Looking for old aali's driver

(1/2) > >>

Lusan:
Hello  :D

I'd like to mod the game as I did a few years ago, if I remember correctly aali's driver used to allow these kind of modifications :


Menu overhaul is really cool but that is all I need really :)

Old versions links are down and the latest 8.1b doesn't do that anymore.

Any help is welcome, I really have looked the best I could but I can't find those drivers  :-\

Lusan:
Alright then, found driver 7.11b in Tifa's bootleg torrent, people are still seeding it :D and it works fine, the game is ok, but the music plugin is not.

It is set up that way :

--- Code: ---# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = ff7music.fgp
--- End code ---

.ogg here : FINAL FANTASY VII\music\ff7music



And then -> Error loading music plugin when launching the game.



It looks like the driver can't load its own plugin, how is that even possible.

ff7music is not the plugin for ogg its a plugin to use the program FF7Music to play the music externally of the game . this is the old and error prone solution. the plugin you want to try for ogg support in aali's driver is called vgmstream (iirc) and the songs iirc go in <FF7>/data/music/vgmstream ..

Lusan:
Thanks for your answer ! I have good news and bad news

1st) Error at launch fixed.
I wrote this

--- Code: ---music_plugin = ff7music.fgp
--- End code ---
instead of this

--- Code: ---music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp
--- End code ---

2nd) Even with vgmstream, I still have no music :roll:

the end of app log :

--- Code: ---Entering MAIN
Exiting MAIN
Field Start
ERROR: couldn't open music file: ‹ÿU‹ìQ¡/music/vgmstream/AYASI.ogg
--- End code ---

.ogg are in FINAL FANTASY VII\music\vgmstream\... which seems correct.

Part of app log that shows plugin is loaded :

--- Code: ---INFO: VGMStream music plugin loaded

INITIALIZE DD/D3D END

Lusan:
Try with ff7music.fgp
(This is FFVII steam version with FFVII converter and aali's driver 7.11b applied on top of 8.1b)


--- Code: ---# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp
--- End code ---

This gave me no music at all.

Should I move to the audio section ?
