2. Extract files from archive
3. Locate menu_us.lgp and extract them using your favorite LGP program into a folder
4. Copy the two .tex files from the downloaded file into the folder you extracted menu_us.lgp into
5. If it asks to overwrite select yes
6. Create a new menu_us.lgp file from this folder
7. Copy the new file back into the original location.
8. Copy all files in textures into the textures folder in your FF7 folder (if you dont have this folder you either dont have Aali's custom driver, or an old version of it)
9. Play the game  :-D

Enjoy everyone!

Yeah pretty much. Thats what all the goofy lines were. Im going to experiment with the shadows again though. I think i have a way to make it work
 
Did you give it a shot obesebear? If so how do you like it?

Actually I'm too busy posting and working on other projects to even play the game  :-P
I do need to play some... Once you get the shadows working, I'll load up all my mods and probably play until I get to Don Corneo's at least
Half done the field text. Hopefully have it up sometime today.

Nice :wink:
 
I see this has the included Font Texture.  Surely then, it is not too difficult to replace a character by editing this texture?

I need a small O with a macron (Japanese use, romaji).   Any chance this can be done?
 
Yeah no problem to do that. There is one thing you have to remember though. Say i replace the letter e with the character ~.
When you are translating the game you have to remember that every time you want to use the ~ you have to type e instead (in whatever program you are using to translate)

Yeah I figured that and already made an O with accent the one that will be the macron inside loveless :)

How does everyone like the materia? I made it look like the white materia in the fmv
 
Honestly, I'm not a fan.   Here's this though...

Now as summon materia..

Not sure if you can do anything with that

i'm not really liking the materia, however, it is definitely an improvement over the original. 
Maybe something similar to what obesebear posted, but less transparent?
The font itself looks great though, and i can't wait to see your next release!

Looks like you broke the numbers with that one haha. But, it's a ton better then the white blocks XD

I like you're Obesebear, But do you have the rest for the other materia?
 
They look pretty damn white when put in the game. And if i add a tint to them they dont look much different then the ones i made

edit: v0.2 is ready, just have to upload it.
 
Awesome!  Also, I don't know much about program creation, but is it possible to make an installer that unpacks, modifies, and repacks the archives to save us trouble?
 
Ok that looks sweet! Let me give that a go. Oh btw v0.2 is up. If you find any bugs let me know
 
I was about to point out field text when you updated it. Awesome job!

for updating to i just drag the new PNG's? Or do i redo the whole thing?

Obesebear that is PERFECT!
