Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8 [v0.7.10b]

« on: 2011-06-20 01:24:30 »

Sorry if this thread is supposed to be posted to by Aali only, but I have something important to add.

For Aali's driver v0.7.10b and up, newer Nvidia drivers do not use the shaders properly, causing this 'everything is made of light' effect.

The problem seems to lie in the no light shaders he introduced in v0.7.9b for users receiving an error that shaders were not loading. They are apparently already included in v0.7.10b+, and load automatically. For those experiencing this issue, simply remove the files in /shaders/nolight (you will receive a harmless error on startup--to remove this error, copy the regular shaders into the nolight folder) so the regular shaders are loaded. This solved my problem 100% and I thought it was important enough to post here.

Moderators: Please move to the right location if necessary. Thanks!

If I'm not correct isnt that the codec FF7 uses for its FMVs?

perfect. Just need to recolor the black lettering white and animate it. I'm not sure where my animation tool is right now, but once i get it animated I'll need someone to convert it to avi and tweak it or whatever.

The one thing I did find that is in 720p is an eidos montreal logo on youtube. I fugre you could extract it and use video editing tools to remove the montreal moniker. As for the squaresoft logo, I'm sure there are high res iterations of it already online. All that would be left to do is animate it and convert it to Indeo avi.

Yea I get it. But the original eidos logo for FF7 is....just...so....BAD.

I am currently considering trying to find a newer, higher res eidos logo to replace it with. But most games nowadays don't use video for the opening credits. The idea is to get a higher res eidos logo and a higher res squaresoft logo to go with my new high res title screen.

Any thoughts?

Hey guys.

I used to lurk around here back in the day. I just recently got the urge to get Final Fantasy 7 and 8 back on my pc and running smooth when I (re)stumbled upon this site. In any case, I noticed that the original eidos logo video looked god awful, and you guys didn't include it in the restoration (of course not). That being said, I thought the FF8 eidos logo looked much better--so I extracted it, converted it, and uploaded it for anyone who would like to use it with FF7.

All you have to do is stick it in with the rest of the movies.

Cheers!
