« on: 2019-08-29 14:01:17 »Thank you! It fixed it. However it does mess up the resolution so that the game isnt fully displayedPost up your ff7_opengl.cfg file and a screenshot... could be either wonky resolution settings or a DPI issue.

7th Heaven / Re: Slow loading on world Map
« on: 2019-08-28 12:29:43 »So I guess I must delete those entries anytime I start the game. Thanks a lot man!Only when things get annoyingly slow. It doesn't actually hurt anything, just makes the program cycle through those folders once for each time they're listed.

In the compatibility settings of ff7.exe, enable the tick box for "Run in 640x480"
And turn off "Check for updates" (not related to your problem, but it'll cause others)

In your 7H config window, make sure that the direct and music folders are only listed once each. There's a bug in some of the 1.56 builds where they get duplicated on start, and that'll bog your system down something ugly.

Your load order is all messed up, and I have a feeling you have ff7.exe as your executable instead of ff7_bc.exe

DLPB - Able to replicate on my bare metal R05c install with 60fps enabled, but it's not Neo Bahamut with the issue, it's Bahamut ZERO. Some flickering at the start of the summon, some of the mid-summon visuals missing, but nothing game-breaking. Remako is NOT installed on my system.

No. It's actually stepped back a little bit and away from all the buggy RC releases. When there's a real and well-tested update, you can be sure we'll throw a party

« on: 2019-08-23 14:47:44 »I went by this one https://captrobau.blogspot.com/p/install-guide-ff7-mod-manager.html and I somehow ended up on this forum in its troubleshooting link. I got everything working now. But I'm not sure if I can take away the remako files and replace them with the ones in the guide you guys have on here.Sure you can. On the library tab, just right click the green 'Installed' button and choose uninstall. Then download the ones from here and import as EQ2Alyza said earlier today

Our ability to help is going to be somewhat limited since you're not using the 1.02 english ff7.exe. However, this line did stand out to me:
Quote
INFO: Original resolution 640x480, window size 1280x800, output resolution 1066x800, internal resolution 1280x960Those are some pretty funky numbers... it's generally best to leave the internal resolution at default (3840x2160), and your output window is larger than your output resolution (1280x window compared to 1066x resolution). If you could describe what you're trying to do, and a copy of your ff7_opengl.cfg, we might be able to at least eliminate that as the cause of your troubles.

7th Heaven / Re: Error! please help!
« on: 2019-08-17 21:09:31 »I have the exact same error as OP. Where do I set the compatibility flag you mention? I'm new to the mod or FF7 modding in general...Compatibility flags are accessed by right-clicking on the ff7.exe (or ff7_bc.exe, or whatever exe you're using) file, then selecting 'Properties'. Compatibility is the second (on Win10) tab option.

And please note that we didn't come up with Remako... CaptRobau kind of just threw some beta shots up here, said "check this out!" and left. Whatever guide you're following wasn't written by us.

« on: 2019-08-14 18:34:38 »Shame, was trying to keep things consistent since not everyone has a cmh model. Thanks for the help!If you want to keep everything consistent, consider downloading the ninostyle pack. You can pull that, along with a bunch of other significantly updated mods from Strife's Mods of the Round supplemental subscription while EQ2Alyza works on catalog v3.

A "movies" folder has been placed into the data folder of your game directory...
TYPE the path to this "movies" folder, then press ENTER.
EXAMPLE: "C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\data\movies" (parenthesis included)
MOVIEPATH NOT FOUND.
It may have been typed incorrectly...
Using "C:\Games\Final Fantasy 7\movies" instead...
Movies not found...
If custom Movies are located somewhere, change the "MoviePath" Registry Key entry at:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII
Movies path found at...
"C:\Games\Final Fantasy 7\movies\"
Rerun the converter, selecting overwrite, and when it asks for your movies path,
Code: [Select]
"C:\Games\Final Fantasy 7\data\movies\"including the quotation marks. I'm guessing you forgot those the first time you ran it.

Well, keep at the very least "direct mode = on"... that's flat out required. Post up ..\Final Fantasy VII\FF7_GC.log, wondering if your movies key was set incorrectly

preserve_aspect = on
You may need to change this to off... not all chip sets handle resizing gracefully. If you do, I would also suggest switching to windowed mode (fullscreen = off) and manually setting window_size_x and _y to a 4:3 ratio (Here's a good chart to pick from)
compress_textures = yes
Suggest using no instead... compression is not lossless, and unless you're starved for VRAM, not worth the bother
direct_mode = off
This MUST be set to on for nearly any graphical mod to work properly with the current architecture (wasn't always this way, and efforts are being made to go back, but for now....)

In your general settings, uncheck 'bypass compatibility locks' (they're there for your protection), and in the "Extra Folders" box, change your second instance of 'music' to 'direct'.
