila, it crashed as soon as i got hit by the enemy.
any ideas? should i probably just try the NPC RP again instead? or am i just kinda screwed lol.

What?..I'm using PRP and I didn't have that prob?....hmmm

1. So did ya renamed the following lgp in your FFPRP folder?

00.lgp
01.lgp

and replaced them with proper names...??

2. Are you using FFVII music?..If so start your game there..But if your using the PRP game starter icon..Your Dead...


Check this first...
 
umm.. nope was i supposed to rename them?

and what do you mean proper names?

yeah i didnt change the music at all.

soo i shouldnt go through PRP.exe? but then it doesnt use the updated stuff?

so what should i name the 00 and 01 lgp files?
 
:-D

00.lgp is  supposed to replace char.lgp

01.lgp is supposed to replace world_us.lgp


Always remember to backup the originals before replacing okay?

And The FFVII music that I'm askin about is another MOD to replace the MIDI's to MP3 of the songs of the game ( So I'll Assume you haven't installed this?... This is great stuff man try it!)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

lol ok now i feel dumb :P

hmm.. well if this works maybe ill try it out ^_^.

ill go try what you suggested and see if it works.

EDIT: gahhh!! still didnt work :(

i replaced char.lgp with the 00.lgp and the world_us.lgp with the 01.lgp

and still as soon as i get hit it crashes.

should i maybe go back to the original NPC RP version and see if it does the same thing?

Waittaminnit!!...

hmm


Did you rename the 00.lgp and 01.lgp to its respective counterparts first?....
 
yeah i did :\

i renamed the 00 to char.lgp and the 01 to world_us.lgp
 
After doin that you placed them back in their correct folders in game?...example: C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field for char.lgp? and world_us.lgp to C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\wm folder ?
 
Then use the NPC-RP first...if it works there's nothing wrong with your game. but if it has the same prob.. You have some compatibility issues. Install Aalis driver before you install NPC_RP or PRP so you can use its APP.LOG txt file and send it here in the forum...I'll try to look at it...
 
ok i reinstalled ff7, then installed (in this order)
-Aali's custom driver
-FF7 v1.02 patch
-Advent Avatars patch
worked fine up until there ^^.
then i ran the NPC RP patcher, and after i clicked new game, a message popped up saying: "Failed to load ACFE.aki"

then created the crash file.
and now i finally have something in the app.log so ill post it here
