I searched and every thread lead to a dead end. The timer hangs up and losses 4 seconds at least because the game starts stalling and then the pin enter part you only see the top bit of the enter part so you cant tell the numbers your entering. Help please.

You are using the menu overhaul project. Please install M005a from the thread in Graphic mods and see if this fixes the issue.

Yes I already was using the installer with the bootlegger, so should I try re installing separately?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3 on:** 2012-06-13 19:50:17 »

Is that installer using M005a? The recent one did a few fixes. If it is, then you are knackered until I get round to fixing it. Which will be a priority.

Go to that link and install from that installer. Not bootleg. I need to know if my mod is the reason so do not use bootleg. Go to that link I gave you and install M005a.

I just checked the safe and all seems well. You must be using older installer.

I did the install and a lot of the text is running together now. Not only that but there is an issue with the number entry not appearing at all. However the timer runs much smoother.

Sorry for the double post but I have tried re installing many times and it still does not work. Could someone get vincent for me?

You can use the Blackchocobo tool to get Vincent for you:

No that's unacceptable. There has to be a reason the safe digit is not there. Can you confirm you are using M005a?

100% I am I even re-downloaded it from you and did it separately and it did not work. Then I uninstalled it all and used the new one you gave me with the bootlegger just in case and it runs much better now but the entry for the safe is gone

DLPB_ · « **Reply #9 on:** 2012-06-21 09:47:54 »

You need to place a clean flevel (from disc) inside DLPB-backup and then rerun M005a. Try that.

SeraphimBahamut · « **Reply #10 on:** 2012-06-22 18:00:14 »

Tried that with the fresh F level and reran the installer and still doe snot work. The timer works perfectly but the entry number is gone

still

DLPB_ · « **Reply #11 on:** 2012-06-22 18:04:37 »

If it works for me, it has to work for you. It doesnt pick and choose when to work. Did you place the fresh flevel in DLPB-backup folder before installing? And can you try with and without translation option and tell me what happens.

SeraphimBahamut · « **Reply #12 on:** 2012-06-22 18:12:15 »

So go into the bootloader and try without it?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #13 on:** 2012-06-22 18:14:28 »

Do not use bootleg at all. Use M005a. Like I told you to. Use that and repeat the tests I told you to do. Come back and report what happens.

SeraphimBahamut · « **Reply #14 on:** 2012-06-22 18:25:04 »

I tried it twice, once with and once without the translation and it finally worked with the retranslation. Only problem is it crashed in the battle (goes off and smashes keyboard).

DLPB_ · « **Reply #15 on:** 2012-06-22 18:26:11 »

If it crashed in battle, make sure dep service is disabled or exception added for ff7.exe. See if that works.

Battle should not crash. Something is going wrong your end. Likely you also didnt use a fresh ff7,exe (again place in backup-dlpb)

I will try to see why numeric graphic isnt working with the normal game. It did with me though...

Well let me just say right now I do appreciate the tech support and aid I am getting

.
What do you mean my dep service? I tried it again and I got a little into battle but it still brings up something very bad has happened and then dies. When it came to reinstalling I put the fresh flevel... file into the backupfolder and ran the M005a file. That was all I did, the only thing I have noticed is the battle menues went very strange. The safe works perfectly fine though FYI

DLPB_ · « **Reply #17 on:** 2012-06-22 18:38:14 »

Place fresh ff7.exe also in backup-dlpb (along with flevel, that should stay there permanently now) and rerun installer. Fresh files should always stay in backup-dlpb, the 2 most important being flevel and ff7.exe.

If this doesnt work we will move onto dep. (which is being sorted for next release so you wont need to do this)

SeraphimBahamut · « **Reply #18 on:** 2012-06-22 18:44:26 »

I did both what you said, fresh ff7.exe and flevel, in the backup folder. Ran the installer. Now the game won't open at all.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #19 on:** 2012-06-22 18:55:36 »

Hahahahahaha!

Oh dear. We seem to be going backwards. Well, the next step is the dep service... which I fear is the real reason for the crash. in XP this was at right click my computer > advanced > performance settings button > data execution prevention . Add an exception for ff7.exe. if you arent using XP look into adding dep exceptions on google. If that fails, come back and I will attempt to give you a fix.

SeraphimBahamut · « **Reply #20 on:** 2012-06-22 18:57:15 »

Alright thanks, I need to go to work now but when I get back I'm going to try what you suggested.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #21 on:** 2012-06-22 19:24:19 »

try this, place in same folder as ff7.exe (not backup-dlpb) and double click. See if that fixes things.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1JH_wU1qqN4TmQtM1RtRzZENXM/edit

pass is FF7
extract the zip and then place exe in root. and double click.
disable antivirus.

dkma841 · « **Reply #22 on:** 2012-06-22 19:32:29 »

Maybe try disabling Anti-virus, UAC and run it as administrator aswell? This would increase the chances of a more successful install

DLPB_ · « **Reply #23 on:** 2012-06-22 19:37:55 »

that patch above should fix the dep issue once and for all.

SeraphimBahamut · « **Reply #24 on:** 2012-06-23 14:40:39 »

Well I did it, and the safe section works great, but any battle now crashes the game. The battle menu bar is all screwed up, nothing is in the right place.
