I am not too bothered about mirrors once the torrent has been out a while. I do prefer that people use torrent when they can because mirrors have a tendency to expire or get banned when bandwidth issues occur.

But as a principle, I don't mind. It will be better when I have a stable long-term release. Like R06 should be.

Watched a video earlier by someone using the Reunion mod in his walkthrough. They pointed out a line where Cait Sith speaks without using its usual Scottish accent, as the party gathers outside Holzhov's. It's only one box of text and it's hard to see which words could be adapted but I just wanted to make sure it hadn't been missed on accident.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3252 on:** 2016-12-24 00:09:35 »

What was the line? Sometimes, as you noted, there are no words to really adapt.

Edit.

Quote

{CAIT SITH}
“This is classified,but…
Rufus will be landing
shortly as well.”

There isn't any way to really adapt that. It's still in a Scot accent. I suppose better would be "Rufus'll". If you wanted to force things "an' aw" instead of "as well". But that's splitting hairs.

I didn't change "but" to keep the accent more mellow.

Matski · « **Reply #3253 on:** 2016-12-24 08:04:09 »

That's the line. Figured it was tricky to change. The best I could come up with was some variation of:

"This is classified, but…
Rufus wull be landing
'ere shortly tae."

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3254 on:** 2016-12-24 08:05:20 »

Yeah, it's just changing dialogue for the sake of it, so I won't change it. There will be numerous paragraphs that don't include a typical scot spelling

It's not a mistake.

Hello, I'm new to the forum. Sorry if this has been solved already, I installed the last version of Reunion for the steam version of FFVII, however after the train scene in which two guards intercept you instead of the battle screen popping up a black screen pops up, music is still on but you can't see anything and it crashes after a few minutes.
Any idea on how to solve this?
P.D: Please do tell if you know of any way to make the PS3 controller work with the game (I use DS3 and it works with every game but FFVII and the other FF PC ports excepting the new ones).

Thanks in advance

If you are using 7th heaven, then I cannot help you. If you aren't, then please ensure that you are using totally clean files before installing The Reunion. I have never seen your error and it definitely isn't an error on my side - assuming it isn't an error with the 60fps option.

I've never seen this error. Keep me posted.

Gwynlar · « **Reply #3257 on:** 2016-12-24 12:20:55 »

May I ask what's 7th Heaven? I just installed FF VII to replay it after so many years, sorry for my ignorance.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3258 on:** 2016-12-24 12:36:00 »

It's ok if you haven't heard of it. Search the forums, because I don't know much about it either. It's used to install multiple mods at one time, but it can cause issues, especially if not set up correctly.

As for your issue, I have no idea what could cause it. Try installing on fresh files, and make sure you are using Aali's driver.

Gwynlar · « **Reply #3259 on:** 2016-12-24 13:12:45 »

Aali's driver? By the way, any solution on the joystick problem?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3260 on:** 2016-12-24 13:28:34 »

No idea about joysticks. That should be placed on a different thread here at Qhimm's. Someone else may know.

If you are using Steam version of the game, then you don't need Aali's driver. If you aren't, then you do. I keep forgetting that Steam doesn't need it.

If you are using Steam, please make sure that you are using fresh original files (then delete Backup-Reunion folder, which is in the game's root folder). Reinstall The Reunion. If the problem persists, try to uncheck the 60fps mod, as that *could* cause an issue with battle.

DLPB,

I have detected something while using FF7 Converter on FF7 Steam edition. If you install Reunion, it will apply all the changes to the ff7_en.exe automatically instead of the old ff7.exe.
Nowadays I just remove the ff7_en.exe entirely so it can detect the old ff7.exe and apply changes there.

I know your mod is working as intended since it's designed for the Steam edition, but if someone is still using FF7 Converter to apply other mods, they will completely miss Reunion changes on the ff7 executable. I only noticed this because I wasn't seeing any changes on the battle with 60fps.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3262 on:** 2016-12-25 07:52:07 »

I am currently in the process of completely overhauling my approach (and probably everyone's) to modding ff7 and ff8. This issue should go away with my new method entirely.

Thanks for letting me know.

Hey, can you use this mod in the spanish version of steam? I just want the 60fps mod

The Reunion is compatible only with the English 1998 version and English Steam version (as of R04) of Final Fantasy VII. All information below, including related posts, are relevant to R04 and above. Releases prior to R05 are now unsupported.

Matski · « **Reply #3265 on:** 2016-12-29 16:25:29 »

Can anyone else verify whether Barrett's overhauled model reappears on the deck of the Highwind as the party (including Barrett) jumps off to parachute into Midgar. If it happens it'll occur a split-second before the FMV is displayed.

Hey there.

I know you don't support old releases, but just wanted to ask a quick question about the old MO in R03e.
When you install over a clean FF VII, selecting only MO, you get an .exe with some stat changes, like described here: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16879.0
If I use that .exe with a new install (just to get the MO), with or without other mods, I get strange stats (like 0 VIT or 1 DEX).

Can you share some light on this problem? (your MO is the only way to get a clean interface since aali updated the driver).

Thank you very much for your time.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3267 on:** 2016-12-30 13:46:53 »

As you said, I don't support older releases. At all. I really don't remember much about my old way of doing it either. Sorry

eXistenZe · « **Reply #3268 on:** 2016-12-30 14:37:17 »

And have you thought about doing another MO for the community? For the next Christmas perhaps?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3269 on:** 2016-12-30 14:38:05 »

The MO thing is well and truly passed. I'm only working with the original graphics and engine.

May I know the reasoning behind removing the "Quit" option from the menu? As you can imagine alt-tab doesn't really work on windows 10 with full screen in this game. I have to Alt-Ctrl-Del and that's just plain wasted seconds I could be using.

BTW... Great great work. Perhaps the best mod in FF7s history (outside of Aali's driver) a simple must have. I disagree with the decision to ditch the font, menu, and other stuff but they were easy enough to add back in to the latest build.

EXCEPT the break 9,999 patch. I need to find a way to get that back in, any hints Sir Dan-O?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3271 on:** 2017-01-07 18:16:42 »

Alt + F4 is quit. Nothing to do with tabs. As for reasoning... it looks better and the quit menus are crap anyway.

9999 patch will need a few entries changing to make it look good with R04+ Maybe someone else can create a patch to add it back in. Definitely not me

Hey DLPB,

I'm having an issue with your mod, with the steam version of Final Fantasy VII. Just recently bought it, great mod by the way, and I used your mod before, once, with the retail pc version of Final Fantasy VII. Regardless, I'm having the same issue as the person that responded one page back. It's where, if the 60 fps option is checked, the game will crash. It complains about an unhandled exception occurring. I have no idea how to debug this, there doesn't some to be an error code. Music continues playing, but all I see is a black screen and the game crashes. Pressing ok to exit the dialog box for the unhandled exception, causes a generic windows error that says the application has crashed, and would you like to close it. If I uncheck the 60 fps option, everything works out great. I can't seem to find any other issues with your mod, the translation works, as do the new models. Also, the 60 fps option is a subset of the general new limiters option. None of that works either. I can't skip cutscenes with start and select and I can't slow or speed up the game with the specific button combination. I thought I should let you know, since maybe there might be others having this issue. Your mod did work great with the original pc release though. Do you have any suggestions? I appreciate any input, thanks.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #3273 on:** 2017-01-08 15:35:16 »

Are you using R05c? Beacause according to The Reunion Database, that's when it was fixed. But R06 will be using a more advanced approach to the 60fps battles.

As for speed up and down... As per the help file, you are limited by the refresh rate of your monitor if vsync is on. So Battles running at 60fps with a 60 hz monitor will already be at the maximum speed. Disable vsync for the game using graphic card control panel (I can't remember if Steam allows vsync to be turned off otherwise). That should do it.

TheDrifter363 · « **Reply #3274 on:** 2017-01-08 15:46:03 »

Hey thanks DLPB,

I am using R05c, if it makes any difference, this is the md5 of the executable: 9b45ff8d70a417d807566d9be2a88812. I understood that speed up was limited to the monitor's refresh rate. That's fine, I understand that. I wanted to also test out the slow down, that wasn't working. So I was thinking, that whole section about new limiters is not working properly. I could try to redownload R05c, from the first page, see if I get a different checksum. I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, if that helps. I bought Final Fantasy VII on steam during the winter sale, about 2 weeks ago, give or take a few days.
