Title: Whitechoco editor is crashing CTD
Post by: stavstav on 2023-11-20 14:56:20
I guess this does not like the steam version but that is what I have.  I guess I need the old version of the game exe?

I guess I will have to install old version FF7 on another computer and then try whitechoco on that.

What I am trying to do is change materia sell prices and sell prices thru AP.  Maybe another tool can do it.  Any help or suggestions on how to do this?  Thank you! :)

HA nevermind it worked I think now the select file box came up,  I guess it has to crash a couple times first lol

what is this SHOPMENU.MNU file I dont seem to have it in my FF7 directory.

perhaps I will try to find some readme file for this editor.

Starting Steam may help it work possibly I'm not sure why it now worked and not before  :-\  I guess is working fine now on ff7.exe

It seems I cannot edit the materia "price for master" in shops with this tool.

Can anyone recommend a tool that can do that?  Thank you  :)

Ok figured it out yes the program has to crash first time, second have to copy ff7_en.exe and rename copy to ff7.exe then change master materia multiplier from 210 to #X, now to test and see if it actually worked, must rename back the exe.

Look for
Code: [Select]

00 6b d2 46 89 55 fc 8b

and change the 46h to the multiplier you want; there is another 46h slightly lower down which you should probably change as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have my PSX discs with me, so I can't find where they are in that version; unless someone here can help you, you'll just have to look for them by searching the individual files.
--------------------------

I confirmed that this works to change the master materia modifier (price), on only the FF7 1998 version, other versions you cant find this string.
I confirmed as I think did the OP of this, using hex file compare, after changing it with whitechoco.

If whitechoco is working correctly the modifier should say 70 after you load the exe, before any modification.
