Solved Problems / Re: FF7 freezes in first battle

i dont know, try reinstalling the game without all those outdated mods and then add things one by one testing if they work before moving on to the next mod.

you don't ask a magician how the tricks work, right?

in a way i feel like learning what it is you've got with a mod and how to implement it is some sort of right of passage.

i think the general feeling about it on development side around here is something like: "no one reads those readme files, anyway" and i'm sure they're mostly correct.

Troubleshooting / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.10b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

« on: 2011-05-10 17:23:33 »

Well, all Catalyst versions from 7.12 and above have broken OGL support for legacy videocards.
As examples: Anachronox (glass blending, sendormintory fog etc).
So - use 7.11 or install 10.2 then replace opengl dlls (atioglxx.dll, atioglx2.dll, atiok3x2.dll) in the safe mode.

came across this advice for old ATI graphics card owners. Which opengl dlls should we be replacing those files WITH?
I've been using 7.09b because the current legacy ati drivers conflict with 7.10

Solved Problems / Re: q: can ff7 restart?

lol, brilliant!

many thanks; works like a charm

seems like this function would be a great addition to a certain upcoming menu reconstruction release

my OCD would prefer not having another process running purely for this function

the border of the window, i much prefer full screen mode

im trying to track down the utility you mentioned kranmer's loader, but being distracted by other interesting mods hes worked on lol

oh, the anycd is what you were referring to, im guessing; well, that's really useful too, but i would really like to be able to go from any point in the game directly to the new game/continue screen. this is basically when i realize i forgot something while im watching a cutscene or in battle and want to reload from a savegame quickly.

that's an easy fix ;p need to run regedit and modify the movie path setting for the FF7 registry. The path is the place on your hard drive where you installed this movie pack, by default the game will play the avis off the CDs. You'll also find you need an eidoslogo.avi file in that directory since the pack doesnt actually come with one. if they work for you, im jealous, cus the quality is unbelievable compared to orig. I'm working on getting these files to play in game myself, no luck so far.
some of the files provided by Trojak in a different thread do work for me, including a nice opening.avi
anyway, good luck

This is one of the coolest projects I've seen since stumbling on this whole ff7pc mod community this past week. I am absolutely astounded at the quality you've produced and just the fact that these things can be done at all. Godspeed.

I really like the look on these
I woulda never found them but I cant get the recent full set of FMVs out on the forum to work. Interestingly, these do-and they look really wonderful compared to what im used to. thanks!

-actually, on further review the opening works and some of the other videos do not ;p doing further testing for lack of something better to do.

yah, took me a little while to figure that out but, unfortunately it doesnt make these videos play in game ;(
i wonder if its a setting from opengl config or not. Somehow i suspect if i had windows 7 wouldnt be having this issue. If anyone with XP is able to use these FMVs please lemme know :p

This is the one mod I cannot get to work. Ive rebuilt ff7 5+ times now in last few days, but the videos will not run for me.
