At first I rolled my eyes at this post but decided to post anyways just to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Read the boards for a bit. You'll see what is optional and not. Plus what is currently being done.

So far some members I think are doing an advent children combat and field avatar set to go with menu avatars. This may include weapons too.

As to what I'm guessing you are saying which would be, "mod ff7 to take on the same story and scenes as Advent children" very, very tough mod to do since we can only change so much of game scenario. Besides that I'm not sure if anyone would play it unless someone made an independant game from the original so that combat in advent children style is more like dissidia gameplay.

nice, some of the models I wanted were on that link.

yeah and thanks for pointing out the crisis core idea.

Also we should probably do all advent children outfits. Anyone working on a project like that?

Kimera will definantly get its use in. Especially since I would like to try and fix chaos to look like DOC chaos.

Alright, sometimes something pops into our head where we think, haha if it were possible it would be hilarious and or awesome.
Well I bring to you the thread of random and awesome ideas for character changes thread.

Now I'm not talking about ideas like "make cloud into ultimate weapon and have battle animations." sorry but no.

I'm talking about funny ideas for alternative outfits for the characters like

Cloud in his dress for all the time, plus battle.
Same with Tifa and Aerith
Barret in his Sailor outfit
RedXIII in his shinra grunt uniform.
Sephiroth smexily walking around shirtless all the time.
Tifa in her Nibelheim incident outfit (hat and all)
Cloud and Tifa in their kid outfits
Vincent in his turk uniform.

Also new characters based on characters ingame

Clouds Mother fighting with him (spotted the idea in another thread, will give credit if person quotes me)
Zangan! I want to fight alongside Zangan!
Dio
Palmer as a party member
Team up with hojo XP
Snow woman from great glacier
Priscilla (girl cloud saves with mouth to mouth.


and other random funkiness from other posters

if only it were that easy lol. But I dont think anyone would tackle this kind of project. Not unless they knew what they were doing or had a better idea of streamlining the program.

Alright, taken a break from working on text portion. Currently using any mad movie skills I have to edit the movies.

I want to check in to see if
How much of actual events can one block, change, etc. in the game?
Is there any way to add new NPC's in the game.

I'm also trying to figure out certain parts of the story just in case I can't edit the game events too much. Alot of examples is when cloud has his inner voice or fights his subconscious. Example is the scene in the honey bee in when he has his figure walking towards him. Also another story change is the scene where cloud remembers his own story in the lifestream. How am I supposed to explain that!? And Zack's death scene. Unless I somehow edit the text to make it appear he could survive being filled with bullets. Also talking to his parents in gongaga. Lots of little details like that.

How possible is it to add new party members? Not by replacing other ones. I was thinking I could add cloud as an extra just so he isnt completely out of the story. It'd be funny to add angreal just for kicks.

And yes this seems like alot I am saying I'm taking on but I might as well. Just came back from a year in Americorps (domestic peace corps basically) and no job yet so I have plenty of time to work on this.

So just checking in on the facts

A) the game counts the frames of the movie, so any edits we make to the movie will only work with the right amount of frames?

Basically in my zack project, I'm trying to edit some of the movies so that it is Zack instead of cloud. There will be demo material out of some stuff Square has made and best edits i can do to make him appear on some of the videos. (Example, the scene where cloud places aerith in the lake, I'm trying to edit the back of clouds head to look like zack, patially using images from crises core art and movies.)

I would not trust getting the PSX versions viewable, rippable, or even useable by the pc version. What I do suggest is if you or anyone else has some skill in photoshop, please try and fix up the images.

Not true to the original?
Anyways I'll check out both. I have ways of running at least 3 or 4 different ff7 games from off my computer and flash drives. Try out different mods for each one yeah. If I can get both Scorpicus and Bringhate's permission I'll probably rip both patches apart for resources.

Please carry further discussion of my Zack Patch to the Zack thread. I thank you for the information as of far but I think that having one main thread for the Zack patch will help in gathering ideas and such.

Yeah, I wasnt sure it is possible either. At least not for someone that doesnt have a team and everyone is willing to put in the effort and time. Since FF7 mods are just hobby deals cant depend on people going gung ho at a project like putting together new characters. Not from scratch mind you, I was thinking of taking characters like dyne, palmer, rufus, random soldier or grunt, etc. that have both field and battle models. Dont know what to do with limit breaks but I bet most of anything else should work alright.

Archive / A few random ideas I have

« on: 2008-12-26 03:37:19 »

I have a few other mod ideas besides my zack one I recently posted.

-Red XIII replaced with grunt RedXIII from going on shinra ship scene. I think this is possible both on regular scenes and battle. For battle it is basically replacing redXIII with a grunt form and actions. Maybe some edits to limit breaks and the like. Just that the grunt has redXIII tail.

-Crisis Core Music replacement: Sorta goes with my zack mod idea but I just like crisis core music over regular gameplay. I can probably try and do this one and update the board on it.

Fill in the last space for bizzarro sephiroth: I cant believe no one has tried to fix this. You know how you can get three groups to fight bizarro sephiroth and the last group has only two fighters. Need that space to fill in with third fighter. Who to fill it in with is hacked or modded character (reinsert aerith maybe)

-Extra party members: People that can be added to the PHS after certain trigger in the game. These people will be various NPC's with their map and battle forms. They all get basic dialogue for story scenes or they dont show up at all for story scenes (Probably have a default party reset trigger at the start of certain events to stop ff7 from crashing)

More and edits as we go.

Archive / Tweak ff7 storyline for Zack as main character. (Opening Movie Link ADDED!)

« on: 2008-12-26 02:39:14 »

I've seen some of the edits done on this site and been a fan of final fantasy seven for years. I've tried once or twice before on different little mods but mostly for fun and not going after big projects. I would like to take on trying to edit the game as much as possible to make Zack the main character of FF7.

My main deal is that I'll be editing the dialogue. Since I've played with different character replacements and made various dialogue patches. I would be willing to share those except I blew out that laptop to give to my cousin for xmas.

Anyways starting from scratch again so downloading editing programs, plus blender to make 3d edits. In later versions I may end up using blender and a few other programs to patch movies to make zack appear (probably using whatever skin resource I can get from crisis core zack).

So who would be willing to contribute previous mods for more editing, help with new fixes, make suggestions, do a certain portion of the dialogue, help create script, etc.?

Edit: either have him as main or replacing another character would be interesting.
