Troubleshooting / Does the Makou Reactor tool still work?

« on: 2024-01-26 10:33:42 »

Back when I modded and played this game years ago, Sega Chief was kind enough to explain to me how to use Makou Reactor to modify my flevel.lgp file and change some things regarding which battle music would play in certain areas, but this was long enough ago that I was still modding with Tifa's Bootleg and not 7th Heaven. The program is still available to download here on qhimm so I was hoping I could do it again but I can't even get it to run, I just get an error dialog. Does this thing even work anymore?

Troubleshooting / APZ Cloud field and battle models with 7th heaven

« on: 2024-01-24 08:08:21 »

Glad to see this forum is still alive and well. I played FF7 modded using Tifa's bootleg years ago, and would like to use the APZ Cloud field and battle models that I used back then but I'm not sure if I'm even able to do it with 7th heaven. The files are still available to download in the releases forum but they're not IRO files, so how can I incorporate them into my game?

Troubleshooting / Game crashing in Midgar right after Proud Clod fight

« on: 2015-12-07 08:58:36 »

I've poked around the forum for a fix but I haven't been successful so far.

After beating Proud Clod, when I try to run onto the next screen the game just goes black and hangs there, the music still plays but everything freezes up and I have to ctrl alt del out. It was a pretty long fight, and after beating Clod for the first time, when the game crashed I nearly soiled myself.    I've since beat him again and gone back to the ShinRa building to save. Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do to fix it? Any input appreciated.

Oh, and I'm playing FF7 with Gjoerulv's hardcore mod, with a few minor adjustments I made to flevel.lgp to have the current field music stay on during battles.

*UPDATE*
 I seem to have fixed it myself, the error was apparently coming from my own modification; I had used Makou Reactor to delete the command in Midgar sector 8 (md8_32, 739) that set the music for the next battle. I had also added a command to not play the battle victory music. I was unaware that there was a new encounter with the SOLDIER trio on this screen, and im guessing that deleting the first command had something to do with the crash I was getting. Anyway, I replaced my flevel file with an older version from before I made that change to that map and it works now. Derp.

Gameplay / change FF7 battle music

« on: 2015-09-05 06:34:52 »

 I was installing Tifa's mod again and I was looking everywhere on the BFE for an option to keep the current field music on during battles. After pulling some hair out I remembered to my dissapointment that that option was on the New Threat mod and not Tifa's mod, however I'm still getting really sick of that battle bgm playing every ten seconds, and I was wondering if there is any way I could include that tweak alongside the mods that are already available. I'm not 100% sure how modding works but I'm doubting that it would be as simple as moving files from one mod to another. Any help appreciated.
