@DLPB: Is M005 full compatible with Bootleg 0037 ?

[DLPB]

I doubt it since new options have been added.  I don't use bootleg.

[cocoboii]

sup DLPB. Id like to first start off by telling you how much i appreciate all the handwork u put into making dis awesome mod and that goes for all the other modders as well. Now about my issue with the MO5, my menus and dialouge boxes... pretty much all of the text boxes arent completely solid but besides tht all else seems to be working fine. So yea its not really much of a big deal but its still an eyesore so if it can be fixed id be most grateful. Btw I understand u got lots of things to do and u might have addressed dis issue already but if u can take the time to help me resolve dis issue im having it would mean a lot thx in advance 

In case you might not get exactly what I mean about not completely solid.. heres a link of my ss: http://s1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg584/cocoboii/?albumview=slideshow

# ff7_opengl-0.7.10b config file



## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 0
window_size_y = 0
preserve_aspect = yes
fullscreen = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = DK

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = yes

# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode
# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effect
minigame_framelimiter = on

# same thing, but for the battle swirl
battleswirl_framelimiter = off

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
#music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = on

# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = no

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# expand battle viewport to cover entire screen and make the battle menu transparent
new_battle_interface = on

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no



## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = yes

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)
# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = no

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = no

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = no

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no


disable_popup = on[/img]

That happened to me too at 1st you have set everything correctly but this is set wrong:
window_size_x = 0
window_size_y = 0
Since you have set it as fullscreen you must set them to your screen resolution e.g. mine is like this:
window_size_x = 1024
window_size_y = 768

[DLPB]

It is likely the resolution you are playing at.  Try a window mode resolution of 960*720, 1280*960 or 640*480.

If this doesn't work, turn on prevent rounding errors.

edit:
Ah it was a resolution issue, thanks for that ^

[cocoboii]

much thx to the both of ya, changing the screen resolution back fixed the problem. Only reason I had it changed tho was because I liked it at full screen without the black borders. Is there anyway that i could have it that way without the issue i had b4.. if not thts cool i can live* with it xD. And much thx for dis brilliant, awesome looking mod DLPB

[DLPB]

The black borders are normal.  To not have them with certain screens means you are playing at the incorrect aspect ratio.

[cocoboii]

iight its cool then, i dont mind. Anyways thx for everything you guys! : )

[Sun7zu]

First of all, thank you so much for sharing this project with the world! Love the new fresh look on my FF7 !

I've run into a few problems, however;

I'm unable to Feed or Ride chocobos (whenever I chose to Feed them, Choco Billy is telling me to select which chocobos to Mate instead. The Mating and Release Chocobos command does nothing.


I'm also unable to leave Northern Crater once the Highwind is 'docked' there (Start of disc 3 for example) Telling the Pilot to 'Go!' does nothing at all. 

Had to uninstall M005 completely to get everything above to work.

[DLPB]

Your problems have nothing to do with the Menu Overhaul project...?  Have you checked without the menu overhaul installed? And did you follow instructions to use a CLEAN flevel before installing M005?

[Sun7zu]

Well, it worked fine when I uninstalled the mod, as I mentioned already  . And I've only tried this on a clean English 1.02 exe with Aali's custom driver installed. Followed the installer carefully as well.

[kranmer]

I just tested this as well (i am about to test this again in a moment) and Sun7zu is correct, it appears to be the retranslation though because my installation without the retranslation seems to work fine (but i am rechecking this now)

EDIT: Just tested this once more and if i do a clean installation without retranslation it works fine, but if retranslation is turned on (even if its turned on, on its own with no other options selected) this error happens

[Sun7zu]

Did a recheck as well, it's the same for me, works fine with everything except Re-Translation Project [R002]

[DLPB]

I will look into it.  I will place findings on this post.

edit:  I need to know the exact dialogue with the highwind.  I have already spotted a problem but I cannot be sure it relates to the exact dialogue. 

Pilot Apprentice (Lv 14 {RAINBOW}Limit Break!{RAINBOW})
“Yo,{CLOUD}!
   Whatcha gonna do?”
{CHOICE}Go!
{CHOICE}Wait

< is it that one?

[kranmer]

it happens here for me

[DLPB]

That is weird... must be an issue with touphscript.

For some reason it doesnt do this with me, the options are fine.  I will have to look into this even further. 

edit:  I have no clue what is going on here but I will be finding out.

edit 2:  only conclusion is this is a bug in ts.  I will notify Luksy.

edit 3.  It is again the fault of the original script programmers sharing vars between different options.  This is being fixed by Luksy for ts in a script patch.

[DLPB]

Important:  Do not use Re-translation option with this installer.  Wait for M005a.  If you have already used it, simply reinstall M005 again without the R002 option.

The problem has been fixed in latest ts release and will be integrated with M005a. 

[maon16]

Hello,  and thank you for this awesome mod (well at least it seems awesome).

What I did:
I installed the game, installed the 1.02 patch , installed Aali's custom graphics driver and finally installed this mod with the .exe

My problem:
After seeing the game credits and choosing "new game" I'm stuck on the "insert disk 1" screen.

Things to know:
This is the only mod I use
I installed the original version of the game
All three disks are mounted on virtual cd drives
My antivirus is off
I execute the game in admin mod

I have been looking for almost an hour to see if anyone haf the same pb without sucess...

Many thanks to the ones who'll try to help me =)

[DLPB]

Does your game work without menu overhaul?  This doesnt sound like a problem with my mod?

[PitBrat]

maon16,
Do you have the correct CD-ROM Drive letter set in the registry?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII]
"DataDrive"="E:\\"

[UGerstl]

Hi maon16,

• don't start the game in Administrator modus
  
  
• use only one virtual cd drive
  
  
• check the volume labels :  FF7DISC1 / 2 / 3
  
  
• check the registry keys
  
  Example:  CD drive = E:
  
  Windows, 32 bit
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SOFTWARE
      Square Soft, Inc
        FINAL FANTASY VIII
          1.00
              DataDrive = E:\
              MoviePath = E:\ff7\movies\
  
  
  Windows, 64 bit
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SOFTWARE
      Wow6432Node
        Square Soft, Inc
          FINAL FANTASY VIII
            1.00
              DataDrive = E:\
              MoviePath = E:\ff7\movies\
  

[maon16]

Thank you for those fast answers ! =)

You had it right the problem came from the registery keys !

Thank you very much game is working now ! =)

Nice Job guys !

[DLPB]

Can I remind people (maon) again, this is not a general help thread.   

[LeonhartGR]

Important:  Do not use Re-translation option with this installer.  Wait for M005a.  If you have already used it, simply reinstall M005 again without the R002 option.

The problem has been fixed in latest ts release and will be integrated with M005a.

In the new fix will we have to uninstal m005 and install it without the R002 option or just install it on top? Thanks?

[DLPB]

Just install over top.  From now on that is all you need to do, the files used are the ones placed into Backup-dlpb
