not a whole lot :P the model files are quite large compared to the orginals, bout 2 or 3 times, same with the textures. (i suppose the textures could get shrunk pretty small) but I'd love to see someone try it out.

And with models the bigger problem over file size would be the poly count.

That's why I was talking about remodeling. Using low-poly stuff would probably solve the issue. My biggest concern is, however, making textures fit in a given region of vram. FF7 doesn't seem to have that many empty slots for extra images in memory.

Maybe I'm a little behind in the times, but I found another reason for the white textures.

Again, maybe you all already know this, but if you try to use Dreakon's higher quality cloud mod with this, it causes the white textures.  I tested it by using a fresh battle.lpg, then adding your weapon texture mod--everything works flawlessly.  But if I then apply Dreakon's cloud mod, the white textures are back.

Now I have to decide which I like more.  So I'm guessing you have to use an unmodded cloud or APZ cloud to use this pack?

EDIT: And while I'm at it, I had a quick question.  Which files are for Cloud's Buster Sword and his Ultimate Weapon?  I liked to replace the UW with the Buster Sword on the PSX just because the BS is his iconic weapon and the UW is too--garish.  Would I be able to just copy the Buster Sword's file and rename it over the UW to accomplish this?  Or is it more involved?

Yeah for some reason modded clouds fuck it up, I have no idea why or how to fix it D:

And the buster sword's model file is "rtck" and the ultima weapon is "rtcz". At least in the PC version - if you want to do it for PSX they might be different, dunno. At least for the PC just copying rtck and renaming that rtcz would work, the model files are very simple and do not contain anything that would possibly mess it up.

Awesome, thanks a lot.  Yeah I want to do it for the PC version, it's stupid easy on the PSX version heh.  epsxe and game genie work wonders :D.

I'm going to at least check out your UW this time before I swap it for the BS.

You may want to change your first post to warn people which Cloud models work and which don't.  It was really just dumb luck I figured it out myself, and I've noticed other people having the same problem.

Oh and thanks for all your great work!  This is my first time using the PC version, so I'm really loving all these mods.  Wish I had the ability to do some of my own.

I'm thinking the problem is rather something else than these swords, because ages ago when I released 4 first swords they worked fine with any cloud. It might be Aali's driver or something, dunno.

They work fine with Apz and Kula's Cloud models and even that other Cloud model that shall not be named for legal reasons.

Maybe but...I don't use the openGL mod--I'm still using the Saint's high res mod--Aali's openGL patch is too buggy for me, it crashes on my home computer at the start, and when I get it working here I have to turn it off because it can't play wind.wav, or whatever.  The high res mod is much more stable (for me).

That said, as I don't use aali's driver and I'm still having the white texture problem with certain clouds and not others...i dunno.

You're not using a torrent copy are you?? No one will help you if you don't own the game. :-\
Also I think you're asking in the wrong thread?? Anyways first you need the 1.02 exe

First: Post this in tech support. Not in the thread.

Second: is it a pirated copy? If so. Can't help you. could be millions of problems with is.

Third: Patch to 1.02 and install Aali's driver.

Fourth: Load game

I could never have dreamed anything that I modelled would look so good, even without lighting! I am literally amazed at what you've done with this and sweeper, just thought I'd say that here.

Awesome! Hope this is released soon!
It'll probably be released along with the Bombing Mission project demo from Team Avalanche, so you might have to wait quite a while longer.
