[FF7PC]FF7 SYW "ArkTsukiVock" (v4) upscale : Battle, world map, fields, videos

[heartless4ngel]

Hi Satsuki, I want to thank you for your wonderful mod to begin with. I wanted to ask you something: is it normal or a known problem that in sunken gelnika the game crash sometimes when, after defeating an enemy, reaching the battle end screen? At the beginning I thought it was Reunion's problem so I removed your mod and tried to fight some battles there but everything was fine. As soon as I installed your mod again, after 2-3 battles it crashed again.

Not my mod related, but as Reuinon use png, there is memory issues with textures mods witch can crash the game or corrupt textures

@Orichalcon and ssjkakaroto
I don't kown why you would have this error, witch windows do you use ?

I use Windows 10. I thought it was the antivirus at first, but I checked the antivirus history (I use Avast) and it doesn't list any recent threats. I also tried adding the whole folder and also Winrar's temp folder into the exceptions list before extracting, and I still get the same error.

[satsuki]

could you try this exe instead ?

Thank you! It works!

[satsuki]

Only changed the 32bits icon for a 16bits icons .... realy strange but i already add this bug in a old software version (maybe if dpi > 96)
As i need to add mipmap for fields, i'll do a full update later

[satsuki]

New version 4.20:
-Corrected the icon to avoid crash at launch with some config
-Added mipmap to dds for fields, battle, and magics (need lastest ffnx canary to get a small quality boost)

[Panteleimon]

Inaccurate magic Dance. It is in Konoha folder. White noisy edges and very poor quality. Plus as you can notice the right side of the Maple Leaf is cut in the game, cause some leaves need to be shifted left (I don't know why game developments did it):

Spoiler: show

I have made my version. If you like it, you can use it, no credits needed.

Spoiler: show

P.S. There are 6 files but in original game only three kinds of leaves with two different colors each. I've made 6 different kind of leaves.

[satsuki]

thanks for the report and the fix !
i'll test it and add it if it's ok ^^

[satsuki]

do you mind if i add some colors for the leaves, one single color is "flat", i like your leaves but like to have 3 or 4 colors, do you alow me to mod in that way ?

Yep, this version also works for me. Thanks for the fix!
BTW I'm using Windows 7 x64

Edit:
Small typo:

[Procelyte]

Having trouble running the installer. Keep getting a runtime error when trying to make iro files. Not very savvy with modding FF7. Any way to just download the iro files directly?

Witch runtime error ?
This installed is done to cover all possible installation type, manual, iro pgn, iro dds, and reunion.
Too much work and trouble to update to do 1 archive for png, 1 for dds, 1 for iro dds, 1 for iro png, and 1 for reunion

[Chrestomanci]

Since you're doing manual tweaking, do you need help with the kanji?

Says runtime error 70 permission denied or something of the sorts. Tried to look up how to fix it but it seems a bit out of my skill/comfort level. Didn't want to risk messing up my pc doing something I don't understand. :/

[satsuki]

Try to use the pack from a folder where you have full acces (like "my documents" or the desktop)

[Procelyte]

That worked and now I feel like an idiot. Didn't expect that to be the problem since I only have one account on my pc and it's the administrator. Thank you!

Windows is deleting the file as quickly as I download it. All I have are malware bytes and windows defender. How do I unflag this?

[satsuki]

this installer was a test, use the full pack instead.
if it's deleted just add it to av execeptions

Got it. Managed to extract the whole thing again and use the exe by adding an exception.

But I still just don't seem to be getting it.

I download it off steam, and get the local file address where the ff7 exe is.
I install the FFNx driver as directed.
I open the pack installer, have everything but menus checked, input my ff7 file directory as asked.
Make iro from dds files, wait for the conversion. Install with reunion.
Boot the game up and... still the same. I guess I'm just missing something. But as someone new this modding community, I wouldn't know what that is.

You’re using an IRO file with Reunion?

[StonedKrows]

I've noticed some background elements don't animate, is this intentional? Remako had the same issue. You can see it in the jet-like aspects just outside of the first mako reactor. In the screen directly after the train, right after when Barrett tells Avalanche not to move as a group, they're there on the left past the door.

[satsuki]

Limitation of the engine/driver, no way to fix that ATM

Okeydokey, thanks for replying.
