Work in Progress
Something Evil...
Work in Progress
Instructions:
1. Open ff7config.cfg and check your a modpath (for example 'modpath = none' )
2. Extract to your modpath: /mods/[whatever your modpath is]
Example: c:\Program Files (x86)\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\none\
3. Enjoy.
P.S. Thanx for your encouragement :?:
-
so awesome! Thanks Felix!
-
Now we have FL's battle scene enhancement, and SL's field scene enhancement :-P
Awesomesauce.
-
Just tried some of these out - very nice work, looks incredible.
Are you planning to texture the world map too, to go with your battle scenes?
I can only imagine how good it would look... :-o

Dunno, if I find a bit of free time (currently preparing for final exams in the university) I'll try it out=)
-
It seems like only certain ones are working for me, like the beach or the forest. The marshlands where you fight the snake and the grasslands in the overworld map don't work.
-
I havn't done the grassland scene yet. But it's strange that the swamp (STAGE08_T00_00)doesn't work, cause it's in the zip file. Could anyone test it?
-
Lol you copied my instructions. I like that :D

Woah. I knew your work was awesome, and when I saw that there was a new reply I was "Yet Another Careless Reply" but came anyway... A_-_W_-_E_-_S_-_O_-_M_-_E

:-o
Get out. I don't want to see stuff that will never be released.
JK, but that looks amazing. How long did that take you?
Oh btw, it seems something was wrong with my download before, I re-dlled it and the missing one works now.

(who said it won't get released? ::) )
Around 20 textures in 4 hours. Currently there are 28 (415 total).
-
Oh btw, it seems something was wrong with my download before, I re-dlled it and the missing one works now.
It might be my problem, too. I followed the instructions and placed the battle folder in my modpath subdirectory (next to the Field directory), and none of the scenes work :( Still, all of SL's field enhancements work, so it's definitely not a configuration problem... ...This is weird. I'm re-downloading the file as I type this.
-
hmmm... Maybe mediafire breaks the archive=\ try to open png files in the battle directory to see if they are broken
-
dl-ing the archive right now to see that... Could it be used with TA?
-

Yes it can.
-
Oh wow....
-
I tried everything, and they still don't work :cry: Installation is very simple, so it's impossible that I messed up (as I previously said, SL1982's or YarLson's field enhancements work perfectly, as all of Avalanche's menu graphics, and I put your battle folder in the same folder as the field one).
Magochocobo's corel reactor works though, since it modifies the LGP archive itself. Maybe it's a problem with Aali's 0.7.8b driver ? (because of my ATI card, I can't use 0.7.9b *battles don't load* - or 0.7.10b *battle textures messed up*).
It might be selfish, but would it be possible to transform your PNGs into lgp files (like Magochocobo's rjaa, rjac, etc.) ?... ...I'm almost sure you can't do that, but I figured there's no harm done by asking ^^
-
It can be done but it is a lot of work. I believe this needs at least 0.7.9b to run properly.
-
Maybe it's a problem with Aali's 0.7.8b driver ?
I'm pretty sure that is exactly the problem, modpath didn't work correctly with battle textures in older versions if I remember correctly.
Looks like you may just have to wait it out for Aali's next version.
-
woow Its beautiful!!
:)
-
Ha, thanks guys. Looks like I'll just have to wait for a new version of the custom driver, or buy another graphics card to enjoy FL's works of art :)
-
Eyes are in pain, sleepy like dead, but now there are 100 textures done in the world map enhancement ;D
-
That's great :) when is the sky and meteor being done :P The sky looks so crap originally!
-
I second DLPB. Also, because I finally updated my graphics card drivers (and thus, can use 0.7.10b), your battle scenes now work in my game :D (so ignore my previous posts). They're beautiful, your work is stunning ^^
I can't wait to admire your work on the world map :)
-
Man finally ! The Battle-Scene Enchancement I was looking for on Team Avalanche section !
Many many thanks for the release ! Keep up the good works ! :)
Edit : I have tested the OPAC file from the post ^^ (OPAC / OPAD and a third one) I was waiting for the release for a long time ^^
Hummm Ati graphic card with Aali Driver 0.7.10b here (just disable "compress_textures" as I read something saying this can generate issues with Ati Drivers). The "Iceland" field is working here, but not the forest ?! Sl's enchancement working too ... and files seems good (not a download problem I think). I'll test the swamp now ... but can you tell us what are exactly the 10 battle field please (because on the Team Avalanche section, grassland scene is done, right ?). I know it contains Junon Beach, but battle only happends at special moments...
"Iceland" ; "Swamp" & "Beach" (regular Beach, not Junon Beach, not tested yet) are working... "Forest" is working too now ... no changes ! Game have just been restarted (but that's another location on the map ...). Ok seems it doesn't works on all forest locations ! For example it doesn't works for the forest of the ancient temple (the one who became black materia) maybe differents files name ?! (tested with Disc3) :| Will test other battle scenes if you want (on any map location if it can help) just need to know all the scenes to test ^^
PS : For me using modpath is a way better than modifying LGP files, because you can easily enable or disable it ... for my opinion this is a good way to make mods ... (size isn't the problem to my regard). Oh and yes FL, your work is really awesome ! Like everybody says ...
By now I'm aware about 9 battle scenes :
- Beach
- Junon Beach
- Forest
- Mt Nibel
- Iceland
- Swamp
- Shinra Building (Elevator)
- Sector 8 Streets (Disc1 before jumping on the train)
- Sector 7 Train Cemetery
Tests for Forest scenes (means forest found on the world map near the locations) :
- Mt Nibel --> Works;
- Fort Condor --> Works;
- Goblin Island --> Works;
- Bones Village --> No battle ?! oO
- Ancient Forest --> Inside ancient forest did not works (original forest battle scene); outside no battle ?! oO;
- Gongaga -> Did not works;
- Ancient Temple --> Did not works;
- Mideel --> Did not works.
I think that all forest scenes have been tested, no problem with "Swamp" or "Beach" scenes for the moment.
-
The grass land was done by pyrozen, so that's why it isn't in this release
There are two types of forests - [forest] and [ancient forest]. The second one is not done yet
-
Yep that's right for the grassland, I've understand this release only contains your battle scenes ^^ (The other project seems to always be at 9 battle scenes)
Okay thanks for the explanation on forests ! Did not see the difference with the originals battle scenes :? Sorry for my misunderstanding !
PS : Always searching on the 2 battle scenes I'm missing ;D
PSS : So I assume I can temporaly change the [Ancient Forests] by [Forests] to wait for the new [Ancient Forests] scene. Only need to know the [Ancient Forests] filename and to copy [Forests] files twice with the [Ancient Forests] filename right ?!
-
No, the [Ancient Forests] has different trees and background=(
-
Ok sorry, anyway many thanks again for your works, you rocks ^^ :-)
Edit : Found another battle scene "Sector 7 Train Cemetery" :) Looks really great too ^^ With Sl1982's field enchancement it's really a good combination ^^
Reedit : Really impresive details on your textures, for battle scene and for world map too ... good luck to achieve it !
-
Here is how the sand looks now=)

-
Wow, I'm speechless :-o You even remade the sky, and it looks incredibly good !
-
I'm impressed... and that doesn't happen often.
-
I am loving the world map textures but are you working on any new battle textures as well :D
-
Currently all efforts are on the WM=/ But some textures can be used in BS, like grass/dirt/sand=)
-
well its looking really great. What are your plans for the WM? Are you gonna do the entire map? I like the team avalanche WM overhaul but I must say that I like yours even better.
-
Nice - I'd try and adjust the hue/color to better match the original. Great texture work.
-
wow! I'm really liking your take on the world map! i was wondering when someone would give it another go, but i didn't expect such great results. Be grateful that Aali changed the way textures are injected, it was a serious PITA when i redid it the first time. Most of my time was spent hex-editing and creating injector textures, which is probably part of the reason it is still 85% finished.

I think it'll will be done completely, yet the speed may drop radicaly, cause now there will be problems with my studies :P
Nice - I'd try and adjust the hue/color to better match the original. Great texture work.
The color is realy close to the original for most textures(like sand, grass or dirt). Exeption - clifs, photoshop changes the color pallete so I can't pick the original color=/

Yeah, I saw them when unpacked world_us.lgp=)

Hope this is going for titeguy remix mod :-D
-
btw i already have Meteor done, so you needn`t spend time on that

A new world map to come :) Great ! Wish you good luck for your exams and for the world map too Felix_Leonheart :P I like your works :)
Many thanks to Timu Sumisu too, happy to see that you're still active :)
But I have one question please ! If I've correctly understand, now that we can use PNG files for field and battle enhancement, can't we do the same thing for battle models ?! (Like Barret and Cloud... and other mods like PRP ?) converting TEX files to PNG files and using them without modifying the LGP file ?! (We need to know corrects filenames and that should works no ?)
I'm asking that for 2 reasons :
1 - Using PNG Files allow us to use originals LGP files, a way more easy to use !
2 - It's even more easy to enable/disable mods and (for example) making screenshots or footages to compare original version VS modded one
-
from a glance at yer questions (hope i'm answering appropriately) - we could change the textures on battle models... but most of them have no texture. to have a fully textured model, we need to edit the lgp to insert our custom models. Otherwise you'd just be upgrade things like the eyes etc.

Direct mode is the way to circumvent messing with LGPs
Amazing work Felix. I didn't expect anyone to attempt the WM after Pyrozen did it, but damn nice job.
-
Ok I see ! So we still need to modify LGP files for battle models (I've forgot that sometimes the mod can have more files than the original one too !)
I've never used Direct Mode, I've seen explanations on the cfg file, but I did'nt try it yet. Thanks to you two for your answers !
-
Direct Mode - Put the uncompressed files in the appropriate folder. Works as if they were in the lgp itself. Its a beautiful little feature.
-
Wow! That work on the World Map looks astounding! ;D

that was about the time i gave up on finishing, lol. Alberto contributed them in his short time here, and i never bothered to redo them. You working is simply amazing, now i wish i hadn't wasted 6 months working on my version of this, though this is a totally different style.
lee
-

So what's left? Looks beautiful.
-
Some transitions, underwater and towns. 235 of 415 are done
-
@ Pyrozen : You haven't wasted 6 months working on your version ... this was already a really good enhancement ! This was better than the original map in anyway ! So it wasn't a waste of time (I was happy using your world map !).
I agree, I prefer the textures from Felix_Leonheart, but when did you do your version ? .... So all I want to say is that your version was really appreciate too !
@Felix_Leonheart : I wish you good luck, I've understand that you have exams and what you have started need a lot of works ... so just good luck to you !

Now I need your thoughts about this meteor:
(http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/4904/ff72011032922484486.jpg)
-
impressive :o
good work man ;)
-
definitely a good start on the meteor. Although I think it should look a bit more violent.
-
Maybe some more red, that is if the game is not using additive blending on it.
-
Looks like a purple blob of smoke to me.
-
definitely a good start on the meteor. Although I think it should look a bit more violent.
Violent you say... Hmmmm....
Maybe some more red, that is if the game is not using additive blending on it.
Yep, it uses additive blending, so the meteor will be always pink X|
UPD: How about this then?
(http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/6643/ff72011032923253580.jpg)
-
Not really, but I believe that you should make it the same size but a bit lighter so it is more obvious...
-
Still looks odd. That perfectly circular patern isn't really working.
-
it close but there is something off about it, can't quite put my finger on it right now.
-
Yeah, just watched the meteor in the videos=( I think I got the main idea, but it needs exp and some new brushes.... Now let's see if some photoshop tutorials will help^^
-
have a meteor

edit : i might have a higher rez one lieing around, will check later.
-
I really like that! :D
-
Looks good))) I guess this is the best choice for the meteor :)
-
I agree Timu Sumisu's take on Meteor is the best! ;) I'd perhaps just make it a tiny bit smaller but it's just nitpicking.
-
btw i already have Meteor done, so you needn`t spend time on that
Yes the meteor by Timu Sumisu is really great (surprising ?! I don't think so :P), but I think Felix_Leonheart did not see his comment earlier ^^ Seems like Timu Sumisu was proposing his meteor on this comment ... good idea ! No ? :P I don't really think that it's need any modification, men just remember the original one ^^
-
I would add that it maybe looks pink originally because of the atmosphere. I am not sure but maybe that is what the original design team were getting at. Maybe not?
-

Yeah, I overlooked it -_-
-
I know its not felix department but wouldnt be possible to make the sky move when we move around?
I mean the sky background moving a bit, going tru clouds, etc..
-
Anything like that is possible but it takes someone to code it, and it isn't a case of easily adding it. Don't expect that happening any time soon, if ever.
-
Humm, well then i guess it would be better to have a sky background where the clouds dont kiss the groung to simulate better the movement, kinda like what happened in FF6. imo ofc.
-
i agree a move convincing skybox would be cool, but i would be happy with an increase in the draw distance of the current world map. right now things don't pop into view until your nearly on top of them. not sure if it is even feasible to do this though, i have no idea of the mechanics behind the world map.
-
i would be happy with an increase in the draw distance of the current world map.
I too would love this!
It's kinda sad that these beautiful textures are going to keep 'popping' up.
Indeed it doesn't seem like an easy thing, but on the other hand, hacking the draw distance is kinda common in pc games.
I used one in FFXI lol.

Found some good tutorials, soooo:
Custom meteor Mk.3

I like it, felix_leonhart! :wink:
-
Good stuff, looks pretty accurate to the videos :D
-
After seeing your first attempt at meteor, I admit I doubted you. Now I just feel foolish.
-
felix- with the way it blends color, the black in your meteor texture come out transparent in the world. fill the inside with a bit of red so that it fills out the meteor
-
Rised the colors. Still the middle needs to be a bit darker (transparent).
(http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/144/ff72011033119533949.jpg)
-
less transparent - more highlights. just raise the contrast on it.
-
absolutely stunning! I cannot wait to play FF7 with your new world map.
lee
-
I think its ok.
Removing the blue would mean the meteor has passed the atmosphere thus having its real color.
I could be wrong and a recolor of that parts could make it better, so i'll wait and judge later.
-
there is no logical explanation as to why the atmosphere would make any part of the meteor completely transparent :evil:
-
I think the black holes in meteor must be blue :evil:
(http://sciencetheatre.org/ask_st/032096.html here is the explanation of why the sky is blue)
So everything black (including the universe and the meteor) that is outside our atmosphere will be blue. Like the moon when it's daylight ;D
-
actually...
I think that makes sense :-D
-
Awesome :o
-
Now that is a nice looking meteor. What's left of the World Map to retexture?
-
yeah also, give us an option of installing the red one, and to hell with science. ;D
After seeing your first attempt at meteor, I admit I doubted you. Now I just feel foolish.
Yeah seriously felix, dunno what you were smoking the first time round but can I have some and enter that vortex you created back there? :P This new one is more your standard.
-
wtf? FF7 has characters that can attain ridiculously impossible feats, yet they use real science to determine the color of meteor being visible from daylight?
:o
-
Its more than science, its aesthetics. Usually we find that colors that would actually occur in nature are the most desirable choice. :mrgreen:
-
wtf? FF7 has characters that can attain ridiculously impossible feats, yet they use real science to determine the color of meteor being visible from daylight?
:o
I tried to explain this elsewhere, but there is a meld between real science and pure fiction in any fiction. If Nanaki jumped 400m into the air during a cut scene and sliced off a rock with his teeth you would laugh.
Good Fiction has to have believability, even if not always being totally realistic. It has to work within the laws it sets out. This is one of the main reasons why Advent Children is god awful... it broke its own laws and suspension of disbelief. It became a farce of special effects...
However, meteors colour is hardly a deal breaker :P
-
It was more of a joke what i said, as I've heard that kind of stuff about fiction before, yeah - AC definitely killed that. Even the normal characters were doing things regularly that you would think only people like cloud could do.
I think the reason it worked so well in FF7 was because that stuff was in there, but mostly as limit breaks - so it's like, "okay, only when this guy is powered up he can jump like this", etc. Having that happen all the time is like the main character of something beat every single person in existence all the time just because they are the main character.
-
Well the other thing is that you have to have that sort of thing in a game. A game that plays like a film isn't very good... same as a film trying to be a game. In a game you turn a blind eye to things like Limit Breaks and collecting balloons because it is gameplay and expected. if you saw Cait rolling dice in a movie to damage enemies, you wouldn't :P That's the ultimate problem with AC, it was geared completely to moronic titillation and not to sane level headed storytelling. It tried to be a game within a film... and ended up being about nothing but graphics.
-
yeah also, give us an option of installing the red one, and to hell with science. ;D
Yeah, I'll include the bright one as an option))
Yeah seriously felix, dunno what you were smoking the first time round but can I have some and enter that vortex you created back there? :P This new one is more your standard.
Who smoked weed? No one smoked weed >_>

Who smoked weed? No one smoked weed >_>
haha probably wouldn't be so far along if you had
-
Are you going to make a more busy water texture than the normal look for the ocean?
One thing I really liked about FF8's overworld is that the Ocean looked much better, because of the way the texture looked and tiled.
-
Bad news: What an unlucky weekend.... My windows was corrupted by a virus, I reinstaled it, but now I don't have photoshop and Aali's driver displays white textures cause of the new nvidea drivers (praying that he fixes it soon) T_T
Good news: Releasing an alpha version of the WME project. Beta will be out when I finish all the ground textures. Only towns will be left for the last.

Woohoo! :) Gonna give this a whirl!
Aali's driver displays white textures cause of the new nvidea drivers (praying that he fixes it soon) T_T
Isn't that just with the beta drivers?
Use the current ones: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-32bit-266.58-whql-driver.html
-
But the beta drivers give 400% speedup for Dragon age 2...
BTW... Post someone some screenshots cause I can't do that now (that's why using old screens for the first post)
-
Can I ask what's released in the newest version?
Thanks for all your hardwork.

The World-map Enhancement was released, a rework of the world-map textures.

Just downloaded this link and it turned out to be the battle scene enhancement lol :(
That's why I was asking before, I thought it was an update for the battle scenes.
World maps looks great. :)
-
Just played it, and wow, this is a fantastic alpha.
Much further along than I though, it's really looking good.
Here is my feedback:
- The meteor may need to be slightly higher resolution, it looks a bit blocky.
- The chocobo footprints should be a tiny lil bit more obvious imo.
- The texture tiling is a bit too obvious in some parts of the snowy mountains.
- The waterfall on the river near the sleeping man, is it possible to blend with the river slightly?
These are really the only problems I can find, this is really great work. :)
Also a question, is it possible to texture the dust / water kick-ups from vehicles and chocobos?
Especially wondering about the water kick-up from the airship, it just looks like flying pixels lol.
-
It's beautiful man, most amazing WM update ever. Sorry to hear about your comp.
Something interesting, earlier in the thread we were talking about meteor being purple, and someone posted a link explaining how that made sense seeing it through the atmosphere in the daylight.
Look at this, meteor before we fly over midgar:
(http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff334/BloodShot_2142/Meteor.jpg)
After we are over it:
(http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff334/BloodShot_2142/MeteorRed.jpg)
As you approach the environment changes to a greenish color, but it changes meteor from a purple color to what would appear to be the real color of meteor - this was probably done to simulate the fact that midgar's Mako reactors have been polluting the atmosphere for years, thus making the atmospheric gasses and ozone layer weaker, and that actually makes sense.
Wow, that's some nice attention to detail right there.
-
Timber
Thanx for the feedback. I'll correct it, but dunno about the waterfall - it's an annoying texture, will try to experiment with it.
BloodShot
Yeah, square made a big unrealistic realistic world XD

Quick mod question, did you intend this to be used WITH the WMRP? Because when I try it without any of the unfinished textures just become some random transparent lined texture that changes while I play.
-
Also a question, is it possible to texture the dust / water kick-ups from vehicles and chocobos?
Especially wondering about the water kick-up from the airship, it just looks like flying pixels lol.
Hmmm, there is one image that has a lot of worldmap effects in it. So it's possible to make a HiRes of the effects.

Hmmm, I used a vanilla version of the game, so I don't know how it will react with WMRP=/ Can you post a screen of the bug?
-
Sure,
With the WMRP:

Without the WMRP:
(http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff334/BloodShot_2142/withoutWMRP.jpg)
Those weird textures randomly change after battle sometimes
I mean, it's fine because the WMRP seems to just replace the textures that aren't in your mod, but without it the ones you haven't put in just do that.
-
WMRP uses a modyfied world_us.lgp. You can copy the vanilla world_us.lgp from the disk and that the bugs will dissapear.
-
Ah, ok that makes sense.
-
Looks like the textures are too high-res for my 720p monitor (they look too busy and grainy, if you know what I mean).
I guess I won't be using this mod.
-
Thanks for this mod felix, it may be unfinished, but It makes me want to go sightseeing on the world map. It's like going out into the FF7 world for the first time again :-D

Would it be possible to have some screenshots of the original and reworked areas side by side?
It would be nice for a direct comparison without having to run the game and play it.

Hold that thought. The driver may be able to sort out this grainyness issue.

That has got to be the most common battle area that sticks in my mind. That is amazing! Only thing I want to note is the ground may be a bit too bright compared to the original, as isn't it an overcast day? On a side note, that new interface almost makes it look like you're playing FF8 with FF7 characters :P
-
Yeah, BTW, my mod is stand-by... Does anybody knows how to import models (and, of course, have time to teach me)? If so, PM me.
-
Excellent work, FeliX Leonhart and thanks for the screenshots.
The only part I am not so convinced about is the world map grass which looks a bit... I wouldn't know the tech word but I'd say messy, if you know what I mean (the grass in the latest battle scene picture instead is simply marvellous). I am sorry I cannot come with a real constructive criticism.
Keep up the great job!

More world map feedback:
- The grass patches in the middle of the Midgar Zolom Swamp look a bit too 'green and clean', needs more 'wet and muddy'. :)

Yeah, it's a bit noisy. Firstly, let's wait for new aali's driver
-
Try turning on linear_filter in the config file. I dont recommend you to play with that setting on but if that makes it look better there's hope for a driver-based solution.

I'll give it a try, then I'll let you if it worked (I need to download it again first).
EDIT: Yeah, it's definitely better with it on. The graininess is significantly reduced.

This proyect is amazing! Thank you very much for your effort Felix. I have seen the entire worldmap and only found this problem with the same texture:

you do know what a WIP means right? Anyway just wait until the final release before complaining about how textures are showing up
-
sorry but I not complaining. I only asking if this problem is for my configuration
-
I know I am just telling you that a WIP has a lot of errors like this so its very unlikely that its just your problem. Is this happening to all the mountains on your world map or only a specific spot?
-
only happen with all the mountains that use this texture. the rest of the worldmap is perfect. I do this question because in this picture doesnt appear this problem, thats all
(http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff334/BloodShot_2142/Meteor.jpg)

Could have something to do with settings in Aali's driver, or the fact that i took that screenshot with this mod plus the WMRP.

Ughh, not working for me, i followed those simple instructions you provided, extracted the download to the "mods" folder in my FF7 game directory, which now has a battle folder, and inside that, all the files which came with the download. I clicked on them and they open up, but when i run the game, it looks just the same as before, my pc isn't that new, so could it be a requirement that my pc needs in order to run this mod?

Is your path: mods\Qhimm\battle
or
mods\battle?
The first one is the correct path but the "Qhimm" Part is an example, it can be named anything.
Have you also set up aali's driver correctly? Open up ff7_opengl.cfg and find where it says "mod_path" and change it to what the folder in the "mods" folder is called. For example mine would be mod_path = Qhimm.
Also, if you're talking about the world map, that's a serperate download on the first page. Also remember that this is work in progress (WIP) so not all battle scenes/textures on the world map have been completed.
-
I think i just downloaded the battle mod, without noticing the world map enhancement link at the bottom, so i will download that too now, in the mods folder was just the folder i extracted (battle), but i have now created a folder called Qhimm, and stuck them into that, so hoping all will go well, changed the mod path in Aalis driver too, thanks for your help.

Edit: All seems to be in working order now, thanks.
Ughh, was just thinking of editing my above post before double posting, sorry!

That's some nice grass, that.
No, really. Most community grass backgrounds end up too flat (just a homogeneous sea of green), or far too grainy and busy. Yours seems to strike the right balance, which is pretty unusual. Nice work.
-
Sh*t man, the original models look like crap with the background now :P
Seriously, you know something is good when it looks like you cut pictures of the FF7 models and pasted them in a real picture :D
-
Ye, we need someone to make the battle models and have Felix texturing them :evil:
-
^ its being taken care of, don't forget about Team Avalanche now!
-
felix is a member of TA afaik, if not on the roll, in spirit - this stuf'll show up in the installer eventually.
-
afaik, I'm listed in TA ^^
Eh, can't wait for june, there will be 24/7 free time, so things will go much faster then ;D
-
indeed! I'll only have summer calsses then ^^
-
Thanks again FL ! (For Grassland battle scene this time) :)
-
.
-
If you want to model a plain of grass, go for it. Keep the blades short though.
-
Good luck getting it into the game.
-
Theoretically all that needs to be done is create a completely flat plane with a bunch of small raised bits on it, then replace the floor plane in the original. There shouldn't be any problems doing that.
-
Looking forward to forest battle scene.
Felix has already released the forest scene
-
Hey i got a question i put the files into my mod file right why are they not showing up?
-
They need to be under the battle folder.
-
they need to be in a modpath not simply in the mod folder.
here is a copy of the installation instructions for my mod, it'll work the exact same way for this only replace the word "field" with the word "battle" in what's below and your golden
to install just place the field folder in your mod path "mods/(mod path)/"
for example if your using the Team Avalanche Graphical Overhaul then you would place it in "mods/avalanche"
also make sure you have the mod path set up and activated in Aali's config file
for example
mod_path = avalanche
-
i got it guys thx for the help
-
Felix has already released the forest scene
There is also the ancient forest scene=)
-
just did a fresh install of FF7 and finally got to use this ingame and I am super impressed! Anyone who hasn't tried it out yet should, it is simply beautiful! Now if only we could increase the draw distance of the world map and implement some kind of fog....

Yeah, I mentioned the same thing in a different thread, but this mod sparked the idea. It would make 7's world even more breathtaking with this mod + that.

too bad i am still a ways off in my programming classes, i wouldn't even know where to begin. Started self-teaching myself C# while im in a VB class right now. Fortunately they somewhat similar, my next class is in Java programming. Maybe i can take a crack at it in a year if it hasn't been done by then, lol.

Hey Felix, great.... no... AMAZING work you've done here!
Question though, where are the models for the town's located?

they don't exist yet bro at least not for us, hence the ALPHA release ;)

Things have changed. Grimmy did find and replace them. However, the way they tile was somewhat unpredictable, but what he accomplished is still eons better than the original. Should be around here somewhere. Do provide a link if you find them.

Not sure, as I hadn't checked the "WMRP" when I used the installer. :-\
-
Where do I install the files ? I just downloaded it and have the world folder with the PNG's in it. Sorry im a noob.
-
The world folder must be under your modpath if you have even one. See the first page if this isn't the case.
-
Is there any way to get this to work with the ficedula music patch?
-
yes sir there is and it's quite simple. Just install both ff7 music as well as this and be sure you follow instructons carefully and it should work no problem.
-
I have them both installed, it works when I run the original but not when I run the music one.
-
thats strange. Ff7music should be running the same exe so there shouldnt be any difference. So your saying the world map enahancement doesn't work when you use ff7music or is it the battle scene enhancement or both?
-
I haven't tried the battle scene enhancement yet, the world map enhancement isn't working.
-
in aali's config make sure you have the ff7music plugin setup correctly. Thats the only thing I can think of right now.
-
Its working now, I just had to move some files around, but now I have a different problem. Theres random spots of old texture.
-
There will be, it's not 100 Complete I believe.
-
Yep, they are not done yet. They will be all done in June, cause now exams are top priority for me=/
-
Great work so far. Except now I can't get the music patch to work right. From what I've done, the music patch has to be in the ficedula folder in the ff7 directory for the music to work. But in order to get the graphic enhancements you have to have the patch in the main directory, but then the music doesn't work. I'm running on vista which may be the problem, but if someone could help that would be fantastic.
-
Does anyone else have both working together?
-
I do.
-
How did you get yours to work?
-
By following the instructions...
-
I followed the instructions exactly, even with videos.
-
Dude, it's simple. Create a modpath (if you haven't already) in your \Final Fantasy VII\mods folder (basically it's just making a new folder, if you avalanche already created, use that!). Make 2 new folders called "battle" and "world" in your new folder. Put the battle files in your battle folder and put the world files in your world folder. After that, your configuration should look like this once you have open it. For example, here's mine:
# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = avalanche
And don't forget to turn off the cache.
-
That's pretty much exactly what mine looks like, both are installed correctly, and they each work separately, I have no idea whats wrong.
-
Did you update Aali's driver?
-
I have the most recent version I think.
-
I just followed all the instructions, but whenever I run the game, it shows this error "You have an error in your config file, some options may not have been parsed. (no such option 'mod_path') I installed ff7 remix and it didn't create the mod folder. not even with "modpath". My opengl config didn't had that option in the first place, im using the last aali's custom driver

Please redownload the aali's driver, and overwrite existing files including ff7_opengl.cfg. That will fix your problem.
-
Ok I have downloaded the latest Aali's driver, and it shows now most of the options including mod_path, I created a "mod" folder inside the "mods" folder, then I edited the opengl config to "mod_path = mod" and put all of battle files and world files in their respective folder, but it doesn't work, what am I doing wrong? I have also turned off the cache.
-
hahaha
haha...
ha?
Well, the modpath must be a SUBFOLDER of the folder mods... persistent error it seems...
-
You are getting me wrong, this is how i have my folders "mods/mod/battle" and it doesn't seem to work, I've just started a new game, and im testing it with the first battle cloud gets in
-
Well, it works for me... Dunno sorry
-
Put another / after battle
-
Should I make 2 Mod directories??
mod_path = C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\Battle\
mod_path = C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\world\
-
yes and yes
-
-_- Installer is really needed.....
-
Multiple modpaths do not work.
-
:-D It's not really difficult ...
Arsirus UK :
Just make that folder as modpath : C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\
So on the config file : modpath = mods
Then you extract files on that folder so you will have :
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\Battle\
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\World\
And the game will found the files. The subdirectories doesn't need to be specified ...
-
Kyo13 > YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG!!!!!
In fact, you need to create a subfolder and call it whatever you want, then change your modpath to this...
-
vgr... thats what he instructed
-
Thanks Timu ! But right Vgr, I've make an error :/ (And you know that too Timu, but it seems you haven't seen it :P ... Vgr, maybe there's another way to notice that ?! lol)
In my desire to simplify the task to Arsirus UK, I told him to use directly mods folder. And indeed, a subfolder must be specified ... I thought it would work well. I've tested it ... and right, using "modpatch = mods" does need another "mods" subfolder into the "mods" folder :/ ... I use myself "Avalanche" as subfolder ... but hey I wanted to simplify ... (bad idea)
So if I use again the same example :
If you use on your config file (The only thing you need to specify on the ff7_opengl.cfg file ! Not the complete path !) :
modpath = mods
Then the correct mod path must be (I mean "physically" on HDD) :
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\mods\mods\
And not (as I've told before) :
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\mods\
So the result must be (Complete path is only to understand the result on HDD ...) :
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\mods\mods\Battle\
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\mods\mods\World\
So there was a little mistake and I'm sorry for that ... but right this does need a subfolder :/
PS : When I was saying "the subdirectories doesn't need to be specified" I was talking about "Battle", "World" folders, etc ...
PS2 : I used bold characters to explain what folder is indicates. As stated Vgr (and like most here know) just replace the (bold) "mods" on my example, by whatever you want ... I hope this time everything is clear to understand ?! (I'm talking to Arsirus UK of course ! ^^)
-
hey guys i have been PMing arsirus UK for the last couple days, helping him get palmer and the modpath working, so there should be no more need to clutter this thread. Just a friendly FYI
-
why not make a readme file in with the mods that are being made so people know exactly what to do wouldn't be hard!!!...just an idea ;-)
-
you don't ask a magician how the tricks work, right?
in a way i feel like learning what it is you've got with a mod and how to implement it is some sort of right of passage.
i think the general feeling about it on development side around here is something like: "no one reads those readme files, anyway" and i'm sure they're mostly correct.

Yep, readme files can't explain all the tricks of modifying images.
But for starters they must first learn the basics image editing (there are a tons of tutorials explaining them)
After that starts the most interesting part - getting the techniques for particular images/textures. You can find some tutorials or if you have some experience - guess from others work. So if you learn a lot techniques not at the same time, but only for a particular image - the learnin process will be much easier.
As for the process of redoing textures:
1) Determinate what do you want to do and how, check tutorials, get the needed brushes and textures.
2) Compose the image
3) Add shadows/highlights, adjust saturation, brightness, contrast, black/white levels, etc... to get a good lookin texture =)
UPD: Speaking of basic techniques. Warp and Distort are quite good tools=)
Here is what can be done with them by combining train graveyard scene textures and sl1982's background textures:P

I am beginning to be concerned that these mods will draw negative attention from Square-Enix... They are so hq, if they want to make a new FF7 it's almost like it will be 3rd version.

-

Firstly you make the texture in 2d, than you change the angle and stretch to match the original. The tricky parts were the inner parts of arcs where Warp was needed. Still CS3 on my note is not confortable like CS5, and that slows the process =P

Could? No. Will? Yes.

oh man, I hate how SE made the town textures -_- It's like some kind of anti retexture protection XD

:P How does it work and how hard will it be for you to replace them all?
-
:P How does it work and how hard will it be for you to replace them all?
For example - on the farm I have to rotate the whole texture 5-10 grades counterclockwise so that at least some of the windows will be horizontal -_- Also the textures are sometimes splited, and a bit shifted so they don't look seamless :(
Btw, all the mountains are redone now, so now they have the same color pallete as original textures=)
-
Hmmm is there any way around that? at all?
-
I don't think so, cause it needs the texture placement to be modified -_- I'll try to finish the farm, will post the result later
UPD:
Eh, I don't like how the windows are placed but can't do anything about that =(

OMG! AWESOME FeliX Leonhart! Keep on the good work!

Finally an improved midgar :) I never really liked the way it was. I am very impressed
-
ugh... we really need to rez that midgar up

Beta released :P
-
Amazing stuff. As usual. The chocobo farm looks great too, so does Midgar.
-
Midgar looks awesome man, I agree with Timu however. Midgar needs to be larger. I've always thought it looked... well tiny haha
-
the scale isnt even that bad on the WM, its just the low poly count is very... jarring, and impedes appreciation of texturework.

I don't think it is supposed to be to scale or fact... it is just for locating stuff. I find it cute :P
-

I agree with the low poly count, but that aside this is stunning. Shame we've not found a way to "unlock" the WM mesh's secrets so we could modify it even further.
-
i'm pretty sure we can actually, i could be totally wrong, but i know we managed to swap a model, turning the gold saucer into clouds head... .or something like that. so custom swaps shouldnt be far behind
-
If I remember corretly Aali worked on that and found out that the format itself was way too restrictive and the map poly-count could only be improved by using some kind of overlay. Could have misunderstood him, though.
About Gold Saurce, I think it was stored in an independet P file (just like the rocket) and thus it could be changed easily.
-
yea we're talking things like buildings, which i think midgar is included with. I dont imagine we can easily change the map mesh.

Sadly, Midgar is part of the WM mesh.
Here's Grimmy's list of what isn't part of that mesh: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=9321.msg126488#msg126488
Yes it would be great if the towns were models that could be edited in blender, because then you could adjust the uv map to fit on the above towns. As it stands now these are the only models that appear on the world map.
World map .hrc list
aaa- north crater dome
aba - buggy
aia - junon canon
aja - white chocobo
ata - cid
bbe - cloud
bkd - fort condor phoenix
ble - ancient key
bna - Diamond weapon
bud - emerald weapon
cec - sunken gelneka
cfc - gold saucer
cgd - highwind
cid - highwind 2
cmb - midgar cannon
cnb - anceint forrest
coc - Rocket town rocket
cpc - rocket town platform

dic - stone henge thing
djc - red and white striped pole
dkc - metal key of anceints
dlb - tifa
dva - tiny bronco
dyb - ultima weapon
eje - underwater mako reactor
eke - shinra boat
Everything else is a texture being applied to the world map mesh. If someone find away to edit that thing it would be fantastic.
-
balls.
well, another way to deal with the wm is to redo the whole thing, and just pack it into someplace like kalm, and scale/move it to cover up the original... perfectly :P
-
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't aali give us some map2obj / obj2map tools not too long ago?

Yes he did and it works! He said you would be abkle to even add bits to the world map with it.

I Just register to say... THANKS, sincere Thx for your work. I'm almost speechless :-X
FFVII simply looks so d4mn pretty after applying the big "Remix" pack and then your WM and Battlescenes.
It's a shame Square never re-released FFVII, but thanks to you, the game has truly revived :mrgreen:
C-ya!

It's not yet fully revived, there is always work to do=)

Very sorry about my english because i am a vietnamese....
Thank!
Well, I'll try to help.
First:
Do not use the "lgp" version of this mod.
Use the download links from page 1 of FL's Original Post--the one you replied to, and the one I'm replying to ;)
Second:
Put the downloaded files into the ff7 mod path directory- this is the complicated part, if there is one
mod path is set in the ff7_opengl.cfg
mod path should be mods\avalanche or mods\DK if you are using the new Menu Overhaul.
Third: Continue to ask questions here if you need help, practicing English is hard but maybe only practice will make your English better. It is not a bother to me as this is an International community.

No need to do the missing textures cause they are in work, but pictures with bugs would be good, cause some of them maybe can be fixed
-
hey,
just flied a bit over the world and found some more ugly things.
i put the file names into the pictures to easier identify the buggy ones
i created a bug pic folder on my skydrive:https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=963954B82C17B88E#cid=963954B82C17B88E&id=963954B82C17B88E%211615 (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=963954B82C17B88E&id=963954B82C17B88E%211615)
-
It's not buggy, some of them are just not done, and the others are from WMRP which is done in a different style so they don't look right together
-
Just a random fact, but the Remix installer damages 179 world map textures.
I'm looking forward to the next update of this project!
These textures are absolutely stunning.
I appreciate your adherence to the original style.
Even the few remaining old textures fit acceptably with the new art.
I like those little reminders of what the game used to look like.
FF7 gets better and better . . .
Thanks,

Sadly it's hard to make anything good on a netbook (PITA to draw fast several lines in PS, moving vertices in blender, etc...), therefore all the good stuff you'll see starting from september^^

Now PS became completely buggy when painting in hi-res, so here is something low-res:

Agreed. Don't try to hide it, you are a professional texturer...

Is it sad i just discovered this project? XD
How does this stack against pyrozen's textures? Didn't he do the whole world map already? Cause.. if these are higher res. i'm down for it! :D

Pyrozen's are done in a different style so they don't match well. Towns and underwater are left to be done=)

i may have blazed the trail, but felix came behind me and laid down an 8 lane superhighway! TBH i quit using mine as soon as he released his....so much time wasted lol. Can't wait until some of these spell effects start coming out, i've been waiting forever for someone to try and tackle them.

I wish someone would redo that raggedy yellow arrow.
It's the ugliest thing in all of those beautiful screenshots!
-
The arrow is mostly fine, it merely needs some antialiasing. The problem is, AA breaks this game pretty bad.

That whole screen is jagged... mine doesn't look like that.

Just a matter of time until Square Enix contacts FeliX to join the team to make FFXV lol

That's real good work!

The texture compression is turned off, it's because of the low resolution of my screen

More great spell effects, you planning on doing them all?
If so cant wait for you to work your magic on the Quake/Demi lines of spells
Edit: For the Demi spells i think it would look awesome if they took some inspiration from the Gravitation skillchain from FFXI.

Whoa man VERY impressive, didnt expect that anything looking that good would be possible.
And so quickly too.
So how long before you have enough retextured spell effects to warrant a release?
-
Simply amazed how this changes the field and battle looks!
I have a quick question though apologize if its been ask on this but I have no issues with installing but I do have the Menu Overhaul Project installed but, Ive been trying to make both work at the same time but if i set the modpath to avalanche/DK it bypasses the battle and field but the menu works. If I leave it on just avalanche, field and battle works but the menu and the text are glitched. I'm new to all this but i usually try to figure it out on my own or reading in the topic.

Nope, if I want to do something particular I try to find a tutorial on a similar object/effect/material on inet, and then according the tutorial I use corresponding programs - Photoshop, GIMP, Blender, 3dsmax, AfterEffects, etc..

I am beginning to be concerned that these mods will draw negative attention from Square-Enix... They are so hq, if they want to make a new FF7 it's almost like it will be 3rd version.
haha +1000 modders are in dawn of a new ff7 since they unleashed those "dogs" it's hard to hold them caged anymore :D:D

Damn you Felix! I just stopped playing FF7. Now after you release these im gonna have to start again :)

We don't ever really stop playing FFVII, there are only extended breaks! :P

Got to love this enhancement!
but im suprized it doesnt have the first few battle-scenes from the start of the game.

They are done by TA, so there was no point in doing them

I might of missed that then. were they in png format?
-
No, they just aren't released.
-
Hey FeliX, hope the preperation for your exam is going well, just wondering I have been noticing parts of the world map incomplete, i know towns arent done yet but i mean just random parts.
You know about these or need people to help locate them?
Example:
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f119/willo182/ff7/worldmap01.jpg)
-
There are around 30 bugs like that in the world map, I think.
They were listed by other user a few pages back. Dunno if they were fixed or are in "to be done".
-
All the remaining textures lay inside a folder, so no problem with that. The only thing is that sometimes it's hard to find their location ingame
-
Ah yeah, I remember now, wasnt sure if i could remember someone saying that or not, and was too lazy to go looking through every post xD
Well as long as they are listed then :)
Thinking back didnt the person who listed them all give some of the file names?
-
No, they just aren't released.
Ahh I thought so even though those map areas are very short part of the game they are pretty important.
Thanks for the info
-
is it okay to delete the cache folder for World kos i cant really see any difference if there was a screenshot with TA graphical overhaul world and FL's world enhancement that would be great so i can see the differences
-
You can delete anything in the cache folder. The game will regenerate it. If you use the Menu Overhaul there will be 2 cache folders. One is in the DK (or whatever modpath you use) directory and one in the game directory. You should clear all files out of those folders for any Mod you install just in case they change files that are cached.
-
Hi :)
Im new to this Stuff here; have had installed the Remix Mod for FF7 and wanted to give a try to this one too; could you explane how to get it work?
I have copyed all files to the Mod folder; dont know if this is right?
H:\Installed Games\Final Fantasy VII\mods\battle
H:\Installed Games\Final Fantasy VII\mods\world
thanks in advance!
-
It isn't good. You need to put them in another subfolder, like avalanche and edit your cfg file.
-
it would be awesome if you could explain it a bit more precise :mrgreen:
-
H:\Installed Games\Final Fantasy VII\mods\avalanche\battle
H:\Installed Games\Final Fantasy VII\mods\avalanche\world
It needs to be like that.
-
its done; and what config do you mean? ff7_opengl.cfg?
what do I have to edit in there?
-
Your modpath. Make it avalanche
-
that's right?
# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = avalanche
-
Yup

Now materia has depth and small sparcles in the middle from every view ^^ (btw, it will be smaller in the release >_< )(http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6400/ff72011082705075531.png)

Hi guys !
Well, i have an issue for battle scenes. I have the latest Aali custom driver. What we have to do? I listened something to convert PNG to LGP.
I followed phillman tutorial but i don' t understand some steps notably with "the copy paste with transparency". Please, I need a perfect tutorial for this battle scenes.
World map scenes work perfectly due to the good tutorial of Felix:P
Thx

@sequence you don't have to convert them to LGP since you have the latest custom driver if you have a mods folder like (DK) or (avalanche) just place the battle folder there

Sequence, the Menu Overhaul Project is for the English game only. Read the first post of that thread.

Bonjour Sequence :)
You might have to hex-edit and do stuff to make it work with the French version. Seeing as much of the people I know have French version, I would maybe do it.
J'aimerais bien te parler par msn, [email protected]

Hy guys!!
FeliX Leonhart, thanks for your word it sounds really good!! I said "sounds" because I think i've missing something. I've installed Aali graphic stuff, Avalanche graphic overhaul, FFVII PRP, but I cannot find any "mods" directory opr FFVIIconfig.cfg. How can I have them?
Thanks
-
Shadk: both the mods directory and config file should be included with the driver download. At least, it was when I downloaded it. If you download from the following link it will have everything you need in it - http://backup.ninjaloot.se/share/ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zip
Now, I have a question of my own. When using this world map retexture it majorly screws up world map dialog boxes. It pretty much has all the text going vertical on the left side of the screen. Anyone heard of something like this / have a way to fix it?
Really great work by the way, game is absolutely beautiful with this.
-
It's not these textures that are causing the text to scroll on the side of the screen like that. I'm pretty sure it's DLPB's Menu Overhaul Project that is making that little snafu occur. He briefly mentions it on his thread. I also believe he said there will be a fix for it when he releases his final version of his project.
-
It's a bug in my app touphScript, not DLPB's fault, I've fixed it in next version ;)

I'm waiting for the final work to comment. I think the lightning is too bright tho.
-
I'll correct the lightning after all the details are done to match the old ingame models.
update:

Wow! Thats awesome model!
But really he suppose to be older. Now he looks the same age like Cloud
I think his chin suppose to be more 'square'-like. And mouth is more wide.

Thats mine opinion
-
KH Cid is a very different art style though, it's designed to be more cartoon like.
He does need some of stubble though, helps with making someone look a bit older..

Body yes, but his face looks almost identical to the original style, exept his cigar that was changed on toothpick.
-
I think he's great, still waiting for the final version !!
-
I used the concept art for the model=/

-
It's all about lightning and face texture if you ask me.
Put him a mean face and some wrinkles and he's top notch.
-
Maybe add some type of oil smudged on his face, assuming he was working on his airship/rocket. Just a thought. :)
-
Maybe when you Cid is done he will want to fly around in this highwind (WIP). :wink:

Very nice Costa! I think Cid might like that.

That is for the end (cause I messed up one thing :P )
-
Maybe putting facial hair will fix the age think? and a darker tone on his hair and skin as well. What do you think??
-
so awesome! Thanks Felix!
I wish FF8 can be beauiful as this mod. Huh ???
-
I hope this cids in the next bootleg, thatd be freaking sweetttttt! I want to learn how to make models like this but i just dont know where to even start. I feel like I could do well as im an art major
-
Never know guys reducing the lighting might make him look older, he probably looks young:
1. because of lack of facial hair
2. because in that light he looks like a cartoon.
Really is great to see someone doing a character other than Cloud, Aeris, Barret or Vincent.
-
I was thinking the same.
Make it darker and his skin will take less of a pink tinge, and hir hair will be more ruddy. Should be fine with the concept's stubble (:
(oh, any chance you could make the cigarette look more like the concept one? all crumpled and battered lookin?)
-
Redone ice2 cause the model was kinda shitty even with texture
(http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/1/800495752-orig.png)
-
Liking it, Glad to see you back by the way :D
-
I'll release the magic mod after I finish my first university (too busy now). It'll be in march)
-
yeah cid model :)
-
Holy shit.
Dat cid model, and Dat ICE
ESPECIALLY dat ice.
-
Oh, just saw an interesting concept how ice should look, will try to do something like that tomorrow=)

:-o 8-)
-
My opinion, the other Ice2 texture looks better.
-
Im digging how rich the color is in that new ice texture!
-
I'm with Obesebear on this one. The previous texture looks more like ice, whereas this is... pretty blue crystals (:
-
I also prefer the previous, the second texture seems like it would be better places in Kingdom Hearts than Final Fantasy.
-
actually I agree... The other is better having just seen it.
-
How about this then?
(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/5224/ff72012011218214666.png)
-
Still think original, simply because it looks sharp and smooth and the right effect. It isn't so much as realistic, but how you expect it in a game. :)
-
When the model is animated the old ice texture effect was noisy as hell (cause of 1px dots), so I had to change the effect.
Though I can return the edge lines from it:
(http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/8523/ff72012011218462737.png)
-
It looks good to me either way :P
-
Damn that 3rd one. It almost looks too good to be in Final Fantasy brilliant job.
Still prefer the original though It fits in more.
-
The texture is beautiful but it obscures the character significantly.
It's good to see who is frozen!
FF7 always has transparency issues.
-
Ouch, no surprise, some FeliX's works ! Magnificent textures as allways !
I'm not used to say the smallest critical concerning FeliX (I mean I never found something to criticize) but I have to agree with PitBrat.
Anyway, transparencies allways complicate things on FF7, so maybe it's not so easy to have a transparent enough ice without it being too much. So I have to add, I agree with PitBrat, but it's not really a big issue to me...
-
Personaly I don't like it either that the white blends together into a stronger one=(
iirc there were other blend modes, maybe they will help
-
You should check out Kela51 ice spell texture:
forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=10542.0
It still looks like original in terms of shape but the textures are more improved in my opinion
-
cid model is ready?^^
-
Quit asking every 5 minutes, you've already been warned for it.

This applies to Cid also cause his arms, t-shirt and shoes are not quite done yet

It looks like snow to me, not like ice=/

hey guy's just recently found out about the project think ur doing some excellent work im currently working on using the program's myself and a few design's so hopefully i can help/contribute in later day's good work guy's keep it up
-
Wow...I haven't been annoying the forums in a while...but this is more progress then I imagined! Great work!
-
I think the last ice texture is the best.
-
Just to clarify...you need the original "world_us" to make this mod work as intended?
-
With the original world_us it just blends better.
-
I'm a bigger fan of the newest Ice, just for the record.
-
chalk me up for the newest ice as well
-
A poll might be a good idea.
-
A poll might be a good idea.
Agreed. You know i've noticed, we have so few of those here, which is odd considering the spirit of the forum.
-
Honestly I still like the one with more color, but the opaque quality to the new one doesnt bother me either.
I believe a poll would be perfect for this situation. Haha or just release them all?
-
sorry quick question, I know this will work better with the original world_us file but just to clarify, is it compatible with team avalanche?
-
THX SO MUCH! For all the time and effort you put into creating dis mod, id like to just say its awesome and I give you mad props and respect for your hard work!
-
Of all the download links posted here, i'm confused as to which is which, what with the link corrections and all ???
But i really like what i'm seeing here....especially the train station......it goes perfectly with the new opening video i use....found it in qhimm.
-
any news for magic spell enhancement? great work felix ;)
-
i dont undersatnd how to create the folder of mods, i have to use aali's driver or others?
anyone can make a tutorial?
-
Once you get Aali's driver the mods folder should be there by itself...in the ff7.cfg that you get[open with note pad] go down to the Mods section....you should see something along the lines mode folder = <some name>[illustration only! Not in the actual cfg].......in my case it is mod folder= avalanche[or something like that. don remember accurately, but you'll know it when you see it] cuz i installed team avalanche patch first......if your using regular files and not lpgs, you put all of those files into that sub folder...if there is no sub folder within your mods folder...create one and write the name in the cfg file after the "=". i think there was a space after = but not sure.....anyways, the wrong one will give you an error so just do the opposite of that....for example in my mods folder i have Avalanche folder.....i dump all mods into that folder. in cfg file, mods section, mod folder[or whatever it says] = Avalanche. save the cfg file. It should work

archerxtreme, you see the word "Pirate" under his name? What about the pirate avatar, or the text "arrr matey!" underneath that?
He got those because he was using An illegally downloaded copy of the game (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=11757.msg162988#msg162988) (Ultima Edition, no less, so it probably won't work with most anything). As I'm sure you are aware:

Oh! I was wondering how he got those tags and was looking around for those options!
Illegal copy of a game...Ultima Edition, huh? well, even if he tried out what i suggested, it wouldn't work then.
-
Big Up 2 our friends Aali, Felix and DLPB! I'm waiting Magic enchancements:) Vous êtes géniaux!
-
Just installed these mods and they are amazing!!! Some of the best work I've seen to date!! From readin the entire thread I was wondering if the new spell effects where ever released or if the odd out of place texture here and there on the world map was ever fixed?
Best wishes
-
FeliX is busy with life, but I always remind him of this mod. He knows. :evil:
-
hahaha, good to hear. I really hope he picks it up again somewhere down the line, hes a very very talented man!

I made some textures using Felix Leonhart's world Enhancements textures as a base. Most of them are just slightly modify or renamed and reused.
There's a few textures I made from free textures online. Like I made the rocket texture for the rocket at rocket town from a pic of a real rocket and the condor texture at fort condor is from a pic of a real hawk.I used a free metal texture for the underwater reactor and fort condor reactor.
I would like to thank Felix Leonhart's for the original textures and give him full credit for all the textures I used and made that are just edits of his to fit where they needed to be. ( I've read that Felix has made most of the textures I did here but there not released so I made them myself) .
I know my works not as good as Felix's, these are mostly meant to be stand in textures until Felix Leonhart's release his. At first I was just going to do this as a personal mod but thought I should let other have it too.
I tried to keep everything looking as close to the original as I could ( thought the underwater textures are not tinted blue like the original games textures because I like the look of them without the tint the underwater textures are not the best) . This should replace almost every world and underwater texture.
Link in this post: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14239.0
I hope Felix dose not mind me not asking before releasing this "add-on" to his mod. If he wants me to remove it i will.
-
Well I suppose this is the only topic I can go for help on this one.
To make it quick I have this problem with some of the mountains http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/138/fllj.jpg/ and this problem with the Temple of the Ancients http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/199/dpz.JPG/
Only like 5% of the mountains in the whole world has that basic textures however, but I would like to fix it anyway. And as for the Temple I don't think FL-WME has any textures for the temple or anything that can help me with that problem since that's what I have already installed anyway.
Any way I can fix these two issues? :(
-

Try and use the complete world map texture pack on my release thread. It has the missing textures added to Felixs' plus the above 59 additional textures. The temple of the ancients being messed up is strange indeed. If not an original version of the pc game then it is a corrupted uv map or they changed the uv map on later releases. After adding in the new png's remember to delete the cache or nothing will change.
-
I have the same problem here with the temple of the ancients. It's weird... a long ago the texture was fine. Any help please? There's something I can do? I've tried everything with the texture and the cache. I have the old one version of the game.
By the way, Im looking for some textures to reemplace the old elm01_00.png and elm02_00.png and some roofs of the worldmap. What do you think? (I made some fixes)
