If you're using Photoshop, when you are reducing to 2x are you using Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction) or Nearest Neighbor (preserve hard edges)? Bicubic sharper will sharpen the image whereas nearest neighbor will simply resize it without any filters.


Yeah, but as I stated there is a drop in quality...

As you can see the difference is slight. But noticeable.

Mr Valle there is no need... Aali's driver reads these from the mod folder.

But im playing the re-release of FFVII and aalis driver dont work with that. Thats why im wondering. It would rock my world if there is a workaround for this.

Not for me.
Or anyone who doesn't care about crappy achievements, derp saves and hacks.
That means: everyone who actually plays videogames instead of fails at them.

I believe instead of making fun of the persons choices for wanting to simply modify the original flevel.lgp it would be better to answer their question. Or don't respond to them if you don't know the answer. I personally have been working on doing exactly the same thing they are asking about. And the problem I am running in to is repacking the new field maps into the original .dec for each field location. This is partially due to having to first reconstruct the original full maps from the files that the driver reads.

Im sure on smaller screens like mine you won't notice the jaggy lines on 2x but of course if it's a bigger screen it's much more visible, perhaps there can be 2 versions?

Omzy, would it be possible to get a zip of all of the original files. non-converted for the driver?
Example: These files
Code: [Select]
mds7_0_00000000.png mds7_0_00000128.png mds7_0_00000129.pnginstead of these files.
Code: [Select]
mds7_00_00.png mds7_01_00.png mds7_02_00.png mds7_03_00.png

PitBrat is aiming for Bootleg 0040 to automatically convert and patch the 2012 FF7, so there will be options in the future. Run Bootleg 0040 or wait for the above poster to make the lgp file. Your call  :)

Chill, Kuugen. Preferring the old version is just fine. Getting nasty about it and flaming is not.

Sorry for the questions but, is it possible to make an working lgp file with the Omzys field pack? If so could i trouble someone to write a fast tutorial on that?

EDIT: I will have to wait for bootleg 0040

I and many others have downloaded it quickly (Google Drive is the best) and no files were corrupted.

This is currently all you can use with the 2012 version: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13424.0

To fully mod the game, you will need to convert to the 1998 version.

This is FacePalmer's textures. We report the bugs here, and he releases new packs with the fixes. Until the next release of Bootleg, it requires a manual install which is to simply copy/paste them to ...\mods\Bootleg\field inside your FF7 installation folder.

Thanks a lot for your answer. So, this pack is exactly the same thing than FacePalmer + the 4 files(FixedLightingTextures, FixedMissingFiles, etc..) ?
