Shunsq so I am going to try these out in game but my question is what happens when Squall changes his Seed Uniform will that mess up the textures?

Is anyone else having problems with the Steam overlay, and/or taking screenshots with the hotkey in Steam?  I started noticing related crashes once I started using the mod.     Also whenever I get a new achievement, it seems to lock it up as well.

Hello mama-sensei you have to disable the steam overlay or it will keep causing crashes.

1) Click on Steam and click on the "Settings" button. Click on the "In-Game Settings" tab.

2) Uncheck the box next to "Enable Steam Community In-Game" and click OK.

3) Disable the Steam Overlay on specific games only by right-clicking on the game title, click on "Properties" and uncheck "Enable Steam Community In-Game" in the "General" tab.

Is it relatively simple to replace the fmvs steam gave us with these ones found on youtube? Can I just rip these from youtube and then rename them and copy and replace them into the data/movies folder? These are the highest quality ones I have ever seen.

I found a texture bug. Not sure which mod is causing it. Basically the Hand cursor that goes over clouds head and gives you green and red arrows for exits and ladders was working fine until I went to the tutorial area in the sector 7 slums. I talked to the construction guy who tells you about the "Finger" and it made the textures go from normal to greyish squares that look like when your t.v. is on a station that doesn't function.

I can fix that.

I prefer the filtering on because it hides the pixelated look.

The thing is, I want accurate textures faithful to the original artist's intentions, like the Resident Evil 4 project.
When HD texture developers begin doing things that begin changing the original look too much, it turns me off.

Squall's neck in the original is also very one pixelly. But Magochocobo's neck looks WAY too tense and muscular. It looks too flexed and unrealistic.

Here's my current progress. If anyone has suggestions, let me know.





Now just imagine this, but for all characters, world map and battle scenes. It'd look amazing.

Can't wait for these texture replacements to be fully done/working. Awesome job guys!

Thanks, hopefully this doesn't happen often, but if it does then I'll add it to the Troubleshooting and FAQ section.

Check out the FF7_GC.log and see what it's doing. If you can't figure it out, post it here. 7H has an auto-update feature if it's enabled in the Settings. OP will be updated, just not sometimes immediately after a new version is released.

Thank you  just did that, are all the mods in the catalog 1.0 from September 2nd?

Thanks Elyza.  Sorry but another question. So I just updated to 1.39 and when i copied and pasted the files and ran 7th heaven it asked if I wanted to use Windows Subscription links again. Can you explain to me what that means? When I clicked yes it gave me this error.  But all the mods worked, I am just kinda worried if it will stop mods from updating in the future,.

I figured out what the problem was. When you upgrade windows 8 to windows 8.1 it can set your windows DPI higher. So basically my laptops resolution is 1920x1080 but since the screen is like 17 or 19 inches(i forget but kinda small compared to some monitors) it sets the DPI to 125% zoom to make the icons and text look bigger. This can be fixed under the resolution options, by setting it to small 100%.

Thanks for your help dude, actually, i just re-installed the game, using the tools from the links, using the 7th converter, it works!.

If someone who had installed the bootleg version and dont want to lose some mods, just download the ulgp tool from here.
It's really easy to use, just dumb the files that you want, for example, you dont want lost some battle models, then you just have to dump the battle.lgp and then encode it again wue you've reinstalled your game.

Thanks again for the help guys.

I would say wait for Alyza to answer that, most likely yes but when you uninstall and start from scratch you need to make sure you've cleanly uninstalled it and removed the registry keys. I'm guessing maybe if you knew the filenames of all the textures and music mods you downloaded, manually created the proper folders and move them into there it could work. Alternatively you could probably uninstall those mods, setup your directories correctly and then re-install them, this will also take a long time because since both your music and texture folders are incorrect (and pretty much most of these mods affect textures, you will probably have to re-install most of them since it looks like you have them mixed up in your main textures folder and not in the mods folder) but I would say wait for Alyza to answer.

If you want to uninstall without waiting follow these steps for a clean start.

-First download http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14421.0 There is the link, it usually deletes a handful of registries left over after uninstall.

- I would then check your steam folder and if the ff7 folder is still there after uninstall delete it.

-Then run CCcleaner https://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER. Then you're good to go.

Like i said though when you run the 7th heaven converter, right click run as administrator on the executable. Also to turn off UAC either permanently or temporarily type in UAC into your search box. Select Change user account control settings, move the slider to never notify. Disable your anti-virus for the converter and then afterward the converter has finished re-enable your anti-virus add an exception to the 7thheaven.exe and check to make sure it's not quarantined. I know this might seem like a pain in the ass but it's worth it and once you get it setup you can just activate/de-activate mods since they are injected now, no more uninstalling if you want to use a different mod.

Two problems with your installation I noticed. On my 7th heaven config I didn't put any info into "also launch". Second problem is did you use the converter made for 7th heaven and not the one made for bootleg? Cause I think it should of created a music/vgmstream folder and it looks like you're missing that. It could also be that you didn't run the converter as administrator and you have User account control and/or Windows Smartscreen and/or a  anti-virus that false positived and quarantined stuff, even my anti-virus tried to quarantine 7th heaven.

An issue I'm having is my "Settings" box is too small, I can't really see the last two check boxes to get the right settings I believe.  Any way I can change the size of the settings box?

I had this problem as well. I think what I did was downscaled my monitors' resolution and then reapplied the native resolution and it was fixed. It was like a week ago so I don't remember for sure but that was how I think I fixed it.

Hey thanks for the ff8 mods/video tutorial McIndus . I also love strawberries but I bought too many last time and couldn't eat them all before they started to get moldy .

@EQ2Alyza  Not sure about google drive. I didn't see any download error messages. Final Heaven updated some files last time I used it but I'm not even sure how to check to see what was specifically updated. I think I have it on auto-download.

We love you, EQ2Alyza.  Thank you so much for all of your hard work! 
If only people didn't feel so entitled.

I love strawberries too!

Hey you helped me with your bootleg video, and you tried to help me with this one. And I only got them working because of your tutorials. I have a lot of respect for modders and mod organizers. I feel bad for them because a lot of people are ungrateful for all the hard FREE work they do for their communities. So don't stress out, and thanks for everything. FF7 is what got me into RPGS and really into reading fantasy so to have it spruced up a bit and more playable in modern times, I'm grateful.

Posted this on the video guide, but hoping someone can help me here.

I'm having an issue with the resolution.  When I set it to 1920x1080 with Preserve Aspect checked. I get one big black bar covering 1/4 of the left side of my laptop monitor. When I uncheck Preserve Aspect, the right side of the screen is cut off. Basically the whole resolution is off center to the right. I encountered the same error with bootleg which I was able to fix.... but I don't remember how, it was a long time ago. EDIT: Setting the resolution to 1366x768 seems to center the image. I'm confused though because my monitors native resolution is 1920x1080.
