I'm not 100% sure why you were banned, if that is all you were doing then just a warning should have sufficed. You should be able to rejoin by clicking the home page link.

I think you've posted in the wrong message Anarchy. This is a post about FF7 mods and MCindus hasn't been here.

As for Alice, you're best bet is to use 7th Heaven with the combination of both default subscription, Mods of the Round subscription, and the extra IRO's and other mods that aren't in those subscriptions that you already have listed. If you found a place that has given you better information, good, I hope you found what you need. However you could have made a post in your thread asked to either move your original thread to this area, or edited your original post with the extra information you have gathered instead of making a whole new thread about it. Either way, I'm glad your questions were answered even if it wasn't from us, and I hope everything works out.

7th Heaven / Re: Sigh. Another crash on Startup issue. (Oops! Something very bad happened)

« on: 2019-06-13 20:42:21 »

If it crashes before the game starts try:

• Error when launching game

         Right click your 7th Heaven.exe and select properties, compatibility tab and set it to run as admin.
         Go to the same tab but for FF7.exe and tick the box that say "Run in 640x480"(Do the same for all other exe's).
         This will not actually affect your gameplay as 7th Heaven takes over it anyway.

This should solve or explain most of the problems listed here. http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=18921.0
As for Dynamic weapons, I'm pretty sure that uses a model of it's own so trying to use another model would cause errors. 7H seems to have something that'll auto detect certain conflictions and fix them by disabling one of the conflicting mods.

I honestly have no clue. You're not the only one having the issue, I've had two other people test it and it's giving them the same error. Strange thing is that it's downloading perfectly fine for me.  Only thing I can suggest is give it a few days, I'm hoping this is something on the download websites end. Couple of things you can do is download it from Sega's official thread here: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14938.0;topicseen or use the link in the description of New Threat in 7th heaven, download the IRO from there, and use 7th Heaven to import it.

Latest Update: May 30, 2019

Big List of Bugs

This list is going to be updated when new bugs and solutions are found.
It is currently mostly for Final Fantasy VII so far. It might be branched out to other games eventually, but for now we'll stick with just 7.
If you know of any existing bugs that aren't listed here, please post them below along with a solution should you know it.
If someone else knows a solution, quote the issue you are responding to when you post it.

Any mod makers that wish to contribute to this, please contact me or post down below. I'll be adding bugs for more specific mods as they pop up

Game Converter

• Stuck on Patching

         Use FF7 Remove Registry Keys: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14421.0

• Cannot find the game

         When typing the game location inside the converter, find your FF7.exe, right click and choose properties.
         Copy the location it shows and paste it inside the converter. Make sure you have a " on BOTH sides.
         Example - ("C:/Games/Final Fantasy VII")

7th Heaven

The current version of 7th Heaven is 1.56

• Please check the F.A.Q. for any issue not stated here

         http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16538.0

• Game closes once I hear the starting beep

         This could be due to sound. If you ever change your sound device, ie from Speakers to headset.
         You will need to run the converter again, when the FF7 options window pops up, click the sound tab and Test.
         If the sound comes through the device you wish to use then you're good.

• When I run the game with mods on, it looks like Vanilla

         Open your settings inside 7th Heaven and manually use the browse function to set the 4 locations.
         Occasionally the auto settings may mess these up.

• Text looks all squashed

         This could be 1 of 2 things. First of all you could be using the wrong exe (If you are using “Because” or “Menu Overhaul”)
         If you have this mod active then you must be using the “ff7_bc.exe” in your 7th Heaven settings.
         Second your modpath may be wrong. Go to your FF7 root folder, look for a file named “ff7opengl.cfg” right click and open with notepad.
         Look for a line close to the top that says “Modpath =” and be sure it says “Modpath = Textures”.

• Crash when downloading a mod

         This is usually just a 1st time crash thing. Restart 7th Heaven and try again.
         Type %appdata% into your search bar and hit enter, then delete the 7th Heaven folder if present.
         If all else fails, delete your 7th Heaven installation, and reinstall.

• No mods in the Catalog tab

         When inside your 7th Heaven settings you will see a box named “Subscriptions”.
         Paste these links into that box. 1 on each line, not together
         Default Subscription: iros://Url/http$pastebin.com/raw.php?i=dDBkYkDu
         Mods of the Round Subscription: iros://Url/http$pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QBGsgGK6
         Now restart 7th Heaven and open your Catalogue tab, click Search and it should now be filled with mods.

• Error when launching game

         Right click your 7th Heaven.exe and select properties, compatibility tab and set it to run as admin.
         Go to the same tab but for FF7.exe and tick the box that say "Run in 640x480"(Do the same for all other exe's).
         This will not actually affect your gameplay as 7th Heaven takes over it anyway.
         https://imgur.com/yI30qaq
         https://imgur.com/qkW7VfI

• Can only see part of the game

         This is due to DPI scaling. Find the exe you are using eg - ff7.exe, ff7_bc.exe.
         Right click this and go to the “Compatibility” tab.
         Click on “Change High DPI Settings” and tick “Override high DPI scaling behaviour”, then in the dropdown choose “Application”.

• Long loading times/crashes mid game

         This can be a few things: amount of mods, size of mods, complexity of mods, but the most likely is in some of the
         1.56 version of 7th Heaven there’s a bug that duplicates the contents of the Extra Folders section of the
         General Settings. Deleting the duplicates will help with this issue.

• Can't update to 1.57

         There is no 1.57 update yet. If it keeps showing, in General Settings, uncheck “Check for 7th Heaven Updates Automatically” to make it stop.
         Keep an eye on the thread to keep up with updates. http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=17620.0

• Post Processing initialization failed, check APP.LOG for more information error

         If you're running the game on Intel HD Graphics, it doesn't support the Post processing effect that comes with the shader.
         You either need to assign the game to a dedicated GPU (if you have one) or go into Workshop -> OpenGL -> Graphics and
         uncheck the box for Post processing.

New Threat

• Most Issues

         Make sure you are on the latest version, you can check here: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14938.0

• Cloud face texture issue

         This is caused by a loose file in the Mini-Games Collection IRO in the 7th Heaven default catalog. Disable the mod to fix.

Remako

• Most Issues

         Make sure you've followed the instructions in this installation guide: https://captrobau.blogspot.com/p/install-guide-ff7-mod-manager.html

7th Heaven / Re: question regarding the load order of the remako mod

« on: 2019-03-29 15:36:07 »

Remako is a Field Textures mod, so it would go in the same place as Field Textures - Omzy/satsuki/yarLson. That list is mainly telling you the general order of how things should be in 7th it doesn't tell you where every single mod should go because that would be a much longer thing. You just have to figure out what kind of mod it is, then plug it into the correct section of the list.

7th Heaven / Re: 7th Heaven Updates (Coming With Catalog 3.0)

« on: 2019-03-10 18:09:21 »

Yeah, I noticed this on my initial setup of 7th Heaven (which was with version 1.56). By default it had all those extra slashes (some slashes were even backwards "/" and on one of the lines it had it listed something like "Final\/Fantasy\VII"). I know I did not enter those, because it was the very first time I went into the config. Before doing anything else I made sure to set it up properly and it has worked fine.

Recently though, I've been having one issue where the "direct" and "music" folders in "Extra Folders" keep getting duplicated every time I launch the game with the 7th Heaven launcher. It got to a point where my game was lagging very badly, and I went to check the config and noticed 100+ instances of these folders listed. After deleting them to just the 2, the game was smooth as could be, but launching the game again added 2 more instances of those folders. Does anyone have any idea why it would keep making those folders each time I launch the game?

Yeah both of those issues are bugs with 1.56 unfortunately, and there isn't currently a fix for it. It's best to manually put in your source information and delete those extra instances of "direct" and "music" for now.

Also, is there a way to add an image to a post or does it have to be an online image only? Was going to post an image of my General Settings in 7th Heaven to show more clearly what I mean about the "direct" and "music" folders.

All images have to have an online source like from Imgur or Discord.

Catalogs / Re: [FF7] Strife's Mods of the Round - 7th Heaven Supplementary Catalog

« on: 2019-02-17 00:49:19 »

Great news!

But for the love of me I can't get it to work! Here it is:

Just to say I am getting the same issue as Khrone, seems like it is a MS XML issue. I have tried deleting the files from the 7th Heaven workshop folder that has the settings, Library and catalogue XML files but still getting a error message in junction with the new pastebin link.

Eeeeyuuup. That was my fault. In the process of trying to make it look fancy, and a bit more organized,  I tried adding [MotR] into the version section and just assuming that it would work didn't test it. Apparently the version section doesn't allow for anything but numbers. It should work fine now! My fault for not testing after every little change I make.

So just to get something clear, this is not an official update, but a stop gap of sorts before the official release of the new version. Also is there a way I can donate for all the hard work effort gone into this, thanks. 

Yeah this isn't an official update, I'll add Unofficial to the title just to make sure people know that.
I guess I can add a donate section...never really thought it warranted one haha.

Catalogs / [FF7] Strife's Mods of the Round - 7th Heaven Supplementary Catalog

« on: 2019-02-16 17:10:34 »

Latest Update: April 1, 2020

Mods of the Round

Always remember to hit Auto-Sort unless otherwise specified!

I don't care, where's the catalog? Wow rude, you get this color because of your rudeness : iros://Subscribe/Url/http$pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QBGsgGK6

What is it, and what do I do?

As stated above, this is a supplemental catalog to 7th Heaven's 3.0 Catalog. This has a few mods that are not part of the Qhimm Catalog due to request, but wanted to keep it in this catalog. A few of the mods contained here also contain beta updates. They will be marked to let you know.

What mods are included?

Currently there aren't a lot. I haven't done all of them, but since this is only supposed to go alongside the existing catalog it shouldn't need all of them. I've only put mods in from creators that have given me permission. More will be added once I get permission to add them to the list.

• cmh175's Avatars and HQ FMV Pack
• Tsunamods Team - Avalanche Arisen 1k Battle Scenes by Uprisen
• Tsunamods Team - ED Music FF7 Soundtrack Beta by Enrico Deiana and unab0mb
• Tsunamods Team - Arranged Soundtrack by Tsunamix and Dracula9AntiChapel
• The Barret Mod
• Enhanced Stock UI Beta Test Version
• ESUI Controller Addon
• Remake ESUI Theme
• Speedhack by Satsuki Yatoshi
• Borderless Windowed FF7
• Bonez' SFX Mod
• Bonez' Modern Spell Names
• [4x Upscale] - Project Edge Fields

I get an error when downloading!

Don't worry! Normally nothing is broken. 90% of the time it's because the mods that are uploaded to either MEGA or Google Drive so they have a limited number of downloads from one source. That one source in this instance is 7th heaven. Once that Quota is reached, it won't allow anymore downloads for the day from that source. If you wait a day or two it will reset and you can download it again. Be patient though, there are many people using this catalog, so it might fill up again!

To the Mod Artists

If you have an IRO for your mod that is not on the Qhiumm catalog or a new one that you would like to add to my catalog please DM me either here or on Discord.

Congratulations!

You made it to the end and deserve your reward. You get this cool color and the catalog link to paste into your subscriptions! Just remember, LOAD ORDER MATTERS iros://Url/http$pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QBGsgGK6

You don't -have- to. There are other options, like you can change the name of your C drive or a USB flash drive to FF7DISC1 (if you do the flash drive you have to have it plugged in when you run the game) but you have to do one of the three options. I just changed my C drive's name cause that seemed easiest.

I haven't made a mod for anything, but I agree with a lot of what has been said here. If you want to make something, anything, not just a mod, then you should do it for yourself and if people don't like or appreciate it oh well. It wasn't made for them, you made it and put your passion into it and nothing should make you feel bad about that. I've checked out your mod and while I haven't tried it, I do enjoy seeing what you have done cause in all honesty it's really impressive. You shouldn't feel unappreciated because some people don't like your style or the mod. You put a lot of effort into your work and it shows. That goes for everyone else here. All the work I see here is just fantastic and no matter how big or small a project is, the work and dedication to even try to do this is fantastic and I among with a lot of others appreciate what you all have done. You shouldn't shame all for the words of a few. You should be proud and accomplished for what you've done. Without your hard work your mod wouldn't exist and even if it's only a few people who enjoy what you've created then that's people you've made happy and that's nothing to scoff at. Keep up the great work Incinerator, and everyone else. We really appreciate everything that you do and hope you continue to bring a bit of happiness to our lives.

« on: 2018-06-27 17:55:11 »

Dang it I was gonna make a super basic version but thought against it haha. I don't know how to make them either I just used textool to convert it.

Edit:

So rereading what you've said I'm not 100% sure what's needed. I used the tex you sent to make the edit, and saw you said that colors were needed, yet the file looks like this:

Spoiler: show

I dunno if textool is making the png's monochromatic or if they are supposed to be that way, but if nothing changed, then I'll just replace △ ○ □ ✕ with already existing A B X Y in the fonts (would prefer to have the other .tex files with the rest of the upper case alphabet to make the font match perfectly with the rest.) I could change their color to be the matching button color as well just to make them stand out a bit if preferred.
