FF7 Tools / Official Proud Clod 1.0 Topic

« on: 2010-05-16 14:38:12 »

Since it seems you don't mind about my requests, NFITC1...  

I noticed that Proud Clod can copy/paste attack datas, and this is truly magnificent. So, actually, my problem doesn't have much to do with Proud Clod, but with Hojo since this feature would rock in it. Let's take the Grunt enemy, for example. You edit its stats, dropped items, gils, exp, ap, elemental affinities, etc - but then you need to type all this stuff again for all instances of this enemy, in scenes 8,63,64,65,78,79,80 and 81. A pain ? Why, yes indeed.

I'm aware that this has nothing to do with Proud Clod at all, since it's Hojo I'm talking about, but now that Proud Clod and Hojo can edit the same Scene.bin at the same time (which is awesome ), would it be possible to add a function into Proud Clod to copy all stats of an enemy (the ones Hojo can edit), and another one to paste them into all occurences of this enemy, throughout the many scenes ?

What I'm thinking about, in my Grunt example, would be a "copy stats" button, just above the enemy names in the AI tab, and a "paste stats" button next to it. So, once I'm satisfied with my new Grunt's stats in scene 78, I can go into Proud Clod, load the scene78, click on "Edit AI", select Grunt, click on "Copy stats", load scene 79, click on "Edit AI", select Grunt, click on "Paste stats" and voila ! Grunt in scene79 now has the same strength, drops, elemental affinities, etc - as Grunt in scene78.

Or another simpler option would be a button to copy the monster's stats into all occurences of this monster, in all scenes...

I'd ask Squall, but sadly, he's nowhere to be found. So, even though Proud Clod shouldn't have to deal with enemy stats, I guess it doesn't hurt to ask

Thanks for the advice, Covarr

And Kranmer, I just tried your trainer... ...and it's amazing ! This is exactly what I was looking for, and it works perfectly, even with FF7Music !  You rock, my friend !!
Wow, there are so many talented people in here, that my thank list, once my work is done, is going to be freakin' huge.

Thank you very much, your trainer really is awesome =D Starting tomorrow, I'll be able to get back to some heavy modding

FF7 Tools / Wall Market, FFVII KERNEL.BIN editor

« on: 2010-05-15 22:12:50 »

I have a request, if I may.

I'm working on a FFVII hack, for both PC and PSX. I created my Kernel.bin with WallMarket, with new descriptions and all, but it is a PC Kernel. Meaning that the descriptions are stored in Kernel2.bin. Hopefully, you still follow me

Now, I'd like to turn those into a PSX Kernel -- but alas ! As soon as I change the mode at the bottom of the window (from PC to PSX), all my text changes go away. It's pure logic really, since FFVII PSX has no Kernel2.bin. So, I tried to load my PC Kernel.bin with the PSX mode already enabled - but no : only Kernel.bin is read from, which means no text changes as well. Ultimately, all this just means that, for now, I'll have to type all my text AGAIN (which is a pain), to successfully turn this Kernel into a PSX-useable one.

My question is this : could you, NFITC1, with your awesome wisdom and all, implement a Kernel-text converter into WallMarket, so it can put the text stored in Kernel2.bin into a PSX Kernel.bin (when creating it or not) ?

If not (which I'd understand), I'll just get off my laziness and type my stuff again

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Emulating save-states in Final Fantasy VII PC - possible ?

« on: 2010-05-15 19:42:31 »

Maybe you've seen a couple vids of my own PSX FFVII hack, some kind of hard mode which I didn't complete. It's modded up to the third disk, and after that, I kind of lost interest. You can find a download link here. Anyways, I'm not here to talk about it.

The thing is, since I finally got my hand on the PC version, I'm working on improving my first hack (I had new ideas in the meantime - part of the reason why I scrapped my previous project so close to the end, too). And since the kernel is now so different, I have to once again modify all enemies.

Something I liked while modding the PSX version, was the fact that I could save-state before a random battle (thanks to a PSX emulator, of course), fight the battle, notice that I had to improve the enemy by - for example - giving him a bit more strength and HP, quit the game, do my modifications in Hojo / Proud Clod, boot ePSXe up, and load the state so I could immediately test my changes. Sadly, this is not possible with the PC version, since you can't save everywhere. I also thought about using Save Crystals, but those only work in the North Cave.

So, my question is this : is it possible to make Save Crystals useable everywhere ? Or even better : emulate the save-state function of console emulators ?... ...A feature that would be loved by modders, but also by players who want to be able to quit the game anytime, I'm sure. Insight about such a feature would be welcome

EDIT : I found an utility called FF7w, but it doesn't seem to work well with the opengl driver

Troubleshooting / Re: Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8

« on: 2010-05-14 19:52:24 »

If you use unlgp/lgp command by aali to create the battle.lgp it will probably not crash the game anymore.

WOW !! That was it !   Thank you very much, Refoopseman, you rock !
Any idea why my very own custom Kernel.bin doesn't work, though ?

EDIT :

I ran a couple tests, and I noticed that the problem comes from Kernel2.bin, not Kernel.bin.

EDIT 2 :

Gah, I figured it out, never mind. Silly me, I didn't realize Kernel2.bin was limited in size... ...I just had to delete some useless descriptions, and here it is, FFVII in its full glory !

A version that accepts modded files would also be great. Because, with v7.7b, every time I want to use a different Kernel.bin or a different Battle.lgp (to only name a few), the game crashes on start-up.

anyone feel like uploading a zipped version of their full saves by chance? Got an error with the current version I think it has to do with the saves.

Just copy your first save 9 times, and rename them.

Troubleshooting / Re: Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8

« on: 2010-05-10 22:00:03 »

I figured my problem out, at the very least : Aali's 0.7.7b custom driver doesn't like changes to the char.lgp and battle.lgp files. Actually, since the 0.7.7b version looks for the textures in their own folder (conveniently named Textures, in the main directory), bad stuff happen if they're not in there.

Since I managed to find a Texture folder full of .png files, the game works fine. No missing textures and such. But if you use, for example, a custom Field Cloud model (such as kula_wende's AC Cloud), then the game won't like the fact that Cloud's blinking animation has disappeared (not a big deal though - you only get a notification at the bottom of the screen, and you can disable it in the config). But worst : if you add a battle custom character model, then the battles won't load at all...

I *think* the driver looks for Cloud's blinking animation, but does the filename AAAF2.RSD ring a bell to anyone ? AAAF.RSD exists, in the original char.lgp, but AAAF2.RSD sure doesn't. Why would the Custom driver look for files that don't originally exist ?...

I'd use an earlier version of the driver, but I think I'll keep it at that (I'm now afraid to manipulate such sensitive components ). Besides, the improved size of the battle screens (as well as the transparent menus) rock.

If you have the same problem even after downgrading, then that means that it has nothing to do with the save folder... and probably nothing to do with the Custom driver for that matter. One of your game files might be corrupt.

Yeah, I think so too. After all, the problem occured when I replaced the originals battle.LGP, char.LGP, flevel.LGP, menu.LGP, chocobo.LGP and worldus.LGP... ...But since the problem still exists after reverting all those files to the old ones, I'm at a loss...

Also, I'd kick myself if I didn't remind you that in order to downgrade to 0.7.3b properly, you should probably replace the FF7Config.exe from the later version with the one from the 1.02 official patch (did you remember to install that, btw?), since that feature wasn't implemented yet as of that version, and also run FF7OpenGL.reg with user account control turned off.

Yeah, I noticed that. I replaced the FF7Config file, but the problem is still there. And since I'm running Windows XP SP2 as an administrator, the user account control is of no importance.

Anyways, it's well past midnight in my part of the world, and I think that I'll just try to re-download your FF7Remix Patcher tomorrow, and reinstall the game from scratch in the evening. Last time the Remix Patcher did wonders... ...Have a good night, and thank you for trying to help I can see you're not a troll at all, so I guess you were just tired of replying to noobs earlier and just needed to take a break.

I myself installed kula_wende's awesome FF7 Advent Children Complete Custom Cloud, so I can help with that. The step must also be the same for the Barret model. I don't know about the blue limit mod (I prefer red ).

1) Download AC_Cloud.rar (kula_wende gave the link)
2) Download LGP Tools (preferably v1.60).
3) Run LGP Tools, and open your file named Battle.lgp (in your Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\battle folder)
4) Uncompress AC_Cloud.rar, and go into the Battle directory. Select all files and drag them (=make them slide) into the LGP Tools window. Choose "yes" to all.
5) Open the "Final Battle" directory, inside your AC_Cloud directory, and once again select all files and drag them into the LGP Tools window.
6) After LGP Tools is done working, choose Open, and open the "char.lgp" archive, in the Field folder.
7) Now it depends upon what you want... ...If you like chibi (think "lego") models out of battle, drag the files inside "Field chibi" inside LGP Tools - but if you prefer normal-sized characters, drag the files that are in the "high res field" folder.

...And you're done. Have fun

Oh look ! Another annoying noob asking for help !  
I know what you're thinking. "Hey, noob, noticed that it's page 85 ? I'm sure you'll find how to fix it in there". But believe it or not : I looked, tried many things, but the game still crashes after the Eidos screen, with the legendary "Oops, something very bad happened".

Okay, here is the whole story : I had to re-install FFVII completely, and proceeded to patch it with many mods. But I made sure to do it step by step, by always creating a back up of the previous file(s), just in case.

Anyways, after installing a couple patches with Yamp as well as the NPC Reconstruction mod, the crash appeared. Please take note that FFVII worked perfectly with Aali's ff7_opengl-0.7.5b (yeah, I'm using 7.5b) before that.

So, noticing this, I decided to "erase" those patches by restoring the original FF7.exe as well as the many files the NPC Reconstruction patch modified. But still the same crash.

Then, I tried to launch the game without the Custom Driver, in FF7Config. No crash. I took a look at the log, and noticed that the game was looking for all save-files, from save00.ff7 to save09.ff7 in the save directory. So, I duplicated my first save until all those files were created... ...to no avail.

Now I'm lost.

EDIT :

Yeah, I edit my message before even posting it. Anyways, I tried with FF7_opengl-0.7.7b, and the game works. Meaning I get past the Eidos screen and can load a game, but the game crashes at the start of a battle (with the same "oops, something very bad happened" message). Also, I have a lot of yellow and red notifications while in the field, at the bottom of the screen, saying that the game couldn't find PNG and RSD files. Here is a screenshot, to show you what I mean.

If no one can help me, I think I'll just reinstall the game without using Yamp. Because, if I had to issue a guess, I'd say that the Custom Driver doesn't like ff7.exe to be modified (because yes, with Software Renderer, the game works fine - even though it's ugly).

Also, below is the beginning of my ff7_opengl.cfg file. Something tells me I should write a path to this mod directory, but I don't know what to type. Shouldn't the game try to load the textures and all from the data directory without asking for a path ?...

Code: [Select]

# ff7_opengl config file

# 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 = none
EDIT 2 :

I completely reinstalled the game, and I experienced the original crash again (the one that occur trying to display the "New Game / Continue" screen). This time, I'm SURE it has to do with the NPC Recontruction patch, somehow (since I didn't use YAMP this time)... ...Problem is, once again, replacing modded files with originals don't solve the problem. It's like my game is now irrevocably f***** up with the Custom Driver  

Anybody has an idea ?

FF7 Tools / Welder: A little AI Template Project

« on: 2010-05-04 19:11:14 »

Coming from someone without programming notions, this is indeed a great project. To be quite honest, I'm still struggling to understand all those push, stack and pop talk

In the past, I used FF3usME quite a lot (multi-editor for FFVI), and I'd love that one day, editing AI for FFVII would be as simple. Maybe these templates and plugins could be implemented to Proud Clod, somehow ? Like, by clicking on boxes, in the AI editor, which would lead to a list of the monster's abilities... ...Selecting one would add the AI script so the enemy casts the selected spell. Then, you click the next box to choose the chance for it to cast it, and the conditions. Another box would be to decide the target, etc...

Actually, that sounds like too much work for NFITC1
Never mind about this message

If you still want to use the model but improve your game speed, you might want to use Borde's Image2Tex program... open up all the texture files Diamond Weapon uses... and reduce all of them by 50% or more.   You'll lose quality obviously, but since it's a world map model, the difference probably won't be noticeable.

Hey, thank you very much for the info, Obesebear ! I'll try that

I don't understand how he's being a douche when the solution you used was painfully obvious.

It's not obvious for everyone. And you know what ? When I read questions I find "incredibly stupid" because I'm so clever, I don't reply at all.

OK, I temporarily replaced the file world_us.lgp (in Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\wm) with the one existing in the discs, and now it works fine. So yeah, I figured it out myself - a good thing since someone who obviously knew the answer likes to be a complete douche.

At least I gave the solution for people who might have the same problem. Just replace the old file with the remix file, once you're done with Diamond Weapon.

Is there a way to remove Grimmy's Diamond Weapon retextured ?

The reason is, as soon as I get out of the Forgotten City, in the 2nd disc, the whole game runs awfuly slow... I mean, 1 frame every 5 seconds or so. Totally unplayable. And the FF7.exe processus takes a lot more memory at that time (about 350 MB). I wonder what the real cause is (my hardware is more than enough capable to run the game with pelnty of mods), but since it looks like no one knows what it is, I'd like to remove it right now (a guy had the same problem as me, in Grimmy's thread, but the solutions brought up didn't solve anything).

I'd ask in Grimmy's thread, but since no one posted in it since January, I don't want to revive it (rules and stuff). Thanks in advance.

so I just need to know which file holds the data for the very first event (with the Potion-holding corpses)

Look MD1STIN.DAT.

That's weird, I thought I already tested this one, but I just tested it again, and it works !
Thank you very much, Myst6re. Maybe it didn't work before because I only used the Hack7 function "Save into the CD Image", whereas this time I saved the file normally before saving it into the iso... Anyways, back to testing stuff

EDIT :

By the way, did anyone compile a list somewhere of the "right" field files to edit (or a list of the useless files, for that matter) ?... ...'Cause it sure is a pain to find them by trial and error.

I'd like some NPC to sometimes reward you with an item (think FFX, a townperson would tell you "beware of monsters that can petrify you ! Here, use this" *Got Soft x 3*) - and I would also like to add a boss battle as you're about to grab a materia - stuff like that, but there are two problems : I'm modding the PSX version, and I have no clue how to do this (something tells me it's possible, though).

METEOR doesn't work with the PSX version but Hack7 does. And Hack7 also allows one to edit events. The thing is, there are a lot of .DAT files, and some of them seem to be duplicates of others. Luckily, I found this list on this very board :

...And since I want to learn by myself without bothering you, I tried to find the right file that points to the very first event in the game (when Cloud jumps off the train, and Barret says "Come on, newcomer") to do some testing. The problem is, I replaced Barret's dialog with gibberish in files named MD1_1.dat, MD1_2.dat, MD1STIN.dat, NMKIN_1.dat, NMKIN_2.dat, and NRTHMK.dat - but his original line was un-altered after reinjecting those modified files into the iso. What gives ?... ...Did I forget a file ?... ...Or do I have to change all those files with the exact same values, so the game takes my changes into account ? I have no idea how the Field files work (I'm no good with the technical stuff, I only know how to use utilities such as Hojo, WallMarket & ProudClod), so I originally thought all those duplicates are worthless and one only needs to edit a single file for each event, but I'm not sure anymore.

Besides, in all those files, in the "event" tab, I can't find the STITM opcode. According tothe list of opcodes in the wiki, this particular opcode is the only one that can add items to the inventory, so I thought that the event that allows you to get two potions from the first guard would hold a STITM... ...Isn't that right ?... ...I planned to use this event to my advantage so I can learn how the event script works, but if I can't find it... 

I really don't want to bother you ; I know what it must be, to try and teach such complicate stuff to a newbie - so I just need to know which file holds the data for the very first event (with the Potion-holding corpses), and I'll try to figure out the rest by myself (even though I'd kill for a youtube video of some sorts showing how to alter those field files /  add bosses ).

Thanks a lot in advance to the kind soul willing to reply

OK, thank you : it works now, but there's a new problem : I tested it in a battle formation of two Devil Rides, and once I MP-defeated one, the other took his turn (by attacking or whatever) and the battle ended as if I also defeated the second Devil Ride (meaning, this second one didn't use the death animation, which is normal since he wasn't MP damaged - but then why did its HP go to 0 ? I never attacked it).

Man, I would never have guessed implementing this function would be so troublesome
