There, a new version of the patch that fixes mostly the bugs in the snow board minigame. It should be 100% fine now.

Releases / [BETA RELEASE] Higher Resolution FFVIIPC [v1.00]
« on: 2005-07-08 01:03:43 »Quote from: EmperorSteele
Request: Can we fix up the text at all (make it look smoother by scaling down the jaggies)? If you don't wanna be arsed, Saint, let me know what needs to be done and I'll give it a shot. I'm sure all One would have to do is find the alphabet graphics ff7 uses and edit it... though saving in an acceptable format and plugigng it back into field.lgp would probably be the pain in the arse part.
There are 2 ways around this.
1) Resize the texture files in a graphics editor, reimport it and I change the internal code to work on it.
2) I rewrite the 2D stretching code to do on the fly interpolation, which of course will fix every single texture in the game. (This is like the lowest on my priority list)
Although 2) is unlikely to happen anytime soon, I would still prefer that solution so I don't have to go through the code and fix stuff twice. You have no idea how much work it is to go through >~5MBs of assembler to fix stuff in this patch.
On a side note, I've fixed most of the problems in the snowboard game, just a few minor texture issues (The original FFVII texture engine is extremely bad at resizing)

One thing I forgot to mention.
Please ensure that your monitor / video card is able to do a resolution of 1280x960 before reporting your problem.
If your monitor / video card cannot support this resolution, the game will quit to the desktop immediately.

Yes, it was a bug / feature introduced in the NVidia patch.
On a side note, been pretty busy lately so I can't work on the patch till maybe a lot later.

Do me a favour and post screenshots and saves to the areas where the bugs occur. This helps me debug the problem quickly.
Explanations are helpful but like they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

I won't say it's impossible to fix the background texture alignment problem, but honestly speaking it will be reaaaaaly difficult and I'm gonna have to put a lot of time into it, something I seriously lack.
Also it will be hard to fix the Geforce 6 series problems as I do not own such a card. I have an ATI Radeon 9600XT atm so I can only debug ATI problems easily.
My Geforce 6600GT is due back sometime next month (it broke for some reason so I had to return it), so maybe I'll take a look then.

Quote from: The SaiNtNOTE:I can only guarantee this patch to work if you can run FF7PC 1.02 in "NVidia TNT" 640x480 Full screen mode.
Pls check that this works first before reporting a problem
*doesn't use the 1.02 patch or its nVidia mode because his 3Dfx hardware's display is fine in the first place with the original 1.00 version*
...Fiddlesticks. This means I can't use your patch, doesn't it?
I believe that it should just work in your case even if you don't tick Nvidia, since the 1.02 executable retains all functionality of the original 1.00 executable.

but its going not on the german version
Well, I have nothing planned at the moment.
I hardly have time to even finish this patch.
There, released a quick fix, not too quick really, since I had to get back from work first. All the menus in shops should work now.
Also, interpolation isn't a high priority thing on my huge list of things to do, so don't go waiting for it.
Also, I'd appreciate it if someone could post screenshots of what happens when you enable 2XFSAA on Nvidia cards with this patch. I can't do it as ATI cards get texture corruption.

Whenever I go to buy something the menus become distorted and overlap each other...
Will took a look at that when I get back home.
Would you mind posting a save game close to a store so I can check it easily?

My FF7 just stays on an infinitely black screen. The original exe seems to work fine, however.
Are you able to run the basic FF7 1.02 in 640x480 mode?

For those which the patch does not work, can you check to see if you have Win98 compatibility mode enabled for the executable?

Fixed most of the text now.
I figured out how to fix a whole bunch of texture problems, just need to actually get some free time to do it.
Posted a new picture of the fixed textures in battle.

Not possible without putting in a lot of effort.
I might consider it sometime in the future.
I'm working on ironing out all the bugs first.
Will post links to some new screenshots sometimes soon.

« on: 2004-11-15 09:20:52 »
Experience tells me that newbies hardly read the FAQ.
As such it'll be more work for the mods and admins to fix any problems caused by signatures.
Besides, the main emphasis of this place is content, not fancy display of the content. Early on, even avatars were out of the question.
Also, Seph3D's method of including a signature is out of the question.
If every member did that, the search function would lead to lots of false results.
