General Discussion / Modding the orginal Windows 98 release?

« on: 2023-10-11 20:46:22 »

while i know its better to be using the recent re-releases + 7th heaven, is it still possible to "easily" mod the orginal release by Eidos for windows 9x? i restored n old Gateway tower and im restoring it game wise to what i played back in that time peroid.

wha would i use on the old Windows 9X version plugin wise to enable mods? is there a mod manger that works under 9x or under 9x w/ KernelEX?

7th Heaven / converting Bootleg setup to 7th Heaven, or not even needed?

« on: 2015-04-25 06:57:53 »

some time back before i switched to using Windows 8.1 i simply went w/ the somewhat older bootleg tut to setup and convert the Steam release so i can install mods (w/ Bootleg). i have no idea why i put down the game if it was crash related bugs or else-wise, but for awhile i left it alone.

i decided to pick up FF7 again the otherday went thru everything and no real issue other than i notice somethings are just out of date (i see in the long period of no updates to bootleg came along 7th heaven being what looks similar to NMM/MO for Skyrim.) being 7th is around now, its the new way of managing and installing mods, aali's driver's updated. a few updates to the OSTRemastered soundtrack, and the spares things.

is it easy to convert a bootleg setup for 7th heaven? or can the same mods be used in 7th heaven? or would for now just keeping my current setup w/ a bootleg config w/ just an updated aali's driver be sufficient on Windows 8.1? (if matters in if things would be ok as is, specs are AMD FX 4100 cpu [stock 3.6ghz speed]/8gb ddr3-1333 ram/gtx 760 OC[2gb ram]) (i mostly did texture mods (models/enemy/field), MenuOverhaul/TeamAvalanche GUI/OSTRe and Aeris Revival)

call me a blunder-head or blind for missing something or stupid if im just not seeing something about 7th heaven, but w/ it new to me feels that it'll be abit to get used to it  where im just familar w/ using Bootleg.

Troubleshooting / controll issues (cannot use D-Pad)

« on: 2014-04-02 04:07:24 »

normal 2012/Steam i can use it no prob(well 2012 i haveto use Xpadder/Joy2Key to map arrow keys.) but after a Bootleg install, even if say i map arrow/numpad still wont respond (as if game knows theres the "point of view hat" [as Win7 calls it.] and stopping input )

just makes menu navigation a lil irritating when the analog left stick of a 360 controller is too sensitive for that.

any way to fix that?

Graphical / Graphic updates for Steam vers?

« on: 2014-03-30 05:56:18 »

i know that teh steam vers is pretty much the 2012 re-release, but

is there any texture enhancements for higher resolutions? (i play at 1776x1000 to make it a lil easy to stream and swap to/fro chat.) like enhanced battlefeild/battle scenes? or Char Models? the only mod i've used for FF7 was the Music Remix pack. (and before this re-release, the windows XP Compatibility patch.)
