Libraries:
Libraries are code that many program shares. For exemple you if you have some programes that shares some parts of the code code you can make a file that will have this code part and the programes just call to the libraries for this part of the code... Basicaly it help making the code of a program a little less messy.
Ficedula.dll (http://www.sylphds.net/f2k3/programs/ficelib/ficelib151a.zip) [Finished I think]
Many ficedula's programes will need this library
Well that's all for now I will continue later.
Since then give me your suggestion of project I should add and the info you can find about them (not just the patches but also programs)

How's about something like this: http://wiki.qhimm.com/FF7/Technical/Customising ?
That way it's on the Qhimm Wiki so we don't have to worry about leaving updates in one person's hands, especially if they disappear after a while or the links need updating (saves asking a mod to edit the post for updates). We could also then just replace the out-of-date sticky we currently have with one link that points straight into the Wiki.

I have closed elentors topic and made this topic sticky.

Download links:
Skerb.exe (http://dziugo.republika.pl/ff7/skerb/skerb.rar) (see readme inside)
Patch (http://dziugo.republika.pl/ff7/skerb/patches/LimitBreaking.rar) (see readme inside)
Usage (probably the easiest way):
1) Download both files and unpack them
2) Put patch.srb with ff7.exe and Skerb.exe
3) Run Skerb.exe and press any key when it asks you to do so
4) Rename ff7.exe to something like backup_ff7.exe
5) Rename patched_ff7.exe" to ff7.exe
6) Check if it works
If there was any error message, you've probably done something wrong. Recheck everything, see both readmies and try again. If there is still a problem, PM me or post it here.
Enjoy!

As far as I've read, this project is dead.

A couple things I noticed:
1. Yellow text must go, it's burning my retinas :-P
2. Ficedula's Cosmo program is listed twice
3. You should group the programs by functionality and by author (like elentor)
Other then that good job! I'll see if I can find some of M4v3r's programs (Sapphire, Emerald and Omega Weapon)
-
RPGillespie:
1. You're right the yellow isn't a good idea... I gonna change it someday.
2. fixed thanks for telling me.
3. Well what I will probably do is to group them in fonctionality and do subgroups by authors... because in my opinion.. when you're searching a program, it's not the author that is important but what it will do. Well anyways for now I'll just gather the more program I can and I'll see later for the groups...
Bane King:
I gonna add this as soon as I have more time.
-
excuse me, but why is the Sephiroth Patch not listed here?
-
Dark_Ansem: Well... It just that I didn't thought about it.. it's now listed hehe.
Bane King: I added the 9999 Limit Breaking patch
RPGillespie: I changed the Yellow text to Orange :-P.

*cough Sonic patch http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=6206.0 cough*

As far as I've read, this project is dead.
...Not much more can be done for the 9,999 limit break patch.
-
owell...beggers can't be choosers but this will do very nicely anyways ;)
-
You may also wanna link D's cheating programs (such as all Yeah!s for tifa, controllable BA/Cait limit slots) and the like.
Good list so far, looks veddy veddy niiize =)
-
Just FYI, Scenster is incomplete and has some important bugs in it too - mainly Element weakness bugs.
-
May I ask what happened to the frame rate patch for the minigames? Is that still beta or did it get finished? :lol:

Also, Q-gears has a proper homepage now....

That's a great idea!! Then they could pay for the bandwidth overages!! What a dumb idea to link it to the project page on Sourceforge, where you will always get the most up to date version.
Edit:
Sorry for going off topic. A great thread stormmedia!
-

It's all the same website. I just have control over how some of it looks.
-
-.-'' maybe i said somthing wrong...or its just me lol... :|
-
Bit of a silly question, that's all. :-)
Like halkun said, it actually is the same website, not to mention that that's how sourceforge(t) works - all sites that use it (have to) use the same system for downloads.

oh..thx for tellin me this :-D sorry but im such an n00b :roll:

3. YAMP - Yet Another Multi-Patcher (http://fem1.uniag.sk/Miroslav.Jezik/ff7/3._YAMP_-_Yet_Another_Multi-Patcher__by_dziugo.zip) by dziugo (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1660)
(...)
3. - MiniGamesPatch - This program will enable a frame limiter for the Bike, Snowboarding and Rollercoaster Minigames and for battleswirl effect. It allows minigames to run at normal, manageable speeds on mid-to-high-end systems.
It ALSO helps to solve crashing issues that some people may experience with the snowboarding game.
This ALSO has integrated BattleSwirlFix which fixes an issue with FF7 crashing randomly when entering battles (mostly after Alt+Tabbing out of game and then returning)
- TransparentDialogBoxesPatch - Will make the big blue dialog boxes transparent.
- NoDialogBoxesPatch - Will make the dialog boxes vanish and only text appear (will overwrite the TransparentDialogBoxesPatch).
- 9999LimitBreakingPatch - Removes the 9999 limit for HP/MP/Damage in your FF7 allowing to go above this number. See screenshot and 9999LimitBreaking.txt.
- GyptInstant - Allows you to skip FMVs when playing FF7 by pressing a hotkey. Very useful when experiencing freezes and crashes during FMV sequences. See GyptInstant.txt.
- LuckyTifa - Tifa will always get "Yeah!" in her limit break. (cheat)
- LuckyCaitSith - Allows you to manipulate CaitSith's The Slots Limit Break. (cheat)
And another thing. This High Resolution Cloud...you may wish to post this download link instead which is a self-applying patch (not just .ffpatch file):

I'll have to see what they are too before I can put them really anywhere in the wiki. It's best to be organized before you make a big mess. :D

Sorry about that, I did create that Wiki page but no-one else seemed to think it was a good idea :-D

Closed, in future everyone is to post onto the wiki.
