Your ff7 exe text file there is not the french one. Change it for the french version then press e.

ManuBBXX · « **Reply #1451 on:** 2012-09-19 16:38:28 »

Yes I know, it's text etracted from the ff7.exe, who is the english version, wich is 5745 KO, after all bootleg patches.
I have some ff7_fr.exe, ff7_de.exe, etc.. which are 14006 KO( they are not exe patched )
So I put the ff7_fr.exe in the toughscript folder, renamed in ff7.exe for having toughscript dump working with it. It creates a '0_ff7.exe.txt' in the text folder, but this file is totally blank : 0kb. ( When it's created with ts from the ff7 french exe.
So I thought that I have to replace the english texts in this file with the french texts, and then encode 'E' with ts. But doesn't work

PS : I would mention that I installed FF7 from the new release 2012 in english language, not french, in order to have bootleg patching work.

No. You have to use the ENGLISH 1.02 exe. 1998 version only with 1998 game. The whole point of this project is to use the ENGLISH 1.02 with foreign games. You didn't read what I wrote at the start. I will be back later. Send me your translated 1.02 text file.

If you have any further trouble with this after this, someone else is going to have to take over the french conversion. This has to be done properly by someone who knows what they are doing. No offence, but that is how it has to be. Otherwise I am running about all the time trying to explain things and correct things that shouldnt need correcting.

ManuBBXX · « **Reply #1453 on:** 2012-09-19 16:46:19 »

It's not that, the fact is I don't understand well english and so, all of the discussions, but I read all.
Sorry for taking of your time, really..
I'm wondering : the English 1.02.exe file, is NOT the FF7.exe I showed to you in my first screenshot ?( wich is about 6mo )

Edit : Okay, no problem, I undesrtand. Thanks again

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1454 on:** 2012-09-19 16:48:26 »

Clearly you lack the understanding of where I am coming from and the language barrier is a problem.

Send me your ff7 text file that you have made. Send me it in PM. I will get back to you later.

ManuBBXX · « **Reply #1455 on:** 2012-09-19 16:51:22 »

I not finished yet all this file, I'll send you when it's done. I still have texts in english. Thanks a lot

You can add this converter there if you want but for people to play the game with the menu text translated they will either have to create their own edits or use Menu Overhaul. The above converter will automatically be deployed by Menu Overhaul project.

Okay, then I'll make notes that the Foreign versions must install Menu Overhaul for mods to install correctly AND have properly translated menu text. Is this correct?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1457 on:** 2012-09-19 23:34:33 »

I guess that's about right. It won't work right without a translated 1.02.

Hey, sorry to bother you. I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem, or if it was just me, but I just wanted to let you know that your installers for both the MO and UMI aren't exactly Netbook friendly... lol

Issue seen here: http://imageshack.us/a/img831/2041/issuer.png

It goes off of my screen... So it's kinda hard to install it, as it is. I couldn't re-size it, so I'm kinda at a standstill from using the compilation of mods.

Thank you for your time. ^_^

whitERaven · « **Reply #1459 on:** 2012-09-25 12:21:26 »

I had same problem, but you can still install the mod except for the options way below the screen which you wont be able to select.. I dont think there's a way around this, (at least none that I know) hope the the next version wont have this same issue..

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1460 on:** 2012-09-25 13:02:30 »

I increased the size of the window because I didn't think anyone would be using a resolution less than that. And, in fact you are in a massive minority.

Realtime resizing by user is not possible.

I can program the installer to know the current screen resolution and adjust if it falls below this. I will look into it for M06

whitERaven · « **Reply #1461 on:** 2012-09-25 14:08:17 »

ff7 is quite popular for netbooks, since netbooks are slow.. and ff7 pc don't need fast computers.. I actually have a laptop now but a fix on that issue will really help a lot (even if considered a minority).. my previous netbook has a 1024x600 res, making the window size 800x600 might be better..

Btw..Thanks a lot DLPB for this awesome mod really improved the ff7 gaming experience..

FF74EVER · « **Reply #1462 on:** 2012-09-27 23:11:06 »

I downloaded your Menu Overhaul project and seriously...It's totally amazing. It brings new life back into the game for sure. So I just wanted to say thanks!

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1463 on:** 2012-09-29 12:46:17 »

Cheers

also a note:

Where are the translators? I need your ff7 text documents sooner or later

Are you still working on this?

If you want to To add chars you will need to do that and to change window.bin values to accommodate it. As for other question regarding translation, that is offtopic, but yes, changing English game is beneficial because everyone mods for it.

Sorry for later, DLPB. But I don't have the FF7 1998 version, I have 2012. I think I couldn't modify the "mod font", right?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1465 on:** 2012-09-29 15:56:15 »

This mod is for 1998 only, you would need to convert 2012 to 1998 with kranmer's converter.

DLPB but said it would help even those who use pirated ff7 and I really want to use this mod

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1469 on:** 2012-10-01 12:41:44 »

I never said anything of the sort....? And we don't support pirate version for a very good reason. Please don't post here unless you have a bug report or request that is legal.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #1470 on:** 2012-10-09 13:57:10 »

Where are the French and Spanish text updates? I am going to be releasing M06 soon with or without. The work on foreign support is in your hands.

Asshiah · « **Reply #1471 on:** 2012-10-09 21:03:03 »
