Title: Newbie tips for FF7 and thank you :)
Post by: prefix on 2017-08-16 22:45:42

First of all, thank you so much to all of you who have spent time on these projects! It is much appreciated by true Final Fantasy 7 fans like myself :)



Please make sure you follow EQ2Alyza's installation guide EXACTLY as its written at http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15520.0 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15520.0)


I did have some trouble installing and starting the game even though i followed that so i'll just leave my problems and solutions here;

• 1. Make sure you don't activate all the mods at the same time, do them one by one, and remember to change the setting from FF7.exe to ff7_bc.exe when installing The Reunion - Beacause + Menu Overhaul.
  Change it back to FF7.exe and keep activating until you've activated them all.
  
  2. Make sure you have deleted any old installations of FF7 and cleared your registry by using https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-Q_AObuWRSXb1VIdGViQjlVLW8 (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-Q_AObuWRSXb1VIdGViQjlVLW8) this registry thing from the Official FAQ at http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16538.0 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16538.0)
  
  3.  Make sure the order the mods load are correct;
  
  Miscellaneous - Dynamic Cloud Weapons
  Miscellaneous - Jessie Mod
  Miscellaneous - Team Avalanche Fields
  Battle Models - Weapons
  Field Models - Objects
  Animations
  Battle Models - Characters
  Battle Models - Enemies
  Battle Textures
  Field Models - Main Characters
  Field Models - Non-Player Characters
  Field Textures - Omzy/satsuki/yarLson
  Gameplay - Difficulty and Story
  Gameplay - Tweaks and Cheats
  Media - Movies
  Media - Music and Sound
  Menu - Avatars and Backdrops
  Minigames - Chocobo Race
  Minigames - Coaster
  Minigames - Fort Condor
  Minigames - Motorbike Chase
  Minigames - Wonder Square
  Spell Textures
  The Reunion - Beacause and Menu Overhaul
  World Models - Characters
  World Models - Enemies
  World Models - Vehicles
  World Textures
  
  
  4. You should check the configuration for each plugin as some of them have options that need to be activated inside the mod configuration window. (For example field textures)
  
  5. Before clicking launch, IF you use The Reunion - Beacause and Menu Overhaul make sure to set the FF7.exe to ff7_bc.exe in 7th Heaven, otherwise the game will crash when starting a new game with an unhandled exception.
  
  

Number 5 had me stumped for quite some time, i could load savegames but every time i tried starting a game from the beginning it would crash at the initial train sequence after Cloud jumped off the train.

Hope this helps other people get this running and avoid the frustrations i had :)
