I found this site about 3 days ago and I'm loving the improvements to FF7 that I never knew existed.  However when I try and run the game with this mod It pops up with a box that says "You have an error in your config file, some options may not have been parsed.(no such option 'mod_path')" then when I close that box the game crashes. I know next to nothing about how to even attempt to fix it on my own which is why I am asking for help. I have FF7 remix and AC avatars installed if this mod is incompatible with either of those. I apologize if this is a stupid question.

You obviously ain't got aalis driver installed properly.  The file is trying to locate mod path and other strings in the ff7_opengl.cfg file

Does this file exist and if so, is it correct?

The remix patcher comes with an old version of Aali's driver, before there was an option for mod paths

1.  The new time can reach 999 hrs, so that is intended.

2.  I can't explain that.  Did you use blackchocobo or some editor thats buggered the next level bar?

1: ups didn't know about that change, my bad  :-[

2: nope.. the save file was never edited with any tool.. also tried on a new game as u suggested but still same issue :-\

im also getting a crash in battles  :-\

There is no way that can happen...

unless you installed on wrong exe or something?  or installed over my old exe from the old menu project which I said not to do. (and if you did, you will have to run the uninstall option from BOTH installers)

Install on a clean 1.02 exe and see what happens.


You must also have newest aali driver.  Do not use the remix patcher.  Install mods separately.

Somethin must have altered your other exe, probably something awful from the remix patch?

TA does edit the exe but thats because of a patcher that I made.. I will be sure to look into that for next release.  As for that battle corruption.... no idea, that was probably aalis driver being old?

Dude, fantastic job. Everything looks great. I only have one issue and that's menu lag. Main menu and after battle EXP lag. Even a little during battle too. I also had this issue with TA menu overhaul so I don't really know what it is that's causing the lag.

That's aalis driver.  When you have cache textures off (compress_textures = no) the game will lag as it first loads textures into memory.  For example when a character dies, it lags because it is loading the red font into memory.  A faster hard drive is the only way to cure that if cache is off.

I did mention this to aali and he did express some interest in pre loading the textures so that this didn't happen.

Hmm, well compress textures is set to on, so I guess I need a new HD? I thought for awhile it could be my resolution but I lowered it and it didn't help much. Guess i'll just have to deal. Thanks again for the amazing work man!

That's strange, but it should only lag ONCE.  Once those textures have been loaded all should be cool :)

heh no rest for the wicked, got more options to add, but English tea I can get!

You were right. Just tested it again and no lag. Now time to lose my self in pure epicness!

Yeah, preserve is better. The windowed resolution works fine but I cant get that fullscreen. Ive got a native 1366x768 but it looks beautiful.
