Holy mother of God... that's a wicked Cloud!!! I hate copyright issues for messing up the hair!!! >:(
Will we be able to use your Cloud with the dirty buster sword?

I like those. keep it up when it comes to editing!

You can always use any combination of swords with any cloud model. You may have to use biturn to convert swords back to 3ds and pcreator to reset the texture id and make it a p file again so it will work with what ever model you are using, but that's half the fun of modding and a great way to learn the tools.
-
you forget a long hair on tifa ^^ shes not a short hair:P
-
i dont really like the cloud model but his weapon looks ace and your diamond weapon is by far the best i have ever seen
-
Are direct links to the Cloud, Tifa and Yuffie models allowed in the forum?
They belong in the big list.
Is it too early to add them to Bootleg?
-
I'd prefer to keep things on my blog separate from here.
Here's a shot of what I'm working on now.
(https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B7M9_-82mYREbGowTVhDUG1ONlE)
It's my first custom mesh. I referenced both the original and idk models during mesh creation. I will be using the Gold Saucers flevel image to texture it the same as I did with Diamond weapon. The texture is just slapped on there for the screenshot.
Edit: Well It's gonna be awhile before I release that Gold Saucer. I have lost it and will have to recreate it.

Here is a little thing. I added Elmyra and Marlene to Kalm after the Rocket launch. They are total new additions and do not just replace another npc. I put them in the empty upstairs of the second house. If you Don't like the text use Makou Reactor to add you own.

I currently making a change log for my flevel project. While doing this, I found some missed changes I had made on my German mod. I have implemented your change, because I think it's a nice addition. The change log has the following structure: [Field] [Author] [Change].
This way I make sure everyone get his credits and the other could see what actually is changed.

Your world map town mod download isn't working. Can you re-upload it please?

Repaired Towns link.

Grimmy, the world map update by FeliX really needs the towns and buildings sorting. I am sure he would have no problem with you updating his mod for him. I could ask him for you? Of course... if you wanted to do? FeliX is going to be busy with life for a long time.

Sure, here is what I'm using. It is felix wmp beta, 57 additional tex, full world map by ff7remastered, my towns and tweaks to Chocobo prints and mountains. It is a nice set that completes the world map, sans the models. I may get around to fixing the few issues it has, but they are so minor I'm not motivated to do it.

So these add ons work with Felix mod? And they blend in? (the original town models look really bad on felix mod because you can see the original grass etc.
-
Reuses parts of the original wmrp for town grass sections, so some of the greens aren't spot on.

I did a quick set of upgraded textures for the Bike game. I thought these had been done before but I couldn't find them, so I made them. New avatars and score boards. Looks great with all the bike game models and original Motorball by bloodshot.

Here is a mod that will allow Jessie to join your party for the bombing mission. It uses 7thHeaven's ability to change files based on variables, and as such is 7thHeaven exclusive. Some people may have trouble getting the Avatars to work, but I included a readme that will explain what your troubles are. Some pics.

Very cool Grimmy :)
I look forward to adding this to the catalog.
-
Having Jesse join the party for the Bombing Mission is an awesome idea! I assume you copied the animation from Tifa's?
-
I think that she should use Vincent's gun skeleton. It would make more sense she is more for blowing things up as to punch them to death. Also she has a gun as accessories. :wink:
-

She actually does punch Shinra mook too (when the train stops at the station on the opening sequence). I'd be fine either way though.
-
That's pretty cool, Tifa's anims are probably the best fit. Vince wouldn't be as straightforward; might be a bit awkward if Jessie transformed into Galian Beast all of a sudden.
-
I like the extra playable character, however it should be "of_course!" instead of "of_Course!".
-
Nah, it should be 'Off, Course!'
-
Will Grimmy upload his Female Cloud mod as an iro too?
-
So after installing World.7z in my modpath, I'm met with these results. Is this normal?
Disregard, got the answer in another thread. It was my own fault.

Hi Grimmy,
This is a repost of what I put on your moddb page in case you don't monitor your account anymore.
I really like the look of your JKA Yuffie model, thankyou so much for designing it. When I install it using Bootleg as a CustomModel the game crashes whenever Yuffie is in the party and the battle screen begins to load after the swirl.
Does this link: http://www.moddb.com/members/grimmy307/blogs/ffvii-pc-project-update/#5182133
... go to the finished version? 201 files in the battle lgp is alot more than the other custom models I'm using is all.
Thanks in advance!
-
The animation file of this model is broken. You need to replace the **DA files from either the original vanilla files or download another Yuffie model and borrow the files from there. Grimmy's model will work fine than.
-
So out of the 201 files in the .lgp
rxda
nuda
ntda
nsda
nrda
nqda
npda
Will they be named the same in another model and I just delete the bad files and replace them with the scavenged ones?
-
Yup that's it. Just snag the **DA files and you're good to go.
-
Do you know if its possible to just swap out the files you mentioned without reinstalling the game/running the Bootleg process from scratch?
Have tried 7th Heaven with no success - my machine can't handle it.
I've borrowed the files from Whiteraven's model and am ready to give it a try.
-
I reinstalled everything with the **DA files swapped out. The game is still freezing in the first few frames of battle with Yuffie in the party. I rechecked the custom models folder to make sure I hadn't missed any.
Any ideas?

Running Windows 7 (64bit OS) on a Lenovo G575 laptop
ATI Technologies Inc. AMD Radeon HD 6300 series Graphics 4.1.10750 Compatibility Profile Context
AMD E-300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.30 GHz
4.00 GB (3.60 GB useable) Ram
200 Gig free on the hard drive.
The game looks great especially the world map graphics and battle scenes but gameplay slows to a snails pace when in the menu, field or overworld.
I gave up and went back to Bootleg as I get no slowdown.
OK, I'll try replacing the files you suggested on my next reinstall.
Cheers!
-
There aren't any **BA files in the JKA model or the donor model I'm using. Did you mean a different set?
-
Did you change anything in Workshop -> OpenGL driver configurations before playing? The default settings will run the game on a 3840x2160 internal resolution, which may be a bit much for your system.

I've got a little project I've been working on to share. It is a play as the Shinra mod based on Jeets mod for the psx found here. (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14507.0) and a modded version of Scarlet from mr_nygren's play as shinra project found here. (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16225.0) It is a 7thHeaven mod that fully swaps the entire party for the shinra so you can play through some events of the game that are only talked about. I am still scripting all these events in the flevel, but here is a little demo video of how it will operate.

This will just be a story addition to the original game and not a stand alone play as Shinra mod. I should be ready to release the iro in the next few weeks unless I add some more scenarios.

Enemy models as playable characters D: how did you manage that?

Enemy models as playable characters D: how did you manage that?
In principle, it's easy. It's just that you need to heavily edit the AB file of a player character to make the enemy skeleton fully functional. Most of the time it's figuring out which animations look good with what command that's the hard part. Obviously enemy animations were never designed for using Deathblow or Morph or stuff like that.
-
Is the documentation on the AB file still kicking about somewhere? I imagine I'll need to hex-edit it.
-
This (http://wiki.qhimm.com/view/FF7/Battle/Battle_Animation/Animation_Script) is probably the best place to look at when you're hex editing AB files. There's more stuff lying around the forums too, but you'd have to search to find it all.

Yep, Jeet had already done all that in the PSX version, so all the commands do have an assigned animation. I just had to extract the code and put it in the ab file.

Yeah, but i'll be releasing these in a week or two so you could just wait and then you'll have them to do with as you wish.

It's currently set to replace a blank field, but you could find other ways to use it.

Hello, what happened to the "Play as the Shinra"-mod - is it released?
Also, i play on Bootleg and would want the raw-files as i could easily implement those. I don't really care about the story being different - i just want the characters and their animations.
By the way, as for Jeets mod i have it fully working on my PSP since back in 2015 and it's cool - but the graphics are not on the same level as the PC-version obviously. I tried getting it to work on my modified PS2 but while the mod worked all the save-games couldn't be loaded. They get corrupt or doesn't work on a memory card for a pal ps2. And without working saves it's impossible to play the whole mod.
On the PSP it worked fine but it's a small screen..
On PC would be best. I know how to replace the models, change animations manually etc - but how do one add the animations directly from the battlemodels to the playable models like previewed in this thread? I read something about an AB-file - is it possible to just swap Cloud for Rufus and then insert the new commands in Clouds AB-file?
The second problem to this would be bones missing.. How did you guys add bones to the playable model? Or did you just swap the files? I tried that and while the animations did work - they had the wrong commands etc. Like doing their attack animation when clicking potion or the like.
If i would guess how you managed to do this i would guess on swaping the files and editing the AB-file so that all the cool enemy animations ended up with the right command buttons.
A tip on where to find Jeets commands, and possibly instructions on how to do this would be appreciated. Or if i could just use your character files would be awesome Grimy. Otherwise i'll do it myself but would want some help on how to do this.
I am a little off as i haven't touched FF7 modding since last year - but i know how to just replace the files and it's there problems with animations and buttons may happen. So any tip on how to add Jeetz commands would be great.
Also, i don't really want the field models shown here as i prefer them to not be cell shaded - but the animations and battlemodels sure. And world map models etc. Pretty much everything but the fieldmodels. Thanks :)

It has taken me longer than expected to make this Shinra Party swap function properly. Mainly due to the fact that the Kernel is loaded into memory once at startup, so I was unable to make custom limits or item names like in the psx version. But I can no longer keep spinning my wheels trying to trick this mod out and so I am releasing it as is. As stated above it is still based on Jeets mod for the psx found here. (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14507.0) and a modded version of Scarlet from mr_nygren's play as shinra project here. (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16225.0)
It is a small play through of what events may have occurred at the Temple of the Ancients before Cloud and Company arrived. I included the PHS anywhere mod to allow more playability with the Shinra characters since the event is so short. If you want to play with the battle models as a stand alone mod(outside of the story point swap) just use the Black Chocobo save editor and give your party the "Letter to Daughter" key item. That will swap the battle models, world map models and the avatars, but not the Field models or names. That's just if you want to do it as a stand alone mod, everything is fully swapped in the story point playthrough. Here are the Screenshots and demo video again as a refresher.

One side note. Dyne is shown above, but i pulled that character and added in Tseng. Just made more sense story wise.
The known issue with this mod is the same as the jessie mod. For the avatars to be swapped they have to be .tex files loading from a menu(direct) folder. For some reason a .png file loading from a menu(mod path) folder has a persistence like the 1st avatar to load is held in memory and never reloaded. The solution is still the same as with jessie, run your menu avatars as .tex files and then any avatar swap mods will work without any issues. THis is a 7H exclusive mod like the jessie mod because of the file swapping based on in game variable feature. I also built this using 7H 1.55, so i don't know if it will work properly under older versions. If anyone would like to use the contents of this story addition mod to create a full Shinra mod just unpack the iro using 7H and have at it.

I'll help with any questions other than "Avatars aren't changing/Shinra Avatars remain after main party returns", because I already spelled out the fix above. Also if you aren't using 7H 1.55 then you will probably have issues.

Could you please send the files with Dyne? I wanted that character to replace Barret in my sub-mod and i thought i could use your files to finish my sub-mod =):
-
I'd always turn "homo" for you Grimmy... and I keep coming back :P :P :D

I see you altered the Scarlet-model Grimmy.
Not only were the model file altered but also the animations - i think it looks less good in this mod.
The arm is not as properly connected and the victory animation looks more glitched. I replaced your Scarlet battle model (modified version of mine) with my original one. I just want to say to everyone that may read this that it's better to add the official Scarlet battle model as it isn't as glitched.
The arm and hand doesn't look as glitched

To each their own. I felt it needed more work.

So, I like many have been following Jusete's awesome fields (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=17791.0) and his progress. I just keep seeing and thinking about certain fields (https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasy/comments/58b6fw/artist_reimagines_final_fantasy_vii_prerendered/) that are not 100% accurate and won't work in game without strange clipping. However these fields are generally really good and I've always wanted to use them in game, so I set my mind to doing just that. I started with the obvious choice to see if it would even be possible to Photoshop them to fit into game and here is what I've gotten so far.

I felt that the Wallmarket Pharmacy went really well and proved the concept, so I went back to a much older field I've wanted to get into game.
The original Costa del sol

My edited Remade Costa del sol - Still in the works
(https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1pf4JwpP3Vc7VZSnhGUTl1ZzLi657-sjX)
I am close to finishing the Costa field but might start a smaller easier field before publishing it. I have a minimum of 10 other fields that can be made to work. For those unfamiliar with why the fields have to be heavily photoshopped to work. Basically, if a remade field is not 100% accurate to the original then it will cause strange clipping and overlapping in game making them unusable. That is what I am correcting with these edits.

They look amazing man, good work. What kind of editing are you doing in Photoshop??

Yep, CS5. Since these images have already been rendered in a non-accurate way, Photoshop is the best way(for me anyway) to get them to line up properly with the original images.
-
Oh man, I can only imagine how much of a pain it must be to get backgrounds that are already rendered at the wrong angles and with the wrong proportions in places to line up properly with the game's walkmeshes. Good work.
I do have to ask, though, did you get the original artist's permission to distribute modified versions of his work?
-
Shouldn't really need to, but I will try. Providing the original Author with credit should be good in this situation, and has been a practice here for quite some time. In fact, there have been a number of times that my works on this forum have been taken, re-edited and redistributed here without any credit given to me and I haven't thought much of it. However, I did edit the above post to better credit the original creator and If he was to contact me and ask I take it down as it somehow bastardized his work I would. Likewise if requested by the Administration. Honestly, I'm just trying to share the love and let people enjoy that and other great fields in game. I make many mods and when I have one I can share I do for the love of the game and all the other fans. Anywho, all that aside I shot him an email and if he says yay or nay I will respond accordingly.
While contacting him I found another field on his blog. Not sure if it had been shown here or not. https://belgianbooleancg.com/projects/oer6q (https://belgianbooleancg.com/projects/oer6q)
As for the field by Harro, I have received permission in conversations years ago to edit it to better fit into game.

Hahah Today morning I found that one as well. It's very good.

I hope the creator will give you permission grimmy ^^ I love it's 2 scene :)

I am working on the FF7 Shinra mod right now.
I just wanna say that both Dark nation battlemodels have an issue where they stand still when using their basic attack. They do attack the enemy, but they just stand still and move without moving their legs - this goes for both the one you sent in your Shinra Mod package and the one i extracted from your IRC-archive.
All the others work fine i think. So would probably be interesting to find out if it has it's own attack animation when using it's basic attack. The one where it is using the tail. The other ones seem to work fine.
-
Cool. I didn't actually adjust Dark Nation's animations at all when porting it over from Jeet's psx mod found here. (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14507.0) But you can assign any animation to any action by hex editing the **ab file of the model. A full break down of the file structure can be found on the wiki. (http://Wiki.http://web.archive.org/web/20170721040922/http://wiki.qhimm.com:80/view/FF7/Playstation_Battle_Model_Format) Unfortunately I am busy with other work so I cannot do that for you. Good luck.

grimmy will you also edited this one?

I'd would love to permanently install your Jessie mod! The issue is that I don't use 7H (all my files have been sorted by hand), is there a way to get Jessie's avatar working without 7H Grimmy? If not what would be involved in getting it to work?
-
I don't think it's possible at all. Only 7th heaven is capable of hot swapping anything while the game is running. I don't see it possible at all without it. both the Avatar and the model needs this ability for the mod to work.
