« on: 2015-06-25 15:32:10 »

Need help, I followed everything step-by-step but the game won't boot with 7th heaven. It says unable to locate registry key. Please Re-install Final Fantasy VII. Then I get a pop up that says "insert disc 1, 2, or 3 and try again"

What am I doing wrong? I installed it outside the program folders, and properly assigned 7th heaven to the proper game folders. What am I missing?

If it matters, it's the steam version and i'm running windows 8.1.

I have crappy internet so i'd really rather not reinstall if at all possible...

Looks like i'm not the only one with the issue.

Here's my file

Okay, I seem to be having all sorts of problems now. I got a new rig designed for Gaming with Windows 8.1 . Installed my Steam edition of FF7, played it once, then tried to convert it. I had the disk added to a drive, ran it and it kept giving me a lot of access is denied stuff along with select a sound device.   Wouldn't let me run the FF7 config because it did not write a registry key.  Has anyone suffered this? xD

Sora's method will not work if you have a music mod activated in 7H. Any 7H mod that is activated will take priority over mods listed below it AND any files in your game folder. This will only work if you don't activate any 7H music mods, which means you will need to create your own custom folder of music using the Import feature to bring it into 7H OR copy the music into the music\vgmstream folder.

Oh darn I forgot about that. Because I don't have the Music mod activated.  xD My apologies.

Little Anxious Heart question here :

I would like to have the  AH full selection, but without the music of it for battles that I don't like.
How is it possible to manually choose the Anxious Heart songs like with the stand alone Installer solution in 7H ?

Well, what I would do is have the wanted battle music files on a separate folder. Install the choice then copy paste the files you want as a battle song into the music folder.  Make sure you back them up in case you make a booboo.  I do this whenever I wanna use different music.

Hello~

You modders are all doing awesome work, I can't thank you enough! FFVII is so delicious with the mods, I really enjoy it. I used 7H to pretty up the game (Steam version) and I'm currently playing the NT mod. However, for some odd reason I have triple AP weapons since the beginning of the game. I assume that's not the way it should be. I searched this thread for a solution and I've read this is an issue when another gameplay has been used before NT. But I never used any of the other difficulty mods, nor did I use bootleg. Any ideas? Is this probably an issue of cooperation with other mods in 7H?

Best regards

What all did you install BEFORE 7th heaven?

His models are based off of PRP. Trying moving CHaOS Base to 3rd or 4th. If CHaOS doesn't touch her model, then her PRP version is probably loading from Field Models - Characters, Enemies, and Objects, depending on what you selected in its Configure.

-
I installed the old Kaldarasha mod  to see if it fixed it, it did.  On the Field Models deal,   I had it selected to Kaldarasha's models. Maybe leaving it off will fix it.  But keep my save points and stuff on.

Has anyone else had any issues regarding Elena's model being in the PRP version instead of Kaldarasha version? I found this in the Mithril mines.   Here is my load order.

CHAOS Animation
CHAOS Cloud
Barret Test
Battle Models - Characters
Battle Models - Enemies
Battle Models - Weapons
Battle Textures
Field Models - Characters, Enemies, and Objects
Field Textures
Spell Textures
World Textures
Menu - Backgrounds and Avatars
Menu Overhaul
Minigames - Chocobo Race
Minigames - Fort Condor
Gameplay - Tweaks and Cheats
World Models - Characters, Enemies, and Vehicles
CHAOS Base

I have contacted Kaldarasha about this, just needed to see if anyone else has had this happen.

Hey, Kaldarasha, there may be a problem.  I went to the Mithril mines on the game with 7th Heaven, and it seems Elena isn't up to par with her Turks model.  She is in the original PRP upscale which has me kinda bugged. I could post my load order to show you if you want. With your subscription link I did as instructed, put the CHAOS base at the bottom and animations at the top.

The **ba files could also be bad.

What ancient PC do you use that you can't run the game with 7H?

My guess? Windows Millenium, 95, 98, or 2000. o.o -Derp-

Well I m working with this again and apparently I have not been able to fix my issue with the Menu avatars or Background changes. I got Reunion and the Menu Overhaul to work, now i'm looking for help on the avatars. I tried extracting the files from the IRO and putting them in the desired folders but nothing changes. Hm. 


Edit: I FIXED ETT! I forgot after installing Reunion, I have to reinsert the mod path for the Textures. e.e

Bootleg Questions / Bootleg with Aali's new driver and other goodies. [FF7PCsteam/convertion]

« on: 2015-03-26 03:02:29 »

This will be one of my very own rarely seen threads! Yippie!   

Anywho,  down to business!  I have finished the game on Steam,  however now that has been done I am looking to resume my old work experimenting with the mods and working with some basic changes to new versions.  For instance, Aali's driver for 0.8.1 and AH.  Reunion as well.

The last time I have tried , or rather attempted such a feat. I have had problems, I read one particular threat about the music, got it to work but then there is the driver.    I have tried the Reuinion's latest installment and for some reason these issues occur with bootleg.    The game will crash, texture errors occur where collisions are made, certain things are being mushed together .   In the menu, the game will crash at the Magic menu,  when going into battle all because of exceptions. 

Could anyone on the team give me some thoughts and pointers on what to do exactly? I do not want to go in blind again,  like a durrdurr like I used to.

Well, almost done with my little project on the steam release.  I just wanna ask. How are things going for you guys? I also figured out what was wrong with my Avatar and background thing from 7h the last time I used it. i could have just extracted the IRO and put the files there manually.  A bit funny yeh? Also, what is to be expected in the future with the catalog? Is there anything new? I have been too busy to get around the detail due to work.  My shifts are crazy.

You may have to set exclusions from your antivirus for certain folders and files so it won't scan while off. Sometimes Norton does that (I use Norton.)  But with Avast , well I don't know. See what you can do on what I have instructed and see if that works. I had to turn everything off for the day before running bootleg sometime.   


Oh!  @Vgr     Hey buddy.  Could you answer my question about installing Aali's new driver and the new Anxious Heart?  I was wondering about that.  Because once I finish my playthrough experiment, i'm going to be doing bootleg again to clear out some things with other objectives.     If I install bootleg,  then install the new driver, Anxious Heart and Reunion. I may need pointers from you and Dan about this.

It does work but only the old one does.  The one provided with Tifa's package does work with bootleg .  The newer Reunions do not because they need Aali's new driver.

I play for the first time with a full 7H install. I mean all mods activated. Runs great, anyway, I have 2 little questions :

1 - I used to love the 'black mage' tracks( especially the boss music ) from Anxious Heart. What's the setting in the mod for having it ?
2 - I tried the full Aerith + hardcore mod, and it seems harder than just 'hardcore mod', since the beggining of the game. is it normal ?

PFT!  I am still trying to get it to run great. xD  Can't even get the avatars to work nor the backgrounds for the menu.

I always thought that it should be as it is. Because the Villagers of Cosmo Canyon know nothing of the experiments done on him in Midgar so how could they know his name had been altered to a Nickname by Hojo?  I say leave it as it is.

Okay it's been a while since i've actually posted here. I am thinking of using bootleg again after I beat the game on the steam edition, but I wanna ask about some issues like the Vincent Graphical errors where he does a ballerina dance at Nibelheim's Shinra mansion,  Water alter, and those two guards at the Shinra HQ.  I've looked for file fixes but they did not seem to work. o.o  Has anyone ever fixed this officially?

And would it be possible to install the new AH over the original music set up after installing bootleg?  I haven't tried this and I have no time to do some of these because of upcoming work and events.

Well then, I just hope things get better man.  I started working a job a week or so ago, 9 hours a week to take care of my mom.  Planning to get a second job to make more money and invest in a new rig for both of us.  I love experimenting with Reunion and other mods, but if i'm gonna do serious work , i'm gonna need a better chassis ya know?

On a side note,  the next time I do a complete walk-through, i'll play through the  game without Reunion installed to see if it really is the patches messing up that area I mentioned.
