Archive / Speed game way too choppy

« on: 2006-05-23 03:35:59 »

Hi all,

I'm playing FF7 with lots of patches applied (including the mini-game fix) and when I play the Speed game (rollercoaster with a gun) at Gold Saucer I get less than 1 frame per second.  It is completely unplayable.
Is there any way to fix this?
The motorcycle game is also a little choppy but very playable.  Every other part FF7 in general is fine except the minigames being too choppy.
Like I said, I applied the mini-game patch.  Did I do something wrong?

Thanks.

Archive / model resizing for which models?

« on: 2006-05-14 05:42:59 »

Hi all,

I love this message board!

I was looking at the message posted by Borde about the HRC_Resizer program for models changed by the reunion patch (which works brilliantly by the way).
It helped me resize cloud and reduce some of the clipping mishaps in the field.
The instuctions told me to resize aaaa.HRC to 70%.  Okay it worked nicely.

But does anyone know the .HRC files for the other models that the reunion patch has changed?  I'd like to resize them too so everyone isn't towering in height over cloud (lol).

Thanks for your time.

Archive / FF7 Alt-Tabbing to desktop and back

« on: 2006-05-13 03:41:30 »

Hi all.

This is a great message board!  I've learned a lot from here about tweaking my old FF7PC that's been gathering dust for the past 7 years or so.  It looks better than ever with all the new patches!

A question:
When I alt-tab to my desktop at any time in the game and then return to FF7, the next time a battle comes, the game crashes (just before the swirl effect).
Is there any easy way to fix this?

I read a post by Alhexx who said the following:
"The 'swirl' effect, that appears just before the battle causes the crash.  FF7 seems to create a screenshot, saves this screenshot and then, swirles that screenshot. Either the buffer allocation for the screenshot fails or it simply stores an illegal pointer.  If you NOP out the command that tries to read that buffer, the swirl effect succeeds, however, of course it does not swirl"

Me again:
I realize Alhexx's tactic is very technical, but how exactly do you do this? (what tools and steps exactly)?
I would much rather have the ability to multitask from the game than to have the swirl effect before battles.

Thanks in advance to all readers.
