7th Heaven / Re: Crash after 10 hours of playtime at Shinra HQ

« on: 2021-04-07 21:01:18 »

Thank you for answering, Chrysalis. Just a couple of hours ago, I found a solution! I'll post it here in case someone else will run into this problem.

I had to turn OFF the Resize Project in Field Models. I liked that mod, it made characters look better. I hope they'll improve it one day to solve this issue, as it's really a beautiful mod. I think it crashed during the Shinra HQ because when

Spoiler: show

the NPCs were dead and lying on the ground

it was causing some confict.

The good news is as of right now I am converting parts of the qhimm catalog to DDS, these newer type of textures improve stability so this may fix your problem, I will post on the forum when this is done.

7th Heaven / Re: Can't download Animations mod

« on: 2021-04-06 16:47:48 »

We have removed the download file as it causes too many technical issues with the game.


We cant actually remove it from the catalog listing at this time which is why it shows in the list.

please attach ffnx.log from your game directory.  Grab it right after a crash as it is overwritten when the game is relaunched.

7th Heaven / Re: [FF7 PC] Mod Manager - 7th Heaven (v2.2.3.522 Release)

« on: 2021-04-06 16:43:01 »

Alright that's fair. The way this game is coded, it shouldn't even have mods. I'm just upset that a lot of mods are like "use 7th heaven or JUST ours, that's it!" I hate the fact 7th heaven requires admin access to work. Like wasn't there a way around that? There must've been one. It totally messes up my game flow when I'm using steam and picture mode. I can't have that. So I just won't use it.

And the fact the disc checks are still active on an exe after all these decades. I thought someone would've just said "Yo, people can buy this game on steam, the disc version is ancient, I'm getting rid of the disc check. It's an inconvenience." I'm not the programmer though, that's on them. It's on me to figure out ways around that.

Frustrating is all.

You can extract the mods and implement them directly if you want to, the reason 7th heaven is used is it makes everything "much" easier in terms of activating the mods and supporting the mods.  It does not modify your game files so its easy to switch back to unmodded gameplay, not so easy when you manually applying mods.

7th Heaven / Re: [FF7 PC] Mod Manager - 7th Heaven (v2.2.3.522 Release)

Good morning.

I'm trying to run this mod. I've the Steam game.
I can't seem to install the Field Texture mod of 7.3GB. I thought it took this long because of file size, but now it's been 5 hours that it's listed as "In queue..." after I downloaded it with the client.
Anyone knows how to solve this issue? I would love to use the Field Texture mod.

Additionally, what is that mod that allows to extend max playtime from 99 to 999 hours?

As a last question, I'm playing in 16:9 but this makes 2 black borders appear up and down on the screen. Is there a way to remove them?

Thanks for any help.

My mod ESUI will adjust the max hours that can be displayed, there is also other menu mods but I am not sure if they do it as well.


About the download problem for the field textures, you can try manually downloading from the 7th heaven website directly here.


https://7thheaven.rocks/  links are near the bottom.  After you download place the iro inside the same folder as the other iro folders which should be under the mods folder in your game directory by default.

« on: 2021-04-06 16:16:53 »

Since posting, I've relocated my game to E:\Games and my problem persists. ESUI is the only mod that refuses to work. I've tried many solutions from removing affected mods, restarting 7th Heaven & my PC, isolating the mod, trying different resolutions, different aspect ratios, etc. Nothing has solved the problem. I'm truly at a loss at this point.

The one thing different in ESUI to most other mods, is it uses hext code injection to apply alignment adjustments to menu assets.  The characters not been correctly spaced out is a font spacing problem which in the current version of the mod is applied via hext code, you can feel free to DM me either on here or discord and I will try and diagnose the problem.

Providing they dont make layout changes and its just a graphical enhancement, they can be implemented the same way as the ff7 remake font was done, with a separate mod in the catalogue to be loaded on top of ESUI, so yes any developer can make a custom font as Bonez is doing and Fewtch did.

7th Heaven / Re: FFVII Will not start through 7th Heaven

« on: 2021-02-21 22:24:28 »

I have followed all the very simple instructions for 7th Heaven 2.2 but every time i click play, the launcher seems fine although i'm no expert, a window for FF7 will open as if about to start then instantly closes...no error messages, no obvious reasons... I have already made sure it is not the usual issues like the location of FF7 file. PLEASE HELP

Hi please try launching with the pull down option below the play button "play without mods".


If this works, then try with just one mod at a time, to see if a specific mod is preventing the game from launching, you can also check this post here for a potential solution, although I dont think thats your problem as you said your game windows does initially open.

7th Heaven / FF7 Launch problems - Please read before posting.

« on: 2021-02-21 22:19:45 »

Hi guys.

For those who have problems launching the game, specifically a code 5 error (which may show as multiple attempts to inject), then please do the following.

1 - Navigate to the game installation folder.
2 - Right click ff7.exe and select properties.
3 - Click the compatibility tab.
4 - Select "run in 640x480 screen resolution"
5- Click ok.

This will not actually force that resolution but it is a workaround to the problem, your screen may momentarily go black when launching the game.

Sweet. Yeah, the fonts need to be compatible with the layout of the menus and boxes of the mod; makes sense.

That's cool! Looking forward to see it in action. Any idea on when it would be released?

I also think that a font that's more old-school-like, pixelated or blocky, would be welcome. I know a lot of people who would prefer the original vanilla font while prefering ESUI's UI layout.

In any case, thank you for your work on this. ESUI is part of the tripod of mods that contribute to making FF7 look much more modern, the other two being AI-upscaled backgrounds and textures, and Ninostyle's chibi models.

ESUI lite coming in the next catalog.


It uses zomiplay font with some ESUI layout changes (its not fully featured as some ESUI stuff needs the slimmer font).


Pics here.  Credit to Panteleimon for the font.

Hi guys an update on the controller addon.

After some testing on discord with Alamei, I got to the bottom of the wonder shop problems.


Short version is that there is multiple versions of the shop for different parts of the game, and I didnt apply the fix to all of them.


I have now redone the shop and the chocobo racing menu, to remove the spaces that are there in the stock game so the autosizing works properly, this should be on all of them at different parts of the game, I will release 1.07 with these fixes over the coming days.


After this build goes out there will be another build to support other UI fonts made by other developers.  Then the controller addon will work on SYW, zomiplayfont etc.

Bonez is currently working on a ESUI theme, so when he is ready to release that it will be an new option, I also am considering adding a new font as well my self, but any font I add will have the same spacing so it remains compatible with the layout.

Hey all,

Would it be possible for ESUI to offer a selection of various fonts? I think it'd be nice to have some options. The original vanilla font would be appreciated, for example.

Would it also be possible for ESUI to come with the Buster Glare start screen that it available in the Quimm Community User Interface package? Right now, I have to have the quimm community package installed and activated just to get the Buster Glare start screen. It'd be nice not to have to.

Cheers

Hi, I dont know who made that screen, I would need the author's permission to add it to the ESUI package, but if I find out who it is and get permission I can add it.


Also I replied to someone else on the dialog boxes, choosing the stock dialog box option, will make them solid, but to make it work on the ESUI option, I will provide an option this week.

Hi everyone. Not sure if this has been mentioned.

"Additional rows in inventory screen and command menu's."

Does this mean this mod can make it so the item sub-menu will be like the original Japanese version?

 

If this mod doesn't do it, is there another mod that can? Thanks in advanced.

It does not make the item menu 2 columns, it decreases the gap between each row and adds extra rows, you can download the v1 file still in original post, and in the settings it has screenshots to show you the difference.

Is it possible to get the PSX button prompts without changing the rest of the UI?

There is plans to update the controller addon to support the stock font layout, this would give you the stock PSX icons when I release it.


Also new threat supports the icons without ESUI.

Hi, thank you for the hard work! Although i have a doubt, I'm using ESUI controller addon from the 7th heaven catalog, but when using it it enables by default semi transparent/translucid field chat boxes with no way to turn it off, is there any way to make chat boxes opaques again without turning the mod off?

Also, just noticed there's a bug where this happens:



Once this dialogue box is open the game basically softlocks since you can't move the cursor around the chat options and there's no way to close the dialogue box.

Hi, can you please check if you have the latest version of the controller addon, as that was a previous bug which got fixed in the latest version, if you are unsure of the version please post a screenshot of your 7th heaven window showing your mod list, thanks.


Also the option for semi transparent field dialog boxes I tied into the field dialog style (ESUI option), I can add an option separately if you prefer solid color field boxes.


Originally it was a driver option, but since it was removed as a driver setting, to try and avoid over bloating the options, I just tied it to the field dialog changes as no one had ever requested it to be off before.

Hi Crimsonak, I think this is because you have the game installed in a protected location.


It should be ok if you put it outside of program files.

7th Heaven / Re: Questions abou Controllers and Steam

« on: 2020-11-13 13:45:06 »

The controller should work on the latest 7th heaven app.


If you want to use the controller addon, it doesnt specifically enable the use of controller,s but rather it replaces text prompt such as [OK] with a button icon, you will need to use Enhanced Stock UI if using the controller addon.


New threat now also includes controller icons, so dont use the controller addon if you play new threat, the controller addon is designed for use with the vanilla gameplay.


If your controller doesnt work at all, then the controller addon wont fix that, if it doesnt work, try disabling ds4windows before launching the game with 7th heaven.

Troubleshooting / Re: 7th Heaven crashes after failing to detect installation path.

« on: 2020-11-10 14:30:55 »

either wipe and reinstall 7thheaven, or close it down, wipe the 7thworkshop sub folder and relaunch it, hopefully then it will popup the settings screen again with the new path detected.


If it is not detected, manually select it before clicking ok.
