How to Install:
1. Extract to desktop.
2. Copy avatars to mods\[your mod path]\menu.
3. Overwrite the files.

Personally, I would prefer to see the original avatars made like PNG files (as they have transparent backgrounds). However, if you were to complete this with no issues involved I would most likely use it. I'd just have to see the new avatars first. I'm not feeling Tifa's, for instance.

I'll probably make three sets.
1. The original avatars with transparent backgrounds.
2. Advent Children avatars with transparent backgrounds.
3. Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary avatars with transparent backgrounds.
This might take a while because I have OCD and they have to be perfect. And I just got out of school and it's summer so I'm going to be out with friends and family. I'll try to work on it in my spare time.

TBH, it looks a little odd.
It might look OK, if you use the old style avatars; a lot of FF games have used transparent avatars on blue backgrounds, but transparent photorealistic AC avatars on the blue background looks wrong.
-
Maybe when the battle models are redone, a face pic of them would look good, in a 3/4 view.
-
I think it will look good with the 3d faces like Nightmarish said. That's what I just think though since the AC avatars look so real or human they don't fit with the rest of the menu. Can you try a 3d face for an example?? There's a Cloud, tifa and sephiroth etc in kh2 and doc of vincent model face(if you want to try it that is). :)
-
On such a richly coloured background, I doubt even 3D models will look good. It's a cartoony/anime-y background, so anything that's not 2D will look out of place.
3D models or photorealistic avatars can be OK, but only when the background is a more subdued colour; for example, this kind of thing would be fine in FF8, since the menu background is grey.

I agree. and I even said that before this topic got split.

I'm going to be doing three sets.
Original Avatars
Advent Children Avatars
10th Anniversary Gallery Avatars

Good plan, post up pics along with the downloads. More choice in this at least

I'm taking a little break at the moment. School just let out and I'm hanging with some of my friends. I'll start it back up soon though.

Do originals first...I was LOVIN that cloud!

For DarkFang, I've just tried turning images with transparent backgrounds too and it works in the game but I have to use mod_path which is only available in the latest driver(0.7.7b) but you know that version has many bugs right?? Do you know of any other way to input the transparent avatars in game??

I use v0.7.3b.
EDIT: Where's the young Cloud avatar?

Young Cloud Avatar for the 10th anniversary?? I think there is none. I think Nomura did one Original Cloud Avatar and one with the AC costume of Cloud so basically, no young cloud avatar. Also Nero did the 10th anniversary avatars too but he uses the original cloud as his young cloud too.

I meant the young Cloud avatar that's used in the game. It's not in the texture folder.
-
Never noticed that. Have you tried making a copy of cloud_00.png and rename it pcloud_00.png? Don't remember if they have different portraits so disregard that copy thing if I'm wrong.

Yes they have different portraits.

Looking good. :) Does TA know they're missing one avatar??

I'm not sure. Didn't the chocobo have an avatar as well?
-
Yeah if you're going to rename one. I don't really use the original avatars by TA so I don't know if they did them too.
Oh I just checked my textures folder and there's no chocobo so that means two avatars.. Hmm. Well you can always find a portrait of young cloud in the net with higher resolution too. I'm just saying cause you'll need it to complete your mod. :)
-
HELL YEAH! How can I get those darkfang?

Wait until I'm finished the other 2 characters and I need to find out where the young Cloud and Chocobo avatars are located. I'll release the original first then start the AC ones.

AWESOME! Too bad Final Fantasy VII now launches to a black screen on my computer, though. T-T
-
Do we need three discussions on the same topic?
-
Updated and added a download link.
-
Again, this is kind of my fault. If people would quit posting their opinions in Game Tweaking this wouldn't happen, but at the same time I should have remembered to merge them together.
Addendum Merged ONCE AGAIN, for about the 6th time. This is getting old guys

My bad. Want me to put something in my thread saying to go here?
-
In a perfect world there would be a link from yours here, and from here to yours

Alright, sorry to revive a somewhat old thread, but I have a serious question about this. I don't quite know how to get the avatars to work in game. I have them downloaded and in my textures folder, but when i open the game, it's still same old same old. Did i maybe do something wrong?

How might I get this to work right?

Are you using the cache method for Aali's driver?? If so delete the avatars folder in the cache and then start up the game with the new avatars in the texture folder and it should work.
-
Shouldnt they be in just avatar? not avatar/avatar/avatar?
-
There's also some there too:

Are you sure you are in the right folder? search for the filenames of the original avatars and replace all of them.
-
Just tried that, and their all in the avatar folders. except for one, which was a .ctx file in the cache folder. I don't know how to work with .ctx files in the least bit.
Edit: oh, I missed nikfrozty's post. It works perfectly now, thanks.

When you enable the use of cache it saves the .png files to .ctx so that it will load much faster than loading the .png files all over again everytime. If you chang something to the .png it will not load it by default but instead load the save .ctx file in the cache. That's why you have to delete it if you change something in the texture folder for it to work. :)
