Please review the rules.
Please try to use good spelling and grammer. Don't run round the house looking for that old, dusty dictionary you've never used if there's a word too difficult to spell, just try and spell as well as you can. It wouldn't hurt to read over your post before you hit submit now would it?

Hi
Just select FF7.exe under Select Process in the 1st menu
Then what you do is search for the values you are looking for with the search function (remember you need to convert Hex values into decimel equivelent).
Once you have tracked down some possible values, look under the results viewer and add the addresses (so they appear in the main window), now you can set a value to each address and "force" it so it is locked.
 
Sorry, but i have no idea what to do when i opened the ff7 process.
btw, when i shut down ff7, i get an error message "onrecognised value" or sth like that
and when i open the process with mem hack, i think it does nothing.
 
Early BETA (ALFA? :P).

Just don't send a bomb to my house if it formats your HDD.

A program which will apply the "Transparent Dialog Boxes" patch to your FF7 version. See "info.txt" (included in the package) for instructions. I didn't want to release the patcher that early (it was meant to be used with "Removing the 9999 cap" patch), but I just can't watch those people asking for help, and not really getting it (with all respect to those who tried to help).

Calling this a BETA is a big misunderstanding.

Try:

"Don't call me stupid, okay?  Just because I use shorthand --because it's quicker than fully writing things out-- does not make me stupid."

There.  See, the problem is that you SEEM to be "stupid", "when u talk like this with shorthand and no punctuation so it seems like ur talking like a 5 y/o on speed and maybe crack i dunno and its all in 1 breath lol".

See the problem?  You wanna play with the big kids, you play by big kid rules.  And my main point was, if you don't even know propor grammar, then hex editing is probably a bit beyond your capapbilities.  Hell, I can't wrap my head around hex editing either, so, I fear about how confused somone like you would get if others tried explaining it.  that's all.  I suppose I shouldn't discourage you from trying, though.

Just... try to learn how to use commas before you break the forum's collective sanity.  Please?
 
It woooooooorks!!!!

I guess, with the new patch you won't need this anymore, but the memory editing data is only supposed to be used "on the fly", when the program is running, e.g. with a Debugger.
You only would have to use the lines under "When editing file" for patching the EXE.
oh, and does anyone of you know how to make the game render the full battle screen?

TheSaint already explained this above!
For now the answer is no.

(By the way, your Avatar only shows a hosting message of Angelfire. You should upload your picture to some other place)
 
Well, it says "image hsoted by angelfire", so... yeah.  Only you can see it, it seems =P

Get a beter image host, like imageshack or photobucket (well, my PB bandwidth is exceded, hense my silly non-avatar, but it'll be back on the 1st =P)
 
when i try to se the patch...and i start my game...all is black...

If the file is named "ff7.exe" (of course you renamed "patched_ff7.exe" to "ff7.exe", right?) pack it and send it to me via email (or upload somewhere).

This is getting ridiculous.  Warning issued for avatar.
It's in the rules (where a 60x60 limit is stated), we generally allow this to be stretched a little (100x100), but that's it.
 
@Thau:
Next time you have a problem, please tell me that you're using a german version of FF7 (anybody wants a "Skerb" patch which forces german ff7.exe to use english files? :P).

The game runs fine, the dialogs are transparent, and because I memorized the menu (how cool is that?) i knew how to quit the game :roll: (Poland is next to Deutschland, but I can't speak your language).

What I think you need is: Upside-down patch (direct link).

dziugo
 
my games doesnt start....and how can i make now the boxes transparent? Why do i need the Upside-down patch? When i try to install it it closes it after the disclamer.... And i try to update my game exe to 1.02 but when i do it crashes when a battle starts.....
 
when i try to se the patch...and i start my game...all is black...

So, which one?

Uhh... If you think, that it's better to have 1.00 (which doesn't start) than a 1.02 patch (which crashes when entering battles), then I can't help you.

Make a new topic (here, in game tweaking), describe your problem and post your system specs. I'll try to help you...

BTW: if you want to see the transparent dialog boxes, use a 1.02 patch. It is possible to see those boxes without entering any battles.

dziugo
 
lol....ok..the 1.02 exe crashed...and now it workes suddenly....but how can i make transparent boxes? With 1.02 i have only the normal boxes....
[EDIT]
The patch works with the 1.02 version..and now i have transparent boxes    yeah^^
 
I've got one more question: Is there a way to completely remove the dialog boxes? I mean that there's just the text, but no box brhind this. Is that possible?
