So, we had a thought to rearrange the forum so that each game FF7, FF8, and FF9 each had their own board.  Within each board would be the typical graphical, audio, gameplay boards (each of which would also have a child board for releases.)

It's definitely going to take a bit of time to implement, but is this even something people would want or find helpful?  General and Completely Unrelated and Troubleshooting would remain independent.
We would also need to have a catch all forum for the occasional FFX or Xenogears project. I figure all FF7 compilation stuff would fall within FF7.

Just trying to make the forum more user friendly.

Surprisingly well done!

These have been converted to DDS for use with the True Odin's FFNx driver
https://www.mediafire.com/file/ghvi1nl7g3b64t1/Magochocobo_and_Felix_HD_battles_DDS.7z/file
They currently need to be loaded directly, but I'm sure could easily be made into an iro.

This pack isn't complete.  Missing or poorly upscaled are battles:
25
39
41
45
46?
47
51
52
59
60 missing
66
71
73
80
82 missing
84
85
87

So this pack will need to be substituted with another.  I suggest something like Avalanche Arisen as his seems to be most similar to this pack, or a quality upscale like Satsuki's SYW upscale

What's Before Crisis: Cissnei?
Before Crisis: Cissnei is a passion project led by a team of Final Fantasy fans that aims to replicate and faithfully expand upon the original Before Crisis flip-phone game, which never came out of Japan and is nowadays unplayable.
The game is being developed on RPG Maker MV with skillful hand of Obesebear, founder of the project, that has painstakingly extracted and recreated all of the backgrounds (currently of chapter 1). While the tireless cyclone Devina did a meticulous job in restoring the portraits to be a 1:1 comparison of their phone counterparts, adding 2D sprites, implementing a battle system and was relentless in trying to always find the next programming solution and put it into place. Thanks to Rizzle, the full script is being revised and new lifed has been breathed into the dialogue. Last but not least, Xhris surprised us with some fantastic graphic and UI edits.
The game takes place six years prior to FFVII and tells the story of the Turks as they face the newly formed terrorist group known as "Avalanche".

Graphical / How to add new textures to the modpath?
« on: 2015-05-17 02:55:35 »
So I'm importing a new potion model that is made of two parts.  The container, and the liquid.  I want the container to use alpha blending by way of the mod folder, but can't figure out how to force the game to apply it.   The model is ccha.hrc and its texture is ccha.tex

In mods/reunion/char/ I have put ccha.tex, ccha.png, and ccha_00.png.  But the app.log doesn't appear to be looking for it anywhere.  It seems to be that since the original ccha.hrc doesn't use a texture, that the modpath isn't expecting one, so it isn't searching for one.  Any idea how I can make it start searching?

So I stumbled on this  ALttP video a while back
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v788KslHvbU
and thought how awesome it would be to combine this technology with the FFVI Remastered OST FinalFanTim did a few years ago. 


I personally don't have the time for it, but I figured it would be a cool project that someone might be interested in.

« on: 2012-07-13 14:26:44 »
First off, this is ficedula's program.

v1.00 - Initial release - Coded by Ficedula ([email protected])


Ifalna is a rather sw33t 'model viewer' for FF7 PC. Meaning? You can look at the 3d models from FF7 (only the 'field' ones so far, ie. NOT the battle models) and also view their various 'poses' - the animations they go through, if you like.


This is a rather big improvement on previous programs that only showed models one piece ('bone') at a time and couldn't animate them




How To Use
----------
It SHOULD be simple (of course, if you've used my programs before, you're used to hearing that, right?). Just run IFALNA.EXE and you'll get the main window up. The first thing you need to do is open an archive containing model data. There's only one main archive in FF7 like that, CHAR.LGP, so (if you've got FF7 installed) the program will hopefully have that file shown in the Open dialog for you. Just choose the archive using the normal Open File windows dialog, by clicking on the "..." button.  (Incidentally, the world map archive, WM.LGP, also contains model data - for the 3d models on the world map, obviously. There's far fewer of them so the archive is much quicker to load).


Now Ifalna will scan the archive for model data. This can take quite a while because CHAR.LGP contains over 12,000 files, and even though it doesn't need to examine all of them, it does need to look at quite a lot of them.


Once it's done, the left hand list will contain a list of viewable models. Both the filename and the skeleton name will be listed. The skeleton name is usually fairly descriptive - the first skeleton should be AAAA.HRC, which has the name "n_cloud_sk" - obviously, that's Cloud.


When you choose a skeleton, the right hand list will fill up with a list of POSSIBLE animations to apply to this model. Now, Ifalna can't tell which animations were actually meant to go with this model, just which ones MIGHT.


(It's dependant on the number of 'body parts'. Tifa's model has 24 body parts, so when you choose her model, Ifalna lists all the animations that contain data for 24 body parts. However, more than one model in the game could have 24 body parts, so not all the 'valid' animations will actually look correct with Tifa - some could be intended for other models. Especially for people, most people will have a similar number of body parts. The exceptions are people with cool hair (seriously!) where additional body parts have been dedicated to the hair, so they have a different number of bones. So people like Aeris & Sephiroth are easy to find animations for


What then? To view, just choose an animation, and that model & animation will be displayed in the display window.


What happens if you select an animation that wasn't intended for that model? It depends. If both models (the one you're viewing, and the one the animation was intended for) were similar - both humanoid - then it might look "more or less" correct. Some parts would look a bit out of place.
At worst, of course, it'd be a animation intended for a totally different model, and the body parts would appear in totally the wrong places.


Ifalna does have a "filtering" mode. If this is on, only animations which really *were* meant for the selected model are displayed. At least, that's the theory - it should work, but of course, it's not guaranteed to. Generally, you'll want this turned on though.


When you exit Ifalna, it saves the analysis of the model files in a cache (IFALNA.CACHE) which it tries to load next time you run it. This saves loading time a lot.


The Viewer
----------
To start off with, the viewer should show the model just 'standing' there.


There's a number of controls you can alter:


'Rotate X/Y/Z': Drag these bars across to rotate the model in different ways.


'Start/End draw': Select the body part to start and end drawing with. To draw ALL parts (normal) set Start to the beginning (far left), and End to the last (far right).


'Frame': Selects the frame of animation to view (when Animate is on, the program cycles through all the frame by itself of course. This lets you view the frames 'manually'.)


'Zoom': I think you know what this does




In addition, there are various viewing options that can be turned on or off from either the Options menu, or the Display toolbar.


'Crosshairs': When on, each body part has three lines forming a 'crosshair' showing that body parts' center. Not much use (I used it to test out different methods of model viewing).


'Wireframe': When on, polygons are drawn as outlines, rather than as filled shapes.


'Animate': The good one When turned on, the model will perform the chosen animation over and over.


'Bones': When on, the 'bones', or 'joints' within the model, are drawn. You probably won't see this since the body parts cover them, so either turn the body parts off, or put them into wireframe mode.


'Bodies': When on (it normally is), the body parts are drawn. You'd only need to turn this off so you could see the bones (skeleton) of the model.


'Lighting': Turn on to add some simple lighting/shading to the model. Doesn't look very good but its only a quick test.


'Reflection': Enable a spiffy reflection special effect.


'Editing': Enable editing mode - see below




Note
----
The world map archive (WM.LGP) contains quite a few good models - don't think that CHAR.LGP is the only archive with models in it.




Editing
-------
You can turn editing mode on now. This lets you edit the rotations of bones in the animation frames. When on, you'll be presented with a list of body 'bones' on the left of screen, and three slides - X,Y,Z - on the right. Select the bones to edit in the lefthand list, then use the three slides to rotate it. You can't MOVE bones around just rotate them - that's the whole point of a skeletal system (your arm rotates around the shoulder, but you can't just pull it off at will, can you? I hope not, anyway. Also, because it's a skeletal system everything behaves like a real skeleton - if you rotate the neck, the head obviously follows
Each frame is edited totally independently. No shortcuts (yet).
When you change to another animation (or choose File/Save, of course), you're asked whether to save the changes back into the LGP. It should work, there's not much to go wrong...


Problems?
---------
Firstly, make sure you're using a valid copy of CHAR.LGP. If in doubt, restore it from the installation CD.

Secondly, Ifalna uses OpenGL. Make sure
    a) You've got the latest version drivers for your video card
    b) It can run other OpenGL software. Voodoo's especially don't have full GL and GLU libraries, so if you use a Voodoo card, you might be best off getting a software renderer (eg. MesaGL).

Thirdly, try restarting it

Also please note that the P decoder (polygon files) isn't perfect. It reads a LOT of files well, but a few of them will look corrupt. It's not perfect yet.

If you still can't get it to work at all - or something doesn't work - or even if it's just comments or ideas on features to add - please email me at [email protected] . If Ifalna produced a LOG.TXT message log, it'd help if you included that as well as any error messages you saw.

Merry Christmas everyone!

As part of my little project to put in Geno as an easter egg boss, I've decided the animations he best matches up with are Vincent's.   

I believe this topic has been covered before but was hoping for a little in depth explanation as to how to go about it. 

Speaking of... does anyone know if those extra Barret and Vincent and Yufie AA files are ever used and what for?

Gameplay / Geno
« on: 2011-10-07 17:10:45 »
Sooo...  I stumbled across a low poly Geno model on mediafire that seems to link back to a Smash Brothers Brawl forum.


My plan is to import him into the game one way or the other.  Maybe as a replacement of an ally, or even a possible optional boss.   My question to you all is...  if I can locate the other and gain permission to release it, would you rather him be an ally or boss?

« on: 2011-05-26 04:12:12 »
For those of you in the know, texturing FF7 is the cool thing to do.   I've decided to surprise everyone by showcasing my awesome talents.


Yeah, that's right.  It's Soul Fire from the Gi Nattak boss battle.  Now be impressed.

Completely Unrelated / Post Count Research
« on: 2011-04-07 06:46:50 »
So apparently once you surpass somewhere between 500k and 16777215 (the most possible) posts your post count becomes I am a Geek!! 

Figured this was worth documenting.  It's pretty hard making over 10,000 posts a day.

Team Avalanche / RedXIII and Cait Sith
« on: 2011-03-31 15:17:08 »
Xeno seems to have finished the modeling part of RedXIII, so I'm in the process of putting him in the game.  The texture still needs some work though, but hopefully I'll have it completely finished by tonight and someone can add in his tattoos and whatever else is needed.

So far all his bits are cut up and converted into p files, all it needs is to be put on the model and arranged correctly.  Stay tuned.

Side note:  sl, I'm not sure if I have permissions to move and delete and add things on the repository, if so I plan to go through all of that stuff soon and organize it

Announcements and site development / The RULES
« on: 2011-03-26 13:09:13 »
RULES
This is the rules page. I welcome all of our older members and new members to read over these and familiarize yourself with them. All users (even brand new ones) are expected to know and follow these rules. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse. You registered for an account on these forums and thus you should know these.


We Do Not Condone Software Piracy
Asking where to get illegal software or cracks will not be tolerated. Asking for support for the Ultima Edition or any other pirated version of the game will not be tolerated. Any discussion regarding pirated software is an immediate warning. Assisting people that use pirated software is also forbidden.


We Do Not Allow Ripped Content
Content ripped from other games, including models, backgrounds, textures, etc., is not to be distributed or requested. This content is just as copyrighted as the games it's ripped from. If you intend to release a mod that includes music, permission needs to be obtained and provided from any and all artists/arrangers beforehand if it was not created by you. Please only distribute things you either created yourself, or you have permission to distribute.


Asking for Help
We are here to help, but like to see people who try to help themselves.
  • Try to find an answer by searching the Qhimm forums, there's also our Wiki Page.
  • Try to find an answer by searching the Web
  • Try to find an answer by experimentation!
  • If you still cannot find a solution, make sure your post includes information about what you've tried.
  • Be patient. We can't all be online all the time, and nagging will make us want to help you less, and may lead to warnings.

Posting Etiquette
  • Double posting is generally not allowed. If your last post was less than 24-48 hours ago, edit your post. Some leeway will be given for new users who do not have access to the edit function yet, but please don't abuse this.
  • Don't post the same thread in multiple boards. If it's in the right place, people will find it. If it's in the wrong place, a moderator will move it.
  • Posting in threads more than a month old IS allowed. However, if your post contains no relevant information it will likely be deleted and you will be warned. If a link is broken, inform the author by using a Private Message.
  • CAPS LOCK MAKES IT LOOK LIKE YOU'RE BEING AGGRESSIVE!! WE DON'T LIKE AGGRESSIVE PEOPLE!! SO DON'T USE IT!
  • Smilies and shorthand (like lol) have a place in a message board, but too many can be annoying. If the amount of smileys you post is more than 1/5 of your word count, you may consider cutting some of them.
  • Everyone interprets things differently than others depending on their culture, life experiences, and many other factors. If somebody posts a message that could be considered insulting or offensive to you, don't immediately flame them.
  • Don't insult anyone. Report to a moderator if someone has insulted and/or threatened you. Responding in kind could get you warned as well.
  • Be constructive with your criticism, if you like someones work then take the time to explain why rather than cluttering a thread with random words like "Nice" or "Cool". Similarly, if you don't like the work then be polite enough to offer advice on how it could be improved.
  • Learn to use grammar and punctuation. Use of a spell checker is a good idea as well. "lol y evrone noes wat im sayin :?: :?: lol" is not an acceptable way of writing. Remember a well worded post shows respect to the people that are reading it.
  • Try not to quote images. There is no need for it. If you wish to quote a post that contains an image just remove the link from the quote.
  • Image macros will be confined to Completely Unrelated. There is no reason for them to be elsewhere as they add nothing to the discussion. This is not /b/.

Posting to Specific Boards
General guidelines on what should be posted where. These will be enforced. Obviously there will be some overlap between boards and there may be some confusion on which area a topic should reside in. Any gray area on where a topic should go will be decided by a moderator.

General Discussion
This is the "catch all" forum. Feel free to post anything pertaining to one of the Final Fantasies. If you don't think your thread really fits in any of the other forums, putting it here is just fine.

Audio/Graphical/Gameplay/Other Mods
These forums are for incomplete mods. Try to use common sense when creating threads; your custom Cloud model may be beautiful, but it doesn't belong in Audio mods.
     Releases
     These subforums are for released mods. As a general rule these should be pretty much complete.

Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver
This forum is only for Aali's driver. If you're playing FF7 for the PC, chances are you either ARE using this, or should be. Only Aali can post in the release thread. All questions/comments related to his driver go in the other one.

Tools
This forum is what makes EVERYTHING possible. Only threads containing programs that edit the game go here. No need for an example on this one. Programs only.

Troubleshooting
For ANY problems or questions about the game. However, if your problem concerns a specific program or mod, it will make it a lot easier to help if you post in the thread where you downloaded it.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering
This forum is about further advancement of editing the game. If there is something you would like to edit about the game (not concerning models), but can't find any info on how to do it, put your question here. If you've been exploring the game engine and found something new and useful, put it here.

Archive
Older threads. No posting here, just a reference for old times' sake.

Completely Unrelated
Anything goes. Things unrelated to Final Fantasy, image macros, double posting, reviving year old topics, and L337 $P34|<.  However, all the big rules still apply.

Q-Gears/FF7Voice/Team Avalanche
These forums are only for their respective projects. If you've got something to say or ask about one of them, it goes in here.


Use Meaningful, Specific Subject Headers
When posting a new thread, consider the subject header carefully. The subject is your opportunity to attract people to your thread, so it's in your own best interests to use it properly.

Stupid: HELP ME!!

Smart: Help required with getting model into FF7

Smarter: FF7 model importing issues - problem with assigning textures.


Treat People With Respect
Be courteous, polite and show respect to others. Use of the forums is a privilege, not a right. Being a d*ck may get you warned. It may get you moderated. You might get banned for being a d*ck. Even if you are right and someone else is wrong, keep things civil. Incendiary comments directed at individuals or groups of members are not allowed.

If you really can't get along with someone, you can put them on ignore. But don't mention the fact you're ignoring someone as a taunt or parting shot - just do it quietly. Telling someone you're ignoring them to insult them is prohibited.


We Hate Spam
We don't want to buy your WOW gold, mobile phones or shoes. We already know where the porn is on the internet, so we don't need links to that either.

Post any of this and you will be banned.

Actually, you're best off not advertising anything on this site that isn't helpful to creating for or learning about Final Fantasy. If you feel you need to advertise anything, there are literally thousands of other forums where you can do that.


We Are Not Your "Blog"
What we mean by this, is please don't create mindless threads that are extremely off-topic.

If you have a topic of reasonable discussion to post, then by all means, please post away and let the intelligent discussion begin. However, we do not want to see random posts of "I ate cookies today" or "My car is blue", etc. etc. Even within the Completely Unrelated forum, there is no place on Qhimm for such threads. They provide no topic for discussion and are generally useless and become filled with useless replies.

"More mods, less words" is a good mantra to go by when considering yourself a contributing member of the Qhimm community.

We generally hand out Warnings for such threads, so please think about what it is you'd like to post, and how it will benefit a community of video game artists and modders.


Avatars
Avatars are a privilege not a right. Keep to these rules regarding avatars or suffer the consequences.
  • Maximum picture size - 100x100 pixels
  • Maximum file size - 10kb

Multiple Accounts
There is absolutely no reason to have more than one account. If you wish to change your display name you can change it in your profile. If anyone is found with more than one account they risk both accounts being banned.


Reporting Posts
We ask users that see a violation of the rules to use the report post function. This will give all moderators notice that an infraction has occured. Posting in the thread itself is not advised. eg: Do not post in a thread that was inactive for years. Just because someone else necro'd a topic doesn't mean it is ok for others to post in it. Moderators can't be everywhere at once... These are your forums, if you see a problem, report it. Please note that reporting PMs is currently broken.

Only use the report button to report actual rule infractions. Do not use it to report mods or tools that don't work, missing download links, members being unable to solve your problems despite their best effort, or updates that take longer than you hoped. If you cannot cite the exact rule being broken, chances are pretty good you shouldn't be reporting the post. Abuse of the report button will lead to warnings and potential moderation.


Warnings
A warning system is in place to help enforce the rules. To help you understand how the system works I will outline it below. Keep in mind each day that passes the warning level will lower by 2% until you are back at 0, at which point the icon will be removed from your username. (but off course you will never be warned, right?)

Level 1 (1-20%) Watched - User is placed on a moderator watch list. This allows moderators to see how frequently a user is breaking the rules. A green icon will appear under your username. This type of warning is simply to record what rule a user has broken.

Level 2 (21-40%) Moderated - User is placed in a moderator approval mode. This means that any posts that the user makes will need to be approved before the post is actually posted. A user will be moderated if rules are being broken at a frequent rate. Users may still gain more warnings in regards to the content of the posts awaiting approval.

Level 3 (41%+) Muted - User is banned from posting entirely, but will still be able to read posts. This type of warning will be dealt if the rule breaking appears deliberate and defiant. The only time you will see this is when a permanent ban is being considered. If you reach this level it is a good idea to really reflect on what you've done and plead your case to the moderators/admins as soon as you can.


Private Messages
Users must have a minimum of five posts before they are able to send PMs. Do not post spam or meaningless threads to raise your post count, as such posts will be deleted, will not count toward the minimum, and may result in a warning. The same rules apply to PMs that apply to the public boards.



If you feel there is something that needs changing, post it here. Any personal complaints should be taken to a moderator or staff member (Obesebear, sl1982, halkun, Bosola, Covarr, EQ2Alyza, Vgr) via Private Message.

Completely Unrelated / Apology
« on: 2011-02-25 02:26:29 »
So I just took like... I don't know... 2-3 hours pruning my inbox and realized I used to enjoy coming around here and actually had some friends until I was given THE POWER!  In my effort to get this site to be what it used to, I've started getting more and more frustrated with the slightest breaking of any rule, treating any and all "newbies" as if they were the same person repeatedly breaking the smallest rule.

I feel like there is no longer a warm welcome to newcomers, and I know I personally immediately look for what they're doing wrong.  And I don't like that...  So no more.   Tomorrow is Friday, which means no school.  I'm going to go back through the rules and completely revise them and put them in the FAQ section.  90% of newbies won't be reading the rules no matter how many places it's posted, so we'll just keep the one.

I hate that I've become so bitter towards this forum, so along with the new rules will be my new attitude.  Slowly but surely I developed an elitist "better than thou" persona and I really don't like it.   And also out goes the nitpicking.   If you guys see something happening you don't like, report it.  Otherwise I'll just be chilling unless I notice something EXTREMELY wrong.  These are your forums after all, and all the nitpicking I've been doing only serves to make me even more bitter.

So there it is. I'm sorry.  Now time to turn over a new leaf.  :?:

Let's get it started!  Thanks again, Aali, for all your hard work.

Actually, let me start by asking why all the modifications to .7 instead of a .8 release?

This is not the latest version of Aali's driver. Please see http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=11992.0 for the next release. - Bosola
