Support / Problems upscaling FF7 field Textures
« on: 2017-07-17 20:28:03 »
I have been sifting through the forums on here and trying to upscale and improve the FF7 field textures to suit my tastes. I have ran into two problems:

1. I open ancnt1.lgp in palmer editor, I extract the PNG files and get the 6 or so layers for that background, I open the files in Corel Paint shop Pro X and paste and align all the layers into one image (everything fine so far). Now here's where I hit my first problem After I edit/resize the texture when I try to save the PNG with all 6 or so layers Paint shop will not save the PNG as a layered image it forces the PNG to be saved as a merged image.

2. I assume that the merged image is ok to use. So I open ancnt1.lgp again in palmer editor and choose import PNG, my new merged PNG is imported and everything seems fine. Now I hit the second problem with i choose create modpath textures in palmer editor, even though my imported png is 2048x2048 palmer editor save the modpath texture as 256x256. Is this normal? and am I just supposed to resize the new modpath texture to 2048x2048 again??

Any help would be appreciated, been tearing what little hair I have left out over this lol

Hey where Can I download this field texture editor?  The Link on page one is broken :( To clarify when I download version 8.0b, I extract and run it it just opens a black window with the heading Palmer FF7 Field background editor, but it has no menus or anything

Thanks I worked it out eventually LOL. Is there any more of your work currently available for download? Or is it just the images on page 1 of this forum (I already downloaded those ones.Thanks.) ???

NVM worked it out I didn't realize I had to keep the files in the original subfolders, i initially just extracted them all and copied all the files to the field directory. Doh!!!  Got them working now :)

I must apologise. My intention was not to belittle anyone. I simply stated the facts in my opinion. The renunion overhaul didnt work for me agreeably because I didn't know I had to use a different exe file. But what's that all about anyway?  The Team Avalanche menus only require that you copy 2 folders to the texture directory, far more simple and efficient and looks better than reuinion overhaul. The field texures available in 7th Heaven catalogue only very slightly improve texture quality. The Team Avalanche Midgar Textures dramatically improve the filed textures to a whole other level and make Final fantasy look like an entirely new game. Given the choice obviously you are going to pick the one that makes the game look best :)

NVM I got the Team avalanche GUI to work all I had to do was copy the files to the Mods\Textures folder. It looks all hi res and amazing. Much better  than the horrible low res squashed fonts in the reunion overhaul. Also Team avalanches hi res midgars textures are amazing far better than the enhanced field textures in the 7th heaven mod catalogue. Just a pity Team avalanche haven't got a full game texture replacer, their mods are worlds apart from the rest.  8-)

I actually found a set of field textures (3GB) on these forums that can still be download from a hosting site going to try them next month when my internet allowance is reset. They are here if anyone having issues with the 7th heaven downloader wants to try them out in the meantime:    https://1fichier.com/?kbkwrdpygc

I am having the exact same problem with the 3.3 GB filed textures mod. Every time it gets to about half way done the downloader freezes and 7th heaven stops responding. clicking cancel deletes the partially downloaded iro file from the temp directory and starts again from the very beginning. This is very frustrating and annoying as I am on a 15GB monthly contract. Really these mods need an alternative download mirror or something. I did however manage to take a copy of my partially completed iro file at 1.5GB and have installed it. It seems to be replacing the filed texture fine. I am guessing I will get to a point in the game where the partial download ends and they will go back to low res.

How do i do that?  Also Is there an Link anywhere online to download the field textures part 2 mod (The satsuki  ones or whatever he/she's called lol). Without having to download through 7th heaven mod manager? I just wasted about 4GB of internet allowance trying to download it through 7th heaven mod manager it always freezes half way through the starts the download from the beginning again. Its wasted nearly all this months internet allowance :( . Thanks in advance.

Ok Grimmy, I will check what you mean for the next catalog update. If I have issues still, I'll PM you at some point.

Hey hope you see this EQ2Alyza. Tried to PM you but cant seem to find any option to d so on this site. Was on the IRC Chat and got told your the woman to talk to regarding Final Fantasy 7 mods. My problem is I am looking for a good menu replacer. Tried the reununion mod in 7th heaven catalogue but the font is horrible and it does not make the game look nice at all. I have found images of a nice HD one with an hd font on google and I think it's the team avalanche GUI 2.0.8. Now the only version of this available for download any more in the rar archive. I downloaded it but is has no readme and no installation instructions anywhere on the net. The rar file has two folders flevel and menu which are filled with the various menu images. I tried copying them to the direct folder but it does nothing does not change the menus whatsoever. How do I install this mod?????   I also have various mods installed with 7th heaven mod manager which work fine.

Catalogs / Re: [FF7] Update Reports and Mod Requests
« on: 2016-07-15 19:55:08 »
Dude you seriously need to add an option to 7th heaven mod manager to resume broken downloads. I had filed textures part 2 just freeze and stop twice now after downloading about 2GB. Just wasted 4GB of data. Need to wait till next month now to redownload :(. I could not even find any trace of the old temp download file anywhere on my PC even after running a deep scan with recuva. So umm yeah dude some support for resuming broken downloads and not deleting the failed temp download files form the PC would be much appreciated!!!!! :mrgreen:
