Releases / [BETA RELEASE] Higher Resolution FFVIIPC [v1.00]

« on: 2005-11-22 10:56:14 »

I guess if someone can provide me with the executables and the filenames to change for each version, I can create some kind of international patch.

The executables can be found in the FinalFantasy FAQ. It' s a sticky thread. The first one i think.

The filelist for the german version can be found in my Tutorial what can be found here:

..\data\cd\cr_gm.lgp
..\data\cd\disc_gm.lgp
..\data\menu\menu_gm.lgp
..\data\wm\world_gm.lgp
..\data\minigame\high-ge.lgp (YES it's "-" in stead of "_")
..\data\minigame\snowboard-ge.lgp (YES it's "-" in stead of "_")

-> into filename_us.lgp (ie. ..\data\cd\cr_gm.lgp -> ..\data\cd\cr_us.lgp)

6. Remove the language-letter form follwing files:

..\FFVII\data\field\gflevel.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gchocobo.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gcondor.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gsub.lgp

(ie. ..\FFVII\data\field\gflevel.lgp -> ..\FFVII\data\field\flevel.lgp)

I guess this should it be.
I hope this helps.
Regards

Your TFT must be able to display 1280x960 and you have to use 640x480 fullscreen and Hardware rendering, or it won't work. Ah and the TNT nvidia option.

Maybe thats your problem. Try to connect another display to your laptop.

I renamed them into -us.lgp!

I once again checked all files. U must have forgot something.

Or its because i did not overwrote the FFVIIConfig.exe with the english one. Thats the old 1.2ger vrsion. Maybe try this.

Thats all i can imagine.

Ah. Maybe!

Do you have a TFT? Try the 1.280x1.024 patch saint offered in the same patch.

If the files didn't named correctly the game just don't start. Black screen means something different!

Did you took the TNT patch and the hardware acceleration inside the FFVIIConfig.exe?

No i don't have gridlines any more! Its the afford of the great job from Saint. He made a Radeon AA and AF Gridline Patch insetred inside the HighRes patch.

Do you really renamed all files? I just checked my list. But i think i didn't forgot anything. Do you renamed the gflevel.lgp? Thats the one i forgot at first.

Did you reinstalled the game? You better delete the whole Gamefolder and make a fresh installation. Just because you maybe messed up some files.

Just in cause. Make a fresh install! And backup your save folder!!!

That should do it. It worked pretty for me!

muss man  wirklich neuinstalliern?
bei mir gehts ohne nicht...
THX

Hehe, ich glaube du hast ganz vergessen, dass das hier ein englischsprachiges Forum ist.

So lets talk in english:

I think it will also work without a new installation. But i just mentioned it, to avoid any mistakes. Try. If it wont work, reinstall.

Ah and check your mail!

Another one:

@EmperorSteele:

What did you make, that your picture looks like this:

I mean the background! Why is it so "sharp" and not so crappy like in all the other pictures? I'm playing 4x AA and 8x AF, so what is your trick?

Plz tell us.

greetings

@grisu: Ach dafür nicht.  

It really looks so amazing. A great job, Saint. You can now see the little shells dropping on the floor, when Barret shoots his gun. Its really an afford.
-------------

Yeah maybe the .exe tweaking could ease the whole process. And maybe someone know a solution for the english menu. I ask myself why square made a menu_gm.lgp when the menu is compiled inside the .exe.hmmm..

So now i try the Reunion patch.... :love:

I did it!! I finally did it!

I just forgot to rename a bit more files.

Here is the tutorial for applying the great HighRes Patch on non-english versions:

1. Make a fresh FULL install from your original FFVII CD.
2. Get the english 1.2 XP Patch.
3. Overwrite the original FF7.exe and the FF7Config.exe in your Gamefolder with the patched ones found in the archive.
4. Apply Saints great HighRes Patch, just like posted in these thread.
5. Replace your language-code from following files:

..\data\cd\cr_gm.lgp
..\data\cd\disc_gm.lgp
..\data\menu\menu_gm.lgp
..\data\wm\world_gm.lgp
..\data\minigame\high-ge.lgp            (YES it's "-" in stead of "_")
..\data\minigame\snowboard-ge.lgp  (YES it's "-" in stead of "_")

-> into filename_us.lgp (ie. ..\data\cd\cr_gm.lgp -> ..\data\cd\cr_us.lgp)

6. Remove the language-letter form follwing files:

..\FFVII\data\field\gflevel.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gchocobo.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gcondor.lgp
..\FFVII\data\minigame\gsub.lgp

(ie. ..\FFVII\data\field\gflevel.lgp -> ..\FFVII\data\field\flevel.lgp)

These are the german files, if you want to patch another version, just look for the same files ending with your language code (ie. _sp for spanish or _fr for french, _it for italian i guess). The files beginning with g, in my german version, should start with s, f or i, relating to your language.

After doing so, you should be able to play the game in HighRes and in your language. Only the Menu still remains in english, but this should not to be a problem.

I hopes this helps.

peace

Hallo!

Jupp bin ich. Ich hab jetzt gerade mal probiert ob es an der CD1 liegen könnte. Und siehe da auf der CD1 befindet sich auch die world_gm. Also hab ich mal eben ein Image gezogen, dieses dann mit UltraISO geöffnet und die Datei umbenannt. Anderes Image draus gemacht und...

Nix, nada. Läuft nicht. Mist..

-..-.-.-.-.-.-...-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-...-...------.-.-.-

So and now international:

I made in Image out of my CD1 and renamed the world_gm into world_us and made a new image, which i mounted, but sadly no succes.

So it cannot be done with simply renaming the files. There has to be another way.

@saint: isn't it possible to make an patcher that only patches the highres related parts in the .exe, so we can make an multi-langual patcher. Is it possible for you to see what parts in the .exe are language related?

Would it be helpfull for you to have the german exe? Maybe i can help. Tell me what kind of programm i should use to decompile the .exe.

I cannot be that hard to make this patcher international.

peace

Hi.

Sorry i don't have any solution for your problem, but how do you manage to make this patch work. I have the german version and want to patch too.
So please tell me how you made it. What files do you renamed?
Do you used the english 1.2 exe?

Thanks

There are files usfont_*tex
what to do with them?

They don't matter, i think. Just because these files are stored in the menu_gm.lgp. They are named _us and are stored in the german version of this file. So it cannot relate our problem. Or am i wrong?

Can someone who managed to patch a non english version of this game, please post how he/she managed? I would be very appreciated, coz i couldn't manage. I want to run this game in high-res too.

Can the french guy please post how he managed to patch. I saw pics earlier in this thread, so please don't just tell, it worked for you and don't tell us how to!! That's not what forums are for!

Besides @saint GREAT work.

Maybe we (non english people) can help? Where is the matter we cannot patch a non english version? I guess no language related files are stored in the .exe.

I just scanned all lgp files. There are no language related files stored in.

There are just these 4 files i think they are language related:

..\data\cd\cr_gm.lgp
..\data\cd\disc_gm.lgp
..\data\menu\menu_gm.lgp
..\data\wm\world_gm.lgp

And there are these two files:

..\data\minigame\high-ge.lgp
..\data\minigame\snowboard-ge.lgp

I just thought they could be important, just because GE is the german language code, not gm BTW. Square propably didn't know
Can someone please comfirm, if these two -ge files are or are not language related?

I try to be a helping hand as far as i can. So please help us.
Greets and respect to saint.
