There are no manual downloads at this time. I am going to wait until 2.0 to provide you with manual downloads because the file format is changing in 2.0 and everyone will have to uninstall 1.x mods and redownload all 2.0 again. Hopefully you will have no issues then.


FOR EVERYONE WHO ASKED FOR HELP THIS WEEK

I am not going to do anymore troubleshooting until v2.0 of the Catalog is released. I most definitely want to help resolve your issues, but it would be redundant to do so now since so many changes are being made in the next update. Please be patient with me, the update is almost here 

Is this 2.0 update forced? I have crappy internet and really don't wanna re-download everything...

Music is working now, guess the game just needed restarted.

Now I just have to keep cycling through the different soundtracks to find which one I like.

Is there a way to use the new sound effects without the battle voices?

EDIT: Chose my soundtrack, using "Professional 1" and everything is fantastic, game looks runs and sounds great.

I only have two minor problems, first the field and battle screens have a black bar at the bottom. The victory screen doesn't, just field and battle. What's causing this?

And I'm still wondering about battle voices. They seem out of place, I'd only want this if someone did a full voice mod. That can wait for the PS4 remake though.

I'm back from my vacation. Installed the music and sounds pack. Problem. With either VGMSTREAM or FF7MUSIC plugin, the game is completely mute. Without the plugins enabled, I get the new sound effects, but not the new music, just the old music. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the info. I just now manually rebinded. I will download the music and sound pack when I return from vacation in 2 weeks. I assume this includes sound effects? The core game has dreadful sound effects.


Also i've never played this game before on PC, grew up playing it on PS1, so one question...

How in the heck do you flee from battle with the keyboard? I didn't see it in the key binding list in the config menu.

It said not to if you have a numpad, which I do. So no. Perhaps I will say yes and see what happens.

I'm just gonna leave it all alone for awhile, going away for 2 weeks on Saturday, so i'll get the game running when I get back.

Changed music plugin to none, which got me music, but no sound effects lol.

I'm downloading the music mods now.

Any ideas about the keyboard?

Gotcha.


Just played the first battle, I have no music and now that I look at it, the music folder is empty... how did that happen?

The game also won't recognize any inputs outside my numpad, I don't wanna play with the numpad...

Also, my battle UI strongly resembles Final Fantasy IX, I prefer the original look. What mod do I disable to restore the original UI while keeping the sleeker look of everything else like the main menu/dialogue boxes?

And which mod will give me higher quality battle models?

You forgot how to do it?

Right click on the FF7 game converter and click run as administrator.

If you get the game to boot, let me know if you have the issues i'm having.

Sorry if double posting is bad but I got it to work! I just re-ran the game convertor as an adminastrater and everything worked.

But I have other problems now. My numpad is acting as the arrow keys instead of the actual arrow keys... and there was no sound on the opening credits. Haven't started a new game yet...

I wouldn't doubt this. For the next update, I have removed some files from MO that were unnecessary. The files removed do have the potential to mess with the battle encounters.

I don't know why your movies file is empty. If you do a full install, then the original movies (.avi files) will be there. The downloads are inside [gamedir]\mods\7th Heaven, so you can save them before doing a reinstall. I don't recommend this though because the next update is changing the file compression and will require everyone to download the Catalog again. Pain or not, there is no way of avoiding it.

Did you not use the Game Converter from STEP 1?

It's possible for now, but I've removed files that were unnecessary for MO in the next update. The files removed can cause wrong battle encounters, so hopefully the next update fixes the issue.

Yes, I used the game converter.

Need help, I followed everything step-by-step but the game won't boot with 7th heaven. It says unable to locate registry key. Please Re-install Final Fantasy VII. Then I get a pop up that says "insert disc 1, 2, or 3 and try again"

What am I doing wrong? I installed it outside the program folders, and properly assigned 7th heaven to the proper game folders. What am I missing?

If it matters, it's the steam version and i'm running windows 8.1.

I have crappy internet so i'd really rather not reinstall if at all possible...
