Help with custom models

[cito]

Hi all, I have some time creating custom folders battle and char (all monsters and characters of the game) and I need help to load them from 7THeaven.
I got it to work in bootleg with direct mode, but it is impossible for me to work for 7Theaven do.
I try make iro, load from folder, make a lgp file with lgp/unlgp, direct folders on game, but nothing works ...
-Batle Folder 3,43GB
Char folder 1,46GB
someone can help me with that? Plz

I could probably help with this but I'll need a pic of your main folder with everything in so I can write the mod XML for it. You can have a folder named battle.lgp and one called char.lgp. copy all files into the correct folder with no sub folders and it'll be easy. If you want everything separate and organised it'll take a lot longer.

[cito]

first thanks for answering.
just load the mods to get those 2 folders I am very happy xD
photos from the main folder put them below

[Tsuna]

I'll try explain in full detail. Make a folder somewhere called mod or something. Inside the folder make a battle lgp folder and a field lgp folder. Put every file in the correct folder. You'll then need to write the mod.XML file. To get an example of this in 7h click the options at the top and there should be an option to create iro files and extract them too. Extract a working one and look how it works. You can nearly copy it. I would suggest using one that's similar to the one your making. Are you making player models ie cloud tifa. Or enemies

i try to make both and npc.

[Tsuna]

Looks good to me. I can write you an XML for this in the next hour if you'd like me too or try write it yourself with the information from the my post above. If you want to have multiple options to choose a cloud tifa model well need to change it a little but if its just the one your sorted

[cito]

if it could be that charged my char and battle folders instead of the original battle.lgp and char lgp

[cito]

Ready. Like this?

Yup that exactly how I would do it. Now the mod.XML is all that's left. Extract an existing mod from 7H and look at the mod.XML and pretty much copy it but adjust it to your mod

For example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

That should be fine, now when option 1 is selected for each folder it will activate. If you place a PNG file in the main folder named preview.PNG it will be the image for you mod and i changed the author to you

maybe I did something wrong xDDD

[Tsuna]

Actually I think I made an error. There's no " at the end of some of the lines like char.lgp. try that

[Tsuna]

Wait maybe not. I'm not sure. Umm I'll be on my oc soon if ya can wait a little

[cito]

Do not worry though not for today I do not care. I have long been on trying xD

[Tsuna]

I'll try teach you how it works so you can do it yourself forever without help

[cito]

OK thanks. since 2015 start FFVII With mods I learned everything by trial and error. It is the first time I asked in a forum because my English is doubtful

[cito]

please someone could help me?

[Tsuna]

Ok, i think i got it, i learnt a lot since way back then
For this to work properly  follow this list:

Create folders "Battle" and "Char".
Each with another folder inside named "battle.lgp" and "char.lgp"
Place your models inside each of these

If you want pictures to work
Create a folder named "Preview"
In this folder the main picture for the mod must be called "Pic" and must be a PNG
There are also option for "Off" and "On" which also must be PNG

That should all work fine

Hmm, only thing i see is why are all the files archive files? They don't look like that on mine. Where did you get these
