All movies are in the iro (english version)

Axel Firestorm · « **Reply #51 on:** 2019-10-23 20:27:45 »

Yeah, I see them now. Ironite worked better than 7H for unpacking them. Good job on them!

The pictures look great!

Is this mod complete? Have all the field sprites been replaced yet (as in people, vehicles, items, etc...)? Are all the field maps replaced? What about battle backdrops?

satsuki · « **Reply #53 on:** 2019-10-26 15:16:57 »

This mod is complete and include (said in the first post):
-All Fields background (+3d char texture like flipper, moving train..)
-All Battle background
-Full Worldmap (with animated parts too)
-All Magics and combat Fx (kela51's version corrected)
-All movies (english version)

This mod does not include:
-Menus (looks for avalanche gui 2.10 or wait for reunion 06 if you need one : http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=18397.0 or http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14914.0)
-Minigames (looks for grimmy english version based on my old waiffu works if you need them : http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16444.0)
-3D models (looks for ChaOS version : http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13960.0)

This looks awesome! For someone who'a complete noob at FF7 modding, how do I install this? I'd prefer not to use 7th Heaven. And when Reunion RC06 is released I'd like to use that as well.

Any step by steps?

Thanks!

Ok, so I can't get this to work.

I've completely cleared any installation files and started fresh and did the following based of some info from your v3 thread.

1. Convert the game using FF7 Game Converter (This creates the ff7_opengl.cfg mentioned in your v3 thread) And to to this you need a fake ISO as well. After I do this I only get sound effects in the game, but no music, any ideas?
2. Edit ff7_opengl.cfg, this a where's it's a bit confusing, should it be a full path
mod_path = E:\Spel\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\mods\Textures
or
mod_path = Textures

3. Unpack all the IRO files and put them in the mods\Textures folder (this is also a but confusing, what should the folder structure look like here?)

satsuki · « **Reply #56 on:** 2019-10-31 20:25:33 »

hello

In opengl config :
mod_path = Textures

In the "E:\Spel\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\mods\Textures" folder put the files without extracted subfolder name :

e2zippo · « **Reply #57 on:** 2019-10-31 22:46:28 »

Hey! Tried that too before the screenshot, still didn't load :/

When I paste all files I get a question if I want to override 4 files, among other mod.xml, should I do that?
Are the other steps right?

Any ideas about the sound effects working but not the music, one's the game is converted.

Maybe some sort of tutorial would be good.

I really appreciate the work that has gone into this, looks amazing! Just can't get it to work.

satsuki · « **Reply #58 on:** 2019-10-31 22:52:11 »

So the game may have been bad converted, try to ask in the game converter thread

e2zippo · « **Reply #59 on:** 2019-10-31 23:00:06 »

Tried it three times, but I guess that's possible.

Any special version you would recommend?

EQ2Alyza · « **Reply #60 on:** 2019-11-01 00:30:29 »

What is the name of the game converter file you used?

FF7_GameConverter_7H.exe?

e2zippo · « **Reply #61 on:** 2019-11-01 07:51:10 »

Yeah, that's correct

EQ2Alyza · « **Reply #62 on:** 2019-11-01 10:32:41 »

The 7H means 7th Heaven, so you can only use that converter alongside 7th Heaven.

You may want to try the original beta converter: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14047.0

e2zippo · « **Reply #63 on:** 2019-11-01 11:33:27 »

Alright, so the original converter worked, now I have music!

But I still can't get the textures to work, really weird.

My ff7_opengl.cfg looks like this regarding the mod_path

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
mod_path = Textures

And I found that there was another sub folder in every directory, so I moved everything up so it looks like in your screenshot satsuki

Then I launch through Steam and my game looks like this.

satsuki · « **Reply #64 on:** 2019-11-01 16:17:33 »

don't launch with steam...
just use the ff7.exe with the old ff7 icon

e2zippo · « **Reply #65 on:** 2019-11-03 17:06:18 »

When I try to start with ff7.exe I get.

"Please insert FF7 Game Disc 1 2 or 3 and try again".

satsuki · « **Reply #66 on:** 2019-11-03 18:40:21 »

yes you need an ff7 cd... or when you use the converter it tell you to rename one of your hdd to "ff7..." you need to do it and keep it or you'll need a 1998 ff7's cd

e2zippo · « **Reply #67 on:** 2019-11-03 18:43:42 »

Ok, so I've mounted a FF7 disc now and tried starting with ff7.exe and all I get a black screen for a few seconds then it's like it never started.

Is is supposed to be this messy or am I mr noob here?

Kaldarasha · « **Reply #68 on:** 2019-11-03 19:30:10 »

Probably the sound driver has gotten empty in ff7config.exe. Don't worry this happens to me from time to time.

e2zippo · « **Reply #69 on:** 2019-11-03 19:36:25 »

Hmm, I can't get it to run unless I tick Compability Settings and use Win 7 or below.

But movies have no audio, and I have no sound effects, just music once the movies are done playing.
And the image is 16:9 and streched.

Any ideas?

satsuki · « **Reply #70 on:** 2019-11-03 20:46:22 »

this is ff7 and aali driver config, not this pack release

Alright, will do, sorry for hijacking the thread.

e2zippo · « **Reply #73 on:** 2019-11-22 20:08:12 »

Managed to all backgrounds working in Reunion R06, and I gotta say, they look amazing! Wow, didn't think FF7 could look so good. Applied some scanlines as well and damn, it's sweet! Many thanks for this!

EQ2Alyza · « **Reply #74 on:** 2019-11-23 23:04:10 »

Is the battle fields link supposed to be the 3.17 version?
