It's about 60% or so.

The new patch is quite cool, but how many models are exactly new changed and remade?

Check the readme. It gives exact changes and additions.

There's about 60% of all the models done, as one can surmise from the 0.6 in the filename.

Oh, don't count on that zero88. The numbering in this patch just has just an ordinal menaning. Anyway, 60% it's pretty good estimation.

I could tell you to check the readme, but here it is, anyway...

11 models from Borde.
47 models from ice_cold513.
13 models from Stormmedia.

Plus Stormmedia modified five other models.

Are you sure you repacked them using LGP tools into an LGP and replaced the original?

If all else fails, try a reinstall.

This is one impressive patch, I don't have FFVII for the PC right now but i'm going to order it tonight ... If only to try out some of the neat patches posted on the forums. :)

1) Construct a new char.lgp file with your modified content using ficedula's tool like described here
2) Download the lgp-fix and unzip it into your Final Fantasy VII/data/field/ directory
3) Open a command prompt (run->start->cmd.exe) and navigate to where you have your lgpfix.exe and char.lgp (cd \program files\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\ probably)
4) Type lgpfix.exe char.lgp and press enter
5) Pray that it'll work

This is a quote^

I CAN NOT get this to work can anyone help? I get akai error thing

Most likely your char.lgp got corrupted. It may sound stupid, but it depends on the regional configuration of your windows. Look on the Programming feedback forum. You will find the solution there.

Personally I'm redoing Kimera (and my job is slowing down me a lot).
Stommedia seems too bussy with his job to work on anything.
As for ice_cold513, he is bussy with his Sephiroth patch.
So basically, the project is temporally stoped. Sorry.

Hi all !!!!
Afflicted for my English but I am French and nobody can help me. I hope that you will understand!

I have a problem concerning the tutorial provided with the patch.
In first : "Make sure char.lgp,world_us.lgp and the chocobo.lgp files are the unaltered ones off the cd."
Does this sentence, want to say that it is necessary that I suprime the three files?

Second : "Extract all the files in char.lgp with Ficedula's lgptools to ...\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\char\"
Here, if I included well, it is necessary to put the file of the patch in the char file (IGP). But I have download the software lgptools and I do not see any option allowing to put data in char(IGP). If someone would have a tutorial which explain the operation of software would be really cool! thnaks.

And finally : "Create a new char.lgp useing lgptools and delete the char folder."
Here I find well the option to create a file char.Ipg, but I cannot put the data of the patch inside.

I really depress….I hope that will understand my message and that you will help me!
Thank you for your answers!!

Oups, I had forgotten. I have already to install the réunion patch, but the stages which I quote were already made, except the installation, of course. And I play with the English version.

I will make simpler.
I will describe you the step which I makes. If something is not good, known as it me.

In first I download version 0.6, I extracts the files from char.IGP in \Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\char\. Before I do it, the file is empty. After the file is filled. (I his bus says perhaps that the file char was to be filled has the origin).
After, I launch the installation of the patch, and there are errors like: the file  bdca2.p is Unknown. For these file, I erase them directly.
Again after, The installation finished. I start then lgptools, I click on creating and after I select the file Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\char\ and select \Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\ who is the place or will create the new file char.IGP. The problem is that the file char.IGP weigh exactly 896 Mo.
The file is thus in \Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\ and in \Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\char\.
Finally I start FF7 and an error makes me return on the desk and leave FF7.

They is complicated all its….but thank you still to answer me!!


And forgive me of English because I the speech does not know too well.

No need to double-post Cloud_man. I suggest you to use the edit button next time.
Well, let's see. Those errors during the installation are cause by the Reunion patch. You must use a fresh copy of CHAR.LGP (not IGP). As for the repacking, use the create option. It will ask you for the directory where the files it should contain are stored. Of course, select the directory \Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\char\. If you select \Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\field\, you will get a completly messed up file. The right file should be arround 60 Mbs or so.

Normally, this graphic qualities of the chocobos is in version 0.6 or the next update? Because for me I have it in normal quality.

If you got a non-english-version, the patch wont update other files than char.lgp, that means only the field-characters are altered.

Ok thanks but I think that the models of chocobos are to modify only on the chart of the world.

And I have also to try to modify a character, and it is really very hard! You do really a good work!
I am impatient for the next update!!!
and.....hum.....sorry but :
The project is The project is give up ? because Because I reads higher : the project is stopped.

Thanks for yours answers !
