Yeah, but I'm running a 64bit version of Windows and still have the same issue.

Quote from: Panteleimon on 2020-04-22 22:25:32

The same here.
Reading log.txt, seems like texconv.exe (converts .dds to .png) is 64bit. My Windows is 32bit. So the program can't be run.
What a pity

@Panteleimon & LazarusHC
Witch windows version ?
Witch graphic card ?
Have you tried cpu version ?

LazarusHC · « **Reply #227 on:** 2020-04-23 07:04:04 »

Okay, finally got it working! I was playing around with texconv to see if I could figure out what wasn't working, and in the process a bunch of Visual C++ redistributables got installed which must have satisfied a dependency for your installer. I couldn't tell you exactly which one did it, though. My system was pretty bare-bones since I've been running Linux exclusively for about 10 years now, and was running off a fresh install of Windows I'm now dual booting just for FF7 (couldn't get Reunion mod working in Linux).

Thanks again for all your efforts! Finished playing the Remake last week, and let's just say it left me with a strong desire to replay the original, which is when I came across this amazing modding community.

satsuki · « **Reply #228 on:** 2020-04-23 07:15:26 »

Ok seems dependencies related, i'll check than one and 32bit also

Windows 7 pro 32-bit, GeForce GT 710
I've found 32bit texconv.exe in DirectX SDK (june 2010), but it is only 47KB - and your texconv is 3.28MB. And still it doesn't work

But 32bit version launchs, and your texconv gives error in log.txt
log.txt with 32bit example:

Seems like 32 bit texconv.exe has no -y option? And those weird symbols at the beginning....

What is CPU version? Where can I find it?

satsuki · « **Reply #230 on:** 2020-04-23 11:37:35 »

I found the dependencies needed that's from c++ 2015 visual studio
Need to find a 32 bits version of the tool, autodetect if os is 32/64bits and autoswitch all the stuff.
May take some time

satsuki · « **Reply #234 on:** 2020-04-23 18:49:19 »

New version (page 1)
-The Pack Builder now detect 32/64bits OS and use the right tool (thanks Panteleimon for reporting)
-Added the vc runtime so you can intall them if needed (thanks LazarusHC for reporting)
-Small correction in the farm field (thanks Orichalcon for reporting)

I'm using LGP Tool to mod my german steam Version of FF7.
I've aleady got the Ninostyle models for direct Folder in my *.lgp files.
Is there any way to get the SYW Backgrounds, Fields, etc into the *.lgp files? There are no *.DDS Image Files in the lgp container so I cant copy/paste and overwrite the files...

satsuki · « **Reply #236 on:** 2020-04-23 20:16:14 »

you can't do it straight
you need to convert from png to ff7 tex file
but for field you can't because of the limit size of the lgp files.
not this pack related, better ask in tools section.

EliR58 · « **Reply #237 on:** 2020-04-23 20:54:30 »

Regardless of which options I choose or what operation I attempt to perform on your installer, it crashes very shortly after starting. About 3 seconds after starting it goes unresponsive. I've attempted waiting for several minutes, running in compatibility mode, running as administrator, giving admin privileges to all included tools. Upon running it also deletes the log.txt file and does not repopulate it no matter how long I wait, so I am unable to determine any sort of error message.

Edit: Just saw new version, will attempt with this.

EliR58 · « **Reply #238 on:** 2020-04-24 01:03:01 »

Yeah it just goes unresponsive immediately still. Again no error log for me to post unless I'm missing it somewhere.

As you're the only one to have this bug it's probably related to your computer.
Have you put the exe in your a/v exception just in case ?
You you try to use it from another folder (D:\SYWinstaller.4.15\ instead of "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\....."

EliR58 · « **Reply #241 on:** 2020-04-24 07:04:46 »

I can't believe I didn't think to move the program outside of the directory it was operating on. I didn't think it would be an issue as it wasn't for The Reunion's installer. Moving it to the root of my drive and attempting to install fixed things! Thanks for the help!

When I get to the Nibelheim flashback sequence after you leave Midgar I am getting a black screen after Sephiroth starts to burn down the town. When I try to enter the houses to look for survivors, the game crashes. I'm also using New Threat and a lot of other mods for almost every facet of the game, though.

I used the PNG option when generating the fields.

Hi satsuki! It's been amazing replaying the game with your textures, thanks!

I wasn't sure if you saw that the DVD rip of the FFVII FMVs is downloadable from the internet archive - not sure if that would be something of use to you for future updates:

Many of those FMVs are incomplete and are only cuts from of their full versions.

The textures between the installer and catalog are identical. The difference is that the installer version provides the means to create DDS format textures (which can be used by the new FFNx graphics driver) and is able to generate Reunion-compatible folder structures automatically.

can FFnx driver be used in conjunction with 7th heaven by maybe renaming the dll to fool 7th heaven to use that driver instead of its own?
