[FF7][FAQ] 7th Heaven Frequently Asked Questions

[Scrat]

I've never heard before of enemies always attacking only one character, so not sure what a solution could be for that. I do advise in getting rid of Red Werewolf and CHaOS for now. The next update is going to remove their categories from the Catalog, and I will put their models and features into some of the other categories after some thorough testing. If you want to help with that, I may be able to set you up with a test Catalog for it.

Always happy to help! I was kinda wondering what my function here would be whilst square are remaking the FF7 universe... I didn't even finish my scene

[Sora123masta]

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

Hi again  ^_^ this time I don't have a problem thanks to EQ2Alyza but I'm here to inform you that the problem behind the battle encounters MAY be the menu overhaul...in fact I deactivated it and now it works perfectly fine. 

[Daniish]

My movies folder is empty, so no videos play. Sad, followed all steps...

By the way, how do I start from scratch without needing to re-download all the mods? I don't want to redownload them again, that was a pain... must be a solution

Did this, fresh reinstall, ran registry clean up and ccleaner. Then installed all mods except red and CHaOS. Now enemies attack Tifa until I use cure magic, then they attack barret and they alternate target every time I use cure. I then installed CHaOS again and this made everyon attack Tifa, no change on cure.

I have just uninstalled all mods and now it goes back to alternating target. Do the mods leave any trace when the are deactivated? I shall run another fresh install anyway to see if I get the same error on the steam vanilla and then again after I convert the game.

Oh man, I have derped so hard.

there is no problem, Tifa just has crap stats. After I levelled a bit and balanced the team, everything is fine. Derpy derpy derp

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...

Hi everyone
I had the same problem as you: wrong enemies in some battles if menu overhaul mod is active. I've just uninstalled the game (2012 Steam), cleaned the registry, and reinstalled the 1998 version, and those battles show the correct enemies now, with menu overhaul mod active, so I suppose it has something to do with the game version.

I wouldn't doubt this. For the next update, I have removed some files from MO that were unnecessary. The files removed do have the potential to mess with the battle encounters.

I don't know why your movies file is empty. If you do a full install, then the original movies (.avi files) will be there. The downloads are inside [gamedir]\mods\7th Heaven, so you can save them before doing a reinstall. I don't recommend this though because the next update is changing the file compression and will require everyone to download the Catalog again. Pain or not, there is no way of avoiding it.

Did you not use the Game Converter from STEP 1?

Yes, I used the game converter.

[EQ2Alyza]

When you ran the Game Converter, did you have a drive renamed to FF7DISC1 or mount the blank ISO I provided? That same drive needs to always be named FF7DISC1 when you run the game.

My main HDD is named FF7DISC1

I have the original 1998 PC Game, they are 4 CDs. FF7INSTALL, FF7DISC1,FF7DISC2, FF7DiSC3.

To install the game I need to run FF7INSTALL disc, and the Full Installation says this "Installs every data about the game in your hard drive. Movies will run from CD-ROMS"

So, I don't know what can I do :C

Another problem encountered besides no-movies (just seeing black screens with audio) on the first fight there is some ninja girl that Insta Kill me, I re-installed multiple times and always keep that error, so that's why I left trying on 7th Heaven, and needed to go back to Bootleg

PS: You were never inactive on Qhimm :O ? I made a tutorial for bootleg back on 2012, and then u made it super pro haha I still remember that haha

You know what I think? I think it might be the windows smartglass or our UAC.

I have all that crap at low-level/turned off.

Dunno what else to do, suggestions?

I wish I knew man. I just went from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 with my new Dell Alienware X51 R2.  it's a challenge all on it's own. Thankfully I gots me 16 GB of ram, I7 quad core processor, Nvidia GTX 960 .   Can't beat that for a stock when the ratings are from 8.3 to 8.5.

Sorry if double posting is bad but I got it to work! I just re-ran the game convertor as an adminastrater and everything worked.

But I have other problems now. My numpad is acting as the arrow keys instead of the actual arrow keys... and there was no sound on the opening credits. Haven't started a new game yet...

[Sora123masta]

Run it as Admin...OKAY NOW I FORGOT.

[wvnative]

You forgot how to do it?

Right click on the FF7 game converter and click run as administrator.

If you get the game to boot, let me know if you have the issues i'm having.

[Sora123masta]

Oh non no no I just forgot about the admin thing. xD You forget certain things when moving to new stuff.

Gotcha.


Just played the first battle, I have no music and now that I look at it, the music folder is empty... how did that happen?

The game also won't recognize any inputs outside my numpad, I don't wanna play with the numpad...

Also, my battle UI strongly resembles Final Fantasy IX, I prefer the original look. What mod do I disable to restore the original UI while keeping the sleeker look of everything else like the main menu/dialogue boxes?

And which mod will give me higher quality battle models?

Chaos gives the best looking models while retaining the original view. Except there is no cartoonish view to it if you get the idea. Look in your music settings for VGMstream, install the sound stuff from the catalog.  Or, manually install the music stuff from the latest Anxious Heart mod.

Considering the sleek look, to quote a dude off of Family guy:  There was no way.

Changed music plugin to none, which got me music, but no sound effects lol.

I'm downloading the music mods now.

Any ideas about the keyboard?
