DLPB: I'm having a major problem with this mod, specifically with the battle menu switcher. I have a 55" TV in the same room as my computer. It's an old rear projection TV. The keyboard cord isn't long enough to reach where I have to sit to be in front of the TV, so I have to sit to the side and the colors look horrible when sitting to the side like that. Also the DVI-to-HDMI converter puts "black snow" all over the screen.

Can you or Aali have an option during installation that changes the color to compensate for having to play it at this extreme angle? I read the whole first post and the readme and they didn't talk about this at all.

On a serious matter, my wife told me that if I buy her a Wii, she will agree to play FF7 and FF8. This is a huge deal, as she has avoided any games I've tried to get her to play in the past (besides Facebook games and Mahjong), partly because her ex-husband was into FF7. I'm hoping this mod and maybe the retranslation one will be done by that time so she can experience FF7 the best way possible. So, M005? Yes?

EDIT: This makes reply #1,000.

getting there. To make installer cleaner and compatible with the Unified Model Installer I am rewriting a lot of it.

DLPB · « **Reply #1003 on:** 2012-02-25 15:50:35 »

I know I keep saying it but... gettin' there.

Today I wrote a little program to edit any and all text at runtime, so that a few options have been added like 3-d battler fix (from tS).

So what is to do?

1. Final graphics by felix.
2. Translation polished up to where we are at.
3. Series canon item changes reflected in menu ordering in game.
4. Testing.

I have also made it so that UMI and MOP share the same backup folder from now on and uninstall is done via selection and then manually deleting the backup folder.

I don't know how long this will take from this point, but most of the work was done today. The changes are:

Code: [Select]

M005

1. Retranslation Project Revision 002. Up to Shin-Ra Building (and other maps are done.  34% game dialogue).
2. "500 years later" text updated.
4. Smoother opening menu transition. Thanks to Dziugo for his help!
5. FeliX magic barrier graphic fixed (very slight issue).
6. Materia exchange menu fix (original game has an annoyance where the cursor moves to 8th slot all time).
7. British spellings in ff7.exe also changed with option.
8. Full font support for foreign languages.
9. Rebirth Sephiroth battle "Worried about..." option fixed.
10. touphScript update to fix broken world map dialogue.
11. touphScript update to fix certain dialogue boxes that were not being resized.
12.  Possible "invalid colour type" error has been fixed with the mods\flevel items.
13. Various options for minigame fixes added
14. Grimmy's coloured item pictures
15. Option to change series canon item names in retranslation
16. Option to allow disabling of mouse input in game.
17. Philman's coloured FF9 battle interface

I may also add the ability to install any part of the installer rather than force certain ones as before.

DLPB i have one idea to put on the next releases of menu overhaul.

Some people don't will waste time on color the battle font of FF9 style of menu overhaul,i've colored and just want show it here.

http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz12/philmansp/?action=view&current=MenuOverhaulbattlefont.png

the idea is pick the non colored font and make different colors,and in the releases put this like a option,for example:
Font color
Name = blue
hp = red
Mp = green
Atb = gray (original)

it's just a idea,what you think?

DLPB · « **Reply #1005 on:** 2012-02-26 05:40:12 »

If people are happy with that you can send me the texture and I will add it. I like it.

I can't put more than 1 i n though, too much messing. The one you have above will do fine.

philman · « **Reply #1006 on:** 2012-02-26 06:16:50 »

I send the texture to you,but you've blocked pm.

if you let me do,i put the link here:

Edit: included in M005

DLPB · « **Reply #1007 on:** 2012-02-26 06:20:12 »

Nice

I will use this

DLPB · « **Reply #1008 on:** 2012-03-09 00:41:19 »

M004d is now removed. Please await M005 in the next few days. Credit list on main post is updated.

AlbusJC · « **Reply #1009 on:** 2012-03-09 09:55:39 »

I've been waiting for this new version. Thank you very much for your work DLPB.

Jayke · « **Reply #1010 on:** 2012-03-10 13:55:01 »

Hey guys, don't suppose any of you could upload their M004d.exe? I know M005d is out very soon but it would be awesome to be able to play this weekend before going back to work, cheers!

ProtoX · « **Reply #1011 on:** 2012-03-10 14:46:13 »

Okay this is odd, your music mod DPLB has some how stoped the lucky tifa patch that i had when your mod was out. now its just back to the default setting for tifa's limit break

DLPB · « **Reply #1012 on:** 2012-03-11 00:45:07 »

The only way that is possible is if it took the backup from the backup folder and it was an earlier version, hence me asking for people to wait for M005 and so on.

other than that I don't see a way it could have reverted it. The audio mod does not affect ff7.exe in any way that could change those things.

ive had M004d since first released and had no problems with it. but for some strange reason your audio mod disabled the lucky tifa patch

DLPB · « **Reply #1014 on:** 2012-03-12 01:46:15 »

That makes no sense at all... There is no way it can do that...

Anxious Heart doesn't alter any of those areas. Try again and see if you can replicate.

cooLopke · « **Reply #1015 on:** 2012-03-12 17:40:43 »

When are you planning to release the new m005? Is it really soon? Or is it possible for you to upload the old m004d.exe for the time being, since I can't find the file anywhere on the internet.

Thanks.

Greetings

DLPB · « **Reply #1016 on:** 2012-03-12 18:07:17 »

I have answered that already. It is soon.

cooLopke · « **Reply #1017 on:** 2012-03-12 18:46:56 »

Sorry, for asking.

Question:
Is it possible to rename the new m005.exe file to m004d.exe? So that it is compatible with bootleg? Or do you have to install it seperately?

Thanks

Greetings

DLPB · « **Reply #1018 on:** 2012-03-12 19:49:45 »

It is called M005 so it is named as such. A better idea is to probably keep to 1 name like MO.exe and have the details inside.

Duriel · « **Reply #1019 on:** 2012-03-13 02:46:07 »

Hey only just found out about this today, can't wait to start testing it out. Just wondering if you kept all the versions for this mod? like M001 or even before that if there are any before, or even videos for all the versions. Would love to see how-much its transformed up to now.

Thanks for all your hard work btw, glad there are talanted people out there such as yourself willing to put time into this.

Oh and will this be added in with the unified model installer?

DLPB · « **Reply #1020 on:** 2012-03-13 02:55:43 »

No, that is a different installer and is separate. I also don't keep past installers since every installer is a definite improvement over the last.

miguelfcp · « **Reply #1021 on:** 2012-03-13 10:21:39 »

Someone can upload the M004d.exe again please? The link on main page is broken.
Thanks for your attention.

danstrom · « **Reply #1022 on:** 2012-03-13 13:42:59 »

i need the m004d as well. I cant run bootleg without it and it should be removed from bootleg if it is not accessible to download. can anyone host it and just pm me the link? ty

DLPB · « **Reply #1023 on:** 2012-03-13 13:52:14 »

Wait. It isn't going to be that long, and nagging is not going to help. If you install the older one you are wasting your time, because you will only have to install the new one which uses different backup and restore procedure.

danstrom · « **Reply #1024 on:** 2012-03-13 14:36:20 »

my problem is not the content itself and whether it is finished or not. It is that I don't know what option to turn off to do the bootleg install without the file itself
