Hey guys, I just wanna say how cool this patch is. However, there are some bugs I see after applying the patch:

1) I think I saw in the previous posts, so yeah, this is one of the battle icons problem : I think there was supposed to be the silence icon there ^_^

2) This is when I cast Shadow Flare. But I think you're trying to address that problem right?

3) I can't see the slots in the battle arena. Is this gonna affect Tifa's and Cait Sith's limit breaks too? This would be a problem...

4) The meteor looks weird... ^_^;;;

Anyway, take your time and keep up the great job!

Hmm..........seems like I included the wrong txt file.
Does anyone have the old copy of the version history?

EmperorSteele · « **Reply #252 on:** 2005-08-16 19:23:40 »

Mm, how old? I have the last 2 releases =)

@ The SaiNt
What kind of interpolations engine where you considering? 2xSaI seems to be a good option, since it's open source and very common in the console emulation scene, so I'm sure quite a few people could lend you a hand.

The SaiNt · « **Reply #255 on:** 2005-08-17 01:26:33 »

EmperorSteele, never mind, I found the files I needed.

Cyrus XIII, most likely something like S-Spline or maybe just simple bilinear interpolation, depends on the time I have. SaI and Eagle etc are only good algorithms for sprites with contrasting colours, not good for general purpose interpolations. Besides, it's not coming anytime soon till I iron out all other bugs first.

And yeah, I already know about the upper left hand corner glitch. It affects nearly all spells / summons. I have yet to find time to fix it.

But im poor and don't have a super computer for this patch ;(

Auron · « **Reply #258 on:** 2005-08-21 15:24:42 »

Working well on my 9800 Pro at 1280 with 8AA and 16AF enabled

The silence, sleep etc icons are annoying though :/

Kinseek · « **Reply #259 on:** 2005-08-22 10:17:03 »

IS someone else getting random crashes now and then? I`m using a 6800Go ultra, and sometimes the game will crash. I think it usually happens only when entering a battle, probably when calling up the swirl effect. I don`t get any particularily usefull error message from windows. Does anyone know what might be causing it?

Switch on Windows 95/98 Compatibility Mode for the ff7 executable.

Made another update.
Fort Condor minigame is fixed now.
Slots for Battle Square, Tifa & Cait Sith are also fixed.

X-Hunter · « **Reply #261 on:** 2005-08-25 16:46:32 »

Wow! Nice!
I'll try as soon I get in home.

By the way Saint, did you include the right TEX file to silence\sleep? And do you think the same can be done to ff8.exe too (resolution patch)? :wicked:
Just wondering....

Thx a lot!

I would really like to use this patch but I've encountered something stopping me from doing so.

I actually own a copy of FFVII PC, but I've lost one of the discs and my install disc is scratched to hell, so instead of going out and buying another copy I've started using the Ultima edition. Doing so has made the crc32 check fail and because of that I can't use it.

Any solution?

AFAIK, the patch only checks the crc on the ff7.exe itself, and not any related files. So all you got to do is get the ff7 1.2 update from anywhere, since it has the ff7.exe you need.

Borman · « **Reply #264 on:** 2005-08-25 21:30:34 »

Buy a new copy of the game, or hack out the cd protection yourself i would assume

Could you probably keep the 1st post in this thread updated with the current version number? Personally, I don't mind following the discussion, since it provides me with details, but being able to get the project's status with a quick look would be nice.

CkRtech · « **Reply #266 on:** 2005-08-25 23:21:53 »

AWWWW MAN!

I just got Omnislash last night & did Fort Condor a few days ago. Hahaha.

Still need W-Materia though -

Thanks for all the updates.

The thing is I believe the bug was introduced by me at some point, and I've forgotten when I introduced it, so it's been rather difficult for me to try and fix it. I've been trying to fix this bug but I keep getting sidetracked to fixing something else instead

And about ff8, that's unlikely to happen.

Hey, guys.. you know that WE DON'T SUPPORT PIRATED COPIES OF THE GAME sticky up on top? Yeah. Don't go giving him advice. 99/100 times, the ""person who lost thier cds" actually just never owned them.

Anyways saint, good jerb =)

Lenas · « **Reply #269 on:** 2005-08-26 18:43:22 »

Man you folks aren't very trusting =x

*edit* But nevermind, now I can't play with 1.02 because it's got a CD check. Oh well.

Aaron · « **Reply #270 on:** 2005-08-26 19:01:37 »

I know it may seem mean, but we're forced to be suspicious of people who say they "have a copy of the game" but have to use the Ultima edition anyway... You can probably understand that? What's to keep anyone from saying "Ah I lost my copy!"?

Anyway, I certainly see that you have a real copy, but we still only support the real copy â€” As sometimes, there are problems with the game because it is not the real thing.

Borman · « **Reply #271 on:** 2005-08-26 23:24:58 »

Yea, ive got to get my official CDs from my friend heh. I know that using the Ultima Edition is why the mods usually dont work, and I live with it. Ive still got the box, but bleh, who cares heh, FF7 is FF7 to me, as long as I can play what I payed for

Reunion · « **Reply #272 on:** 2005-08-27 02:16:01 »

Hey I just noticed this while playing through...
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/FFVIIIReunion/bba02e5a.jpg

just wondering if it is easily fixable...

EmperorSteele · « **Reply #273 on:** 2005-08-27 05:12:44 »

No, see, he's wondering why the screen is white. It matches quite perfectly =P

That's the part where the screne turns green, just before "Tifa" appears and tells barret/nanaki to go find Cloud, right?

=/

And yeah, i didn't mean to sound too mean about the ultima edition thing.. but Aaron hit it on the head: That "version" casue all new problems in and of itself sometimes, so it's more than just principle =) But good luck getin yer game discs back ^_^

Sir_Brizz · « **Reply #274 on:** 2005-08-27 05:19:31 »

Does the Ultima Version use the AnimeVamp patch or something? Shouldn't fixing it be as simple as putting the 1.02 exe in there?

At any rate, I have the original discs still.
