7th Heaven / Some filepath issues, no post-processing works
« on: 2019-07-18 13:30:16 »
Hey, I got a new hard drive recently, added it to the two in my computer already, uninstalled FF7 and reinstalled it to the new drive (since I wasn't sure if Steam's move game capability was up to the mods), did the whole 7th Heaven setup process (including downloading the updated 7th Heaven, 1.56 RC6), downloaded my favourite mods as well as a few new ones, and tried to start it. Only to run into some... downright weird filepath issues.
First off, every filepath in General Settings apart from the movies one had double backslashes almost every time, as well as having backslashes in the middle of the game folder. What should have looked like 'E:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\ff7.exe' instead looked like 'E:\\Games\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\FINAL\ FANTASY\ VII\ff7.exe'. It meant that I had a random folder in steamapps\common\ that was named FINAL, which had a folder in it named FANTASY and so on, including the two folders in mod\ inside VII\ from the two other filepath settings in the same window.
Once that was fixed, I tried starting it up, only for an error message saying 'Postprocessing initialization failed, check APP.LOG for more details'. APP.LOG had this to say:
The relevant portions being this:
Note the folder it's looking in past the game one - all the backslashes are forward slashes! This happens no matter which shader I select, although obviously with different filenames. I went looking in shaders\ and found the only subdirectory was nolight\, with all others being in the root directory of shaders\ and no ComplexMultiShader.post at all, although every other option appears to have a .post, it's just that they seem to be in a different place to where the game is looking. And of course there's only one main.frag and main.vert in the shaders\ directory, all the others presumably having been overwritten by that one - although there remains a version of each of those in nolight\.
Any ideas what's happened, or how to fix it?
