The Reunion is complete... but I will wait until the forum is said to be stable before I go about adding links and sorting this thread.

A lot of other updates have been annihilated thanks to the host crash.

I am going to be overhauling this entire thread soon and all other threads...  so keep your eyes peeled.  Got an action plan now on how to proceed.

Also this thread should really be moved to gameplay because it is much more than graphical updates now.

Another quick question for when this mod is released... how will I go about installing it? I use the BFE, will it work with that? Or will I be able to install it on an already modded FF7 and it will just overwrite the old mod?

BFE is the Bootleg Front End, that thingy that installs all of the mods and what not.

It will only work with Bootleg if Pitbrat adds it.

Reunion is not even released... you can do nothing until it is.  It will be installable at first using the installer I create.

In this release, Kernels have not been touched (apart from translation option which changes all text).  Once I start going into my difficulty mod more, scene and kernels will also be changed by the Weapon option.


Translation:

This one was a bitch to do...  It still sounds crap, but it did in the Japanese too.  I still made it an improvement though:)  The one problem I have at moment is the translation project clashes with the ordinary script when I change things for Weapon.  Means more work.

original
Code: [Select]
“This attraction is the
Shooting Coaster.”{NEW}
“While your ride's going ZOOM, you're
going BANG BANG, and things are going
PHEW PHEW and you destroy them with a
big BOOM. Pretty simple, isn't it?”{NEW}
“Oh, to shoot, hit {PURPLE}[OK]{WHITE}.
The bar on the
left side of the screen is
your Power Meter.”{NEW}
“When it's full, it'll go BROOOOOM and
when it's empty, it'll only go
…brm…and putter out.
So be careful.”{NEW}
“If you make it to the Top 3,
you'll get on the Wall of Fame.”

only thing with that text that conserns me is the KABLAM and psh. KABLAM sounds like something exploding destruction loudly and psh sounds like someone using brakes of a car

Also, I imagine lasers going "PEW PEW" not "PHEW PHEW". They aren't sighing from relief at all...

Other then that, seems to be making the absolute best of some shonky dialogue!

psh I have no probem with because it sounds crap which is the intent... there's no way to write what that sound is.  kablam possibly needs amending, but the person who is describing it does not have to be talking accurately when they are explaining a ride's noises for the purpose of getting a message across.

Pew, I agree on.

Oh, nevermind on my question on the Beacause thread, I found it! I'll continue to stalk the progress from here!

I have a question - we're going to be able to install only parts of this mod pack, right? I'm only going to want the Retranslation when it's complete (I assume that will need the menu overhaul with it to actually work right) and not the others.

For now you can install any of the mods separately.  If it becomes hassle for me, it will end up being certain ones merged *for example weapon + translation.  For now it is separate.

The Iscar mod will very likely be part of the translation project as an optional add on.

I'm gonna go ahead and move this to Other Mods, since it's quite a bit more than just graphics at this point, and it can't really be classified to any one category anymore.

Cool! I'm mainly just after an accurate translation myself, and the bonus bosses are far from an essential part of the story (if I recall correctly, they weren't even in the Japanese games until the International version). As long as the removal of Cait Sith remains wholly optional I'll be happy!

Hopefully I won't... it's just a real nightmare though.  Whenever I add an item to the script text it means I have to create 2.  one for the translation version and one for without.  So it's a duplication of effort, and then if theres a problem with one of the texts, I have to edit 2.

This is the reason I don't support the other hardcore mods around here with translation option... because then it would be even more work.  It's also why Cait option is an add on to translation and not a separate.  There are numerous mods around here...  it might be sensible in time for people to simply install full setups and be able to select them, rather than endlessly fighting with various changes.

Wonder square is almost done.  Coaster is done so is script. 
Submarine is half done but I will leave that for now.
Installer is almost done.

It won't be too long.

Man, I feel for you. I'm no programmer, so I can't really empathize, but I super respect what you guys are doing. I mean, I've spent years being pretty certain I was going to have to learn Japanese to play this game right and you guys are here being awesome!
