Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.11b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

« on: 2012-01-24 02:00:47 »

@anything This might be me again...  we did change the limit bar size with a patch (i think...) and this could have meant a code cave.  Please make sure dep is not active or that ff7 is exempt.

Brilliant!

I had added ff7 to the exception list before, but that didn't work. However, following your advice I turned it off entirely and reinstalled it, and it finally worked!

Thank you very much.

Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.11b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

« on: 2012-01-23 11:35:04 »

Hi Aali,

sl1982 recommended that I post here to try and find a solution to my problem.

My problem is that upon installing Avalanche GUI, the FF7 crashes after the very first battle, when the exp screen should come up. 
The game works fine when it is just vanilla, with the 1.02 patch, and with the custom driver.

Here is a link to my crash.dmp file: http://www.mediafire.com/?12kjn13cmqd2gm6

The desktop is still a system folder.
Install to a folder like 'D:\Games\' for best results.

Avalanche crashes the game for you?
What video card are you using?
Post your APP.LOG.
You might try disabling shaders.

Yeah it crashes it after the first battle, when the exp screen would normally show up.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Configurator and FF7 Mod Installation

« on: 2012-01-21 15:36:21 »

I have been installing to a non system folder.

I've discovered now that even choosing the minimal option in BFE has the same effect - crashing at the end of the battle. I'm currently seeing if it is the TA GUI giving me the trouble, by doing it manually.

Edit: Worked fine with vanilla, 1.02 and Aali's, but after installing the Avalanche GUI it stopped working again, so I think that's the culprit.

Unfortunately 37 didn't fix my problems at all, it seems to be doing exactly the same: If menu overhaul is ticked, the game crashes when the new game screen should show up. If it is unticked, then the game crashes after winning the first battle, so I suppose something else also needs to be unticked.

As far as I can tell I have followed the instructions for installation exactly, and I have already tried changing the compatibility settings and config settings, so I just don't know what else to do.

Additionally, though it probably won't help, in the crash.dmp it does say "The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access" for ff7.exe.

Well I don't know why I didn't try it before, but I reinstalled it again, except this time I didn't select the Menu Overhaul option. This seemed to work, as I finally got the the new game screen, and began playing. However, after the very first battle, it went to a black screen and the game crashed again. I'll try some different things again to see if I can get past that point, but at least there's progress.

Ok so as soon as I finish the battle, with Cloud swinging his Buster Sword, the game goes to a black screen, with the music continuing to play. If I don't press anything then it stays like this, as soon as I press a key it stops and a messages comes up saying ff7.exe has stopped working.

Yeah I did run it in compatibility mode with all the settings ticked, doing this is as I said the same outcome, the only difference is in the APP.log:
ERROR: texture dimensions exceed max texture size, will not be able to load c:\games\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\/mods/bootleg/menu/buster_00.png
ERROR: NPOT textures not suppported, will not be able to load c:\games\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\/mods/bootleg/menu/buster_00.png

I've been really itching to play this, but try as I might I cannot get the game to run after using bootleg. Whenever I launch the game, after the Eidos/Squaresoft screens, it comes up with an error message saying "oops something very bad happened". I've tried many things to fix it, but nothing has worked as of yet.

I am aware that the issue will likely be solved with 0037, but I'm sitting here bored and really want to play it ASAP, so I'm posting this hoping for a way to fix it.

## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

# Disable Error Notifications
disable_popup = on

# Load from Any CD
load_library = FF7anyCD.dll
