From what are the credits names actually pulled? I've changed so much, might as well do something about this
-
I think they're graphics in some lgp file somewhere. Don't remember where.
-
You can edit the pictures inside the (mod folder)/cr and they will appear in game! :)

This. Grimmy edited them a long while back so that instead of names scrolling it was pictures of the characters. A search for his name and prelude should yield helpful results.
-
so the prelude credits are stored in cr_us.lgp
it's a whole load of .tex files
noticed that a bootleg install has a mod folder for cr, which replaces the prelude credits.
the background and the names seem to be oddly cut in pieces though. How do I go about replacing this stuff?
-
That's from DLPB's menu overhaul.
-
I tried a new install and disabled menu overhaul and the prelude folder still has the images cut to pieces
so I don't think that's it
the game over screen is also cut to pieces
-
How could I go about editing the prelude or the start menu if I was only using Team Avalanche?
-
start menu is just placing buster_00.png in mod/modpath/menu/
-
The Credits screen is in cr and yes they have to be cut up to work in game (it works in parts). game over is in disc. Menu Overhaul changes the prelude screen and Game Over, and it does the FF7 Logo etc after the prelude screen. It also does the prelude credits. The credits are also in cr.
But don't bother adding your own name to it, because that is silly. You didn't create the game.

>implying I was gonna add my name to it
would you please stop this pretentious display of arrogance?
so, can anyone actually useful and non-pretentious give some advice on how to cut up the images?
-
sorry cant help you with that, I'm not knowledgeable in this field.. but out of curiosity, mind if I ask what you are planning to put in the credits?? An image slide show perhaps??
-

That's what I was thinking too but when I did that I still got the regular menu, not the updated one I wanted with the fancy Buster Sword.

Grimmy already had an image slideshow in the prelude credits, I just don't like the images very much. I wanted a custom slide show + prelude for Nightmare 7 since it covers pretty much everything else
@Outlaw
it has to be a real PNG. just renaming a jpeg to PNG won't work
-
I'm using a real PNG but still no change......
-
odd.
ff7/mod/modpath/menu/buster_00.png
thats the path to the file
if there is a PNG there, it should load
if you don't have that, well.. you're missing some essential stuff
-
strange indeed that method always worked for me..
@ JLOUTLAW
mind showing us the image you wanted to use..
-
i dont know why its not showing up.....
-
is it just my slow internet? I think the last post is blank.. you should modify that before haters take notice..Lol
-
Here, maybe this will show the png:
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs48/f/2009/173/7/7/Buster_Sword_WIP_by_Sera_The_Hedgehog.png
Only I've renamed it buster_00.png
-
I'm not sure, but try resizing the image.. say 1024x1024..
-
I modified the size to 1024 by 1024.....but still nothing. I can't figure out how to turn the trick.
-
maybe run the png through a converter and then back to PNG
-
by any chance are you using Menu Overhaul by DLBP?
If you're using it.. try clearing the cache.. I'm not sure if this only works when you have DLBp mod.. but if you see a cache folder in your mod folder try clearing the content anyway..
I tried using that image and it works for me, its a bit low quality and not the right ratio, so its a bit messed up..

I advise you either edit the image or find another preferably higher res..
-
I'm using it menu overhaul by factpinion guy
-
I'm using DLBP's mod.. I had to clear the cache first to make it work.. but honestly I don't like that image, lol find another one.. this one a bit low res..
-
I didnt use the menu overhaul. I did clear out my cache however. Instead of the TA Buster Sword at the main menu, I now have a pic of Cloud and Sephiroth fighting, I recognize that from a certain mod. Needless to say, I want to use another png, but its not loading. Do I have to use the menu overhaul mod to use a custom menu?
EDIT: Finally got it to work. Recleared out my cache...and changed the name of the PNG from buster_00.png to just "buster_00." That seems to have done the trick. Thanks guys.
The Buster Sword png I had looked great when it was small, but when I had to upscale it, it came out horrible. As such, I decided to use another png as my menu. This is how it looks now:

I chose Midgar, because I felt it was the best place to start. It also doesn't give away too much of the plot, as much as say, the menu I saw of Cloud inheriting the Buster Sword from Zack. The game starts with Midgar and evolves into what it becomes once you reach Shinra HQ.
-
cloud and sephiroth fighting.. looks like kulawende's..
lol.. of course it's just buster_00, the .png is a file type extension.. it's already there if the image is a png type.. no wonder it didn't work it'll read buster_00.png.png, you must have set your computer to hide known file extension, well congratz on your new start menu background.. case closed.
[EDIT: removed image it might start another off topic discussion]

Can we go back to my question of how to cut up the prelude image to make it work?
