I noticed that when I change the attack names, I cant use spaces.
For example, I wanted to change an attack name to 'no escape' its gona come out as 'no p'.. Also tried 'double crimson' and it came out 'double er'

hmm..for now the only way around this is replacing spaces with -'s. so 'no-escape'

..juz wanted to report. v.03

BTW, good job!!!

Thats the 2x stat mode from smithie. Enjoy!  

Smithie: Let me know if you decide to make changes so I can update the file.

hehe..geocities..  

[edit]

Smithie, about the Ultima Weapon issue, I forgot that you fight Ultimate Weapon several times..I was looking at scene 248..I just noticed that Ultimate Weapon is also in scenes 71-72.

« on: 2005-08-09 02:22:47 »

hehe..this 2x stat mode is CRAAAAZY!!!

I was finally able to beat airbuster! cloud lv18/barret lv17/tifa 14
Still I almost ran out of phoenix downs! Right now Im on my way to the wall market and I gotta say..the Hell House really is HELL now! Whole Eaters encountered @ sector 6 slums..well, when you encounter them in groups of 4..good luck!

What I found strange was that I leveled up a bit before airbster since it totally beat me up at previous levels and I was able to get barret's Grenade Bomb before the airbster boss fight.

And currently, Im at cloud's lv2 limit with blade beam and climhazzard and i havent even been to the wall market..still leveling up. Currently, cloud lv18 and aeris lv14.

Enemies are Insane!!! Theyre sooo FAST and hit HARD! I am sooo loving this !!!   :wicked:  :wicked:  :wicked:

err...my mistake..i havent played ff8 in 3 years..i thought it was before the timber mission. All i remember was that it had to deal with cards..but yea you need the dragon fangs and when you fight the grendels you cant be past lv20(i think) for them to drop dragon fangs..and yep, you do need the minotaur card for the adamantine.

yea i think jenova was easy too..2 summons, continuous level 2 attack magic and limit breaks every 2-3 turns..beat rush 2/2 alone owned jenova.

w8, so you dont have the movies in your hard drive yet?

I really suggest you put em in there since it makes the movies run so mch smoother.

AS for the corrupt file just copy biglight.avi from your cd and that should do it..

ff7:Getting all the limit breaks up to 3/2 early on during the Mythril cave before junon?  All the characters (except caith,vince,and cid) can get their limits p to 3/2 so early in the game..what ya'll think about that?

ff8:Getting the lionheart weapon before the first mission at timber..how bout that?

Thats some nice work there elentor! I understand as to why you cant update and thats perfectly understandable. Everyone has a life they need to attend to. But yea, good luck with the 3d stuff and hope to d/l an update soon! I should also thank you very much for making this hardcore scene.bin because its what got me to pick up ff7 after years of eating dust. I love the challenge!

btw, excellent job with the zolom..and also, heli gunner is too weak..bolts totally pwned him. Increase the hp of some monsters in the mythril cave too..other than that, its all good! thanks again!!

Archive / Cant get past green dragon!!

« on: 2005-07-28 10:53:00 »

Thanks for your help guys.Im past it already!
All i did was use jenova to get 10 stardust..and i used it on the dragon with cloud (somehow he was now able to target both the dragon and seph) after a few comet2's it died..had to constantly wait for seph to revive cloud though..

As for the hardcore scene.bin being the cause..i dont think so since i replaced it w/ the orig scene.bin and seph always missed and never bothered to use anything but attack and life2.

I seriously dont know what caused seph to constantly miss but i hope nothing like that happens again throughout the game..im just glad i got past it already. once again, thanks for the help guys~!

the part where you get the flashback of cloud and sephy at kalm and you guys hafta fight the green dragon..we'll cloud always dies and cannot even target anything but himself, and sephy cannot even attack the dragon..he always misses! I was using the hardcore scene.bin, but i replaced it with the orig just to get past this part, but still..sephy always misses.. Also, I edited sephy's stats with jenova making it all 255, but it wont save the stats..so he's stuck at lv.50 with 80 str..etc..i dont know whats up..all i know is that i cannot get past this part so can anybody please help? thank you very much!

i got something to report:

when the party first arrives at kalm and cloud has that flashback with sephy and they hafta fight the green dragon..we'll for some reason, cloud is unable to target the dragon nor sephy..only himself..and he always misses..and he dies in one hit from the dragon having only 100+ hp and the dragon dealing 400+ each time..so basically, cloud dies, and sephy CANNOT even damage the dragon! its always a miss..sephy dosent die though..always 0 damage on him..and occasionally he ses Life2 on cloud.but basically, its a never ending cycle of flamethrower and miss..

I used jenova to raise sephy's stats but still the dragon evades it all the time..the only solution for now is to replace the hardcore scene.bin with the original scene.bin for that part.

[edit] scratch that..replaced the hardcore scene w/ the orig..still same problem..hmm..[/edit]

the music works fine. Problem is, some of the sounds wont play..like for example, when i hit limit break, sometimes i hear the sound when the character has the red wave thing around him/her..bt when he/she's attacking, its complete silence..i just beat the hardcore airbuster boss and most of his attacks except rear gunner had sounds...

Greetings to all of you!! :

Naitguolf, I definitely agree! Its true, square-enix may not even plan on a remake, but thats ok.
Its now possible to improve the character models..even the npcs..The music can be improved. The enemy stats and etc. can be changed. There is now a 'Hardcore' version..Even the game text/dialogue can be altered.a somewhat totally different experience. It's just gona keep growing. Sooner or later, the backgrounds will be able to be replaced by better quality bg's. Maybe the limit breaks cold be editted. Maybe add new monsters??? New weapons..theres so many things to do. But it can only be taken as far as a MOD can. We cant alter the storyline..or make new FMV's..but still..people here are able to keep this game alive, and i thank you all!!!
