FF7 Tools / Re: [FF7PC] Mod manager - 7thHeaven (v1.50)

« on: 2016-01-03 21:02:26 »

This is set up when 7H is run for the first time, so not something you can change. It's before any catalog is downloaded at all. I can change this for the next version, I guess.

I suggestion creating a config folder in the application path and store all information there. I would not go about global paths like appadata roaming and so on.

Please add a donate link function for the mod authors. I would also like to see a donate button for the tool author. 

I can add that too, for the next set up.

yep, i know what you mean. i will think of something. havent thought about displaying the information in general. i liked the idea of having all info in one screen,in one grid. but i can change that if it improves handling and reduces possible errors.

for the configuration part: on activating the mod, there will be displayed a configuration-window where the user is forced to config it for the first time and after the configuration is applied, the mod is active. if there are mods which must not be configured, this information must be a flag which i can read (for skipping the config-window e.g.)

i will change the UI in the next few days and make a new suggestion.

Catalogs / Re: [FF7] Update Reports and Mod Requests

« on: 2016-01-01 08:44:36 »

This will now be the place for me to post updates and for anyone to make a mod request they'd like to see for future updates.

I have updated the OP with everything I'm currently finished or working to finish. I so much wanted to release Catalog 2.0 for Christmas, but it was too difficult around such a busy time with the holidays. I am doing my best now to release in the next 24 hours for a New Years gift. I'm so close, so hang in there and hopefully we can all enjoy a bug free or near bug free experience with the update

That is alright. There is other stuff to do (  / play ) and real life is more important than this.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Easy installing mods to FFVII with Bootleg

As I said before, everyone stop using this thread and go there.

I can only quote him with a link to the latest topic: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15520.0

Bootleg is a not supported tool anymore. 7th heaven is the way.

Sure, I would be interested to see what other designs someone could make. Design is not my strong point so I don't think the current layout is great, it is just what I came up with while writing the code

I created a simple UI with not much functionality (but you can click on everything, its just a suggestion at all). Just take a look, share your ideas.
I made a minimalist approach and similar like the existing 7th heaven client. I'd keep it simple and clean.

https://mega.nz/#!dkEyQbrJ!mE8-LTrV8wCxYlo2lBvAuNnbdEno3evrNh560esYENs -> password is tifa.

You need to have .Net 4.6 btw.

That is just the ordinary case. 7th heaven is working and that is the most important part. I take a look and come back to you.

Btw, you are using Windows forms, right? I am using wpf and mvvm-pattern. Hope it doesnt conflict. Wont use any source files from yours, since i would need to start from scratch anyway (when it comes to UI).

It is still not clear to me what their modmanager does. Is it a download tool that downloads mods and installs them? If yes, I'm not sure how this would work with 7H - because 7H needs to do things like manage the mod configuration as well.

If they have an API to allow searching and downloading mods, I could integrate that. But I haven't seen a thing like that.


If somebody wants to make a new design, I can look at it and see if it can be made, certainly.

Are you sure you have downloaded and unzipped all the files properly? It looks like a file is missing or not the right version?

Since Kaldara asked me, i will reply to this thread as well.

Getting things straight: i did abandon bootleg not because of the concerns of Kaldarasha, but instead of acknowledging 7th heaven as the future mod managing tool and it was going well, so why should i interfere. both approaches (7th and bootleg) had the right to exist, but 7th made its way to the top, so ...

I responded to Kaldarasha that i would be willing to help, if you ( the community ) want(s) my help and want a redesign that suits 7th heaven. I dont have my tools from work, but i can provide with basic free frameworks a decent ui overhaul.

The choice is up to you.

A suggestion: create a stickied closed topic for the releases,changelogs and tutorials (one thread for all named subjects) and a q/a thread. This great topic gets too much flooded with questions.

I had this issue when i upgraded to 8.1. Believe it or not setting the desktop icon scaling to smallest fixed it. Why? I have no idea but I know I wasn't the only one it worked for.

unfortunately, it didnt work for me. besides, it was already set to smallest.

--> Found the solution: Turn off high dpi scaling.

Hey everyone,

preparing my new Win10 machine for 7th Heaven and further updates.
I encountered a problem which i didnt have on my Win7 machine, so i wonder if anyone can give me a clue.

When i am starting the game with 7th Heaven, the resolution is on mismatch. I have uploaded an image to show you what i mean.






Any ideas so far?

Hm, i had no issues at all with SE downloadable version (bought version from the shop) on windows 10. I did this....

Started the GameConverter in admin mode. Set the correct game path (even when he does find it, just set it manually) and thats it.

Play XIII-2... I also hated the first one. It was a game without character. But I like chono-travel related stories so I played the 2nd one to the max!

I also didn't like the battle mechanics, the game play. Not my style.
