You can not install straight on to the desktop, your best bet is to install it like this C:\Final Fantasy VII, maximum install. If the game converter is throwing out errors be sure to run as admin. Also make sure to mount the blank ISO. That always calculating problem, sounds to me like either a server problem or a internet one. What you may want to try is cleaning the folder in the app data and try again. Also Run the 7TH heaven EXE with admin rights too.

when i install ff7 i did it to the max also i have the real ff7 1998 cd so do i use disk 1 n not a blank iso? other then that thank you for the reply ill be trying what you said now ;D
-

im fine now you helped me thank you, now its just to see if i can play the game after all these mods done downloading, would the game work now? because if i try to play ff7 without mods after installation it wont play
-
Liek the guide said, you can either use the blank iso or rename a USB drive or hard drive to FF7DISC1. The converter and in extension the game, just needs to have a drive called that, so it can virtually see that the CD is inside your drive. I never tried leaving the CD inside, but I am guessing it would work if you did. Would give you a feeling of the past, when disc would keep spinning while we played games XD
I never player vanilla after I found bootleg/7th Heaven. I never had a problem with the game because of 7th Heaven. I did have problems running the game, but it was a bad configuration on my side. At least on windows 7 I do NOT set any compatibility options, when using 7th heaven that is. I did that only way way in the past when playing the game vanilla, without mods. Like Yuffie said, sometimes the converter throws errors. Better pay close attention to it.
-
The converter was updated for this release, which I hope fixes most of the access denied, run as admin type of errors people get.
Having the install disc in your CD-Rom drive is ok, so long as the drive reads it as FF7DISC1. The renaming of a drive or using the mounted ISO is just a trick to have the game think the original CD is loaded, and it has to be there when you run the converter so that the registry keys can read what drive letter it wants to read FF7DISC1 from.
-
ok thanks :) i bought the 1998 version to be doing this, when i tried again i did run as admin on both converter and 7th heaven and no errors so its all working until these mods done downloading then we see when it comes to playing, the 2Gb+ ones take hrs :O
-
Sorry, I can't help with the larger sizes on some of the categories :-\ The Field Textures made it up to 10+GB when we added satsuki waifu textures, so I decided it was best to split that one into 2 parts.
-
naaa its fine :P
i like your avatar its cute :3, i cant find the mods "Dynamic Cloud Weapons"Team Avalanche Fields" (i put the rest in order with what i got) and because "The Reunion" is on the top "The Reunion - Beacause: root\ff7_bc.exe" set thst exe location only?
-
Not sure what you mean by, "cant find the mods Dynamic Cloud Weapons Team Avalanche Fields" Did you download them? Check the window pane on the right side to see for blue text that says they were installed. It tells you it was installed after the download completes.
It's not actually "root\ff7_bc.exe" --- root is just the location where your game is installed, so if you installed in C:\Games\FF7 then you would put into FF7 Exe C:\Games\FF7\ff7_bc.exe
I would load The Reunion - Beacuase and Menu Overhaul towards the bottom. Put all the Miscellaneous categories at the top, then everything else in alphabetical order. That is how I tested everything and it works great.
-
well on yourtifas final heaven post it says Miscellaneous -
Dynamic Cloud Weapons
Miscellaneous - Jessie Mod
Miscellaneous - Sephiroth Story Mod
Miscellaneous - Team Avalanche Fields
Any order thereafter (I recommend alphabetically)
and on my catalog i dont see the ones that i mentioned, so i cant download Team Avalanche Fields Dynamic Cloud Weapons
-
Did you update the Workshop -> Settings with the new subscriptions link?
Once you do that, close 7H. Then go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\7thWorkshop and delete the Catalog.xml. Now reopen 7H and click on Workshop -> Check subscriptions now. Then go to the Catalog tab and click the Search button to refresh. The new Catalog 2.0 should be there.
-
thanks its fixed :)
-
ok so back on here i moved on abit more the game loads but with no music and when i start new game nothing but black i can see chat boxes and sound effects and thats it not even a intro video unless thats suppose to be missing.
-
Where did you originally install the game, before the GC moved it to a new location?
-
well the last time i did put it in C: like someone said to do so its that with Final Fantasy VII as a name, so the GC(gamecube?) didnt have to move it
-
GC = Game Converter
I have no idea how your game is installed at this point, but something isn't right. Go here and follow the steps in the first question for starting over completely fresh: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16538.0
After you've got a completely fresh install in a non-system folder (e.g. C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII), continue with STEP 1 again.
-
ok but doesnt the game need patching so it will work on win 8?
-
It's all included in the Game Converter.
-
ok then, thank you for helping me :) also i need to install the mods again right? or probably redo everything?
-
I'd recommend you download again. Remember to delete everything inside the the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\7thWorkshop folder before you open 7H again.
-
ok i used the link you gave me ...
1. Uninstall Final Fantasy VII.
2. Delete all the junk files in the game directory.
2. Run this to clean FF7 registry keys
when using the GC it says its already been patched if i try to overwrite it gives a failed to find languages
i also reinstalled ff7 into C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII
i also did the deleted 7thworkshop folder
-
Run the GC and choose to Unpatch first. Then you can run again and patch.
-
telling me to put a path to data/movie but that folder doesnt exist
-
nvm its fine now but still no sound saying something couldnt be found in the game and i havent used 7th heaven yet
-
You should have sound. There is a music\vgmstream folder and the music files are in there. This is where the Aali's driver pulls the music from.
-
my music\vgmstream folder is empty did a miss something?
-
Yes, the GC should have moved the music files from the data\music_ogg folder to the music\vgmstream folder. This means the GC did not work properly for you. Post your FF7_GC.log for me please.
-
here you go :)

Does your data\music_ogg folder have the music files in it?
-
data\music_ogg folder, there is music type files but nothing to do with ogg folder no folder at all in data/music
-
Ok, you're running original 1998 game discs? I think I know the "issue" now, though it's not really an issue. The 2012 Square Enix Store and 2013 Steam releases have the updated data\music_ogg folders with looping OGG music files. The original game had the .midi files in data\music. This isn't a problem for you, as you just need to download the Media - Music and Sound category from the Catalog and run one of the music mods there.
I may have to make a 2nd GC for anyone using the original game discs, and have it place the original music in the music\vgmstream folder. That's only needed if you want to play with music and without downloading the Media - Music and Sound category from the Catalog.
Does the opening movie with Aerith/Midgar play for you?
-
yea i am using the 1998 disc
ok so without mods when i start i still cant see anything there is no aerith/midgar cutscene just black and sound effects with the text box "come on new comer"
in data/music the music type files but not midi format back in data file there is a data/midi folder
i am planning on using the music mod but that didnt change a thing after i downloaded and installed it
i have ff7 steam version could i rip the music from that and put in data/music/ogg folder?
-
No, I'm worried about the part in your FF7_GC.log where it didn't recognize the movies folder. You then appeared to have typed in the wrong location for the data\movies folder, so it tried creating one for you and it's in the wrong location.
If you have the Steam version, I'd use that. It has been what I've run most my tests on. I can install the original discs sometime later and problem solve this stuff myself. At this point, we're running in circles when we could move forward with the Steam version.
-
ok sorry about that but i personally know alot more about this stuff thanks to you :) i guess i made a bad choice with using the 1998 version but hey the box looks cool lol
-
I have an issue myself now, I can not figure this out sorry.
