I know I've told you in IRC but best place this in correct area.

2 minigames are broken and need fixing.

The coaster needs to be limited to 60fps not 30 and my aimer fix needs adding.
The snowboard minigame needs limiting to 60fps not 30.

Hi there,

is it possible to have the music plugin available for FF8 as well?

I'm already using the custom DLS file, but it would be just too awesome if we could use looped-ogg files (OCRemix and Dissidia have a few good FF8 music versions).

No you can't. The music plugin uses debug info from ff7.exe in order to work. The exes from FF7 and FF8 are handled differently, and it can't be used. Someone would have to code it from scratch.

Aali, I hope you forgive me for not reading the 16 pages to see if my issue is already posted. (I searched though, and I found nothing.) I have messy Final Fantasy VIII screens. (See screenshots below.)

Things that I tried and didn't work:
  • Swithing from my NVIDIA card to my on-board Intel iGPU
  • Switching from NVIDIA patch to non-NVIDIA patch
  • Toggling these parameters: Shader, fancy transparency, vsync, full screen, linear filter, pbo

I have no mods installed, just plain FF8

Everything is okay at first:


But then:


Here is my log:

Hello All,

Can anyone provide an alternate source for Aali's driver [v 0.7.11b]?  Every link I can find leads to the same "backup.ninjaloot.se" site.  The site will not load for me.  Thanks for any suggestions :)

FleetCommand, try disabling shaders

Not long ago I passed through that part (Selphie with two characters incursion at Missile Base). That kind of glitch is very common in places like that, and…  Tomb of the Unknown King. But disabling shaders doesn’t any difference (at least on my PC). I have the same glitch, and I have shaders not activated, practically since the beginning, and it’s still there.

Hey man (FleetCommand), did you already notice that you can make disappear all that mess, just opening and closing the MENU?

Although… I remember have read, weeks ago, a thread of someone who had the same glitch, but his example was the Tomb of the Unknown King (I remember the screencapture). Those glitches aren’t permanent, and that’s because I just continued the game. You could check that out, maybe he got a solution there.

@Fleet Command: In the first few pages of this thread, I posted about this issue (it's actually in the first page for me, since I chose to display 50 messages per page). Here's the link to the post:

http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=11992.msg166325#msg166325

As you can see, this is a bug with the current version of the driver. You'll have to wait for the next version in which (hopefully) Aali will probably have fixed it.

For now, whenever that happens, bring up the menu and it will go away.

Yes this is a known problem with the driver and it will be fixed in the next version. Its a problem with some of the optimizations I added for FF8 to deal with the massive lag you used to get in the world map on low end rigs.

When using my FMV restoration (and possibly other peoples) the end FMV's that loop (inside the planet onwards) are hanging the game at each loop and are not smooth loops like they used to be with earlier driver.

In the section where you are jumping rocks, the transition to battle also makes the background go black.

This may just be me being an idiot but I can't seem to download the driver from anywhere? Could someone possibly enlighten me as to where I can download it? I'm tearing my hair out here :(

ajthedj747,

You link to an outdated version of Aali's OpenGL driver.
Use ff7_opengl-0.7.8b.zip or newer for compatibility with current mods.


ff7_opengl-0.7.8b.zip                           Aali            Only Use Mpeg Plugin if FMV's Crash     Qhimm FILE

ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zip                          Aali            OpenGL Driver from the god              Qhimm


Do these links work in your country?

I'm using the latest driver, and everything in FFVII looks like crap.



I think it could very well be the Avalanche Overhaul; I'll lurk around there, too.


App.log is empty, here's my ff7_opengl.cfg:

Code: [Select]
# ff7_opengl-0.7.10b config file



## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 0
window_size_y = 0
preserve_aspect = yes
fullscreen = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = none

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = yes

# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode
# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effect
minigame_framelimiter = on

# same thing, but for the battle swirl
battleswirl_framelimiter = off

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
#music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = off

# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = yes

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# expand battle viewport to cover entire screen and make the battle menu transparent
new_battle_interface = off

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no



## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = yes

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no

# display some real-time debug information

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = no

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

I'm probably just missing something really obvious, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Seizmik,

window_size_x = 640  or  1280
window_size_y = 480  or    960

mod_path = avalanche  <== look at the .\mods folder
                                                          e.g. .\mods\avalanche

#music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp  remove the # when
                                                              you have FF7Music
                                                              installed

use_shaders = no

fancy_transparency = off   maybe
compress_textures  = no   try this also

# Disable Error Notifications   add these lines at the bottom
disable_popup = on


What graphics card are you using ?

Turn off post processing.

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no

Your Avalanche installation is broken.

                                                          e.g. ./mods/avalanche

I don't know why I haven't done this...thanks!


#music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp  remove the # when
                                                              you have FF7Music
                                                              installed

I don't have it installed yet, but I'd forgotten how crappy the MIDI's sound :)
use_shaders = no

fancy_transparency = off   maybe
compress_textures  = no   try this also

# Disable Error Notifications   add these lines at the bottom

Will do. Already tried compress textures, but nothing changed.
 

What graphics card are you using ?

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200

Turn off post processing.

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no


Your Avalanche installation is broken.

That about sums it up, cheers  :-D


I'll try all of this, but I assume it's just Avalanche; I'll take it over there if more problems ensue. Thanks a lot for the help!

I'm using about the same graphic card as you, and no problem. Lets also precise that I always turn shaders off.

One of the original Squallff8 rebuilded models crashes the game on the Costa Del Sol beach.

I tested the unified models with the Costa del Sol beach and found no crash.
The models are good.
