[FF7PC-98/Steam] Multiple mods and Modding Framework-The Reunion [R06f]

[Green_goblin]

Hi DLPB,

See mds5_m, text 2:

Code: [Select]

“You could live forever in a place
  like this and you still wouldn’t
  make enough money.”
{NEW PAGE}
“Well,how about buyin’ some
  materia,already?”
{NEW PAGE}
“I’m gonna make me some dough,
  then get the hell out of this hole.”
The first sentence doesn't make much sense I think. The character is complaining about his miserable life in the suburbs and his lack of money, so the proper sentence should be:

Code: [Select]

No matter how much money you have,
this is a horrible place to live in.

[Kaldarasha]

But the meaning is: no matter how long you live in the slums, you won't get enough money for a good life. In other words it's a bad place to get rich.

[DLPB_]

The sentence makes perfect sense.  The meaning is the same but far more natural.

No matter how much money you have,
this is a horrible place to live in.

Is ultra literal.

Also, I know I keep repeating this but...  there is no point bringing up dialogue corrections or recommendations until R07 is out... none of this is finalized - although that line likely won't be changed at all  

[Green_goblin]

Ok. In the Spanish translation we tried to use literal and easy-grasp sentences given that the game is aimed for teenagers.

[UpRisen]

The game was "marketed" for teenagers back in the late 90's. Most mod users today are going to be those same people who want to relive the experience and enhance it to where it should have been on release. Dumbing down or simplifying the dialogue because you are trying to meet a "target audiance" is a disservice to yourself and the game.

The subtle nuansces between what you and DLBP have is enough to destroy the information that the scene is portraying. The purpose of that line in particular is to hammer home the fact that above the plate is so much better than under it that its nearly impossible to "move up in the world"

[DLPB_]

The game has cross dressing, death, war, stabbings, violence, tits, and numerous characters with higher than usual language skills (Hojo, Bugenhagen, Staniv, Chekhov spring to mind) and various characters who have a completely different dialect .  Changing dialogue because teenagers are too stupid(?) to understand natural dialogue isn't a good idea and I'd certainly suggest not ever doing that. 

[Rookie_One]

Game was marketed to teenager, but was more profound than most films marketed to adults at the time

Q. Will The Reunion work with X?
A. I don't take any interest in other mods, so I don't know.

This needs to go to the 7th Heaven area.

Hello all, I'm running Windows 10, 64bit, and a fresh install of the steam version of FF7 and am trying to install The Reunion, but the screen that opens shows Sephiroth, I click next, then my window cuts off the installer and no longer works. I tried tabbing to select an entry but it just sends me back to the intro screen, leaving me forever stuck in a loop from hell. Anyone run into this before?

My guess is that you are using a high DPI screen and have scaling turned on. Try right-clicking on the desktop, choose Display Settings, and then scroll down a bit until you see Scale and Layout. See if you have a scaling percent above 100%. If so, turn it down to 100% until you finish the install.

That was it! Had to sign out of windows for the fix to work - thank you so much!

Just as a future note, if you ever have an issue with games that appear cut off in the bottom right corner, it's also due to scaling. You always have the option to just leave scaling at 100%, or you can set scaling compatibility by right-clicking on the game you're trying to run, hit Properties, then Compatibility, and finally 'Change High DPI Settings'. Messing around with the options in there usually fixes weird display issues when using scaling.

With this MOVED topic in section... for a moment I though was out. Baby Jesus Christ.

DLPB: I received a comment saying they felt like the Enemy Attack that is currently translated as "The Emperor" (official) or "The Pope" (Beacause) should really be "The Heirophant". If you want more details, let me know. I doubt you are still entertaining ideas on changes anymore, but just FYI.

[DLPB_]

That was changed ages ago   Always check The Reunion Database.

[picklejar]

Where is "The Reunion Database"?

[picklejar]

Thanks for adding that link!

[DLPB_]

I've had a lazy weekend and bank holiday Monday.  I need to get my mojo back and sort this out. I probably need to terminate my Internet connection as that's the source of most of my interruptions.

I'll get it done.  I've brought down bigger men than you, Picard.

[Cert Serth]

Let's hope we get a release before 2020. We'll need the distraction, if you take my meaning. ;P

[DLPB_]

It's very close.  But I feel like GRRM at the minute with Winds of Winter. lol.

[DLPB_]

wrong thread

Here, have this, it really does help.  It isn't syrupy, either.

I've been trying to get this thing to work properly along with The Remako texture mod. The good news is that the game is playable and the background mod seems to work.

The bad news is that I've got the following issues:

1. The menu UI during battle is messed up in a few places: the ATB bar has glitched effects, the command menu for spells is massive (scrolls infinitely), and there are some other missing elements

2. I wanted to use my DS4 to play it, and I thought the easiest method would be to add the 7th Heaven launcher as a Non-Steam Shortcut, that way I can map the keys on my controller. Currently only a few commands work, like movement and selecting, but things like cancel (and thus run) or opening the menu don't work even though I should have the right keys mapped (V for menu, B for cancel/run, etc)

3. Can the resolution be increased, or it's meant to run at the default setting?

4. There a way to skip the logos?

[Kaldarasha]

Steam has its own controller mapper DS4 isn't needed if you lunch the game through Steam
