Graphical / Re: [WIP]HQ Models for Unconverted STEAM/SE FF7 Rerelease

« on: 2013-07-12 00:03:56 »

I do not understand why any of the mods contained in this package would not be compatible with this "CHS patch". I'm unfamiliar with the CHS patch, however, and I suppose it may be designed exclusively for the PSX emulated version or the Ultimate version? The Ultimate version is not supported here. If your game uses lgp files with the CHS patch, this group of mods should work after being encoded into the correct files.

Edit: K, I want to just be clear that Chinese users will most likely be playing in English, right? So my example in the above post was for Spanish, the English files would be world_us.lgp and high-us.lgp. Also, those 2 mods are completely the work of Kaldarasha. I have uploaded the picture files for a tutorial but writing it up is a painful chore. I am afraid it will cause more confusion than help. 

CHS patch DO work if using LGP tools to make a battle. lgp、char.lgp mod(example:APZ's cloud graphic mod)， but DO NOT work with the open screen mod, menu mod, transparent dialogue....besides the finger(finger on cloud's head) mod do not work, and the mods like the magic or screen HQ mod work with Aali's graphic DO NOT work with CHS patch.

If u would like to help, pls advise the way for me to send u the CHS patch, I will do it ASAP. thank you

Hiya Scar,

I had issues with the world map with the initial release of this package. I had to reupload version 1.11 with a lot of world map stuff removed. Please restore your backup world_xx.lgp file and repack the files, if you haven't used the latest version. Hope that helps.

Edit: Having to look again at the game files that have versions for each language and I'm uploading a fixed version of the package (v1.12). The previous versions may cause incompatibilities for installs other than English. The package is designed to work with all of the languages. battle.lgp data and char.lgp data will remain unaffected by the new version.

With the files that have 4 versions (1 for each language) you need to dump the .lgp that goes with your language (ex. C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\minigames\high-sp.lgp) and add the files from the HQModels package to the dumped folder. For example, I installed in Spanish and I am about to do the world map textures. Using uLGP I dump the contents of world_sp.lgp to a folder (like C:\world) and then extract the files from the "world" folder in this package to c:\world, overwriting any files. I use uLGP to compile a new lgp file (C:\world_sp.lgp) and create a BACKUP of the original world_sp.lgp in my game directory's data\wm\ folder. Last I move the newly compiled file from C:\world_sp.lgp to that data\wm folder in my game directory.

Hi Template,

Thank you for your instructions in every detail. I will try the version 1.12.

I am a big FF7 fan from China, unfortunately, there is no offical Chinese language so far, but folk fans make the chinese translation PATCH, but the patch do not work with BOOTLEG or Aali's graphic mod. that's too bad.

I am just supposed to post a new thread to look for help, hoping that someone could help the chinese FF7 fans to make the CHS patch work for Bootleg or Aali's graphic mod, could you pls do me favor. Thank you in advance!

Use HDR or Default setting or manually set your shader in the Plugins tab. Don't use any of the Complex shaders.

Open FF7Config.exe and go to the Sound tab. If the sound device is blank, then set one.

Thank you, I use another computer and installed, it works this time .

Now a new problem come out, I have Cloud mod and LGP tools, in cloud mod, there are 3 folders: 1.battle(a folder named:"final battle" inside)   2. field chibi 3. high res field

could you pls tell me how to patch the mod in very details? thank you in advance!

I think I know the issue that you are having with your graphics card. I had an issue that seriously isn't documented anywhere, but it works.

After installing and modding the installation, try and launch "FF7Config.exe" from your FF7 installation folder.

If it doesn't open, then you most likely have the same issue that I had.

1. If you have an NVidia card go to the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\coprocmanager" (It may be different directory on your system).
2. Rename the file "Nvd3d9wrap.dll" to something else.
3. Afterwards re-run the FF7Config.exe. If it works, set your display device, sound device, etc.
4. After closing FF7Config, rename "Nvd3d9wrap.dll" back to the original filename.

Then it should work. I hope this helps.

I just tried safe setting in OpenGL configuration, this time, it is even worse,

the computer says: OpenGL renderer appears to be the Microsoft software renderer. Your graphics driver are probably not installed correctly. Expect extreme lag.

PS: could you pls also advise me how to add attachment. thank you

That is just terrible the internet is so filtered there... I will put together a CD for you if you cannot get Tifa's Bootleg downloaded. As long as you are able eventually to get it downloaded, we can get it to work if you don't get mad and start yelling lol

Hi, I am back, I have finished download bootleg 040 and installed by following the instructions

but bad luck, when I click "play FF7" button, it shows some windows and flash for times, and then go back to the desktop......really get mad of this situation

Great! I am sure your computer can play bootleg 40 in English. First step is either download the rerelease 2012 version from Square Enix website. Its cheap. you should do it that way. or you can do ebay for a 1998 copy, which is what I did 10 years ago. or find whatever passes for a "real" english pc ff7 copy in China. whatever it is it needs to be an exact version of those 2 releases. we are only able to support those.


After you do that we can continue. if you have this already I dont see why we cannot continue working immediately.  I can send you a cd or dvd rom with the mods on it if the downloading is the problem.

I really appreciate your kind reply!  thank you very much

I am trying to download the BOOTLEG 040, it will take days , as the network situation in China, hoping this time everything will be fine .

Thank you, if I failed with bootleg 040， I will tell you , hoping that you can send me your cd with mods, pls tell me what can I do for you to reply you, I WILL try me best .

Thank you , thank you again

First off, your English is good, so you should practice and it will only get better.

I bet someone smart (I'd have to learn how to do it) could just remote access your computer and set it up for you. That is service totally worth paying for but I strongly suggest you learn the mod programs because it is very likely you will either have to reinstall FF7 or you will want to change the mods you have installed in the future. 

The best way to start learning is to post your system specs (type of processor, type of graphics card, type of windows or operating system) and ask for personalized assistance.

I do not personally think it would be ethical to charge for this assistance, but if there is a bilingual English/Chinese ff7 pc mod expert around then maybe their services might be worth paying for.

I wish you would use this thread to learn to install and use the mods yourself by asking questions here when you run into problems. That is really what this board is for, it's not really supposed to be about money at all. I think if you got a lot of help from someone, and you wanted to donate money to them afterward, that would be OK.

I am available for questions in this specific case via PM in English. I do not usually return PMs for this type of assistance. So, if you can try to read my English I will try to be careful with words I use.

Thank you for trusting me and the great advice, I will try, I tried the bootleg 039 for 2012 ff7 and failed, maybe this time I will try the bootleg 040, hoping 040 would work.

I use laptop,here followed the specification, if there any problem?

CPU:   Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo T6600, 2200 MHz (11 x 200)
Motherboard:   Lenovo KL1
Graphic card:   NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M  (512 MB)

The 10000 was a joke. Don't take that seriously.

The most legal way to do this is for you to obtain the 1998 PC version. To insure the highest level of mod compatibility it would need to be the US version. The most legal way to do that is likely going to involve eBay or something similar. I can't sell you my disks because they don't work. I won't make copies of them because that is illegal.

It WOULD be legal, yet somewhat shady, for someone here to buy a computer and the disks and ship it to you later. There are some pretty cheap laptops here that could run this game just fine. I would like to help, but I don't have the time to budget that all out.

I really appreciate your kind reply!

I tried hundreds times to install the bootleg mods, different ways, even different computers, but never working, really make me crazy,
everytime I run the game with bootleg, the computer says the graphic problems even use old drive,

So I have to use tools like lgp or tex2img to convert and patch the mods by myself, but some mods may work, the others mods never work and even may make the game crash, 9999limit break mod not work for the game with  CHS patch ........Avalanche mod not work because of the graphic problem.

I may reluctantly accepted the game without CHS patch to have all the great graphic mods as you have. but still work. really make me crazy

I know buying a FF7 with mods is illegal, if possible, if I could give you money and you buy a legal copy and then help me to patch all the mods and ship the game with mods to me by FEDEX

I've never understood S-E's business decisions. I'm not entirely convinced they even do. What I can say is that the rerelease includes four languages: English, Spanish, French, and German. I'm not sure if the game ever even got an official Chinese translation (seems unlikely, as the Playstation was never officially released in China), but if the rerelease isn't in the language, it makes sense not to release in that territory.

No official Chinese translation,but some people make the CHS patch, you may check this picture.To be honest very few game have official Chinese translation, so there are many unoffical forums make mods or CHS patchs, such as game.ali213.net, bbs.3dmgame.com

Wow had no idea SE not selling rerelease in China. Why? Seems like a very large market I'd want to have my product available in.

Because pirate is everywhere in China, people just download online or pay 5RMB for a game, not only for PC but also for PS3 and XBOX 360.

There is nothing illegal about selling a preinstalled copy of FF7 if the original discs are included, or even a full set of mods regardless. If he is in fact in China (which his older posts seem to corroborate), he also can't buy rerelease; S-E is not selling it there. This request seems fairly reasonable, albeit probably more work than anybody wants to put into it.

To tell the truth, I am from China, you may check my IP for my older posts, now I use other IP because I use VPN now for faster browseing.

FB, TWITTER, YOUTUBE is forbidden in China, people in china have to use vpn, I can visit Qhimm with China IP, but very very slow.

I tried some ways to install mods, some mods work, some mods never work as the graphic problem, I do not know why, I use Nvidia GT 130, I even tried old drive, but still not working.

my english sucks, I can not learn all the ways to patch mods as you did, so I am here to call for help.

Pls trust me

I am not rich, $10000 is too much,  if anyother way can let me repay you , I will try my best.

I applaud your ingenuity, but I think considering how well you write in English this is either a) ridiculous because you could buy rereleased ff7 and download it, mod it up in a few days at worst.  or b) a scam

and it will always be

c) illegal

Unless someone sells you their original 1998 discs, and a copy of windows 8 along with a hard drive that has all necessary components installed, which I will do if you paypal me $10,000 USD upfront first and allow 2-6 weeks for shipping.

Thank you for you reply!

Sorry, my english sucks as it is not my mother language.

I know you may not trust me, it is does not matter, typing english really difficult to me, so I am not able to express myself well.

I have made a research on the mods, but only for the battle field models, never working for the background mod.

what I want say is everytime I use bootleg and install, I can not able to run the game, computer says the graphic problem, for this I tried the old driver for my graphic card, but it still not working. But god!!! I really want to have these great mods, so I tried to use the lgp tools, img2tex .... many many tools, and successfully make custom AC  cloud working, But I really want to have a perfect FF7 just like all you guys have, like what you showed on youtube, by the way, I watched the Install Tutorial for Bootleg Configurator , and I am sure I have done all the steps you showed in the video, but really not working.

So , I am here to say , I really need help, I tried many tools, tried many many times, but never work. IF  anyone here can share me his game, and assure me I can successfully run the game in my computer, I can pay, or other ways to repay, such as I can offer some paying member account of some online storage.

Sorry, but we don't support pirated copies. I can assure you that the YAMP version works with original ff7_en.exe (the one 14MB in size), as I'm using it with no problems at all. The only thing I had to do is change the name of the file.

Thank you for your reply, dziugo, now I am going to find a way to purchase the legal copy, thanks again

Is it Vincent attacking? What are your thresholds for HP/Damage?Use YAMP and rename the ff7_en.exe file to ff7.exe when patching (then rename it back to ff7_en.exe). Should work.

Thx for your prompt response!

I have already tried, but it does not work as well, I rename the FF7_en.exe to ff7.exe, and run the install.bat, the problem shows: "patch done."  but but ff7.exe turns to 0 bytes(5,858 kb befroe patch), I can't run the game.

Here also followed the debug txt, please kindly check:
