The APZ Cloud Project!!!!

[terminater27]

Well, so far, I've installed the 1.02 patch.
Next I got the Saint's higher resolution working.
For the next step should i apply this mod first?
Or apply the FF7-PRP mod first?

[Hellbringer616]

This mod is in the battle.lgp the others are in the field, so it doesn't matter the order.

just extract your battle.lgp with lgptools

then move these files to the folder you extracted the files too. then create a new lgp named battle.lgp with lgptools.

replace your old battle.lgp (i'd make a backup) then you're good to go.

I can't create working battle.lgp file with LGPtools.

This is what I do and what happens
1. Start LGPtools and open battle.lgp
2. Extr. All to .../somerandomfolder
3. Click 'Create' -> Select .../somerandomfolder -> select name and wait -> Replace orginal battle.lgp with just the one I just created.
4. Start game -> Find ramdom encounter-> -> Crash!

I have been thinking lately... This is just if people don't like the Chibi (which i do.. I think its a amazing ) 

But isn't it possible to do that thing they did in the Reunion patch... Take the battle model, and scale it down in kimera and then save it as the field model??? Or am i way off base?

4. Start game -> Find ramdom encounter-> -> Crash!

When I compared orginal and modified battle.lgp files with lgptool I noticed that file order was different.
Example.
Orginal:
1 aaab
2 aaam
3 aada
4 aaaa
5 abab
6 abam
7 abaa
...
Modified:
1 aaaa
2 aaab
3 aaam
4 aada
5 abaa
6 abab
7 abam
...

How can I fix this?

[BrokenCrowe (Mendelevium)]

Hey APZ.. if you are re-making the field model of Cloud.. are you re-making him when he dresses like a girl too???


And again your work is absolutely amazing.

Thank you,
Broken Crow

Hey APZ, I've got a couple of nice screenshots of the battle model at 4x FSAA that I figure would look nice in your screenshot collage:





However, since I'm more of a sound guy than a photo/video guy, I think I should leave any image cropping to you.

-edit-
Forgot to add the link to the actual second picture. I had the first one linked twice.  Doh!

[birdparade]

APZ I would just like to continue cheering you on. You have done so much! Please keep at it!

Anyone go any idea?
Either how to get LGPtools to work or some alternative program.

Lovely screenies! that buster sword is also great! A darn shame you'll have to replace the sword... I would like it to be the ultimate sword too.
Also, where did that vincent model come from? I looks pretty good too

That buster sword is probably one of the greatest moddels I have seen here....

Indeed

WallMarket should be able to help you out there. Change the weapon model ID for Ultima Weapon to the one for the Buster Sword and hopefully it should work (i.e. from F8FF0F to F8FF00), and the Buster Sword model will appear when you have Ultima Weapon equipped.

Thank you.  I had another shot of his model in the middle of the spellcast animation, but it came out looking like he was, like, pelvic thrusting or something.

Anyway, that Vincent model is the stock model that comes with the game -- hence the lols you're getting from others.  I must have shot his good side.

oh noes!!! I feel so ashamed... well not really.. but I guess it was a rather silly comment 

[Viashino]

nice work apz like i said give some thought to my offer thats all ill say for now. very nice work.

[apz freak]

He Blinks!



I would say his lips are a tad too big. But seeing as though you rarely see him this close, it's not that big a deal!

[moses7]

Yaayyy Previews. I can't wait.

No, I mean I can.

Yah, the lip is kinda big. Maybe an anime like lip ( just a drawn line)  would fit rather than the complete 3D lip. It kinda makes his expression look weird, over all it's nice.
Yah, no big deal.

This is very nice! Yeah, lips should be shortened a bit. They look like they have been injected or something...

Thanks for your hard work, and keep going!

There's some very good stuff there, but the head doesn't seem to fit well with the body. From that screenshot, it looks like he needs more of a neck.

And can anything be done about the arms? When he had the huge blocky forearms, the way he stood looked natural and relaxed, but with more realistic shaped arms, it looks like he's holding them out at an awkward angle.

But as I said, it's still some good work

His neck is hidden with the round collar of his shirt. It's really like that.
If he makes his arms realistic it will look more like the NPC Reconstruction and will make it look bad when he walks.
The Chibi body is supposed to be like that. He just made it detailed.

[knight1120]

i think there is no problem in the head and neck, the problem is in the "shoulder"! 

[moses7]

Yeah it's kinda big but that's the Chibi model's features. I think if you trim the shoulders or make the elbow part larger. It won't be proportional to the Chibi's a lil' bit big head. But like some anime's the head is meant to be bigger.

It's just like the original Chibi. Just much more detailed.

Just my thoughts though.

[polaris_027]

i think...

that its beautiful, perfect(IMO)

and

is ready to be released!

eh apz?
