I agree, the model the way it looks now is great to me and id definitely use it. And just solid colors alone would just be too plain for me, so I like that he tweaked it the way he did

Clodus it's no point in quoting post direcly above yours:P, especially that it isn't much related. You get Cloud model black and white couse texture of "black box man" is black and white, my post wasn't mean to be an instruction how to deal with it, just correction which files have what and why you need them, or which you don't. Writing an instruction is fairy useless, as it depends on models someone already have and which versions of included in this pack want to use.

 And for your text about: "**ae", "**af" and "**ag" files that also depends on the model, don't write like you mean something universal, after checking one model, it can confuse people later on. Those are textures, maybe they were empty/filler textures in model you checked, but for example in the included Cloud weapons with effects pack rtaf and rtag ARE weapon/effect textures. I find it hard to call a texture something "not needed" in namely textured weapon models:P.

thx a lot! you're right about the "**ae", "**af", and "**ag" files they were important for my battle.lgp files to show the textures of the weapons. Thx to you I got it to work fine with ff7

Im using DLPB MO5 so im not sure if grimmy's upscaled magic textures was included in the installation and when i turned new_battle_interface = off the same problem persisted and the screen bg where the commands are turned black http://s1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg584/cocoboii/same%20issues/?albumview=slideshow

Solved Problems / SOLVED: Issues with casting enemy skill beta and ultima

« on: 2012-04-29 18:57:01 »

Every time beta or ultima is casted I get a partial white screen (looks like dis) http://s1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg584/cocoboii/Issues%20with%20ultima%20and%20beta/?albumview=slideshow while the skill is being used, then it reverts back to normal after a couple of seconds. Its weird cuz dis doesn't occur with any other materia as far as I know. I was wondering if anybody knew why Im having dis issue and if it can be resolved and whether it has anything to do with my opengl settings. And my thanks goes out to anyone who took the time to help me with my issues thx in advance!

thx a lot e1sunz!! the world map looks soooo much better than b4. As for the battle scenes.. well even with the png files its still lags just as pitbrat mentioned above.

Didn't think that zip would get released without some clean up. Ignore all folders except All Highwinds. It has all three needed models in that one folder. The other folders were used during construction. Anyway you copy-paste it into your World_** should work just fine though. I'm interested to see some in game screen caps.

Im confused tho, if I only wanted v2 why should I copy the contents of "All Highwinds" in world_us wouldn't tht cause a conflict if I try to use all 3 versions from within tht folder?? How can tht even work?? yea confused....

« on: 2012-04-12 19:14:09 »

srry for the late reply, was running the game and engaging in battles to test the limit breaker and it worked like a charm. Thx a lot pitbrat, i hadn't thought of putting it there before because I didn't see any previous jo_b03_00.png file there. Thought that file had to be replaced for it to work so tysm for pointing that out : )

much thx to the both of ya, changing the screen resolution back fixed the problem. Only reason I had it changed tho was because I liked it at full screen without the black borders. Is there anyway that i could have it that way without the issue i had b4.. if not thts cool i can live* with it xD. And much thx for dis brilliant, awesome looking mod DLPB

sup DLPB. Id like to first start off by telling you how much i appreciate all the handwork u put into making dis awesome mod and that goes for all the other modders as well. Now about my issue with the MO5, my menus and dialouge boxes... pretty much all of the text boxes arent completely solid but besides tht all else seems to be working fine. So yea its not really much of a big deal but its still an eyesore so if it can be fixed id be most grateful. Btw I understand u got lots of things to do and u might have addressed dis issue already but if u can take the time to help me resolve dis issue im having it would mean a lot thx in advance
