So. I've spent the last 12 hours of my free time trying to figure out how to mod FFVII with the 7th Heaven tool and to no avail....
I have literally done everything in the tutorial from a clean install about 20 times with the same problem each time. If anyone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong I would really appreciate it.
Here's what I've been doing
1-Clean install of the game (steam version) on a non system folder named FFVIIDISK1
2-run FF7 game converter (as administrator) to game directory.
3-Test sound and check settings
4-mount the FF7 iso via daemon tools
5-Unzip the 7th heaven zip file and run as administrator
6-correct the openGL driver config to match my settings and resolution.
7-change settings under workshop to the 4 folders listed in the tutorial, and copy the subscription link to the box provided, Also check the bottom 2 boxes
8-click on "check subscriptions now"
9-hit search under catalog
10-download mods by clicking on the download button
11-hit search under library and activate mods
12-rearrange mods under active mods in the order mentioned in the tutorial.
13-configure each mod individually under active mods.
14-press launch game
aaaaand nothing happens. It just runs vanilla FFVII with my modifications to the openGL driver
Am I supposed to me moving the files myself after they are downloaded via 7th heaven? It seems like the mods are just downloaded into one folder. I've set all 4 of the directories to the paths that are mentioned in the tutorial.
I think I'm missing some crucial step before I start downloading the mods, but I really have no idea whats wrong.
Another thought is that maybe I'm doing something wrong with the converter? Is this the same thing that would happen if I had tried to run the 7th heaven tool with the wrong version of the game?
BTW, I've has 0 problems running mods with BFE but I cant seem to figure out how to use custom models with that. I also like the idea of installing and uninstalling mods without having to reinstall everything.
But anyway,
ANY advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to give up.
. I just cant afford to spend too much more time working on this =\.
