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

[shift84]

I've tried looking through a few pages to see if anyone else was wonder, I guess I just don't quite understand...

To get the most genuine but corrected english version for American English do I check "American English" and "Incorrect character names/places" or just "American English"?

And

With "Series canon", does this make it more to what the writers intended or does this just mean it reverts things back to their incorrect original translations?

I guess my whole question is what do I check to have corrected translations and the closest to what the original Japanese writers wanted their story to be?

I know the creator of this mod wanted to stay as true to the source as they possibly could, that's what I want to play, I'm just a bit confused with all the options is all.

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

Thanks for this mod.  I played the Remake recently, and it got me hankering after the original and best story.  I bought the Steam version and modded it, and it is all working fine.  However, I wanted to be able to speed up the game so I don't have to sit through summon animations, chocobo races, etc.  I have read that this mod allows you to do this, but I cannot for the life of me find the key combo online or in the mod text files.  Can anyone help me out?

Assist + Switch button is Fast-Foward (Select + Square by default)
Assist + Confirm button is Skip FMVs and certain sequences. (Select + Cross by default)

Do note that if your 60 fps battles are set to interpolated (mode 2), the fast forward function wont be working for battles. Also, this should be written down in the help file that come with the installation. See help file, hotkeys section.

go to page 220 in this thread and you'll see a great guide by kuraudo on how to install other mods in reunion

Until I create a proper tutorial - that's a great place to look

ok thx

Had alot of fun with this mod so far, thanks for your work on it. Unfortunately, I have run afoul of what appears to be a progression bug.

My buggy broke down outside Cosmo Canyon as expected, then I entered and renamed Red to Nanaki. After this, I noticed a few oddities. First, I'm used to seeing my party members in the village, such as Barret where he discusses the origins of Avalanche. All of them are missing, including Nanaki at the stairs where he talks about his father before continuing up to the observatory. When I walk into Bugenhagen's room, the cutscene where Nanaki enters never plays, so I'm unable to progress the story.

Also, if I attempt to talk to the guy at the entrance of Cosmo Canyon, Cloud runs in place and the game is softlocked after the conversation is completed.

For some background, I'm running the steam version of the game. I was on R06e til entering Junon, then I upgraded to R06f when I saw it was available. I reinstalled R06E when I encountered the issue, but that has not resolved the issue. The save is bugged I suspect.

I also encountered another softlock elsewhere, though it was easily bypassed. If you skip the second cutscene when taking the gondola from Corel to Golden Saucer, the music won't end up playing. If you attempt to get back in the Gondola to return to Corel while the game is in this state, the game will softlock after the doors on the Gondola close.

Any suggestions or has anyone else got a save from around this point?

Alright, I am still getting the crash after battles.  It's been happening much less often, and didn't happen to me at all through Shinra HQ (when I did a clean install of the new version) up to grinding inbetween Fort Condor/Junon in a forest (for Yuffie).  I'm not sure if you need any more data on this bug, but I'll still follow the proper steps.

i think only solution is to migrate code to the compiler aali used or migrate to ffxn for graphical side.  prob best ffxn as it's maintained and supported.

need your save file,mph7er

hi, i tried to look at page 220 for the mod insertion, and i have some doubts: what if in the mod there are folders that are not mentioned in those lines? i don't know where they belong, or should i leave them be?

I can probably answer this one. The folder in question works a bit like the overrides folder in GTA5 if you've ever modded that. In FF7, there are a bunch of lgp files, which are basically zip files containing a bunch of files in a specifically named file. There are lgp files for battle, magic effects, character models, etc.

The Reunion injects replacements to those files either by replacing the lgp file outright or creating a folder with the same name and file contents as the lgp file. You can see this if you look at the structure of The_Reunion\BASE\New_Translation and The_Reunion\BASE\Model_Overhaul as both contain a collection of files. The ini file determines which folders of overrides gets loaded and in what order.

If you specify an empty folder name on the MOD_ID section of the INI file, then start the game, it will create the folder structure you need automatically. After that, if you wanted to use a model for example from 7th Heaven, you would use the IRO tool to extract out the download that has the model you like. The field mod, find the model you like and when you open it, you'll find a folder. It will be named either char or char.lgp. If you place that folder in the The_Reunion\CUSTOM\YourModFolder\direct, which also should now contain a char folder, any folders in that folder will override the ones injected by Reunion. All the compatible mods will have a matching folder structure.

Other news, Box FF7 has been updated to show old window positions - I'll release it with R06g.  I'm now positioning boxes and finalizing the localization.

So I recently installed this amazing modpack, and it is awesome...but I've run into a bit of an issue that does not seem to be in the documentation anywhere.

I can't get the Choco/Mog Materia.

When I talk to the Chocobo at the gate, I get a "kweh" then nothing.

Was this changed somewhere?

Thanks for any help and for the work on this mod/framework!

I thought I was alone in this, it's been pretty hard playing the game with this bug. For what it's worth, I also had it when playing with the 7th Heaven set-up, so it doesn't seem related to Reunion only. I added several graphical mods like Nino Style, better looking spells, Remako and a tweak to the UI.

As memory serves, it's a specific chocobo. I played through this section recently and picked it up without issue...
Try talking to the others?

As above - only a migration to the compiler Aali used (which he still hasn't confirmed anywhere despite being asked twice)  or to ffxn (which I'm probably going to do) will fix this issue.

The underlying problem is that Aali coded it to a specific compiler and it can go totally tits up on another.

I feel super dumb. I swore it was the one closest to the farmhouse....I was having trouble getting any of the others to interact.

Thank you!

[orichalcon]

are you wanting bugs with the original game reported here?

while testing stuff i discovered mandragoras (encountered next to chocobo farm) don't take action at all, kinda nice for testing stuff though

i always thought i was just killing them before they had a chance to attack until i was messing around for a couple minutes and wondered why nothing was happening

and as the initial line says, this is with or without reunion

I'm not sure I'd call that a bug. That's directly reflected in their AI Script.  Until you harm them, they are passive. Great for farming whatever it is [Some Chocobo breeding thing I think] that can be stolen from them.

ah, didnt know that, since i always kill em in 1 hit they never did anything

gotcha

Minor issues like that even if bugs are likely going to go largely uncommented.   There will be hundreds, so if I don't respond, you'll know why.
