Well.. my weekend from work starts in 24 hours roughly, chances still looking good for a monday release? Would be amazing to be able to kick off my weekend from work tomorrow by getting back into this amazing mod

Sega Chief · « **Reply #9776 on:** 2020-07-27 13:17:09 »

Yep, going for 10pm UK time which is just shy of 8 hours from time of posting.

One caveat though, Type B is locked for a week so I can finish implementing something in there.

Kurne · « **Reply #9777 on:** 2020-07-27 15:55:08 »

I planned to force myself to stay on game A with hard mode until I beat it once that way I still have game B hard mode to look forward to

lol.... I'm sure it will be worth the extra wait for it and I get twice the amount of time to enjoy it that way

FF7 NT 2.0 is now releasing. I'll be updating the front page of this thread over the next hour or so. Bug reports and the like are appreciated, especially at this early juncture. Uprisen (a twitch streamer) did a full playthrough over the last week with me watching and repairing bugs as they appeared so it should be ready to go. But there's always a chance stuff crept in afterwards or that problems were missed so let me know if you find any.

It's been a long while since I last played the mod, and I've been lurking the past few months when I saw a 2.0 was in progress, so I'm really happy to see it and I can't wait to play it.

I'm probably gonna hold off until Game Type B is done (unless Type A is worth the try, but I was really curious about Type B), but I really wanna say congratulation on the release. It was a blast back in 1.4 and 1.5, and I'm sure it's gonna be great this time around as well.

Gonna donate in a few moments too, hopefully you can rest a bit.

I just installed NT 2.0.0 through the Main Installer (no 7th Heaven) and it looks alot like what was installed was actually just NT 1.5 (menu prompts for "Normal vs. Arrange mode", instead of Mode A and a potential Hard Mode, Ability description for cloud upon leaving the train states his old passive.) Is this an oversight in the installer, or in the mod itself with not-updated text?

Owlrrex · « **Reply #9781 on:** 2020-07-27 21:49:40 »

Just saw your tweet, I'm considering it resolved. ^^

Kurne · « **Reply #9782 on:** 2020-07-27 21:54:00 »

wait what tweet O.o... i'm crashing upon hitting new game though <-< side note i installed a bunch of iros all at once and new computer since last install and first time hitting new game, so probably gone some mod compatibility problems. it generated a crash log but not sure how to open it. just looks like a bunch of symbols when opened in notepad x.x

also controller doesn't work but probably due to my lack of investing time into setting it up z.z... gone have to turn all mods off and just turn one on at a time until i figure the problem aren't i? x.x...

alright! turned all mods off and the begging video after hitting new game worked! yay! now to go through one at a time until i find the problem child x.x... side note, still have no idea how to make hte ps4 controller work on it x.x...

vewrified new threat working without issue when run by itself, also verified i saw options for hard mode and arrange everything looks like patch loaded without trouble.

I'm also getting an error after clicking "launch game" in the ff7-launcher, with steam's error code 81.

That is a very generous donation, thank you very much. It's been a pretty tough 3 months; with the furlough and lockdown I just threw myself into this for the last 3 months and didn't really do much of anything else. Type B should be pretty interesting to get feedback on, so looking forward to getting people's reactions for that next week.

First thing to do is check that the game itself is working properly; run it through 7h without mods and get controller set up, etc. Then activate NT on its own and check if it runs or not, and play to the first save point. Then start applying other mods, that's the most efficient way I think.

That's with the Installer? I think I know why actually, either the .exes or the archives for models aren't complete. I'll look into it now.

Kurne · « **Reply #9785 on:** 2020-07-27 22:07:47 »

If anyone else has the issues, it appears the Running animation redone IRO is what is causing the crash, now anyone know how to make this ps4 controller work with this? lol...

(thank god it wasnt anything else, different running animation i can live without)

yuck, same crash happened after first battle x.x...

same crash log, z.z.z.z...z....zzz.... everything up until looked nice though

here we go again! seems like it happened as soon as cloud finished waving his sword. i shoulda went to first save like ya suggested lol ah well time to isolate the problem child. side note, still failing at trying to get ps4 controller to be compatible z.z

EternalLykaios · « **Reply #9786 on:** 2020-07-27 22:13:54 »

I think I know the problem for you Kurne, do you have any the 60 fps ticked on the animation IRO? Even using an older version of 7th Heaven mine crashed at the first battle before 2.9 came out. Untick that and it should work, hopefully!

EternalLykaios · « **Reply #9787 on:** 2020-07-27 22:17:27 »

2.0* Oh also that second installer worked fine for me, but I'm not running it through Steam. I'm using the Steam files but just copied over into a backup folder as I'm using 7th Heaven.

Kurne · « **Reply #9788 on:** 2020-07-27 22:22:21 »

i've isolated it i think to one of the enhanced user interface mods. i'm not sure which part of which one is causing it since one requires the other to be acitve x.x.... gone go through and change options in both and try on/off until i find the exact option on thats causing it. i'd rather not lose the enhanced user interface unless i have to..

flacidapplebottoms · « **Reply #9789 on:** 2020-07-27 22:24:18 »

The link for the installer is dead. I'm guessing this is intentional as you work out a bug or two?

Owlrrex · « **Reply #9790 on:** 2020-07-27 22:27:54 »

I've installed 7th heaven real quick and that version worked with only NT, while the second installer gave me the error-code 81. Can confirm that the iro-version doesn't crash (except it fucks up everything else in my setup, but that's a me-problem).

One thing I noticed though is a cosmetic bug: When activating the help-window in combat, the description for the "defend"-command still says "halves incoming damage". I've read in the docs that you changed that. Just a little tiny thing.

Kurne · « **Reply #9791 on:** 2020-07-27 22:31:42 »

looks like the crash is caused by enhanced stock ui mod. the enhanced stock in it specifically the main menu option must be turned off it seems to crash on me when its on. unfortunately this means the ff7 remake theme ui mod cannot be run either since it requires the enhanced stock to turn on

silver lining is all the other options within that particular enhanced stock ui mod seem to work fine so... yay? hopefullyh thats got all the completely irrelevent crashes resolved. now to just make this doodie controller work. anyone have anyh iders on that btw <-<? any third party or second partyh or first party o.o mods that can make this ps4 controller do well anything? i have it plugged in and getting light, just no response from the game x.x

Silver lining. xbox one controller seems to work fine. Ah well I can deal I guess. Okay. I think kinks unrelated to new threat are actually worked out for the most part. Now time for real test drive

. We only play on hard here xD

Yeah link changes when a new one is uploaded, I'm editing the front page post just now with the links so they can live there.

I'll help with debugging that once I've got the links settled.

Links on front page are updated; installer only atm, for that .exe issue.

I'll test out the 2.0 IRO with the enhanced stock UI just now, I assumed it would be fine as structurally it's the same as the 1.5 IRO but will double-check.

Given that there are many balance changes from 1.5 to 2.0, I might as well restart the game, I guess. Just tried to use 2.0 using 1.5 files, I seem to missed some of the initial items and because I just began walking to Junon, I already have my upgrades from that Mr Smile in Mythril Cave.

Yeah, the save files from 1.5 to 2.0 can't be used; too much stuff gets messed up. 1.5 is still a valid mod to play through though I think, it has different boss fights to 2.0 and some content that was removed from 2.0 as well.

Edit: Installer link updated, .exe offsets corrected.

The Aps fight seems to produce consistent crashes right when he first casts Sewer Tsunami. The textbox appears, but as soon as the animation should start the game crashes.

I got it too; not sure how or when this sprung up, but I'll fix it.

Edit: Seems something in the hext is responsible, going to narrow it down. Must have been something was added in the last couple of days.

Is there a chance that future bug fixes to 2.0 will invalidate save files? I haven't started a game yet and I'm wondering if I should wait.

No, it's not like ROMs and stuff; any bug fixes, content updates, etc. don't affect save files.

Also, I narrowed down the Aps problem; going to upload a fix soon.
