Hello! Finally at the end game here farming for ultimate weapons and noticing I don't have Morph at all. I read through a bunch of pages and it sounds like it was somewhere in the early game. I played on the wrong .exe until about Fort Condor, so that might explain why I missed it. Is there anywhere I can find one at this point in the game?
Morph was sitting in the garden next to Aeris' house, so it should still be obtainable (unless playing on a different version/vanilla and grabbed Cover from there instead).
Hi Sega Chief,
I extracted your mod with IroNite tool. I noticed there is a folder named "hext" in unpacked folder. What files and values do i need to change, to have materia equip effect that i would like to play. For example, i want materia equip effect like Master Magic gives +70 to all stats (strength, vit, mag, spi, dex, luck) and max hp +10%, max MP +20%. Do i need to change for all 4 txt in hext folder? Or just files that ff7 exe file that i want to play with mod setting in 7H (ff7_bc.exe)?
You only need to change the file that targets your intended .exe (the listed exe is at the top of the file; there's one for ff7.exe, ff7_en.exe (steam), ff7_bc.exe, and ff7_mo.exe). There should be a block of addresses toward the end of the file, each with 16 bytes. The first byte is the stat value, the second byte is a modifer for positive/negative (00 if it's positive, FF if it's negative). The stat value is signed, so the max range is 127 positive/negative (but it's advised to avoid 3-digit values as they won't appear correctly in the menu).
This is an example (70 in each stat, 10%HP, 20%MP:
[Offset] = 46 00 46 00 46 00 46 00 46 00 46 00 0A 00 14 00
That makes: 70 Strength, 70 Vitality, 70 Magic, 70 Spirit, 70 Dexterity, 70 Luck, 10%HP, and 20%MP in that order.
Thing is though, each Materia has a byte set to it for which set of bonuses/penalties it uses. So what to do is, change the last offset to match the values I posted above and then set Master Magic in the kernel to use the same bonus/penalty set as KOTR.
Sega chief! i posted on one of your you tube videos about this issue, figure id put it on here and ask again. The sp level up system for me was giving +5 stat boosts per use. Just wondering if this has been fixed at all? anybody else have this issue playing nt mod?
The older .exes for NT set it up so that sources would give +5 per use instead of +1; this was recently removed as it meant trouble if the .exe failed to patch and could leave players heavily under-statted. If using 7h you need to get some vanilla .exes as the IRO now patches in .exe changes automatically at run-time. The normal installer shouldn't have this issue as it patches the .exes directly with the new changes and should revert the 5>1 behaviour.
Hello,
First time poster and I want to say I'm really loving the New Threat mod. The new fights and tweaks to the stats/materia have been great and I love all the little humor added to the game.
I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong, but I just can't seem to get the Chocobuckle Enemy Skill. I've just gotten out of Midgar and am at the Chocobo Farm, but the chocobos don't seem to want to use the move. I feed the chocobo a Gysahl Green then use Quarry Fuse (which I assume replaced L5 suicide) but the chocobo just runs away every time. I've tried other things like using Quarry Fuse without feeding it a green and also waiting until it finished eating the green, but every time the chocobo just runs away.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it not a 100% chance it will use the move?
Thanks in advance for any help.
First off, Chocobuckle only gets used if a Mimmett Green (or Sylkis Green) is used on the chocobo first. The other greens don't flip the flag for Chocobuckle (this is something from vanilla game).
But the other issue seems to be that while the set-up for getting the skill is the same (it's done by tracking the attack ID rather than the nature of the attack itself), the problem is that if the skill kills the chocobo then it won't use Chocobuckle and as Quarry Fuse isn't percentile damage like L5 Suicide was, it makes it trickier to learn later in the game. In the meantime, try using sense on a chocobo to get its HP, and if Quarry Fuse is dealing way more damage than its MaxHP try putting MBarrier on it before using. I think what I'll do is set the chocobo's HP to something extremely high to circumvent this issue next time I make a patch.
Thanks, I found it. Now I am now in the post game and I am a little lost of what to do and what order use.
First thing to do is visit the bottom of the north crater, opening up all the chests you can find. There is a boss sitting on each route though so make sure to save the game before going down there. Characters also give a fixed item after reuniting so don't worry about what paths you send them down. Key things to grab are Shield (first screen), Planet (right-side last screen) + Gospel Spark, HP Plus (left-down), and some other bits and pieces. If encounters get too bothersome, consider turning them off at a save point or equipping Sneak Attack + Teleport. When you reach the bottom, a bunch of stuff will be unlocked.
There's no real fixed order for them, but I would advise always starting with the Crater first to get as much stuff from it as possible so you have more to work with when tackling the extra stuff. To know where to go for the Lv.4 Limits, a new NPC gets added to the Highwind cockpit that gives hints about it. Tifa and Cid need to be party leader to trigger theirs, which can be swapped using another new NPC in the Operations Room (right-side NPC).
-) Materia Caves
-) Lv.4 Limit Bosses (1 per character, Cait Sith technically has one but it's for a material to make his ultimate weapon instead)
-) Junon Leagues
-) Battle Square (Normal, Special, Extra - this last one is accessed through an NPC on the left-side of the hallway)
@Walkingplague
The tool Black Chocobo can edit your save and your location. If you change it to Bone Village, everything should be fine.
Or you take the lower exit from the dark cave, if you still got a save - it brought me back to the entrance.
@Sega Chief
The Corneo-villa of the dark cave had a graphics bug. I picked Tifa and Aeris and as i entered the room with Corneo's desk, Aeris was inside the desk. Didn't have consequences though - i could proceed normally.
The stat system has a really nasty quirk. A certain boss forced confusion and peerless on Tifa, who protected herself with [added effect] + [mystify]. She was confused the whole fight and nothing could heal that, not even death. Tifa's spinning corpse was...unsettling.
I am really thinking about scrapping status defenses altogether because the really nasty bosses seem to force them anyway and my protections prevent a cure.
Is there a way to change that effect? I mean - i have nothing against protect rings and touph rings for everyone but that seems so counterintuitive, especially since i already get a hefty stat malus for protecting myself through materia.
Yeah, she isn't hidden properly; there's some logic going on with the Wall Market fields to display one of two field models and I ran afoul of it.
I'm scrapping ignore status defence from the final update, as it causes too many problems and goes against the grain of preparing a team. Peerless can be removed using Debarrier or Dispel, but if a status is forced through when resistance is innate (from armour, materia, etc.) then it stays on as what status immunity effectively is in this game is a toggle lock.
