***PROBLEM SOLVED****

After messing around with EVERY setting in the NVIDIA control panel, i seem to have eliminated the problem dont have a clue which setting it was but ive tested the game and its ok only problem is (i dont have the new "battle" menus, i have the original, prefer them) the menus r VERY sluggish for instance changing to another player without selecting a command kinda lags and 1 last question how can i remove the transparency form the battle bar??

Thanx i know im being annoying lol

Quick bump on my previous post. I don't normally do this, but this model swap issue is restricting my ability to play with custom the custom cloud model.

Cheers,

Corigne

Hello, please forgive my ignorant questions.
I am a first time user of your wonderful driver.
It is posted that I should provide my APP.log, but
I don't know what that is. How do you look at your APP.log?
And more importantly, after having installed 1.02 patch and
the custom driver to FF7, the characters, as well as the save crystal,
appear in plain red shadow figure. Please help me. What should I do?

Could you elaborate a bit more on your problem?

Where you have installed your Final Fantasy VII folder it should be located where you installed it and after you patch it with 1.02 patch THEN patch it with latest Aali's driver there should be a file called 'app.log' in the main folder so open it up and copy/paste everything here.
Also posting your ff7opengl.cfg would also be useful to find a fix with your problem

When using this driver with FF7 and the PNG texture packs for magic, battle and field, the game begins to lose textures and eventually crashes.
Intel GPU's are barely able to run the game at all.
Is this a memory issue?
Is there a fix?
Even on a video card with 512MB, the game will crash after enough hours of play.

There is also a leak if placing game on pause in battle.

I've completely rewritten the glsl shader I've uploaded a while back, (It was having trouble on some gpu's with older shader models. So far, it includes:

Ability to turn off/on, and customize each feature
HDRBloom
5xBR-FXAA
Full Screen SSAO (Yes, SSAO).

I will upload it here, in case anyone would like it, during the week if I'm finished/satisfied testing it.

If any other scripters/programmers would care to take a look to help optimize the code, for extra speed, send me a pm.

ps: This shader works both with Aali's OGL driver, and any ps1 emulator with a gpu plugin that supports glsl shaders (Pete's OGL2, gpuBladeSoft etc) for some who prefere to play ff VIII on emu (PC version sprites are horrid)

This is great news!

KaidenJames · « **Reply #609 on:** 2012-07-03 02:52:45 »

Would love to try it out Asmodean. Can't wait till it's released.

dkma841 · « **Reply #610 on:** 2012-07-03 11:57:31 »

1 question: Would my Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS be compatible with this shader?

I do not know much about programming, but why not adapt the shader plugin Pete's OPENGL2 driver 2.9 "4xMSAL"? He is by far the best shader to use in 2D games with scenarios like Final Fantasy.

2nd. The more time goes on the more curious I get about what it is he's trying to implement into v .8

Thats been me since he said he has big plans for it somewhere in this thread.

That's cool! I expected a reprimand! I guess it is just too tantalising now to not ask!

Don't worry guys, it'll be worth the wait.

Either that, or I'm screwing with DLPB, or I'm pretending to know something to look cool. Take your pick.

But I can reveal that there are currently no plans to bring this to AmigaOS.

My dreams are crushed

FF VII on AmigaOS would need a rewrite of the engine different from Q-Gears.
Not impossible because most parts are documented but much code writing work to do.
Today some MP3 players could run the game if you replace the OS.

PitBrat · « **Reply #622 on:** 2012-07-07 21:45:23 »

There is a PSX emulator for AmigaOS. So maybe it's possible to play FF7 on an Amiga already.
Free Playstation Emulator

I'm excited about a new release of Aali's OpenGL driver.
Some of the features he's hinted at are incredible. I hope a few of them make it into the release.

Insane theory of the day: Aali hasn't released his new driver because he's been hired by SquareEnix to polish up and fix the PC port they're coming out with. He can't tell us about it because he's signed a non-disclosure agreement.

I like that theory.
