It's a large undertaking, there's bound to be a few bugs, but the translation's already so much easier to understand. You've taking bug reports, responsive to community feedback, and taken adjustments as needed while still adhering to your overall vision.

I think it's gonna be fine.

Welp, I fail. Sorry! I'll heed the top post and sit here patiently waiting for r06.

Possible bug:

I'm at Cosmo Canyon for the first time, and after going up into the laboratory with Bugenhagen, he does his spiel. Right after he sucks the Lifestream from the Planet, it turns dark and falls into pieces. There's a split second where the camera pans outward to show the original wide view of Cloud, Bugenhagen, and your two other characters, and then the screen goes black. The music continues to play in the background, but I have no video. Uninstalling The Reunion fixed the problem.

Details:
Arch Linux with Wine (FF7 installed to it's own 32 bit prefix)
Aali's OpenGL
The Reunion R05c
No other mods installed

Also, an aside: Right before this, Nanaki says to bring one other person, but technically, you can bring two, since you have to fill your roster, right? This seems to be the case both in the original translation and the one here in The Reunion.

Apologies if this was posted previously, but 191 pages is, well, a lot. Thanks for all you do, and I'm loving going back through FF7.

FF7 Tools / Re: [FF7PC-98] Installer Remake - Tom's Installer [Works on Windows 10!] (1.4.2)

« on: 2015-12-16 02:01:16 »

With the current version, I can't seem to install to any non-default directory.

It will install under Program Files (x86) just fine, but not to, say, C:\FF7\

Just an FYI

Regarding the FF7+ shortcut.

I wonder if anyone here http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8936.0 would be willing to share their icons?  It's a little offputting to have the system generic exe icon on my desktop due to Reunion, not that I couldn't change it myself, but I imagine it'd be an easy thing to include?

Thanks a bunch, I'm slowly playing my way through FF7 ... again... for the sake of these better translations (and to maybe find some issues/typos).

Yeah, I've downloaded.  Thanks!

@above (Me I think)

Reunion isn't causing that crash.  You are probably not using clean files.  See first post / readme.

You were absolutely right DLPB, I didn't think I had any mods currently installed, but I did indeed have the Team Avalanche Menu Overhaul mod installed, so after a reinstallation, I'm running Reunion R02B properly.  Thank you for that little tidbit and all that you and your team have done thus far!

I think I may have seen a typo in the Materia Tutorial where Barret asks how Materia works, at the very beginning of the tutorial I think I saw an "in"  where it should have been "is"...

Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8 [v0.8.1b]

« on: 2015-02-22 17:10:52 »

You shouldn't have to run FF7 as admin.

My prior problem is fixed, and I don't know how exactly.

I was having another problem for the last 2 days: I couldn't go into standby, which was really bizarre.  The monitor would go black, turn off, then turn back on again, and the Event Viewer reported no Suspend or Wake events for the last 2 days.  Those two days ago, I installed two things: a wireless HP printer, and a driver for a new cellphone (LG Optimus F6).  I decided to do a System Restore to go back to before 2 days ago, and now both my standby/suspend function works again and so does Aali's FF7 OpenGL driver without needing to run it as admin.

I'm pretty sure it was the LG driver as I uninstalled the printer without any success.  I have no idea why this driver would cause these various, seemingly unrelated problems, but I suppose I can't argue with the results.

For paul above me, I recommend following the instructions here: http://game-compatibility.wikia.com/wiki/Install_FF7_on_Windows, but only in regards to "Step 4: Changing FF7 Security Settings", so you can change the permissions of all subfiles and subdirectories so Aali's driver can work.

Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8 [v0.8.1b]

« on: 2015-02-21 22:38:11 »

Hey all,

I've tried my best to figure this out, and I'm out of ideas.

I can't run Aali's OpenGL driver without having disabled UAC first for FF7.  I know you may be thinking that I didn't change the permissions on the folder, but I have, and have allowed full control to all subfiles and directories.  I'm only installing FF7 to it's own folder on the root of my drive (D:\FF7).

BTW, I am running Win7 64 bit.

Here are the steps I've taken:
1) Install FF7 (1998 version) as a maximum install to D:\FF7
2) Download ff7_opengl-0.8.1b.zip and ff7102zx.zip, pulling up the properties for each of these files and choosing to "Unblock" them.
3) Changing the security settings for the FF7 folder to Full Control for Users by changing the advanced settings for the folder and applying the permissions to all subfiles and subfolders.
4) Extract first the 1.02 update and overwriting the old executables, then Aali's OpenGl drivers.
5) Running FF7Config.exe first and setting my sounds settings.  I notice here that Direct3D is NOT a graphics option when UAC is on, which is weird to me.  I know Aali's driver ignores this, but the fact it isn't there tells me something isn't right.
6) Running the registry edit.
7) Change my window settings to: 1024x768, fullscreen = no, inside ff7_opengl.cfg, so I can tell easily if it's working right or not.
7) Run the game.

When I follow these steps in this order, with UAC still on, I still get a full screen where the video won't play.  When I turn off UAC and reboot, then try running the game, the FF7Config.exe will run in it's place, allowing me to change settings for the first time (or so it would seem), and then successfully run the game with the settings I've set in Aali's config file.

As I said, I'm out of ideas.  I was able to run this game, but I wanted to try Reunion and had to do a clean install since I had already installed Team Avalanche's Menu Overhaul.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Ninja edit: Running ff7.exe as administrator works correctly with Aali's driver, but running it normally does not.  Just found this out.

Bug report (didn't find it in the Google Sheets Bugtracker).

I apologize for not knowing which aspect of Reunion this applies to, but I played from the start all the way to the first boss.  I tried casting magic on it, but I crash right out of the game after selecting magic.  I did this twice in a row to make sure it wasn't a one time fluke.

I'm running the 1998 version with the most recent Aali OpenGL driver.

This project looks amazing and I thank the great authors who have dedicated their time and efforts.

Edit: I did this with default settings during the Reunion installation.
