Final Fantasy VII Remix - A compilation of FF7 Mods [1.0-2.5.1]

[somethingerotic]

Great mods, everything looks fantastic, everyone who has worked on these should be congratulated, hands shaken, backs patted etc.

Now I have a slight hiccup, and couldn't find anyone else with the same problem or anything to help in any of the other topics. I just installed the game again, downloaded and applied the remix patcher following most (or all) of the configuration steps, and started a new game. The game will play up to the mako reactor and when the very first boss is about to load the game crashes. The battle swirl initiates and the music starts to play, then an error message comes up saying "oops..." and a crash.dmp file was created in the FF7 folder.

I am playing on Windows 7 64 bit domestic version, on a nice shiny new Acer laptop. 1366 x768 resolution, native and in the configured settings, running in windowed mode because I couldn't get fullscreen to work (it would just show a black screen, play a second or two of music and then crash). I have 4 gigs of ram, an intel integrated crap graphics card, and an intel 2.1 ghz processor. I run it as administrator, and it runs smoothly for the most part. The only other problem I have run into is the opening movie plays really slow and glitchy. It is weird, because it doesn't play slow when I first start FF7, only when I start a new game, and the movies all play fine when I run them from the movie folder. I just downloaded some updated codecs so I will see if that works, but thanks in advance for any help.

Update: I installed the PrC scene.bin patch and it works...so far. I had the same crash again when going after the next mako reactor due to a random battle, but then it didn't happen when I restarted and played through the area again. Now I just beat the second boss (airbuster, I think) and the screen faded to black at the end right after cloud fell and didn't load/transistion to the next part meeting Aeris(th). Couldn't get it to work so I just exited, and will retry soon. Full screen mode works though, and no other problems besides what appear to be fixable bugs. I'll also try the updated remix patcher tomorrow. Thanks again for the help.

2nd Update I backed up my game saves on the desktop then uninstalled and reinstalled everything and it all works great now. No slowness in movies, no game crashes; simply perfect (alright, there is one minor flaw that music can be slow to start like after battle victories). Now it looks like I will not being doing much of anything for the next 40 hours. Awesome.

[titeguy3]

You're absolutely right. Tricky hex editing...i had a "5" where I should have had an "F". All fixed in version 2.4 which I suppose I'll be releasing ahead of schedule upon realization of this. I'll have the upgrader and installer uploaded by sometime tomorrow. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thought it might be something like that. I'm a programming graduate myself so I thought something had gone horribly wrong when I saw the huge number. Will the updates be retroactive with my current save? Thanks for continued support on this mod by the way.

Absolutely. Your saves won't be modified in the slightest, and any AP you've collected will carry over. The AP per materia are saved as long unsigned ints, then divided into the stars upon game startup, so everything should be fine (although I'm not entirely sure what happens if you have too much AP...I don't think it causes any problems though)

Great mods, everything looks fantastic, everyone who has worked on these should be congratulated, hands shaken, backs patted etc.

That type of error usually implies that something is wrong with the AI script code that's making things not work. I do believe that I've tested and re-tested Guard Scorpion's AI so it *should* be fine, however, this could be an issue with corruption or some kind of win7 incompatibility... Try downloading NFITC1's "ProudClod" utility and installing my PrC scene.bin patch (available on this thread) with it, and tell me if the issue persists. You shouldn't need to start a new game.

Titeguy.


We Love you.

[titeguy3]

VERSION 2.4 IS UP!

With this version, I've fixed the destruct materia bug, and you can also now choose freely between playing in "Hardcore Mode" or Normal (Remastered) Mode like so:


I've also verified that the Guard Scorpion crash is unique to your install somethingerotic, so I think that either your scene.bin is corrupt, or there's some kind of memory management issue with Win7 that's making it crash.

[MitchDouglas]

Well I at least know now what happens when the AP has gone over the intended limit; It has all four stars highlighted, the required AP says 0, but killing anything to try and level it up does nothing. Looks like I may have to go without Master Magic in my current save. :S

[Beavii]

Just started playing hardcore mode.....

Who had the silly idea that loosing one character makes game over.......

There is so many unstopable* things in the game that will ruin the game unless you cheat....

Yet another mod to manually change.....

*Death Machine Petrifying in the Bombing Mission Is Reatarded with this mod*

Use Jenova game save editor, perhaps? I'm not entirely sure what it can/can't do but its worth a try. You can find it if you search for it.

Haha take it up with Gjoerulv. The "hardcore" mode isn't just a difficulty buff. My mod already does that. It basically makes the entire game a struggle for survival. Its only for ff7 masters and masochists haha. That being said, I do believe I'm going to start a game in hardcore mode. Keep in mind that if you're absolutely stuck at a certain point, you can play it in normal mode, then switch back to hardcore...if you want...

[Beavii]

Lol..

Not to fussed, was just a little frustrating not even getting to the first save point....

Suppose if i wasn't playing this game at work i could do "hardcore"

[gjoerulv]

It's easy to switch to normal mode. Simply copy the scene.bin from any ff7 cd and place it in the data/battle folder. Keep in mind that you need to update the kernel  (use hojo. file -> update kernel).

Ah, that sorted the fellah out. Cheers for the recommendation. Cheesy materia combos here I come. 

EDIT: I actually noticed in my version, the one I updated from 2.3.3. to 2.4, my run standard version .bat file didn't revert the files back to the normal one's when I ran it. Essentially if you update from 2.3.3 to 2.4 and run Hardcore .bat file, your files will be permanently switched around even when you run the normal remix.bat file. I was able to go in and manually edit the normal remix.bat file myself so it does this but I imagine others might not be able to do so.

EDIT2: I notice the update file also doesn't fix the destruct bug either. I'm guessing it's fixed in the full file but not the update.

[albertopsp]

That good work. I have a question .... How do I install it on the Spanish version?

Anyway thank you!

[lalfredob]

Hi!
First I would like to say very thanks to you, Titeguy3. You should have spent some time making this Remix and it's perfect. The graphics are awesome! I know that much of this is work of others, but joining all these patches into one file is remarkable too.
There's just one thing that I'd like to remove, but I don't know how... I almost couldn't wait to taste the AI/weapons/armor/spells mods that you've made, but I'd like to do in the second time playing. Now I want to play without then. How can I uninstall these mods? (New Spells/Weapons/Armor, Remastered AI Script)

Thanks for all!

PS: I don't live in a English speaker country. Have been a while since I've last wrote in English, sorry for any language mistake.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix the upgrader and re-upload it now.
EDIT: The upgrader has been fixed and re-uploaded--to anyone who has already run the upgrader, just re-download it and run it again and everything should be fixed.

That good work. I have a question .... How do I install it on the Spanish version?

Anyway thank you!

Hm, Install it the same way as usual, but it'll make the dialogue and stuff in english.

It doesn't deviate from the original game too much, but this is how you get it back to normal, replace these files with the ones off of your install CD:

data\battle\scene.bin
data\kernel\kernel.bin
data\kernel\kernel2.bin
data\field\flevel.lgp

That oughta do it. Keep in mind that if the last game you ran was in hardcore mode, these files will be preceded by "n_" i.e. "data\battle\n_scene.bin"

Something just occurred to me, this is most likely just a kernel table error. Download and install both the proud clod and the wallmarket patches to fix it OR download Hojo and just use the rebuild kernel table option, and your problem will be fixed.

[albertopsp]

Thanks, but I think I found a solution for the dialogs to appear in Spanish. Replace the file Flevel by the Spanish version ...

You think I lose some of the improvements you Patch remix?

Sorry about my English.

ou clearly didn't read the forum....

Dont post unless you know what your saying......

[Archu]

Little problem here.

I've formatted my pc a while ago, re-installed ff7 and this mod.. Works fine, but there seems to be some kind of admin privileges where i can't play the mod on hardcore.
Whenever i run the hardcore mode, i get a prompt screen with "Access Denied" a few times, runs the game.. but nothing seems to be changing apart from the Normal version.

Does that mean that gjoerulv's mod and added monsters are only in the hardcore version too?

You didn't specify but I'm guessing that you've got Windows Vista and you have UAC turned on...if so, you should already know what your problem is and how to fix it.

[kaiserpc]

great work titeguy3 (and all the others who made the mods)! 

Haven't played FF7 for a while and just found this forum the other day - this mod will make me go back to FF7 (yet) again

for info (as has been said) make sure you turn off UAC before installing the patch.  I'm on Windows 7 64bit and I turned down the UAC to the min level and installed as administrator - and it still didn't work.  So you must disable UAC completely.  Once I reinstalled the patch (with UAC off) it worked perfectly

running great here on my laptop at 1366x768 and the CDs mounted as iso files (via daemon lite)

thanks again!

 EDIT : How to make it into "code" ?

[titeguy3]

replace the < > 's with [ ] 's and remember to end it with "/code"

It looks like the game can't find any of it's files. Are you absolutely certain you installed the patch into where the game was installed initially? Keep in mind that if you have a 64-bit OS, then the install directory is actually "Program Files (x86)" as opposed to just "Program Files".

[DerBrotkasten]

First of all, I want to thank you, titeguy3, for your incredible work. You made the life of many Final Fantasy 7 fans a lot easier. And, of course, I want to thank every talented artist and coder out there, who made the content and this compilation of mods possible. This is a great community.

Since I can't do some models or textures I tought reporting bugs might be a good way to contribute.

I'm running Windows 7 x64 and updated the patch from 2.3.3 to 2.4. I deactivated the UAC for testing purposes.

After the bombing mission there is some flickering in Barrets head. I had to be pretty patient to capture the exact moment.

Still in the train, a piece of Jessies hair is missing (iirc, then someone had this problem already)

Oh, and back in Midgar? Well, let's say that Aerith isn't in the position to sing the US main theme for Final Fantasy XIII "My Hands".

And what's with her eyes anyway?

Another issue I encountered, which is not relatet to the PRP: The direct mode of the opengl driver crashes the application after loading the save game. It says "Oops, something very bad happend." Yeah, I can see that. The game crashed. ^^

Those model issues are, for the most part, known issues, and I'll see about fixing them (or replacing them altogether) in later releases. I personally know that the flickering of Barret's beard has been irking me for a while. As for the "direct mode" option, direct mode is a debugging/testing mode in which the game runs with the lgp archives extracted, to make for easier modification. The reason it crashed the game is because you probably hadn't extracted the archives, and FF7 couldn't find it's system files.

Thanks for the contribution, though, DerBrotkasten.

[DerBrotkasten]

Oh, I extracted the LGP files. I just thought it wasn't necessary to mention it. I know what the direct mode is for and I thought it might become handy for testing some models. You made me curious, though and I checked the folders. It seems that the magic.lgp isn't fully extracted. Ficedulas LGP Tools mentions something about 5000 files and it extracts only about 3000 of them. I tried it multiple times. It doesn't matter if you decompress everything or not. So, is this a problem with the LGP Tools or with the magic.lgp?
