[FF7PC]FF7 SYW "ArkTsukiVock" (v4) upscale : Battle, world map, fields, videos

[hasteroth]

Not my mod related, but as Reuinon use png, there is memory issues with textures mods witch can crash the game or corrupt textures

is it possible to use DDS with FFNx somehow while still running Reunion?

[satsuki]

Not ATM
Reunion need to move from aali to ffnx for that

[Asherdoom]

excuse me for my ignorance...  how can i use these textures with 7th 2.0? if i use the package will it overwrite my current 7h mods and stuff?
can someone toss me an help please?

[Barachiel]

It has an Installer program.  Point the installer to the directory 7th Heaven mods are stored in (usually "<FF7 Install Path\mods\7th Heaven\").

There should be a button labeled "create IRO using PNG".  Use that, and wait.  When its done, the next time you load 7th Heaven, it should be there.  Activate as normal.

thanks for reply gonna test it out!

Using these textures with 7H causes random crashes after battles and on screen transfers. It usually only takes 15 or 20 minutes to get a crash. Using Remako does not cause any crashes.

This is how my APP.LOG always looks after one of these crashes.

I turned all my mods off and turned them on a couple at a time until I found that it was SYW that did it. I switched SYW off and turned on Remako instead and it's fine.

could you try my mod without the "magic" part ?
because magic is realy high quality, and if you use it in png version instead of dds (with ffnx) you can get game memory overflow > crash

[Asherdoom]

sorry for bothering,. when i try extract archive it says "access denied

[satsuki]

your antivirus probably blocks it

[Asherdoom]

your antivirus probably blocks it

i got no antivirus buddy installed and windows defender is down

[orichalcon]

winrar may very well be able to open .7z files, but have you tried using 7zip?

this is what looks like th heaven after i imported the field texture only is it sttled as it should be? or in your opinion something conflict?

[Poonaroon]

I just installed this and it works fine without the upscaled movies, but when I add those the music won't play, except during movies. I'm not sure why it would do that unless it's Steam reacting somehow to its files being replaced. I could just remove the movies but is there a way to keep them and have music?

[satsuki]

So you have a software blocking it.

Hey friend, just installed this along with Reunion last night.  Works great!  But I'm also having issues with the game crashing sporadically after battles.  Here is what I've experienced so far:

- First was after a random battle in the train graveyard
- Second was after fighting the specimen in Hojo's lab (when you first meet Red XIII)
- Third time was when you fight the double robot boss battle in the elevator at Shrina HQ

The first time the screen went to the post-battle screen, but there was audio distortion and it crashed. The second time it crashed immediately after the boss disintegrated. The third time the victory fanfare played, then a black screen with audio distortion and it crashed.

Could this potentially due to the magic files and, if so, how would I go about removing that piece?  Is it a reinstall of the mod deselecting that part or is there a quicker way?  If not, any other thoughts on what it could be?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Nevermind. I see this issue is logged in the Reunion database. Should have checked that first.

Seems to have helped. I will have to play more to know for sure.

[marsrunner]

I also get no sound when using the upscaled movies. I'm playing with Reunion, so not sure if that would cause any problems.

I assume the dds format will work when Reunion is updated to R06G since its transitioned to ffxn, right?

Awesome mod, looks so much better!

[Poonaroon]

Did you delete the original movies and add the upscaled ones to the folder? That's what I did when the sound stopped working. Try reinstalling the original movies, then copy the upscaled ones and overwrite the old ones. I did it that way and the sound kept working. I don't know why overwriting instead of deleting makes a difference, but it seemed to for me at least.

[epifanii]

I'm new at this stuff, how do i install this mod withouth using 7th heaven? I mean, what's the manual way to do it? Where should I place the files, does it use aali's tool or...?

[hasterdis]

Sorry to make a a dumb question but is there a link to the IRO file to download? Not the manually pack. Thanks in advance.

I have found how to use the tool, don't put attention to the above sentence, please.

I have a question, does anyone know if is better to make an IRO file with the DDS files (FFNX driver) OR is it better to make the IRO from PNG files?

[LordUrQuan]

If you're using FFNx, then DDS all the way, and never look back

[hasterdis]

If you're using FFNx, then DDS all the way, and never look back

Thank you LordUrQuan but I tried it and all the mods I have activated before stopped working, am I doing something wrong?? Or the FFNx doesn't work with certain mods???

[LordUrQuan]

am I doing something wrong?? Or the FFNx doesn't work with certain mods???

Probably the former, but FFNx absolutely HATES the 60fps mod, so if you're trying to use that combination, kill 60fps and see if things improve.  If not, come join us on the discord and we'll figure out what's going wrong.

[satsuki]

new version 4.22:
-Removed menu mod because of too much bug with others mods
-Removed the "one iro for all part" option, was not usable with others mods
-Each mod now have is proper description, type and preview

Not improvment in mod quality, only cleaned the iro itself
