7th Heaven / Cursor volume issues

« on: 2019-08-20 05:23:49 »

Hello! Since few days (I guess since I musted change my usb headphones to a jack ones) I have an issue with the cursor volume. The first I did was run again FF7_GameConverter_7H.exe to detect the new sound device.

Ok, now the problem is that the cursor sound sometimes sounds correctly but very frequently it goes to a very low volume. If I change it in config to something audible, then in battle the sound is very louder and it hurts my ears.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

7th Heaven / [Solved] Problem with Animation mod - 60 fps battle and The Reunion

« on: 2019-05-28 14:06:01 »

Hello guys, I am trying to mod the game and I found this problem:

https://imgur.com/x1WLJzZ

After a while I discovered that 60fps battles from Animations mod crash my game like this. If I disable it, it works. All my trys are using only that mod.

 I did several reinstalls (with all steps: uninstall, delete folder, FF7-REMOVE-Keys.exe, CCleaner64.exe , reinstall, FF7_GameConverter_7H). Sounds works properly while using the GameConverter. At the end I tryed again all with English instead Spanish with the same result. I even downgrade the 7th heaven to 1.54, that is the one I am using atm.

ff7_opengl.cfg

Code: [Select]

# ff7_opengl-0.8.1b config file



## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution in window mode, your current desktop resolution will be used in fullscreen mode
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 1920
window_size_y = 1080
internal_size_x = 1920
internal_size_y = 1080
preserve_aspect = on
fullscreen = off

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
mod_path = Textures

# check your Nvidia/ATI/Intel control panel settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = on

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
# only affects low-res textures, high-res replacements will still be filtered where appropriate
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, VGMstream requires a set of looping .ogg files in the music/vgmstream folder.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = plugins/vgmstream_music.fgp



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = on

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# minigame fixes
snowboard_framerate=60
highway_framerate=30
coaster_framerate=60
battleswirl_framerate=60

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/SmartBloomAdvanced.post
enable_postprocessing = yes



## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = yes

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = off

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = off

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = no

# max size of the texture cache to hold in RAM, in megabytes
# don't set it any higher than 1GB unless you want your game to crash
texture_cache_size = 768

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# might crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = yes

# use mipmaps (anisotropic filtering) for high-res textures
use_mipmaps = yes

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = on

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = off

# extern additional library
load_library = Multi.dll

Archive / Loveless program - question

« on: 2009-03-31 01:27:46 »

Well... i guess that ppl will start hate me because i am asking alot hehe. I am just trying all programs in the http://wiki.qhimm.com/FF7/Technical/Customising (atleast those that i thing are interesting for me ^^). Now was the turn for Loveless and is really awesome ^^.


I was tring change the first message of the game (just for check it) and i musted edit ALOT times the same message with loveless program but only 1 time i came change the window size and positioning. Then i saw that in the middle column mostly "items" had a "semi-transparent" color and others normal. Those normal were that i can resize.

That mean that those message that i cant resize are not used in game? Just for fill data base maybe or their have other usage?

One more time, Thanks for all.

Edit: Added screenshot

Troubleshooting / Graphics-speed problems with FF7 PC

« on: 2009-03-28 21:00:03 »

Hello again! Well i finally can play my FF7 PC version but i have a prob... A really prob and i dont have any idea what can i do with it.

After patch game and more i can play, good. But the game sometimes it go REALLY FAST. Like 5x or 6x. I could think that it is normal because new machines but... other times it go REALLY SLOW (-5x -6x) and, like b4, it is really unplayable but it isnt normal.

Well, resuming.... When i play the game it sometimes go FAST, othertimes SLOW, the minor times normal and generally it hace few acelerates for 1 sec (generally when the background move). I was thinking that it was because patchs but i tryed it in a clean FF7 and is exactly same.

My PC is like this:

Windows XP Home SP3
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual
Core Proccessor 4400+
2.3Ghz, 2Gb Ram
Graphic Card Ati Radeon 3800 Series

Thanks.

Archive / Weapons in Data Base

« on: 2009-03-19 18:38:47 »

Is there any "patch", program or something for change stats in weapons?

I was thinking really for change the last weapon of Tifa and Vincent that do REALLY less damage than any other weapon, including the first one (or atleast a patch for fix it)

Thanks ^^.

Troubleshooting / FF7 crash @ start in XP

« on: 2009-03-17 12:47:29 »

First at all: hello and thanks for all good guides and stuff that i readed here.

Now de question. I tryed (i guess) all posibility for make my FF7 work good. No care what patch i found and installed, the result is always de same: FF7 start, i only hear the Eidos video and after it finish the screen continue black and thats is all. After it i must reboot my computer. (I can see the videos in windows btw)

My computer is like this:

Windows XP Home SP3
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual
Core Proccessor 4400+
2.3Ghz, 2Gb Ram
Graphic Card Ati Radeon 3800 Series

Just for check that my Cds isnt just bad i installed a Virtual PC with windows 98 and it work but... just very very bad (bad music, slow, all in graphics config fail...).

Well, thats is all.

PD: I tryed donwlad patch in spanish (thats is my FF7 version) from FAQ above that all spanish links are broken ^^

Thanks you.

EDIT: Well, i was looking more posts (page 7 or somehting like it) and looking for those called "ff7 help" or something likes that ^^. Finally i found a post that said "uninstall all codecs, reinstall game and K-lite codec pack wtih all codecs" and... it worked! I will continue trying it but... atleast it worked.

Now i must install new patchs (chocobo race, patch 1.02 for XP, combat arena fix, slow minigames, etc and check if it continue working haha)
