Title: NPC RP .6 problem...
Post by: HeavensCloud on 2008-04-06 14:57:04
I tried installing it, and everything goes fine except when I try to create a new char.lgp at the end, I ALWAYS get a stream read error... it varies how much of the file I get (sometimes it seems I get about half the correct size, sometimes around 75%), but there is always a stream read error.  Any idea whats causing this, and ways around it?

Also I run Vista.  And for an update, I now have 4 different lgp files, all with different sizes.  So I have no idea what the problem is but everytime it apparently gets hung up at a different spot.

Also one other issue that I may as well put in this thread while I'm at it...

Movies work fine for me, but at the end of the movie the screen goes black and I have to enter and exit the menu to see anything.  The game doesn't freeze, I just have to enter/exit to get it to come back.  Is this normal for the PC version or is there a conflict somewhere?

I really want to get this all to work... spent a lot of hours the past few days editing my FF7 music so it would loop properly for the game, and now I can't get the game to work :( 

Hopefully I can figure out what to do, if not I'll have to wait for Square to deliver a proper remake

Yeah I've actually been able to get the updated version to work but kind of hoping to get .6 working... I want the sword on Cloud's back lol.  And I noticed you mentioned Materia on the grounds not visible, that could hurt me as I haven't played the game in about 8 years...

Well randomly it finally decided to work and give me the char.lgp.. however NOW, I have a whole other mess.

I set up my FFmusic already, and when I run FF7 from FF7music, I get my music, but the models aren't updated.  If I run FF7 normally I get my models but can't get the music... wtf :(  Any answers?  Do I need a full reinstall or what?

EDIT:  OK, everything I need to work is working now, I just reinstalled it in the proper order.
