Aali's driver [v 0.7.7] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

[Kranmer]

maybe you downloaded the offical 1.02 from a site that already had it patched, where did you get it from ? Try redownloading it from the qhimm wiki.

anyone knows how to integrate the median.post with the bloom2.post? i want the bloom effect with median, hah, i tried to integrate it myself but there is an error..

this is my code:

Code: [Select]

uniform sampler2D tex00;
uniform sampler2D tex;

uniform float height;

#define s2(a, b)            temp = a; a = min(a, b); b = max(temp, b);

Mind if I ask some questions?? What is the median.post?? What is it supposed to do in a game?? Sorry I just don't know.. Is it supposed to make it brighter like bloom.post with some difference??

Something like that, It's actually just a pre-processing filer used to remove noise in a image or video.

it makes the fonts rounder, thats the most significant thing i observed so far

[nikfrozty]

How do you know it makes the font rounder?? Do you have an image that will show the difference??

just take a look for urself.

here is what u need to change:

you have to open notepad, paste the code in, and name it median.post on ur own, then direct the postprocessing to median.post. save it in the shaders folder.

[nikfrozty]

I'll try it right away. I only edit the brightness of bloom2.post but I'll take a look at the median.post. Thanks.

[Mike.S.N_310-X]

not thing sr

[nikfrozty]

i use Fraps with latest custom graphics driver and it don't work 

Latest custom graphics driver?? I don't use it cause I see some problems in it but I read in the forums that you need a save file on all the save slots to run the game.

Also wanted to ask this but.. Can I use two .post files in the game by editing some things in the .cfg file??

i doubt so, i believe the custom ff7config has been programmed to find the post processing from the command post_source = shaders/median.post, unless Aali can release a new version where the ff7config actually goes into a for loop where it try to find post_source

• where x is the number of .post files to be read..

[nikfrozty]

Damn all we want to do like apngs and this .post needs update from Aali. But actually I salute this guy his driver made many things in the game look better and use of higher resolution texture files.
BlueTank-Thanks for the median.post men. 1 question though. Do you have any idea what numbers I can change in the median.post to make the game run faster?? Because when I use the default my game is just slow like a turtle.

[Bluetank]

comment away the codes #define mnmx6/5/4/3 and mnmx6/5/4/3(v[2], v[3], v[4], v[7]) 1 by 1 to find the most situable for ur PC.. ofc the more u comment away the graphics will look less good..

[MartialKnight]

Ok, I posted this on Tech Support, but this might be a better place.

I'm having trouble with a fresh install of the game and the remix patcher after installing a new SATA hard drive. I install the game, full install, with DirectX 5 and DirectShow checked (and yes, I have a higher version of DirectX), then install the remix patcher, enter the correct resolution, allow the registry to be edited, and when I launch the game, the opening credits don't play, just a black screen, then at the start menu the hand and text are still low-res, and there's no background graphic, just a black background and a big white "EXTER" in the lower right corner. If I select "New Game" then another black screen where the opening video should be. Can anyone tell me the proper course of action here?

P.S. Thanks for your response on Tech Support Nick, I tried compatibility mode, same problem...

[Mako]

when I launch the game, the opening credits don't play,

Cause it doesn't like you...

then at the start menu the hand and text are still low-res, and there's no background graphic

Sounds like your file directory got messed up DELETE EVERYTHING and do a fresh install. I mean Registry,Program Files,ect...Then when your finished
DO NOT  check the dx5 just the install then install Aali's drivers. Also you might want to simply change the resolution in the config file...Hope that helps!.

comment away the codes #define mnmx6/5/4/3 and mnmx6/5/4/3(v[2], v[3], v[4], v[7]) 1 by 1 to find the most situable for ur PC.. ofc the more u comment away the graphics will look less good..

I understand what you're trying to say but what is to comment away?? Do you mean I rename it?? Nah just joking I tried it and it totally worked!! Thanks for the help men. God bless you.

sounds like your problem could be that your you have a either save games missing or ff7input.cfg missing, if you look in the app.log file it should say if there is a missing file, or if you want to post your app.log here it may be more usefull in helping you.

I don't think Aali has added support for the spanish version of FF8 yet (i could be wrong but i don't think he has)
EDIT1-
From the looks of things the only one currently supported it the English version of FF8 1.2

I have just had a quick look and it does appear to be in the autodetect for Aali's driver so it is supported, so the reason it properly isn't working is most likely due to this line in your app.log
INFO: Auto-detected version: FF8 1.2 US English (Nvidia)
that shows your using 1.2 English but you have the Spanish game, this could very well be the problem, The only things i can suggest is finding the 1.2 Spanish EXE (i don't know where to find that since i only have the English version)

That's it?

Edit: lol, it looks like i've fixed this problem, your post was very helpfull! I've created a new empty "ff7input.cfg", then opened ff7.exe. Another problem occured, it was that save problem... so i've copied my old saved games and... voila! Thank you man!

So... there is another noob question:
What other mods i need for ff7, so the game can look better? This driver enhances the look of models, right? And what about textures? They look awful...

Read the forums and pick out what you want. I recommend Team Avalanche's World Map Reconstruction Project, APZ Cloud, and the Phoenix Rejuvenation Project; just to name a few.

When are you going to release the new version Aali?
