Yeah, that would be great!

TazDef · « **Reply #501 on:** 2005-11-21 15:00:18 »

I did it!! I finally did it!

I just forgot to rename a bit more files.

Here is the tutorial for applying the great HighRes Patch on non-english versions:

1. Make a fresh FULL install from your original FFVII CD.
2. Get the english 1.2 XP Patch.
3. Overwrite the original FF7.exe and the FF7Config.exe in your Gamefolder with the patched ones found in the archive.
4. Apply Saints great HighRes Patch, just like posted in these thread.
5. Replace your language-code from following files:

..\data\cd\cr_gm.lgp
..\data\cd\disc_gm.lgp
..\data\menu\menu_gm.lgp
..\data\wm\world_gm.lgp
..\data\minigame\high-ge.lgp (YES it's "-" in stead of "_")
..\data\minigame\snowboard-ge.lgp (YES it's "-" in stead of "_")

-> into filename_us.lgp (ie. ..\data\cd\cr_gm.lgp -> ..\data\cd\cr_us.lgp)

6. Remove the language-letter form follwing files:

..\FFVII\data\field\gflevel.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gchocobo.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gcondor.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gsub.lgp

(ie. ..\FFVII\data\field\gflevel.lgp -> ..\FFVII\data\field\flevel.lgp)

These are the german files, if you want to patch another version, just look for the same files ending with your language code (ie. _sp for spanish or _fr for french, _it for italian i guess). The files beginning with g, in my german version, should start with s, f or i, relating to your language.

After doing so, you should be able to play the game in HighRes and in your language. Only the Menu still remains in english, but this should not to be a problem.

I hopes this helps.

peace

Coooool!!
Thanks, Taz!!

What about changing main exe to read needed files? It's hardcoded in ff7.exe so any hex-editor will do... I think...

@grisu: Ach dafÃ¼r nicht.

It really looks so amazing. A great job, Saint. You can now see the little shells dropping on the floor, when Barret shoots his gun. Its really an afford.
-------------

Yeah maybe the .exe tweaking could ease the whole process. And maybe someone know a solution for the english menu. I ask myself why square made a menu_gm.lgp when the menu is compiled inside the .exe.hmmm..

So now i try the Reunion patch.... :love:

I mean the background! Why is it so "sharp" and not so crappy like in all the other pictures? I'm playing 4x AA and 8x AF, so what is your trick?

Plz tell us.

Hehe, ich glaube du hast ganz vergessen, dass das hier ein englischsprachiges Forum ist.

So lets talk in english:

I think it will also work without a new installation. But i just mentioned it, to avoid any mistakes. Try. If it wont work, reinstall.

Ah and check your mail!

Chrisu · « **Reply #512 on:** 2005-11-21 15:43:24 »

itdoesnt work!
i have renamed all the files u said,and now ff7 doesnt start!
(i have 1.2 patch and high.res patch installed) :weep: :weep:

TazDef · « **Reply #513 on:** 2005-11-21 15:57:19 »

No i don't have gridlines any more! Its the afford of the great job from Saint. He made a Radeon AA and AF Gridline Patch insetred inside the HighRes patch.

Do you really renamed all files? I just checked my list. But i think i didn't forgot anything. Do you renamed the gflevel.lgp? Thats the one i forgot at first.

Did you reinstalled the game? You better delete the whole Gamefolder and make a fresh installation. Just because you maybe messed up some files.

Just in cause. Make a fresh install! And backup your save folder!!!

That should do it. It worked pretty for me!

Chrisu · « **Reply #514 on:** 2005-11-21 15:58:28 »

i DID!! :weep:
could this be coz my monitor has resolution 1280x800?

TazDef · « **Reply #515 on:** 2005-11-21 16:02:13 »

Ah. Maybe!

Do you have a TFT? Try the 1.280x1.024 patch saint offered in the same patch.

If the files didn't named correctly the game just don't start. Black screen means something different!

Did you took the TNT patch and the hardware acceleration inside the FFVIIConfig.exe?

Chrisu · « **Reply #516 on:** 2005-11-21 16:03:22 »

yes
imean, the screen blacks out short, less than one sec. then, my desktop appears again.

Chrisu · « **Reply #517 on:** 2005-11-21 16:04:13 »

the 1280x1024 patch doesnt work

Chrisu · « **Reply #518 on:** 2005-11-21 16:05:42 »

with the *-ge.lgp files, do i have to writ _us or -us?

TazDef · « **Reply #519 on:** 2005-11-21 16:11:43 »

I renamed them into -us.lgp!

I once again checked all files. U must have forgot something.

Or its because i did not overwrote the FFVIIConfig.exe with the english one. Thats the old 1.2ger vrsion. Maybe try this.

Thats all i can imagine.

Chrisu · « **Reply #520 on:** 2005-11-21 16:13:26 »

o
can u mailme YOUR config youplay with please?

TazDef · « **Reply #521 on:** 2005-11-21 16:26:15 »

Just take this one found in this forum. Use the search function for some time!

http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/hosting/ffsf/downloads/ff7_1.02g.zip

From that patch i used the FFVIIConfig.exe just overwrite your existing one.

From this one i took the FFVII.exe

ok, this did not help... :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep:
could the problem be that i play on a laptop with a max-res of 1280x800?

Chrisu · « **Reply #523 on:** 2005-11-21 16:34:05 »

a new error:
when i run the ff7 WITHOUT Nvidia settings and 320x240 and without D3Drendering, i get the eidos-video, then the game crashes

[EDIT] this occures any time i play with 320x240

TazDef · « **Reply #524 on:** 2005-11-21 16:39:14 »

Your TFT must be able to display 1280x960 and you have to use 640x480 fullscreen and Hardware rendering, or it won't work. Ah and the TNT nvidia option.

Maybe thats your problem. Try to connect another display to your laptop.
