Kind of, yeah. This is the extent of our capabilities though:

Right now it is exclusively a feature of Echo-s and can only be seen if also using either Finishing Touch avatars or Phoenix Tail Avatars. However, the idea is to eventually bring it to the base game (will still require one of the avatar mods).

The avatars are now supported in the ESUI controller addon which is a mod that enhances the vanilla gameplay, exactly as Bonez said it requires a avatar pack that supports the feature such as "Finishing Touch".  They are also supported in the Echo-S voice acting mod which has a Midgar demo released.

Sweet! Does it work with the "minmin" avatar pack?

I have added the rescaled map into a test build and will post a link in the next few days, but I currently do not know the opcode for changing the world map transparency, it probably would be better disabled or with reduced intensity so I may look into it soon.

Hey Chrysalis,

Any updates on this?

On another subject, would it be possible to mod FF7 to have full textbox portraits? Some modders for the Pixel Remaster FF games have succeeded in implementing it.

I'm aware that FF7's engine is super old and decrepit, so I'm crossing my fingers that this might also be possible here, knowing full well that it probably isn't.

Thanks

Hey DV,

Your mod is amazing. I checked the youtube videos in your post on the steam forums, and it's very impressive.

I'll be sure to use your mod when I eventually play the game on PC!

-Now all FMV are not chibi version (Thanks Cosmos)

Is this optional? I would venture that most people would prefer sticking to upscales of the FMVs as they were designed by Square. I would prefer it this way too.

Hey Reiletuag,

Great job! Looks really slick.

Could I request that you do the same with the OG avatars? Or the ones from the Minmin pack in the catalogue (which seem to be cleaned-up versions of the OG avatars)?

« on: 2021-11-07 14:06:13 »

Hey Sega Chief,

I've played the game for a bit in a while. I have the "field music during battles" parameter activated. It works, except for the fanfare when winning a battle. That music still plays.

Could I request that the mod be updated so that "field music during battles" also disables the win fanfare? I'd love for the field music to play uninterrupted when I'm playing. It makes the game quite a bit more immersive.

Thank you!

Guys I think I'm missing something.

If I use New Threat 1.5 it works straight away but it disable all my graphic and sound mods
if I use New Threat 2.0 it has compatibility issue with cosmo  Memory and disable all my graphic and sound mods as well.

I have only issues with this mod btw everything else work perfectly.

Any help please?

In case you are not using the latest version of 7th Heaven, I suggest grabbing the latest version. It can be gotten on the program's official page on Github, here:

How much demand is there for a Windows Store version of the mod? I can't imagine it being strong.

I don't mean to be insensitive, but is it really worth your time to be working on this?

Would there be any interest from the modding community here to tackle these games by giving them a new and better font? I'm really loving everything about these remasters except for the font. It needs a pixel font to go with the rest of the pixel look.

Not a fan but for those interested, this is how it looks:

I like it! What about it do you not like?

Would it be possible to make the map opaque instead of transparent? Usually, the big map isn't used by players while they move around, so having it be opaque wouldn't be a hindrance of any sort. I'm thinking that it might look better if it were opaque. What do you think?

oh wow this is much better than the previous jpg! Nice.

Hopefully you guys are able to make it work properly in the game. It's a really sweet map.

The previous one was resized 400% compared to the original.

This one is 800% bigger than vanilla:

Edit: Here's a massive 1600% scaled texture (for those using 8K monitors I guess):
https://i.imgur.com/5H5PDii.jpg

Sweet! Those are more like it.

In case it was missed, the darker version of the map that I posted on the previous page (link: https://i.imgur.com/2JFpt65.jpeg) is in a whopping 6849x5093 resolution, at a pretty clear image quality (few artifacts, from what I can see). I don't know how the modding process works; I just wanted to bring attention to it in case it could help you guys with your workload.

Thanks again for working on this.

EDIT:
Oh, for my curiosity again, could you tell me why the maps linked in your post have a lot of white space around them? Is that something that the FF7 engine requires for the mod to work?

Try this one: midlmap_00

It was made in a rush but shouldn't look too bad.

Damn, that's sweet. Thank you for contributing to this!

I'm curious about the image's resolution; it's lower than either of the other images. Was it not possible to keep the same resolution after applying some modifications to the image?

Ok I have looked at the map, and compared it to other textures, there is one showstopper along with some other minor problems.


The showstopper is that the scale is not right so wouldnt be shown accurately in the game, the map is beautiful so I am prepared to try and make this work but its going to need time to edit it to fit in the game, whether thats me doing it or asking the original author to carry it out.  For this reason it will not be in the next build of ESUI which will be released soon however I am prepared to put it in a future release.


I am attaching how it looks currently.  Can see I am to the left of the desert and the dot is in the desert, there needs to be more sea either side  the map and top and bottom, plus there is no markers for key locations which I will work on adding.

Damn, that's a bummer.

If you intend on taking your time to make the map work, I say to you godspeed and thank you!

Do you want me to get in contact with the author of the map? I could tell her to get in contact with you so you could talk about this issue. Perhaps she'd be willing to help or contribute. Though do you have her twitter, so perhaps you don't need me as a middle-man.

Let me know!

This is fantastic work, Cloudiar! Wow.

I like this new lobby a lot more than the one that was used in the game. It feels more realistic and alive.

Hopefully other modders use it! This is the type of stuff I'd love to see in Sega Chief's New Threat Game Type B.

Keep up the great work!

Also, the "F12" shortcut is to toggle on and off the debug menu from the game window, not from notepad lol

lmfao. Thank you.

So from reading further, this F12 debug menu seems to be used to modify the lighting feature in various ways, and not to activate or deactivate it, correct? It feels like the FFNx.toml file is where the feature would be toggled on or off, but my issue is that I can't find anything in that file that relates to the lighting feature. I have 7th Heaven 2.3.1.0 installed, as well as the latest stable version of FFNx (obtained from the 7th Heaven General Settings menu).

Is the lighting feature only available from the "canary" channel?

I don't get the point of removing my presentation, it's only a few second FMV to show you're using my work...

I very much understand that, and I appreciate the work you put into your mod. But from a user POV, having the video play everytime that they launch the game is a bit much. It adds up over time.

Moreover, there are a lot of mods available for this game. If more mods started putting a short video that plays when launching the game, as a form of signature, it would end up overwelming pretty quickly. There's probably a conversation that should be had amongst modders about establishing a rule against such a practice.

Lastly, when only one mod amongst many installed has a signature opening video, it feels a bit gauche. "Why this mod but not that one?", one might ask.

I think having the video play by default is fine. But the addition of a parameter in the mod's settings letting the user turn off the playback of the video would be appreciated.
