For feedback etc, please post HERE!

Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or higher to run.
Just run it, select the ff7 data folder and select which files to patch. It's easy.

I would also recommend the Mdef bug fix by NFITC1 and dziugo. Get it HERE!.
How to use it is explained HERE!

New in v1.0.1:

• Kernel.bin updates automatically.
• The final battles, materia caves bosses and Omega are a bit harder.
• Fixed all known bugs fromv1.0.
• Fixed some inconsistencies in kernel2.

Possible issues:
The patch will not overwrite files in battle.lgp. If you have added new battle models to battle.lgp, models with same names as mine will not be touched. This will make the game likely to crash when you encounter these models in-game. To avoid this, simply rename your models. My models starts with name sn**, and ends with ud**. Which means you can start at ue**.
This will only be a problems if new models were added to battle.lgp, not replaced.

Scene.bin, kernel.bin, kernel2.bin and several field files in flevel.lgp will be overwritten. To avoid inconsistencies with any translation project you may want to not patch kernel2.bin. The field files overwritten by this patch usually don't contain much dialogue (See the log file (after the patch is done) to see which files inside flevel.lgp that were overwritten). For more info.on the files: read the info. in the patch app (click info.). 

There is a new boss here if you haven't picked up that materia yet (Omega):

If you use Aali's custom graphic driver there will be a glitch on one of it's attacks that crashes the game. This glitch is NOT a problem with my mod, and will occur on 1 other enemy in the game if you use Aali's cgd. It looks like it's a problem with fancy transparency. Open ff7_opengl.cfg and turn fancy_transparency off. (at least v0.7.3b and below. If you use a newer version this glitch may not appear. Check version !here!).


If you wish, you can donate your own mod, and in future releases I will include it as an option in the patch. PM me and we'll take care of it.
