sm0knpurp:
Im currently in the process of getting the FF7 game for my PC and was looking over the mods because they sounded interesting and came across a problem:

There seems to be a TON of them out there.

Therefore, I was wondering if I could get some help.  I looked through the wiki but it doesn't seem to have as many listed as I believe there are.  Could I get people to list any known mods they know that work and that enhance the game's experience (i.e. NPC reconstruction).  Just the name of the mods would be great (although a link would be even better).  There just seems to be so many topics it would take ages to go through and find the ones I want.

Also, from what I read I need the Ficedula LGPTools to apply these (correct?).  If so could I get a link as to where to find that?

Please and Thanks

Definitely Get:
Aali's Custom Graphics Driver - Allows for playing the game in higher resolutions than 640x480, as well as generally improves the game's performance.

Strongly Consider:
FF7Music - Replace the crap default MIDI music with the original Playstation version music, or MP3s of your choice. The link is to a tutorial I made (shameless self-promotion), because the software is notoriously difficult to get working properly.
Phoenix Rejuvenation Patch - Replaces most of the 3D models in the game with better looking ones. I don't use it, because I like the chibi/SD style, but worth checking out. It deprecates the NPC Reconstruction patch.
APZ Cloud - Absolutely gorgeous.

Not finished, but keep an eye on it:
Team Avalanche's 2D Overhaul - Replaces text, as well as any 2D elements that stand alone and are not applied to 3D objects. There's a prerelease now, that has all the text finished and some magic.

Welcome to qhimm's forums!

The wiki doesn't have a list of mods. It does have tools and patches for you to make your own mods, though.

Ficedula's website is here: http://www.ficedula.co.uk/

He's got a lot of tools. LGPtools is one of the mainly needed ones, but it might be obsoleted soon if Aali continues work on his extractor/compressor.

Most non-graphical mods will edit the flevel.lgp, scene.bin and/or KERNEL.bin/kernel2.bin files (Squall78 and I dominate these files in terms of editors). The graphical ones will likely modify char.lgp and/or magic.lgp. Character portraits are in the menu_xx.lgp file (depending on your language).

Definitely check out dziugo's YAMP and look for my MDef fix on page 7 of that topic.

I'd put gjoerulv's hardcore mod in the "strongly consider" bit as well. A lot of people found FF7 too easy and it certainly enhances the game experience; much more so than the graphics mods.
