That's a shame, although this isn't the first time the project hit a roadblock. There's always qgears  :)

NFITC did you ever come up with the animation fix for things like the characters leaving the limit break area too quickly?  Another good one is the guardian attack animation when they shoot their fists.

And what about Cloud's limit break battle text.

With a fix to those, I was hoping to put out a video and see if we can attract any people to the project to fix up those summons.

How complicated are the Summon fixes? Is it as simple as bumping up a few numbers or do you really need to know what the code is doing to figure out what the fix is for each of the 2000 functions?

The problem is that the game was never meant to be 60fps for all things in battle... Changing one part wrecks another.  From what I have seen, and what NFITC1 has told me, fixing the battle to use 60fps for PC may mean manually editing all of those functions manually, and if so, th eproject is pretty much dead.

That's the animation script fixes. I haven't started making those yet because I haven't completely identified all of them.

No. It's not related to that at all. It's not a handler issue either (that I can tell).

...if so, th eproject is pretty much dead.
Stop being such a killjoy. :P Project isn't "dead" so much as indefinitely stalled. The handlers ARE an "all-or-nothing" thing, though.

Dead implies it can't be done. That's not true. I'M not going to do it so it's indefinitely stalled. ;)

my "dead" means the project won't be done, not that it's impossible. I mean the project is dead in the water in terms of ever being completed.  :)  I can't see anyone undertaking that task...  I always feared it would come to that when I saw how every magic seemed to have its own handle.  I was hoping you'd be able to find some sort of workaround.

Are you absolutely certain there is no quick fix way?

We just need a team to divvy up the work

I made the "quick fix" and that's apparently not satisfactory. There is no "less quick fix" other than fixing all of them.

My thoughts exactly. Now all we need is a team of x86 asm experts that understand how everything works and with enough passion for FF7!  :-P
Seriously, I'd love to get a team together to do this, but I don't know anyone who knows how this works apart from myself and DLPB here.

Of course.  It's just not completed.   If you can wait a few hours, I plan to update it with the latest texture fix.

Eh? But I thought I was just reading this project was dead? Or else just some very confusing posts.

Of course I'll wait, I'm not planning to play VII For a few weeks at least, I just wanted to have a nice version setup.

And I am shocked by how bad the Frame-rate is, I don't remember it bothering me before, I wonder if it's because of my 120HZ screen? Two years using that and 60FPS doesnt' seem as smooth as it used to, so I imagine that is my troubles with 15FPS.

If you guys actually manage this 100%, I would not be surprise if SE contacted you to get this put Officially in the 2012 version. No work on their end, but an amazing visual increase in the game.

I would be. Square doesn't work that way. Instead, they would take it, put it in the game and claim they did it, without any sort of mention to this community. No work on their end indeed.

Sorry, give me a few more hours.  Got infected with a trojan that encrypted a lot of my files, so my priority right now is recovering everything.

Great question.   Most likely a torrent.  I had turned off my antivirus (for what I can't remember), so I kinda asked for it.

A virus from a torrent? I've been torrenting since 2003 and thought that was impossible.

What a strange torrent / virus. Don't worry man, take your time, your system is far more important.

Not from the torrent file itself.  Probably from whatever I downloaded.

I just meant I didn't think Viruses made it through torrents is all. No torrent I've ever downloaded over the years has had a virus is what I meant, I thought because of hash-checks, comments, ectera, it was near impossible.

The only way to identify a virus for certain is to be infected by it. Virus checkers aren't always right. They'll catch about 99.5% of viruses and call more progs out as viruses. There's nothing special about torrents that could make them virus free if they were designed to be that in the first place.

Well, you're right.  With comments and number of seeders, you usually get a very good indication.

Yeah, I had gotten one or two rare ones recently that only had a handful of seeders.  I was super excited to even be able to find them.  Live and learn

Malwarebytez and AVG internet security helps me a lot. I was just wondering which torrent that was, as a warning, so as I don't fall for it by any chance.
