Archive / Little help with LGP Tools please?

« on: 2004-06-12 11:24:58 »

Ok, I went to Ficedula's site and downloaded the latest version of LGP Tools, as I wanted to install the hand patch. I get the archive file, unpack it, and it turns into a directory, which holds the executable file, 2 text files, and 2 BIN files. (At this point please tell me if this is correct or not)

I try to run the executable file, and it gives me this error message:

"This application has failed to start because ficedula.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

But at no point did I ever install the program to begin with, I just unpacked the archive file and there it was.

Anyone able to help me out?

General Discussion / For those who know more about FF7 than I

« on: 2004-05-31 07:21:01 »

Well, after searching the forums for this and finding nothing, I decided Id take it upon myself. Just one of those little things, but here goes...

In Junon, under the city, in the room immediately upon exiting the first elevator (where you fight the two guards who want to date the lift operator), there is a passage immediately to the right (left if you were looking through characters eyes, but I speak from 3rd person view). The first time you can see this is if you go out of your way as soon as you have free run of the city. Its guarded by a Shinra troop and a dog. When youre headed for the underwater reactor, you have to fight the troop, but the dog remains where it is. If you use the Assist button, it does acknowledge it as an exit passage from that room (red arrow), but after much trying, I have yet to find a way to pass it, the guard stops you saying it is for authorized personnel only, and once the guard is gone, the dog will still growl at you if you try.

Now to my point. Does anyone know anything about the room beyond that passage? I know there are several open ends in the game, as well as a number of things that do nothing and have no purpose. But I also know several of you here have more knowledge of reading the game files than I. If anyone either 1) knows what area Im refering to and knows something I dont, or 2) can read the game files and figure out what is beyond that passage, or if anything is at all, it would be much appreciated if you would be so kind as to tell me. If I need to clarify anything please tell me. Thank you all in advance!  

Edit: Spelling, 2:24 am, go figure, haha.

General Discussion / Ok, call me stubid but....

Ok, maybe I'm a complete moron, but I got somethin of a problem. Recently I got FF8 for the PC, I'd only played it on PS before. But I've played it a good bit lately, and I've found somethin of a problem. There's no option to exit the game! In FF7 it was conviently placed in the menu right below the Save option, but it's not there in FF8. So far I've been Ctrl+Alt+Del-ing to the task manager and closing it that way, but that gets old, plus its not exactly the best way to close running programs, but it's all I can do right now. If anyone knows anything, if there's a Quit option somewhere, if there's a button combination to press, or if there just isn't a Quit option, please tell me. I just want to know if I'm just confused or if I'm a moron of if anyone else has run into this. Thanks much in advance.

Archive / Another FF7 Crash (but this one I didnt find discussed here

« on: 2004-04-22 00:04:34 »

Ok, I've been browsing these forums for about an hour and have yet to see anyone mention the problem I'm having, so here goes....

System specs:
Windows XP Pro
Pentium 4 2.66 ghz
512 mb RAM
nVidia GeForce2 32mb

Now for the problem, I got the Chocobo patch, and got past the races just fine and dandy. Now I'm on disc 2 and ran into another problem, this one I haven't seen mentioned here or on Eidos' site or anywhere else. I'm at the submarine mini-game now, and when it goes to load the mini-game, it crashes just like it would at the races. Now I'm stuck and can't get any further. Someone help please, or at least tell me if you've had this same problem.

You can reach me by e-mail at [email protected] (which also doubles as my address for MSN Messenger), on Yahoo as hundreddeadsaviors, and on AIM as Failed_Messiah99. Someone please help....
