The question of the installer, whether installed the Custom Driver.

id like to make a program that automates the installation of clouds models, and weapons but broken down to individual weapons and fixing the problems with conflicting texture ids. would making a program like umi be hard with no experience.

Slayersnext's Cloud weapons mod uses 8 of the 10 texture slots-- two weapons per texture.
Unless you have access to the original UV maps, altering those weapons to work in every possible combination is a difficult task.

I made a chart of Cloud's weapons:

Is this going to be included into bootleg once the bugs have been ironed out? Also, does this install anything that bootleg doesn't ( as of 39 )

Hello I want to say thanks so much for this installer this saves a lot of time searching for all the different models out there. One question tho does this pack include a battle tifa replacement model? I used DLPB's presets but I didn't see a replacement for her ingame.

No, this installer does not include Grimmy's AC Tifa model.
Grimmy requested that his models not be repackaged.

whitERaven has created a alternate version of the AC Tifa model.


Whiteraven Tifa Battle.rar                      whitERaven      Modified AC Tifa                        Qhimm FILE


I'm compiling a package of updated models to submit for the next release of UMI.

Ohh.. :-o I did not know Grimmy's didn't like his models being repackaged, do you think Grimmy will be ok with revising his models, then repackaging those revised models?? Techinically those revised models which I did contains large part of grimmy's work.. I tried asking for his permission though but I can't contact him..

I'm surprised grimmy would be against it here since he has helped with this project and some of the other models are his which he had no problem with.  I guess we will have to wait for word from him. 8)

Pitbrat is still working on documenting models but this is an announcement regarding Cloud, Tifa and Barrett models (and in future, probably any of the main character models).

If your model is a variation of someone else's, it will not be added.
If your model is a standalone Barrett, Tifa or Cloud model it will probably not be added.

If your model is part of a full set, I will add that full set.  If there is a style to your model that is not found elsewhere and not already added (like chibi), I will add it.

I will review each case because it is getting out of hand.  The future of this installer is originality.  I am managing my life better in the coming months and years and as a consequence frivolous things like this are now going to be treated in a more draconian fashion.

The installer as is, is already pretty good and I doubt people are that bothered by having to add some models manually.

Well its probably ok, people who want them can still download them easily..

I wouldn't say they wouldn't be included, Sure they are just variations. But they are definitely their own style

I'll have a look through them.  The issue is this installer is created for ease of use and it's getting a bit out of hand adding more and more and more of the same model (mainly the same 3 character).  If push comes to shove, I am going to have to shove :P

Although my works are just variations, I revised them in a way that they  all share same style and theme.. you can even say they are there own set already despite the originals being done by different authors.

Well it's really up to you sir to decide If you'll include my model revisions in your Installer, I won't really mind if I get the shove :) :) :) LoL
I fully understand the need to keep things organized specially on projects as massive as UMI. ;D

Hi, i'm just new to this forum. I just want to thank the creators of these models and the one's who took the time to compile it into a single installer for their awesome work  :)

but i have a question. using this installer, let's say I used the DLPB preset and installed it. then i would like to install other addons. would the DLPB install be deleted or would the files just be overwritten?

I'm newer, but my FF7 is fully modded, so I'll try to answer. If you are unpacking and repacking .lgp's, then it will only replace the files that you overwrite (ie. Grimmy's Cloud overwrites the UMI Cloud, the rest stay the same). If you mean addons such as the Menu Overhaul, it doesn't affect the Model Installer, and I suggest installing both. The you can still upgrade the battle scenes, movies and magic without altering the upgraded characters. Good luck!

Since your really new and there are like 100's of individual mods out here i highly recommend you use Bootleg which will contain all the awesome graphical mods and more along without really needing much knowledge since it's pretty automated and you just choose what you want :), here:

UMI and Bootleg changes all the models in the game and there are different styles and models available for each sometimes if you don't want Bootleg just use the UMI :)
