I'm a little confused after going through all these different threads for this project. My understanding is the following: the link to R004 doesn't work anymore, and MOO3 does not yet include the retranslation, but MOO4 will, so currently the only way to get the retranslation mod is to wait for MOO4. Is that correct?

Thanks, btw. I'm really excited for this new translation!


That is correct.  The retranslation old installer is now gone.  It states this in the retranslation thread. :)

---------------------------
Q.  It isn't even installing?
A.  Make sure you have administrator privilleges (right click- "run as admin" in later versions of Windows) and also make sure that YOUR ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE IS TURNED OFF.
---------------------------
Q.  The graphics look really messed up, especially in battle
A.  Make sure you are using latest Custom Driver by Aali.  Make sure you installed this project last and did not install Team Avalanche Menu Overhaul.  Make sure your modpath in ff7_opengl.cfg reads "modpath=DK".  Make sure that you have cleared Cache folder in the modpath, and try "Compress Textures = no" in ff7_opengl.cfg.
---------------------------

Things NOT TO DO:

5.  Do NOT run this installer without first deactivating your Anti-Virus software.

6.  Do NOT install anything from the Remix installer.. at all!  It has caused numerous problems and is grossly out of date.  If you have, and uninstalling it does not work, use a FRESH 1.02 FF7.exe.

---------

Also clear the cache folder after install and make sure you are NOT ticking the bottom uninstall options.

Just curious why the mod folder for the Menu Overhaul is "DK".... what does that stand for out of curiosity??

Okay thanks. I expected it to be out there somewhere so I thought maybe I missed something. I await M004 with bated breath.

I made a decision to make each side equal.  The alternative looked crap.  :) So yes it is normal.

Is it possible to extend both sides, so they are still equal, but without the gap?

I kinda agree it looks like a bug, sticks out in an otherwise pretty flawless menu overhaul :)

I am not changing that gap because it is designed to be consistent with elsewhere, hence the cursor is in the correct place and text is centred.  It is how they decided to do it...  I may give it another look but don't hold your breath :P

Mike..  that is mentioned above you, you need to place in the grey font or wait for M004.  And no, cannot make that using this engine without serious rewrites.

Silly question, but would this mod look bad with a 320x240 resolution?

Edit: Nvm. Don't think I can use it. My card doesn't like OpenGL much and doesn't support NPOT (or much of anything for that matter).

I'm pretty sure anything looks bad at 320x240 :D

Wow, I never even ran windows 3 at 320x240.
How would you ever find the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons?
Is he playing FF7 on his phone?

EDIT:
I'm very excited about the upcoming release of Menu Overhaul 0004!
I hope the full retranslation project is part of the new release.
FF7 with Menu Overhaul and all the rest of the mods is simply beautiful.
I can't wait to explore the beautified world with the original story and dialogue restored.

Not 320x240 from the FF7Config.exe. Edited within the OpenGL Config for Aali.

Makes no difference, that is an insane resolution.  Minimum is 800*600 but 960*720 and 1280*960 are optimal.

WooHoo!
DLPB, Whooooa, oh-oh . . . nobody's watchin' you!

Edit:
It's probably inconsequential, but when showing the FPS while using Menu Overhaul the FPS font is misaligned.
Edit 2:
Now that I think about it, that's probably Ali's problem.

Aalis screen logging will not look right because I have altered a few values in the exe to compensate for the new font.

Ah ok. Furthermore, I want to install Nero's avatars. I read above that i have to replace them in the Dk folder. So basically i have to find the pictures on the web resize them and put them in the new folder, right?? isn't there any other way???

If you mean the transparent avatars they will come with next release.  If it is any other, no, you have to do it manually.

I noticed something else too. I'm not sure if this is a bug or it's supposed to look this way or something i did wrong. When i go to magix and see the spells they don't have the red triangle indicating that i can use them to all the enemies. What do i do about it??It's a little bit confusing.

Did you read the first post? This project started BECAUSE of that red arrow and he removed it, adding a little + instead.
