Should I copy the scene and kernel and kernel2 from the original disk? Thanks!

I have restored the International PSX version almost completely. Everything. The initial data is the same (copied entire table across from PSX int), so the camera is the same. You can switch camera like before already, but the camera will be defaulted to the EXACT SAME as PSX. The whole point of the project was to restore the game to the newer PSX version. So you are in luck.

Cool, no problem then.

I guess I'll see what it's like when it's released.

I loaded the first save i had made at the beginning of the game. Not solved and I experienced a game freeze after 2 battles while loading for the third battle... hmmm weird. Should I install menu overhaul on top again?

Try using original 1.02 and see if that helps. I have no idea why ERROR: GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY

I can't see this being an issue on my side either. I'd start again with new files. Check backup-dlpb folder and see if those are the originals.

LeonhartGR · « **Reply #1380 on:** 2012-08-22 19:02:09 »

Maybe memory is out because of magochocobo's huge pngs in combination with asmodean's shaders.

Ok Deleted all backup DLPB with fresh kernel scene kernel2. Re-installed M005a and then the latest one on top (but still came up with the errors mentioned above) and now it runs smoother than ever. Which menu is better overhaul or Felix's?

I like felix's. The error's you see there are already documented 100 times in this thread and are normal when using a used flevel.

You didnt need to delete the backup folder, you need to delete it AND restore ALL files to be originals. Then test if the error is there above. If it is still there even when using totally clean files AND backup file deleted before you install, then send me the save file.

I am almost guaranteeing this is a problem on your end. The battle crashes I dunno about, they look like memory issues you are having.,

LeonhartGR · « **Reply #1382 on:** 2012-08-22 22:58:03 »

It's solved for the moment but if something that I didn't notice occurs I will follow your instructions. Thank you DLPB!

Doonge · « **Reply #1383 on:** 2012-08-25 19:34:18 »

Hello,

I recently discovered that Square-Enix (re)released FF7, and, excited, I wanted to check what's new in that release. I was disappointed big time, but some comment gained my attention and I discovered qhimm.com (only now, damn me).
At that time, it was 01:00 AM, I should've gone sleeping to be in good shape, but the shock was too great and I downloaded everything following, and tested the Bootleg with various mods.

The result is really great, and is really an improvement.

Few things though :
- How could I control the padding of the dialog boxes? I feel there's not enough padding.
- I own the PSX game in french. I think I've read somewhere you need help for french translation : here I am. I could also fix french translation based on your work and this website : http://ff7.fr/neo-midgar/ (I'm talking with the owner).

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1384 on:** 2012-08-25 19:48:15 »

Show me a picture of what you are seeing.

The original border is thicker, but the padding is also bigger.
The padding with your menu overhaul is thinner, and the padding seems thinner too, both giving an "oppressive" feeling, as if the text is hard-pressed in the box.

So, how could one control the dialog boxes properties like padding and border?

By the way I have a suggestion (that I don't event want nor like by the way, but I'm just throwing ideas) : optionnal incorporation of the speaking character avatar to the dialog box.
Like this (first image found on googleimage with dialog box) : http://www.firingsquad.com/games/chronocrosspreview/images/luccia.jpg

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1386 on:** 2012-08-25 22:35:33 »

character speaking is too difficult to implement and would be a nightmare.

As for the other, look through our hex documentation. Select to place it on desktop from the installer. To be honest, I haven't looked over dialogue in ages so I cannot tell you which values to use. It isnt padding really.. it is a number of things.

The placement of text, the resizing by touphscript etc.
The chances you are going to be able to change that are slim to none.

Doonge · « **Reply #1387 on:** 2012-08-26 00:26:51 »

Selecting hex documentation in the MO installer is ineffective, return error 'cannot launch Hexteditor.exe, reason : file missing'.
I tried to download it from here, and create a directory dlpb-mods where I noticed the directory appears (in 'ff7/'), to see if doing this would be enough. But, same way the directory is deleted after the MO.exe process, I suspect it is cleaned and deleted at the beginning too (so even if I create myself the directory, and put the Hexteditor in there, it will be deleted).

Do you have any source code that I could see so I could try to modify it and add some 'padding' option? If yourself are able to evaluate the size of the box, and fix some left-margin/top-margin, adding a padding of 5px is just width + 10px, height +10px, margin +5px; and positioning the box -5px top and left (not going in the negative).
Maybe I'm completely out of it, and I don't understand at all how it could have been coded, but I'd like to see some source to see if I can do anything.
Thank you.

edit:
plus, I could see how I could change the combat menu, and the general menu too. I'd like to code, if possible, a templating system for those things.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1388 on:** 2012-08-26 00:40:33 »

I am afraid I personally don't have the time to help.... but the hex documentation should have gone to your desktop regardless in MO-Hex folder.

I will correct that other error you got for next installer. If it still doesnt work, wait for M06 in next few days and it should work fine

DLPB just make sure you check to make sure that all dioluges that use the btl_win_b_l_12.png are postioned correctly and not cut off or hidden. one of the main reasons i cant continue my ff7 gameplay

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1391 on:** 2012-08-31 20:55:09 »

We fixed that in touphscript but you have to use clean flevel (placed in backup-dlpb) and reinstall. Should work then?

If not which maps? The Shinra safe definitely works now if you install right.

Distractor_Beam · « **Reply #1392 on:** 2012-09-01 17:35:07 »

I just loaded up the game for the first time in about 3 years. I'm one of those guys that downloads absolutely every single mod and then tries them out. I currently have over 20 gigs from qhimm.com. This, to me, is the best new enhancement to the game I've seen. Well done.

Caledor · « **Reply #1393 on:** 2012-09-05 21:33:00 »

I just tried M05c on a clean FF7 install but the game crashes right after opening. As a side note, i noticed that with this version the size of the exe changes from 5.882.880 byte (as for untouched 1.02 exe up to M04d) to 5.820.416 byte... I don't think is that relevant since the "not being a Win32 valid application" error message doesn't pop up, but it's the only clear difference i can see right now. Has it ever happened with this version before?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1394 on:** 2012-09-05 22:21:48 »

The size of the exe should not change (it is impossible). If you are using bootleg I suggest you don't and see if the problem exists with the menu installer itself.

use latest installer.

Caledor · « **Reply #1395 on:** 2012-09-05 23:03:03 »

My bad, it figured out what was happening. It seems that the backup folder created by the installer contaned the original cd exe and not the 1.02 one. So every time I was reinstalling your mod, the file loaded was the one in the backup folder no matter how many times I replaced the exe in the main folder.
Thanks anyway

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1396 on:** 2012-09-05 23:05:29 »

Yeah best thing to do is place the original files in the backup folder, they are then always used

Hi, DLPB,
I want to ask you about this patch,

This Patch will it work Final Fantasy 7 Re-release edition http://finalfantasyviipc.com/en ?
Thanks in advance

This Patch will it work Final Fantasy 7 Re-release edition?

This mod was created for the original version of the game, so it will not work with the 2012 re-release out of the box. But there has been some development on a patch to revert the rerelease version back to the original. Someone else can confirm whether or not this mod works with that patch.

I miss the progress updates from DLPB.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1399 on:** 2012-09-07 00:03:00 »

That patch changes the new game into the old game and this works with the old game. Therefore this will work with the new game that became the old game because it is in effect, the old game. The menu project will not work with the new game unless it becomes the old game.
