To everybody: I cannot keep up and manage this thread and the big list anymore. My father is dying. I'm devastated and watching over him day and night.

I'm posting a link to it down here. I wanted to sort it out better and I still have lots of sources to look at for bug-hunting, but this will have to do as is for now,
so that if some people want to deal with some red entries, they can do before my come back already. If you find any fix, please see that with DLPB (thanks Dan).

WIP / [FF7PC-98] The Big Bug List (OLD)

O.P. will be edited later.

This thread is dead. Go here instead. ~Covarr

When trying to discard materia, you cannot quick nav with L1/R1 like all other menus.  This is a pain because the list can be very lengthy.

That was on my 'to-mention' list. I was even thinking it could be a bug/an oversight in fact.

@WatashiWaZero and others: Please use my PM box instead of this thread for submitting bugs for which you know they're not related to The Reunion, thanks. Until I can open and manage a new thread for that.

I'm still passing through a rough time of my life, but I'm still nearby.
Just lacking free time and an available mind, but every bug mentioned in here will make it to the big list for sure; I'll go through all the last pages of this thread that need to, even before R05.

The list also needs better sorting and reorganisation, that will be taken care of when I can as well. Then it'll be a good time to open a thread about that list, for people to submit new bugs and even fixes.
There are also still a lot of (trusty) sources I need to explore to come up with more bugs. But again.. for when I can.

For the moment I'm going through each field to catch faulty pixels and such anomalies, so that'll be out of the way.
I've also noted down a few inconsistencies so far, when comparing some fields together. Like..
On your way from the 69th floor to the 70th, the staircase is a blood mess. Looking at them from the 70th floor now, the stairs are clean and lovely ^_^ That kind of quirks. I have already a few like this.

Is it your monitor that tells "Not responding"?  like if it was disconnected from your graphic card and getting no signal?
It has to do with the fresh reinstall.

What I can think of:
-Faulty driver from nVidia, which you weren't using before reinstall. But you said you've tried previous versions.
-Some driver setting that your monitor doesn't like, which was correctly on/off prior to reinstall.
-Maybe you had special driver settings for those applications (FF7/8/epsxe) and now they're following the global settings.
-Maybe your card-monitor wire is the culprit?
-If you can, try some other port from your card/on your monitor, if you have a corresponding wire.
-Maybe updating to a newer bios version (if there's one) would be good? (but you know, beware, don't brick your board..)

Also, get in touch with nVidia and/or your monitor manufacturer tech service.

I agree.
Here's what I come up with. It's balanced.
Each number represents the %age of handicap. For the best, we can assume that the handicap from a big hill = from water = from space (the only change is which colour(s) will be unaffected).

small Hill         Gold&Black:0   Green:0   Blue:25  others:25
big Hill            Gold&Black:0   Green:0   Blue:50  others:50
Water              Gold&Black:0   Green:50  Blue:0   others:50
Water+smallH  Gold&Black:0   Green:50  Blue:25  others:75
Space              Gold&Black:0   Green:50  Blue:50  others:50
Space+smallH  Gold&Black:0   Green:50  Blue:75  others:75


Big hills are the ones like in the spiral, in opposition to the slighter slopes.

I had the same thought for a moment, technically  space is not water, and maybe space was meant to favour Blacks and Golds only, or even just Golds only.
Like:
Blue's strength: Water..  Green's: Hills..  Black's: Water and Hills..  Gold: Water, Hills and Space.

Green is already a better choice than Blue overall for racing (more hills than water), and with space not being water, it'll be even more true.

So what will this mean from a player's pov..
Do I choose the short course? Nope, I have no Gold Chocobo yet. So, the long course where we have water.. but more hills than water..
So we'll end up always choosing the long course with a Green Chocobo. Then later, always the long course with a Black.
Then bingo I've got my Gold, it's finally become a thing to choose the short course.

I'm not saying it's especially a bad thing.
The only thing I find meh, is to unbalance even more Green/Blue, but the unbalance has more to do with both tracks being often hilly, and that's the original game.

Gameplay / Re: [FF7PC] Battle Solo
« on: 2016-08-25 03:05:39 »
You could edit who's in your party with Ochu (changes done on-the-fly) or with Black Chocobo (editing of the save file).
But that can lead to the game crashing when at certain moments other members are required on the field.

11
No nothing, I've tried many times and several things (mainly never exiting the field after pick up) and it never showed up twice.
I've also tried tapping [OK] where Cloud is off screen.

12
Yes I used Ochu, I was in Wall Market (1st time you get there, as male Cloud) then warped to the World Map at Bone Village, entered it and went to that field in the forest
-access isn't denied without the harp, it's just that that screen will repeat forever when exiting north-  but I will try with the Lunar Harp acquired, and within a better Game Moment.
And yes, I collected Kujata, closed "Obtained..." window, then didn't touch any direction anymore, didn't enter the menu either.
Will try again now

13
Seems to me that infinite Kujata materia can be picked up.  Anyone willing to test with original game?  If I am right, once you collect the materia - if you stay on the current field and wait, it should reappear to be collected again.  This is because one of its scripts cycles and makes it visible again. The script won't be called if you collect - leave - then reenter.  I am not sure how PSX handles this, but it should be same there too.

I have fixed it regardless.

Just tested and didn't happen for me.
Stayed there for 15min with field FPS cranked up, I've been hitting [OK] numerous times in case it was there but invisible.
Vanilla game, Game Moment was at a low value, no Lunar Harp.

Maybe has to do with your previous correction about Kujata being destroyed if inventory is full?

The explanation about his gun's fire flashing in dark places makes sense in the real world, but that's no video game consideration, it's just too far-fetched.
Then what, we'd have that degree of realism, along with a damaged little plane roaming the seas and Chocobos with belly buttons?

And what if Barrett faces Rude? haha.. But you could argue that if they're all jumping all over the place, their sunglasses won't have much room to draw much attention (like a lot more things).

And his one-on-one with Dyne.. Okay I'm in a junkyard in the middle of the desert, trying desperately to settle what results from a major issue from my past.. but that doesn't mean I don't have to stay classy and cool heh
naa  kinda kills it for me, although he might already have dropped the glasses already up to that point.

IMO it's just not his character. That's more fucking Rude. When I think Barrett, I think tough life, scars, passionate, generous, flaring up, low-brow, concrete;  but no way cool, classy, stable, self-retained, "don't worry bro", "I hide behind something"
He'd find those ridiculous on his face, as I do, and would never give 10 Gils for such a thing  x)

For me  that's a sign they got the character wrong (or changed him deliberately), and that's no detail and assuredly something one can pick on about.

I read somewhere that Prowse's relationship with Lucas was bad. He had given spoilers away about The Empire strikes back while the movie was being shot.
It is said that, since Lucas then did not trust him anymore, Vader's line in the script became "I killed your father" and that it's the line Prowse did play, and no one knew about the real line, not even Hamill.
If I recall well, that's from an interview with someone from the staff I saw on yt. Being given wrong text, being re-dubbed, not being Vader's face when he is unmasked, all that had pissed him off.

I didn't realise the voice of J.E. Jones is a bit pitched for Vader's voice. In French his voice is even deeper.

And yeah, no Darth Vader around here, it's Dark Vador  -_-

Pram/Param Nut  [Possibly Plum in Maori]  Paramu Nut

"Plume" is the French word for "feather".

It sure is word salad with the idea of amalgamation of words, just like the current cu(lex) + (e)vil + 'unknown'
But I'm well aware my researches are rather naive x) I'm trying to throw ideas.

I googled "ヌス" and in the images there's a lot of this:

Nothing to do with Kyuvilduns I guess.
ヘラクレス   エクアトリアヌス
(Hercules) (ecuatorianus)
from the Dynastes genus / ヘラクレスオオカブト属

I've spoken to Lusky again and, basically, it is VERY VERY unlikely to be that.  Even if it sounds similar.  The kana is wrong and this is also too obscure a reference.   :-D Sorry.  :-P

Haha, no biggie, I jumped too quickly onto the dance floor


Our guy: キュビルデュヌス

キュ / kiyu --> cue? (long straight wooden rod used in snooker, billiards, etc), fits his nose

ビル --> (e)vil

デュ / deyu --> diu, means "long" in Latin (but in the temporal sense..). "Diu" means also "by day", "diurnal".

ヌス / nusu --> nusu for "nose"?

..long evil cue for a nose


With kana swapping:
cue +
ビルデ --> デビル: that's "devil".
ヌス --> スヌ: that's "snoop"? (google says)
..snoopy cue of the devil

But cue makes sense though

I'm biased for sure, but I definitely have that gut feeling. I mean, for me, it could really have been spelled based on pronounciation, but the way *they* would pronounce a Belgian word with an English accent, back in 96-97.
The word may have had its structure a bit damaged/changed that way in the translation to Japanese process, that's very possible. It's not like we're translating the work of persons of letters.
cu - bir / ber - duns / dons (from initial plural form), is really how they could have pronounced it, and it definitely rings the bell of good sense in my book.
There's too much resemblance and several hints pointing towards it.
Sure there may be a more correct Japanese spelling for the word "cuberdon", but here we are talking about French, English, Belgian and Japanese, in 1997.. it's no surprise if the word has quirks.
But it doesn't have to cover up what, to me, is almost obviousness.

21
Yaaayyyy. I'm all happiness  x)
It needed another Belgian to unmask him

22
OMG  Dan I'm pretty sure I've cornered that little bastard

We can agree Cuvilduns can easily be something like Cubirduns. I'm convinced we have it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuberdon

cone-shaped
it is also known as a neus (nose)
The outside is relatively hard, whereas the inside is gelatinous




Dling dling dling dling dliiiing!

Now just tell me you agree there are Belgians at Mt. Nibl.
That candy is rather well known in other countries around the globe.

"Wake up!" line has not entirely disappeared when we've scrolled down to "This is more than a reactor.".

And just checking.. "Press O in front of a ladder to grab on to it."
on to / onto ?

Yes right, it was tonysonico, my bad.

@Sega Chief: I didn't know you could animate them there.
Yeah obviously the FMV failed to load, I think you're right about a probable disc failure. I delete that entry.

The other bug about characters disappearing in the PC version is already there and has been corrected by Dan, but thanks for mentioning.
(the heck with the upside down giant feet lol)

@DynamixDJ: Hey thanks, I've added some others yes, but recently it was mainly Dan.
