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

[FantasticMrSocks]

download 1998 1.02 executable.  it was a released patch.  place in root folder and use that instead of steam launcher.

I did this, and the flickering help window still appears.

[paraemuladores]

Worked perfectly! Now it works in fullscreen. One more thing: I see, is that, for example, the Cosmo Canyon backgrounds and the Cosmo Area fighting backgrounds aren't replaced. It also happens at the beginning of the game. The world textures seems to be fine. In case it helps, here are my options, I tried tweaking a little, but counld'nt solve the problem:

thats nothing that can be solved from options.ini, if you need help with mods refer to a post by kuraudo on page 220 (reunion itself doesnt update backgrounds)

and make sure you set audio_log_level to 0 instead of 4, it causes game to crash

also read the first post and help file.  and queries regarding other mods needs a new thread

I see. Thanks for the replys.

These are official, DVD-format versions of the cutscenes, so maybe they can be used as the basis for a new FMV upscale project.

Also, to anyone having issues with The Reunion help bar flashing, I need you to join Discord and we can try a few things.

I had this issue and after some trial and error I fixed it by setting:

Battle_Key_Press = n

i think it is n by default

Hi folks. I'm here to report a 'hang', I think it's called, but first of all I just wanted to say that this mod is absolutely amazing and it's helped me re-discover my love for this wonderful game. That's why I so desperately want to find a solution to this glitch.

The glitch:
-After beating Demon Gate at the Temple of the Ancients, I get the whole scene with Cait Sith sacrificing himself. After that, the camera shows Cloud and Aerith before the temple. The camera pans up and the temple disappears - and then nothing else happens. I can still hear background sounds from the forest, but nothing works (Pressing buttons). I get no crash report.

I tried doing the sequence with the translation turned off (Like with the Nibelheim glitch), but when I do so the game 'hangs up' right after Cait Sith accepts to read Aerith her and Cloud's fortune (Right after the Demon Gate fight).

I've tried turning off every option in the config, but nothing works.

Specs and logs:

-Other questions:
I was wondering where the save files for the Reunion are? The main folder only seems to have the saves from the normal Steam version, since if I start the game with The Reunion turned off none of my saves show up until I reactivate it.

I'm asking because I really want to finish the game, and wouldn't mind switching over to the regular Steam version with these saves. But that doesn't seem to work?

EDIT: Okay, I figured out the last part - I transferred the save from the Reunion to the Steam save folder in My Documents and opened the game with the Reunion turned off. I'll see if I can then get through this section and turn the Reunion back on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I apologize if it's been reported already but I promise I did try checking with crt + H in the reunion database! Anyways, Cloud's battle model has a miscolored right thigh (rtba), leg (rtbb), and hip (rtam) parts. Those parts look more like a aquamarine-like color while the rest of his outfit is purple.

I confirmed that the miscoloring is also present on the "hi poly" cloud model, because I tried to fix it by copying those parts over (siba, sibb, and siam).

As a quick and dirty fix I deleted those parts and the chest parts (rtan and sian), which made the clothing portion less poly but at least a matching color.

[DLPB_]

it is and that isn't the cause .. or shouldn't be

[DLPB_]

I did this, and the flickering help window still appears.

   and you used it instead of the launcher right?  directly opened it?

[Zacksu]

Amazing work on this mod.....By any chance is there a download mirror?

[DLPB_]

ff7.exe   N/A   The naming screen can use keyboard input, which interferes with directional keys on the same screen.   ?   DLPB   R06e


-- Who was it that submitted this bug?  It's not a Reunion bug but I've fixed it anyway.

[north101]

   and you used it instead of the launcher right?  directly opened it?

No, i'm using the launcher.

it is and that isn't the cause .. or shouldn't be

I was just stating what worked for me. a bit more info:
I installed Reunion r6d turned on a bunch of settings and noticed that the help bar was flashing. Turned all of them off and then 1 by 1 changed the settings to what I wanted (restarting the game in between) until I found the setting that caused the help bar to flash and that was the setting.

[DLPB_]

I also need someone to add 1.02 1998 exe to root and directly click on it to open game without the launcher - to rule out Steam.

[DLPB_]

Hold that - it turns out it is Battle_Key_Press = y  having an effect on this. I didn't see it was active in stylesismilo's original report.

I've replicated it now.  Will fix it. 

Fixed.  Thank you, north101 and stylesismilo.

Hello,

sorry if this has been answered but i cant seem to find it. Does this reunion mod work with the new 7th heaven 2.0? i searched for it in there but couldnt find it. so I downloaded it from this thread and now im not sure what to do.

[JustArd]

So I made this post about entering Nibhelaim, but then today version r06e was released.

So I'll just it to thank DLPB for his work, since this is my first time experiencing the game.

LATEST CHANGES
19-Apr-2020

Please see The Reunion Database for a full list of bug fixes.

Main changes:

1. The game will no longer crash at Niblheim when using Beacause
2. Additional checks made on executable integrity and which one is loaded. See The_Reunion.log in [root] folder.
3. Major memory leak causing random crashes resolved.  New Audio.log code.
4. A change to the balance, volume, or tempo no longer fails if a transition is in progress
5. The help menu will no longer flash when When Battle_Key_Press = y.
6. Airbuster bug with the direction it's facing has been recoded by Sega Chief.
7. The magic sub menu (when using restorative magic) now displays the name of the character in the middle slot.
8. The naming screen no longer accepts entry from the keyboard keys, which previously caused a major conflict.
9. When using Beacause, the game no longer has parts or discs - the disc change screen is abolished.


Still to-do

1. The finalization of Beacause with correct window positioning (for R07).
2. Finish new submarine minigame.
3. Soldier Quest (for R07).
4. Resume work on main Weapon code.
5. Chocobo Races needs updated chocobo avatars.
6. Address various bugs - especially the broken camera with 60fps Battles  - Mode 2 (Interpolated).
7. A front end for the options
8. Look into a way of dealing with the save location and sharing of save files between 1998 version/The Reunion and Steam.
9. Fix Cloud to display a sword in Aerith's house when on the bed and correctly animate.
10. Look into supporting more functions and buttons on joypads.
11. Add sword to Cloud in various scenes that were missed by accident in the original game.


I would very much appreciate it if people helped me seed and test the current download

Full download mirrors are also appreciated.

Note:

If your keyboard does not have a numpad / cannot detect the numpad, please delete ff7input.cfg from the root folder prior to loading the game for the first time.

Once ff7input.cfg is deleted, the default keys will be:

            Circle / Confirm:  L
          X / Cancel:        M
          Triangle / Menu:   P
          Square / Switch:   J
          L1 / Scroll up:    2
          R1 / Scroll down:  8
          L2 / Camera:       4
          R2 / Target:       0
          Select / Assist:   Backspace
          Start / Pause:     Enter
          Up:                W
          Down:              S
          Left:              A
          Right:             D

Please set new keys and controls from the main game's Config submenu (Controls > Customize).

[orichalcon]

so we should leave the audio_log_level alone after ro6e installation, correct?

EDIT: just making sure...

[DLPB_]

The bug is resolved, so yeah.
