Well, when I download your patch.bat file, there is no option that says "Save As". I don't think Vista has that option (since I'm using Vista-64 bit). Just shows an option of what program to open it with.
well what internet browser are you using? a setting may have been changed at some point (or even just installed a bit off, as things tend to do in vista per my experience... vista is full of holes), so check your browser's options and see if you can set everything to the default, or can easily see anything that would prevent saving. having vista doesn't make things very easy to begin with, i will be with xp until they make another half decent OS that doesn't crash more than ffvii pc before the modders got to it
.
and sl1982, are you doing all of the magic in acquisition order (i.e. the fire/ice/bolt/cure magics, then whichever materia comes next in line), or just at random? it may be easier to just go through the tex files alphabetically rather than chronological game order, because that way you don't accidentally skip a spell or so
. then again, if you are keeping track of all the magic you do, and what is needed, either way works
