No one deserves that for wanting to speak, even if they are an "asshat".

EDIT: Do you have a link to his website?

Harsh much El Ammo Bandito?

He was merely expressing his views, and the views of the population that actually don't want to kill everyone that ISN'T exactly like them. From the multiple entries I read from the link you just gave, it seems like he was rude to his fellow students because he wanted to get to the front of the line when he was at the back, but that wasn't because he was an attention seeker, its because he felt he needed to say what he said. Theres no excuse for what happened. It doesn't matter how it happened either.

EDIT: Guns should be ILLEGAL. Not used by police to silence people for expressing their views. To say that he should have been shot just because you don't like the way he was acting is ridiculous and totalitarian. I don't like the way he was acting either, but thats the way he is. Deal with it.

I am absolutely shocked by this video.

I'd like to thank you, ZaxD, for putting me on to that editor. Now I can swap Cloud out of battles like any other character in PHS! I know you can swap him out using Jenova but Jenova doesn't make it permanent. Ta!

Although it should be noted that you should have either Cloud, Cid, or Tifa in your party (because the rest don't have paths and won't appear), while I was on the highwind I was able to control Yuffie and Vincent. Odd. Although when I went to Bone Village with my controllable Yuffie, Cloud appeared on the world map even though he wasn't in my party (normal), except when I was inside Bone Village, no character appeared but I was able to control an invisible character as though they were there (which isn't much good, but I'm still able to swap out cloud!).

Is the point not just to make it another song thats based on the original?

Theres a song that hasn't been part of a project called "AerisSummerSamba", which is a remix of Aeris(th)'s theme. I think its fantastic, but I don't like listening to it. It's very well done though.

Yeah just choose the mp3 files to download instead of wav.

What's everyone thinking of the remixes? I'm currently halfway through the second disc... enjoying a lot of the tracks! Can't say which is my fav yet though.

I'm almost certain its your ATI settings. In catalyst turn off any AA or AF you have enabled. This is also a problem with Final Fantasy VIII. Its an ATI Radeon issue I think. Also in the configurator make sure you tick tnt in the display settings.

Are the PSX flevel files not the same as the PC ones? I think you'd just rip the file from the disc and read it with loveless...or Cosmo or whatever program you're using. But do they support Japanese text?

If what I just said was entirely idiotic and laughable please don't eat me, just ignore me.

I had this problem when I had vista. (Switched right back to XP MCE after about a month, mind you).

If you're usiing the patched FF7 Configurator, move the old FF7 Configurator from the game folder if you haven't already. This solved my problem.

I had this problem.

Turn off any anti-aliasing, adaptive anti-aliasing and AF in your video card program (I'm not aware what that is for VGA Onboard, sorry). That should solve your problem and allow you to play in Hardware Rendered mode.

« on: 2007-09-12 18:06:22 »

I'd give you my save (which is one right before Wutai because thats the first time you're able to get Aerith's Great Gospel) but I've added certain funny "personal touches" to the Key Item descriptions (namely the diamond tiara and other dress items) that I'd be rather embarrassed for anyone else to see.

I can tell you that she does say that. I played over that part today with her in my party, and the Yuffie side-quests (where she steals the materia and climbing the pagoda) are both available on Disc1 as soon as you leave Rocket Town.

I'm Scottish. Its Scottish.

It's also the worst impersonation I've ever heard. If I didn't find it hilarious and/or if I wasn't used to absolutely horrible adaptaions/translations from Square, I might be offended.

Its a good thing humour exists!

I didn't know you could do it. Is there not a guard blocking your way or something? I was sure the "underwater" materia was listed in an "unmissables" guide on gamefaqs.com because you need to morph the ship enemy in the underwater tunnel and give the Guide Book to the man in Kalm to get it.

Of course that in itself is wrong because you can morph the ship enemy in the Battle Square at Gold Saucer XD.

Don't mean to be a pain, but have you made any progress finding a game script?

Are you looking for the original Japanese? I'm currently doing a number of searches for it because I'm really interested in this project. I found the FF6 fan translation amazing. I wish I could speak and read Japanese so I could help more but alas! I'll just do what I can.

Good luck... I'll edit this post if I find something.

Is this patch hosted anywhere else?

The links to both the old and the new don't seem to be working for me. When I click on the link in this thread I'm taken to the filefront mainpage, and a search yeilds no results also.

Q-Gears / Re: Q-Gears 0.13 Windows Installer is here!

« on: 2007-06-20 17:00:40 »

I tried installing Q-Gears using the original PSX discs on Vista with no joy, I've just swithced back to XP MCE so I'll see how it goes now. Does region matter? Will the installer work with PAL discs or NTSC? I'm from the UK.

EDIT: It works! And the install was actually a lot quicker than I thought it would be. The actual "getting of the files from disc" part of the installation just wouldn't go anywhere with vista... literally it would just stick at that part. But it took about a minute on XP!

Troubleshooting / Re: movies are not playing

Also check this:

I tried it with the 1.02 patch - black screen. So I decided to just apply all the patches I had before, to see if it would work then.

I followed this guide to the tee:- http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=6238.0
As I did before. I used the YAMP "movie skip" with ctrl-s, when the Eidos screen is supposed to play I used ctrl-s, and it took me to THIS!
(...)
Which is absolutely ridiculous. I went to the new game option and skipped the "non-existant" opening movie.

You know I've just found out that these black screen "non-existant" movies you are able to "ctrl+s"kip and play normally probably means that the game cannot locate its movie files... so check your "moviepath" in registry thread HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\.

I've tried to enter invalid path in there and it turned out to behave exactly that way - black screen skippable.

You quote this rather a lot ^_^

Troubleshooting / Re: FF8 Registry right after install (problem)

« on: 2007-05-31 12:38:36 »

I installed it on vista last night and I was getting the black screen too. I had the FF8 Configurator in my install directory with the original FF8Config that comes with the game, and then when I removed the FF8Config it worked fine. If you make any changes to the registry I think it resets at some point? For example I made copies of my discs to run the game faster so I had to change DataDrive to "g:" instead of "d:" and that was fine, then when I ran the game after fixing blackscreen-crapness it asked me to insert disc one. So I went back to my registry and it had changed back to d: - no idea why. I changed it and it worked fine. I'm not even going to attempt to install FF7 at the moment, I used to spend hours getting that to work properly and I shudder now at the thought of it on vista. *shudders some more*

Archive / Horrible graphics problem with FF7 PC - Need help.

« on: 2006-12-30 05:30:14 »

Heres the deal! -

I've been a frequent visitor to this site for a long time now, had an old computer and managed to get FF7 PC working with all patches I wanted/needed for the game to run, which was excellent. So I got a new computer. It has a worse graphics card than my old one with worse memory, but a much better processor.

Specs from dxdiag:- Processor - Intel Core Duo 3.0Ghz (2CPU's)
                                            Memory - 446MB RAM
                                            Display - VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP

Windows XP.

I had already installed FF7 PC the week after I got this PC, and it worked fine, but I did a fresh install last night (and I havent updated any graphics drivers, nothing has changed since I installed it the first time). I tried it without the patches - nothing. I tried it with the 1.02 patch - black screen. So I decided to just apply all the patches I had before, to see if it would work then.

I followed this guide to the tee:- http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=6238.0

Which is absolutely ridiculous. I went to the new game option and skipped the "non-existant" opening movie. I can hardly read the dialogue in-game because there are kinda green boxes everywhere? Hard to explain. And also cloud runs EXTREMELY fast XD.

I tried disabling truemotion in ffdshow as is recommended with the k-lite codec pack, I tried uninstalling the truemotion codec, then reinstalling with the "upside-down movie patch" which worked on my old comp but not on this one, I also tried installing the "upside down movie patch" on its own. Nothing works!

Can someone help?
