Thrashamatrix's right it's not better it's just more complete that's all.  But thanks for your suport.  And vincent1997 ... well look at the read me and if you have question ask more specific question please because we explain in detail almost with all pages of this thread.

[Covarr]

NPC Reconstruction basically IS the Reunion patch, just a new version being developed by somebody else.

Saying "Alot better than the reuinion patch IMO" is much like saying that Debian is better than Linux.

[Thrashamatrix]

Covarr: Just leave it.... and to let you know you are wrong even the name tells you its different the NPC-RP is for the NPC's the reunion patch was swapping the battle figures to the field figures, the NPC-RP is about creating new and improved figures by:
1. Coming up with brandnew stuff. (Which is hard)
2. Using the battle.lgp figures and useing stuff like feet, arms, torso etc... from there. (ie: cid's body for the old man who looks like bin laden)

Covarr: Just leave it.... and to let you know you are wrong...

I believe Covarr was just agreeing with your standpoint to not take a shot at Reunion's patch.  They are one in the same and Reunion's was the predicessor that made all of this possible.  It is very much like arguing over if Debian is better than Linux.

Awesome work here guys! Alot better than the reuinion patch IMO. Keep it up!

Remember Cyph3r wrote this, not Covarr.

Those look great but it seems like they're heads and torsos are a bigger than the rest of there body... Is it just the angle the pics of the models were taken at?

And for the record the NPC RP is great so do NOT flame me for trying to give crits.

Try right-clicking anywhere on your desktop, then click "Properties," and then click the "Settings" tab, and then click the "Advanced" button, and then see if your video card has its own tab here in the Advanced box. If so, click it, and I'm sure you'll find a brightness adjust on this page.

Allright.  That's what I thought but I wasn't sure.

Alright, I got it working.  The problem was I didn't have FF7 in the Program Files\Squaresoft, Inc\etc, I had it in a different file, so the world_us.lgp wasn't getting modified.  I had to reinstall it into the proper folder (rather than changing all the shortcuts and what not).  It works and looks fantastic!  Excellent job, I look forward to future updates!

[TrekkiesUnite118]

I have a minor problem (atleast I think it is a problem.) I downloaded the mod and installed it like it said and in the world map I get the new NPC skins. But when I go somewhere like the chocobo ranch or a town, or a dungeon, etc. it reverts back to the defualt NPC skins. How can I fix this?

[Chrisu]

remember: not all models are done yet!

[stormmedia]

No his problem is that the char.lgp was not the original one from the cd.  If you didn't backup your original files I recomand to reinstall the game and backup the char.lgp and the world_us.lgp after that extract the char.lgp start the NPC RC patcher and remake the char.lgp.

Was a new char.lgp supposed to come with the patch to replace the original that I am supposed to extract or are you talking about the original one? And does the patcher automatically remake the char.lgp?

[stormmedia]

No if you didn't backup your char.lgp I'm afraid you will have to reinstall the game.  And you will have to remake the char.lgp with LGP Tools, the patcher only remplace the files in the char directory.

[TrekkiesUnite118]

Ok, well I got it fixed and working now and it looks great, keep up the good work guys!

[Vehek]

What should I do if I want tall, big models, or detail Super-Deformed models?

[bluesummers182]

Why would you want Tall models that clip?  You could just download the NPC RC and get high quality models that aren't really super deformed either...

[Vehek]

I think that the resized models look a little small and I like the look of SD-resized detailed models.

[stormmedia]

The thing is that the original game is made with the same base size as I made them when I resized them so now it's the same size as the original one so the patch is fully compatible with the game.  If you resize them so they look bigger that the original one it will clip.  Unless you modify the annimation files but still, it will be too tall for the game.  I don't see the good to have models that is taller than a door... do you ??
