General Discussion / Modding the orginal Windows 98 release?

« on: 2023-10-11 20:46:22 »

while i know its better to be using the recent re-releases + 7th heaven, is it still possible to "easily" mod the orginal release by Eidos for windows 9x? i restored n old Gateway tower and im restoring it game wise to what i played back in that time peroid.

wha would i use on the old Windows 9X version plugin wise to enable mods? is there a mod manger that works under 9x or under 9x w/ KernelEX?

As strange it might be, im running the original 1998 version on a period correct'ish System in Windows 98, (though as a result, i cant use the open GL Driver or any nice mods,) wanted to try the trainer but it does spam error boxes "Range Check Error"

I'm likely going to get warned for bumping  ut these are the mods i currently use, http://pastebin.com/Wr3Xbxfm trying to look thru whats in the 7H modlist there isnt much in my current modsetup.

i spoke w/ Covarr in IRC saying it's rather difficult, but can someone explain how to manually update 2 simple things? Battle Model for Red XIII & the HQ Barret Model? (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14852)

7th Heaven / converting Bootleg setup to 7th Heaven, or not even needed?

« on: 2015-04-25 06:57:53 »

some time back before i switched to using Windows 8.1 i simply went w/ the somewhat older bootleg tut to setup and convert the Steam release so i can install mods (w/ Bootleg). i have no idea why i put down the game if it was crash related bugs or else-wise, but for awhile i left it alone.

i decided to pick up FF7 again the otherday went thru everything and no real issue other than i notice somethings are just out of date (i see in the long period of no updates to bootleg came along 7th heaven being what looks similar to NMM/MO for Skyrim.) being 7th is around now, its the new way of managing and installing mods, aali's driver's updated. a few updates to the OSTRemastered soundtrack, and the spares things.

is it easy to convert a bootleg setup for 7th heaven? or can the same mods be used in 7th heaven? or would for now just keeping my current setup w/ a bootleg config w/ just an updated aali's driver be sufficient on Windows 8.1? (if matters in if things would be ok as is, specs are AMD FX 4100 cpu [stock 3.6ghz speed]/8gb ddr3-1333 ram/gtx 760 OC[2gb ram]) (i mostly did texture mods (models/enemy/field), MenuOverhaul/TeamAvalanche GUI/OSTRe and Aeris Revival)

call me a blunder-head or blind for missing something or stupid if im just not seeing something about 7th heaven, but w/ it new to me feels that it'll be abit to get used to it  where im just familar w/ using Bootleg.

Troubleshooting / Re: controll issues (cannot use D-Pad)

Troubleshooting / controll issues (cannot use D-Pad)

« on: 2014-04-02 04:07:24 »

normal 2012/Steam i can use it no prob(well 2012 i haveto use Xpadder/Joy2Key to map arrow keys.) but after a Bootleg install, even if say i map arrow/numpad still wont respond (as if game knows theres the "point of view hat" [as Win7 calls it.] and stopping input )

just makes menu navigation a lil irritating when the analog left stick of a 360 controller is too sensitive for that.

any way to fix that?

Graphical / Graphic updates for Steam vers?

« on: 2014-03-30 05:56:18 »

i know that teh steam vers is pretty much the 2012 re-release, but

is there any texture enhancements for higher resolutions? (i play at 1776x1000 to make it a lil easy to stream and swap to/fro chat.) like enhanced battlefeild/battle scenes? or Char Models? the only mod i've used for FF7 was the Music Remix pack. (and before this re-release, the windows XP Compatibility patch.)
