FF8 Tools / Re: Hyne 1.3 - My ff8 save file editor
« on: 2011-03-12 19:04:30 »
Ok, thanks. If can be usefull, I found a way to get the "ALL" rule working: I set "ALL" in actual use and direct in the city I want and this solution works.

Hi,
 I found a bug in triple triad regarding trade rule, if I change to direct, diff or All the rule in game remain "one" or nothing.
I use ff8 psx pal with epsxe 1.7 under window 7.
Can you solve?
Thanks

FF8 is pretty much broken in 0.7.10b, you're just lucky if you even get it started.
Then I'm lucky for once :D 
I'll wait for next relase ardently
Thank Aali

Troubleshooting / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.9b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions
« on: 2010-12-18 23:05:39 »
Thanks,
   therefore apz Cloud should work in direct mode and this "ERROR: COULD NOT CHANGE TO DIRECTORY .\Data\BATTLE" is my fault. I tried "Final Fantasy VII ITA Reloaded 1.0.3 - an italian compilation mod" to start this time,  maybe it makes some mistakes, now I try to reinstall from zero.

Regarding point 3rd: I know I can see the action but I hope a thing like this in app.log:
Reading Cloud battle model from file...  aa1
............................................................. aa2
............................................................. aa3
Reading ok

An other little question, I try using Aerith HQ mod, in direct mode no success, and in lgp file I had file missing error on RVAE that not exist in original battle.lgp. In this case direct mode not works, right? I must check if all the mod file is in lgp before use it, I understand now?
Thanks

p.s. In future, can the driver host the mod without modify the original file?

Hi,
  I don't understand some things on direct mode:
1- Why can't I use direct mode instead of lgp files for normal games?
2- I try direct mode with apz Cloud but don't work, why?
3- There's a way to know if the driver loads form direct folder instead of lgp file?
4- I use direct mode with no error but when I compress in lgp file I have many error of missed files, why direct mode don't shows the errors?

Thanks
Edit:
p.s I have also this error:

Fault or not fault bypass cd-check without original cd is illegal. Don't have a dvd drive is not a reason. I don't have a dvd drive from five year and I don't use FF original disk from ten years. I rip the original CD of FFVII - FFVIII for pc and FFIX-FFXII for emulator before they works on emulator and also now I can play FFX and FFX-2 on pcsx2.
How can you know if a user speaking about no-cd have the original copy? And if you speak about bypass cd-check, are you sure that I user without original CD use this knowledge for illegal purpose?
No matter the software house name, anyone has the copyright of FF can take action against the user that not respect the license, fault or not fault. Would you like to risk or you prefer to use this wonderful mod?
I hope not to be melodramatic but FFVII and FFVIII are my best preferred game and even if I am a Newbie on this forum I read this from long time.

I think it's not important how but the principle, if we can speak about no-cd  check we can not differ from who have the original CD and not. I think eidos-squaresoft tolerate mod only for original CD and speaking about copy protection can lead them to action against Quimm or worst against Aali and is incredible driver and I prefer have original FF with mod that a possible solution for cd-check without mod.
I hope to not hurt anyone but I already read about legal action and project lost for this and this is a very pity.

Hi,
  FFVII works perfectly on my pc without error:

 1 - I have the original Final Fantasy VII CD and I use cd images with daemon tools (no mini-image).
 2 - I use cetramod guide to translate FFVII in Italian with Sadness translation patch but without theirs two avi videos with subtitle. The translation doesn't give me any error or problem.

The no-cd patch is used usually for the illegal downloaded version and obviously it's not supported.

It's on my todo-list, don't worry. Adding support for a new language is a quite boring and time-consuming process at the moment though. FF7 is a lot better than FF8 in this regard but I'm working on making it easier for FF8 aswell. Maybe it will be in the next version, maybe not.
Thanks, Aali, you are the BEST  ;D

You can disable automatic screensaver and call it with icon as I do.
Or you can use external program like autohotkey to map a more used joypad button to keyboard button and to send the same joypad event.

AutohotkeyScript
Joy1:: Send {Joy1}{space}

or
Joy1:: Send{myKey}

where myKey is the keyboard button with the same aciton of joy1 button in game

Hi,
   I try new nvidia driver 197.13 but never change, movies is also black with many frame skip. But it's only my problem or someone else have this issue? Otherwise I still don't bore to you.
However, it's possible to have a postprocessing filter in world map and an other in battle where with 15 fps run smootly.

O_o Try Installing previous GFX Card drivers I know that helped for me horrible framerate issue.

EDIT: DO NOT change Aali's driver just GFX Card...
Yes, I could but I don't complain for my pc's performance but for the slow down between 0.7.3b and 0.7.5b. Now I play happily with minor postprocessing but if there are reasons for the slow down and the greate Aali solve the problem I will be much happier with highest postprocessing filter and also people with poor performance pc will be happier ;D
Furthermore, I think, if a little problem was discovered between nearest versions it's more simple to reveal and correct it instead of wait and the check all the code with a big history change.
I'm a programmer and I think so but if I hurt someone, I ask excuse.

p.s.  A little question? Is it possible to reduce battle gui? It could be wonderful if I can set in option file screen coord x,y and width/high dimensioning also without maintain gui's aspect ratio  :-D

Hi,
With the last version I can't see the movies with outputDebug: lag between 7 and 11, skipped between 64 and 500+ , 15 fps. The screen remain black for all the test below with and without postprocessing.

Tests:

post-processing shader:
FPS
60 | enable_postprocessing = no
60 | post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
15 | post_source = shaders/median.post     6 pass (with 0.7.3b 25 fps)
20 | post_source = shaders/median2.post   5 pass (with 0.7.3 30-40 fps)
30 | post_source = shaders/median3.post   4 pass

From now all the test is with median2.post   5 pass

fps
60 | use_shaders = no (with no 40 fps better)
28 | enable_vsync = no  (8 better)

no difference between on/off and yes/no :
prevent_rounding_errors
minigame_framelimiter
battleswirl_framelimiter
use_new_timer
use_stable_timer
linear_filter
transparent_dialogs
new_battle_interface

Hi,
   now postprocessing is slower than 0.7.5b ver and more slowest than 0.7.3a. With postproccesing active and set on median ver 1 (my previous post) with this version videos remain a black screen with sound. With median ver2 it's still playable. What can I do return on 0.7.3b performance? Made I some error?

Hi,
   your driver is fabulous. Thanks for your works :)
I upgrade to new version only yesterday and I have a little performace problem that there isn't in version 0.7.3b.
I use median postprocessing filter by Kauto http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8306.msg125508#msg125508
but, because of my PC, I modified some things to improve performance limiting filter range:

  • Ver 1 - I deleted:
    • //#define mnmx6(a, b, c, d, e, f) s2(a, d); s2(b, e); s2(c, f); mn3(a, b, c); mx3(d, e, f); // 7 exchanges
    •    //mnmx6(v[0], v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4], v[5]);
  • Ver 2 I deleted also
    • //#define mnmx5(a, b, c, d, e)   s2(a, b); s2(c, d); mn3(a, c, e); mx3(b, d, e);  // 6 exchanges
    • //mnmx5(v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4], v[6]);
With previous driver ver (0.7.3b) median v1 works great but with the last version I must use median v2 because of slow down but v2 is not so good. I don't understand the difference from previous to actual version, there is a solution for my postprocessing problem?
Thanks,
