I'm happy FF8 get some attention to Square. Sadly the remaster seems to be both hit and miss. I hope mods will work on this version since modders did wonders with the 2013 release. Thanks everyone who contributed to that!

You do realize this is just a video, in like what is it Alpha state? I don't even know. I haven't really researched much about it. Which may sound odd, but in an ideal state I would have ignored my curiosity for the trailers and just awaited the games release. Whenever that will be.

It seems though that SE is using a similar battle system as XV, and why wouldn't they? Save both money and time.

The negative stuff for me was the sunglasses for Barrett, that seems really off. I know it's because it looks "cool" but still. Cloud looks a bit off maybe, I think it's hard too say since the pacing was quite fast in the trailer. But I really dislike the crouching and moving through rubble, I have done that a million times in other games I don't need it here.

Nice to see things moving! For those of us who have Tonberry and other mods installed, should we just uninstall them and reinstall this?

And speaking of csv files, it should be relatively easy to add the correct codes and make a new file?

So - just make sure you also change all of the ".png" file names to include se2 as well and not just the objmap.csv hashcodes or else Selphie won't show up.   
I ran into this same issue - and everything would be corrected if we renamed the files to ch_sqhead_13.png, etc.  If we add a suffix beforehand, we can put all of the character folders in the same place and it won't have to interfere with any other mods - this is how I handled filestructures for the worldmap.
Currently, Project Eden takes up the "se" folder and if you merge the folders, it works, but it makes it really messy - as the Selphie textures are then found intermittently in the Project Eden textures folder location.

I have changed all of the objmap codes and my .png's to include the "ch_" title and everything is nice and tidy.

I agree, I don't think you're supposed to be able to chat with them in that scene.

PS.  c*ckpit wasn't dirty until it was censored.   Now it's more fun to say than ever.

Yes, it's the Eden mod who had it I looked it up.

And you guys might be right about it isn't possible in that area, I didn't really had time to check anywhere else. Though you can talk too Quistis actually. When I have more time I will report if there was any error. But it shouldn't be since the appearances changed.

Did I mention I'm loving this? Though, I may have to change my standard party now haha.

I installed the char models for Squall, Selphie and Zell but I can't seem to speak with them. I tried this when I was at the cockpit for the Balamb Garden. The appearances did work but no way of talking to Selphie and Zell (Squall I don't know, but it doesn't matter anyway for obvious reasons).

Maybe I did something wrong, but I added the folders to the textures folder (had to rename se to se2, because another mod had se as a folders name). I replaced and changed the name of the csv file and added them manually.

Anyway great job on this!

Yes it works on Steam.

First of all you should have installed the Tonberry though or else this will not work.

Check out MCINDUS YT-channel for some vids: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLOBIu0AHQyCzP0BjCbbCg/videos

But in short it's just a matter of coyping and pasting files to the appropriate folder.

FF7 Tools / Re: [FF7PC] Mod manager - 7thHeaven (v1.36)

« on: 2014-09-08 15:47:12 »

The music folder needs another subfolder in it called vgmstream. If you used FF7_GameConverter_7H.exe, it would already be there.

Texture Memory has a drop-down menu for 256, 512, 768, and 1024 and cmh175 tested it to show that increasing it can fix glitched textures, particularly those in the menus.

Ah ok. Oh well I look into it some more in the upcoming days. Thanks for the help anyways, much appreciated .

FF7 Tools / Re: [FF7PC] Mod manager - 7thHeaven (v1.36)

« on: 2014-09-07 20:12:07 »

What settings are reverting?

Well it's the settings in the OpenGLdriver config. It said that I didn't find any music folder in my FF7 folder, so I created a (empty new) folder and now I don't get that prompt but if I open up OpenGL I see that under music I need to turn VGM on. The other one seems to be the Texture Memory which shows nothing (but I'm not sure if I need it anyway).

But that shouldn't affect any menu mods in game really.

FF7 Tools / Re: [FF7PC] Mod manager - 7thHeaven (v1.36)

« on: 2014-09-07 17:25:04 »

The only problem I seem to have left is that the 2 menu mods won't work in the game. And there is also some settings that seems to revert each time I open up 7th Heaven and it always says it cant find the music (but I can just check VGM in the settings and then start the game with audio).

Sorry about the confusion. I was actually playing/editing and typing at the same time.

I get the game to boot and work up fine now. The only problem I have left seems related to the mod menu overhaul. It looks like this when I use it:

You don't ever use FF7_en.exe or see the launcher in this process. The game is launched directly from ff7.exe.

Yeah I noticed that after some trial and error. See above post (which I've updated now).

C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\7thWorkshop

Close 7th Heaven. Go to the above path, where Erik is instead the name of your user when you login to Windows. Delete everything in the 7thWorkshop folder and open 7th Heaven. You will need to put in all your settings again.

Ok, now I can actually launch the game (after some huge trial and error haha). But somethings look weird. Like the font (text) seems weird and the ATB was really off in some graphical error way.

@Erik
The crash log should be posted on the 7th Heaven tool page.
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14490.0

First thing can you launch the game with 7th Heaven when no mod is active? We need to make first sure that the files it should replace aren't buggy. You can then start to activate mods (step by step a few). And if the error occur deactivate one of the last activated mods after another until 7H doesn't crashes anymore. This should be help to find the mod or file in the data folder which causing trouble.

Ah I see, my fault.

Actually everything works great and all with the FF7 Bootloader. I just saw this and tried it out (without knowing really what it was). And yeah got the errors then. I'll post the errors in the other thread and continue from there.
