X wasn't "way too hard", it was a welcome change with those sidequests from the piss easy ones we usually get with FF games.

In the international version, Yojimbo's Zanmato would come a lot of the time if you gave him reasonable gil.  They changed the odds for the international version due to the dark aeons and penance.  hence it is very easy to use yojimbo as a "get out" in euro version (provided you chose option to kill the strongest of foes).  They changed the odds A LOT.  There is a readme online which shows you that.

I really dislike how they put in these get outs.  They usually have one.

Cait Sith "All Over" : 7
Selphie "The End" : 8
Friends Quest: 9 (but I will let them off with that, as you had to do something to make ozma easier)

FFX was pretty challenging in some areas though for sure.  Seymour was usually a few time try especially on gagazet.  Yunalesca was hard and the dark aeons especially penance were very difficult and required you to fill a lot of the sphere grids.

OK there were a few that were difficult and most of the game bosses were easy.  The side quests werent

tried vsync (and remember fraps works fine with FF8).  Not sure about this frame skip thing though?  Again I would expect FF8 to have the same issue but it doesnt.

Editing isn't an option, I plan on putting the entire newly translated story on to youtube and that is enough work already

FF7 Tools / Help with Makou Reactor

« on: 2011-06-17 10:38:12 »

I had a look and didn't see any help file for it, but maybe I am just being blind.  Does Makou Reactor have a full readme somewhere?

In any case this is the issue:

I plan on hiding 99 1:35 Solider around the game for people to collect.  It is incredibly simple to do with Makou reactor the only issue is the actual placement.  The X,Y,Z,triangle values.  I can't just guess at them, we need a way to do this by having a map / walkmesh reference.  Simply guessing at the numbers will take a few years if you get me

I decided to merge this topic into the older tool thread - Bosola

cheers, makes sense. edit.  Dan!

Does it on windowed to me, too

Which options did you mess with?  Or was it just window mode that made it work for you?

Perhaps this is a resource problem and something is hogging a shit load when recording ff7 field?

I have always experienced this issue, no matter what the computer. My computer's are no slouches either.

Well hopefully someone can shed some light on it... there are only some possibilities really:

1. Fraps has some issue with aalis driver or changes
2. Fraps has an issue with aspects of how the field maps are drawn/rendered.

But since FF8 field is fine, there has to be something else going on here...

Do you use win 7 sl1982?

I always use aali as well.  I need to know if this happens with the non aali game (so I can see if this problem is exclusive to 1.02 or aalis driver) and if other people experience this issue with fraps.
------

The field is hardly a massive drain on resources.  It is a still image for starters and not even 3d aside from the characters so what can be causing a 2 fps drop there and no issue on world map (even overhaul world map) and no issue in battle or anywhere else.  It is just the field of ff7. It doesn't make any sense unless for some reason fraps is having a severe issue with the game (or 1 part of it or aalis driver). There is definitely something up here....

I will seeee  

edit

Sorry that's a woeful software tbh.  Very rubbish GUI for starters...  Not very good with the resulting recording either.

None of them do the job as good as fraps does...  aside from the fact it doesnt work properly with FF7 for unknown reason.  Can anyone else verify they have a 2 fps drop with fraps with ff7 field, and that this occurs on the original non aali-1.02 game?

Maybe if you change the affinity for them in the task manager it will help

tried that before too... in fact I always do that with fraps.  1 Cpu for fraps 1 for ff7... no go.

I have tried pretty much everythin.  I've changed settings in nvidia... all of em. I've tried new hardware, new OS (not 7 though), affinity... nothin works and it isn't because the system is too slow.  This is an odd reason...  otherwise it wouldn't work fine in ff8 field or ff7 world map.  What is going on here is some sort of compatibility issue with fraps and FF7...  I think.

i've tried on 2 systems, athlon and nvidia and pentium.  All of em had issues.  Currently system spec is

core 2 duo e6600
nvidia 7900
win xp
SSD 30GB

More than enough for fraps and ff7, and it doesnt work no matter what I do.  Always the same 2 fps loss, and again, it does not happen on world map or battle, just field and only in ff7, not ff8

What's your OS, DLPB?

XP, but I tried Vista and had same issue with fraps.  Also tried different hardware.  The other software for recording also either had an issue or was crap.
