Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Configurator and FF7 Mod Installation

« on: 2012-04-15 18:51:41 »

Yes, that's the Smartbloom HDR now included with Bootleg.  I've modified it slightly to prevent the error.
It looks much better in game than did the original Smartbloom shader.

Please post the fixed shader

Well apart from my intro fmvs I use the sharp High Res ones and I replaced only the nibelheim and funeral with http://www.mediafire.com/?rr5ajffjoovot9l by PH03N1XFURY... Well I'm more of sharp realistic images... you should watch my modded gta4 icenhancer 2.0 options... you might get epilepsy with my light settings looool

Haha. Barret in pink. That would be a site to see indeed. Especially with his dialogue, it might be kind of funny.

He is going to punish us for this but only if we laugh at it... i remember Barret was wearing a net making him look like a pimp but he had no problem with that!

You would have to do what I did, look at the files found in modpath and create place the characters on the texture, then edit window.bin values for the letter spacings (or wait until Luksy adds support for window.bin.txt 

Let me look into this so I learn how to. Thanks!

*I looked into mod path. Mine is DK. I can see pngs with characters but can't understand the procedure to create those in that particular format...

Bootleg 0038 now has a Classic Barret option.

The new Smartbloom HDR from Asmodean is now a viable post-processing option.

The HQ Barret with the original face is really nice for those who prefer original models!

The only ones in the standard charmap are µ Σ Π π ∆, you could make your own char sprites of course but it's not particularly easy.

The only thing I'm able to do is translate text files and send them and it would be fun for me and my friend. If there is any way to import Greek fonts... there are ready for example Arial Greek

If there are any text files I could deal with the Greek "fan" translation and send them to you. I have a professional translator friend to help me too. Case is I'm not sure if Greek characters are recognizable by ff7...

Important:  Do not use Re-translation option with this installer.  Wait for M005a.  If you have already used it, simply reinstall M005 again without the R002 option.

The problem has been fixed in latest ts release and will be integrated with M005a.

In the new fix will we have to uninstal m005 and install it without the R002 option or just install it on top? Thanks?

Thanks for your response Well there are some options for changing the values of the face parameters which are really detailed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfnBXkzgdTk Case is if it would be possible to create such a configurator even as a stand alone application.

Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.11b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

« on: 2012-04-14 12:00:38 »

I managed to eliminate the error by altering the SmartBloom.post file:

Original:
    gl_FragColor.rgb = color + mix(d1,1.75*normalize(vec2(d1*d1,0.82)).x,0.577*d1)*normalize(C1);

Working:
    gl_FragColor.rgb = mix(d1,1.75*normalize(vec2(d1*d1,0.82)).x,0.577*d1)*normalize(C1);

Why isn't this error appearing to me? Do i not use any option?

I was wondering if it is possible to be created an automated model designer for ff7 like in Saint's Raw the 3rd game that you can edit the values of your model without being an experienced programmer or designer. Just a thought!

I use:

enable_postprocessing = yes
post_source = shaders/SmartBloom.post
yuv_source = shaders/yuv.frag
frag_source = shaders/main.frag
vert_source = shaders/main.vert

Just to be safe.

Ok I added them in the .cfg.

Well, I know for a fact that: The internal res function, window pos, skip_frames, max_lights work, because I've tested them myself. I've yet to see any problems with using these commands either, especially the internal resolution control, as you can actually gain better performance by increasing the internal res, if you have a decent, modern gpu. To gain enough load to enable the gpu to switch to full 3d clocks (which it wasn't at 1080p) as the game is so old, and requires hardly any horse power.

I am currently running FF7 @ 8320x6240, overkill yes, but why not, if you can.

PhenomII 955@ 4Ghz
Radeon 6950 @ 900/1400

I have also updated the fragment/vertex shader files last night, looks very nice in Final Fantasy VII, including the original smart-filterBloom code, and extra lighting functionality to add more depth to scenes, works especially well on higher resolutions with the field texture packs, so the background scenes don't look like mere 2d images with 3d models standing on top of it. Enhancing the lighting/'shadows'(darker areas) of each scene. If I include any more updates to the shader's functionality, I will update it via this post.

HDRSBloomGLSL.zip

Just a question
In the opengl.cfg ? :

post_source = shaders/SmartBloom.post
enable_postprocessing = yes
use_shaders = yes

Thanks!

It is a proof that it is possible to be created a movie for each of the characters included in the video...
