Troubleshooting / Can't get touphScript to dump?

« on: 2017-01-19 02:11:37 »

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well today. I wanted to dump some FFVII touphScript to make some personal adjustments to Beacause, but I can't seem to get touphScript to actually dump any text. I press D, then Enter, and the program closes and nothing happens. The log file created ends up blank as well. I'm very confused as to what's going on; could anyone please offer their assistance?

I am using The Reunion mod, I'm on Windows 10, and I'm using the Steam version of FFVII, if it makes any difference.

Thanks for your time; have a nice day!

Solved Problems / [FFVIII] Black outline on top of the mountains in battle - transparency issue?

« on: 2013-05-09 17:54:58 »

Hello, everyone!

So I recently decided to try playing the PC version of Final Fantasy VIII again, and I'm having a lovely time. However, I noticed something shortly after I left Balamb Garden and got into my first fight--there was this strange black line across the mountaintops off in the distance.

I have a screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about.



Here's what it's supposed to look like, taken from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWhTWBsQaVk


It also shows up in Squall's bangs, the trees in the forest battle background, and many other places.

Does anyone know what might cause this, and how I might go about fixing it? I was wondering if this was something caused by the 8-bit paletted textures failing. However, I've fixed them by using FF8launcher, and the outlines still appeared. I also tried Aali's custom graphics driver to no avail. I'm still at quite an impasse in this situation.

Some information: I'm using Windows 7 with Service Pack 1. I've tried putting FFVIII under a different compatibility (Windows 95, Windows XP Service Pack 3) and it refuses to load FMVs if I do that. I also tried both the normal and NVIDIA GeForce v1.02 patches. I have Samuel Slight's DLS installed, and I'm using the Hi-Res font and the Direct3D Hardware Acceleration. I'm very hesitant to choose Software Renderer, since the graphics look terrible under that.

Has anyone ever really talked about this before? I'm doing a search of the forum now, and it looks like it's only been brought up once or twice over the years.

Thank you all very much for your continued hard work and support of the PC ports of Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII, thank you in advance for the help, and have a lovely day!
