Aali's driver [v 0.7.10b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

[craga2010]

Hey guys

Im new to these forums so forgive me if i seem nooby xD

Im currently using the 7.10b version of the driver.
Everything worked fine in ff7, but in ff8 I get a messge saying GLITCH unsupported texture format :S

Just wondered if theres some sort of workaround for this?
Im not sure if its actually affecting the game, it might just be an annoyance

Thanks guys!

1) 0.7.10b is broken in FF8. Try downgrade.
2) Add the line "disable_popup = yes" (without quotes) and it will stop that message.

when i installed the recent driver i got interal resolution too high.
 
heres my app log
 
Edit: Nvm I Fixed The Problem On My Own

Hi there. I recently started trying to mod my FF7, and had a problem while trying to install this:

When using FF7config.exe to try and change from Software Rendering to the custom driver, as per the instructions, FF7config.exe crashes, with the message "FF7config.exe has stopped working"

Any ideas? I did some searching and found nothing on this. I tried running in administrator and still no dice. I'm using an original, disc-installed copy on Windows 7 64bit. I am running everything in compatibility for Windows XP SP2. My drivers are up to date, and I have attempted a reinstall 3 times now, with the last one being after I first did a system restore. So I'm at a loss as to what I should try next.

did you update to v1.02 before installing Aali's driver? that might be the issue, don't quote me on it though

I did. I also tried two earlier versions of the driver, both of which gave me the same result.

[yarLson]

have you tried running it out of compatibility mode, its a long shot but maybe it will help.

[AxisXIViral]

Sure have. I've tried just about every different way to configure and run everything that I can think of, done 4 fresh installs now, all sorts of things. No idea what the problem could be.

I'm having a rather weird problem and was wondering if anyone could help
I installed FF VII, applied the FF VII remix pack and everything works fine. As soon as I extract Aali's custom OpenGL driver in the folder (overwriting several files), change the driver to "custom" in the config.exe and try to launch the game, it just gives me a black screen and pops up an error "Oops! Something very bad has happened Wrote crash.dmp to FF7 install dir.". I've tried reinstalling several times, installing things in a different order, compatibility mode,... none of em worked

There is no longer support for .7.6b.   If you want help for that version you'll need to search through the appropriate thread.

[dtdsora]

doesnt matter now, fixed it

[Vgr]

0.7.9b is the better I believe. Some will say that 0.7.3b is the better. Well, use the one who fits you the more.

[AxisXIViral]

I did. I also tried two earlier versions of the driver, both of which gave me the same result.

I just realized I think I read your message wrong. Haha. Did you mean that updating to 1.02 before installing it causes problems?

[yarLson]

no you definitely want to update to 1.02 before installing the driver or it won't work. Just a quick question, when you install the game, are you doing a full install of it?

[AxisXIViral]

no you definitely want to update to 1.02 before installing the driver or it won't work. Just a quick question, when you install the game, are you doing a full install of it?

I will reinstall and try that to make sure I'm doing it right. I've been doing a full install every time, yes.

EDIT: Okay, did another fresh install, and I'm still getting the same problem.

your sure your getting the ff7 v 1.02 before installing the driver? sorry, just want to be 100 percent clear on that

[fladimir_hokage]

I have a suggestion, it would be great to have the anti aliasing or FSAA
look better for the game thanks for listening
type Anti_aliasing = on or  Anti_aliasing = 16xQ
to better and better ^^

[Vgr]

Well, here are the functions anyway with what it does : (Aali feel free to correct me) (The command is my config) (I only put the ones that aren't actually in the ff7_opengl.cfg)

disable_popup = yes ; Well, self-explanatory
new_mp_limit = 32767 ; Only for 9999 limit breaking
new_hp_limit = 32767 ; Only for 9999 limit breaking
movie_sync_debug = no ; Sync audio and video (Pretty unsure)
opengl_debug = no ; Maybe to solve some problems (VERY unsure)
show_tbn_space = no ; Dunno
show_normals = no ; Dunno
show_light_rays = yes ; Didn't see any effect ingame
enable_lighting = yes ; Didn't see any effect ingame
load_library = none ; Used for the SpeedHack originally, but can be used for other things
show_applog = yes ; Didn't see any effect ingame
more_ff7_debug = yes ; Didn't see any effect ingame
skip_frames = no ; Probably reduces lag in some cases (UNTESTED)
internal_size_y = 0 ; Probably the size of the inner window (Unsure)
internal_size_x = 0 ; Probably the size of the inner window (Unsure)
widescreen_hack = no ; Dunno
window_pos_y = 0 ; Probably the initial position of the window when starting (Unsure)
window_pos_x = 0 ; Probably the initial position of the window when starting (Unsure)
vertex_log = no ; Dunno
trace_lights = no ; Dunno
trace_loaders = no ; Dunno
trace_files = no ; Dunno
trace_direct = no ; Dunno
trace_fake_dx = no ; Dunno
trace_movies = no ; Dunno
trace_all = no ; Dunno
post_source = none ; Post-processing shader source?
yuv_source = none ; Yuv shader source?
frag_source = none ; Fragment shader source?
vert_source = none ; Vert shader source?
traced_texture = no ; Dunno
save_textures = yes ; Dunno

Maybe we should make a thread for that?

All options are here. There is no "anti_aliasing" option (at least for now). I don't think Aali will bother implement it

[sl1982]

You can just force whatever flavor of anti-aliasing in the control application for your graphics card.

[Aali]

Indeed, you can and you should. Those are "control panel" settings, there is no (good) way of setting them from within an OpenGL app and it does not belong there.

[DarkFang]

This problem just started happening, so I uninstalled Final Fantasy VII and everything else. I did a fresh reinstall, applied all the mods and patches, and now it isn't working. It's giving me the same error. It says the internal resolution is too high or something.

This is from my APP.LOG file.

[ZellSF]

Is there any way to enable both midi playback and FF7Music? This driver doesn't seem to give midi volume information to FF7Music when it is running...

[fladimir_hokage]

but i am config 16xQ antialiasing and 16x anisotropic  in my control panel...but grafic in the game is not smoothed in the battle
my grafic is nvidia  8800 gt, 512mb,  256 bits

what can I do?

[Vgr]

Post your ff7opengl.cfg

ZellSF : Please reformule your sentence...
