Releases / Re: [FF7PC-98/Steam] Smoother 60FPS Battles (v0.93)

I love it when teenagers first learn how to use the internet.  It's always such a joy.

Here's an idea.  If you think you can improve upon something, be it a gameplay mod here or something in real life, turns out it's actually more helpful to improve it than to whine and complain.  You think you can do better?  By all means.  We're waiting.

Strange, don't you think? First you make assumptions about my age, however true or false they may be, then you suddenly shift and ask for assistance.

What I can give you is the source code of the program I've been using to set the frame rate myself back then. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe it's utterly useless, maybe its base might help. I have no idea. But there you go: http://pastebin.com/tzfhMh0B

The link is invalidated in a day though, so you'd better hurry up.

This is truly great. Because you have completely missed the point.

1. I haven't commented on the fact that there might have been some flaws with the project itself. No word at all. I was commenting on the UTTERLY convoluted installation process which could have been simplified with one proper patch included with the 2xcam one (apart from the files that still would have to be patched into the LGP files - something that I actually understand AND approve of). Even if there are some flaws with the patch itself, it's still a major improvement over 15 FPS (although I found myself to be somewhat content with 19, which I patched by myself. How did I do that? Oh, I just wrote a C program - like I already suggested - that would set the battle speed to 19 FPS. Makes me wonder why the maintainer couldn't have done so ... because, you know, it takes less than 300 LOC, and it would still be highly commented, and there would be a small API to search for other values within the file. Just saying).

2. I was also commenting on the insulting documentation. Seriously, I mean it, it's insulting. It might be a somewhat impressive technical project, I admit that without hesitation. But not having all information in the OP - or expecting me to read through all of this text as someone who just wants to get it running - and even suggesting AGAIN to read something that I am absolutely not interested in - you see the point?

Thanks for making my point that somehow you guys COMPLETELY missed what this is about. It's about how this now dead project is dealt with. I mean, hell, there are questions that even I  - who just tried this patch out yesterday - could answer, because I ran into the same problems, but unlike other people, I could SOLVE them. ANYONE would have done so.

Whoever smelt it, dealt it.

Good to see that this project seems to be as dead as the interest of the maker to document his stuff properly - then again, that shouldn't wonder anyone. People inherently stop caring about the stuff they did at certain points.

@Amon1995 if you are still here: Apparently you didn't follow the steps in the tutorial. This use to happen if you do not use HextLaunch to start FF7. And if FF7 does not start, then that is because you didn't configured the path in the settings.ini properly.
Then again, since the OP didn't mention this fact AT ALL, BUT ONLY THE INSTALLATION README included with it (which is a total JOY, because you'd expect something as CRUCIALLY NEEDED as this application, only surpassed by an actual PATCH - and by that I don't mean a fricking C# program that requires .NET, but a real binary PATCHER in C or C++, like something to actually EDIT the values required for 60 FPSs in battle mode to work - to be INCLUDED in the package. Because people otherwise would be downloading the package from a different PC, get it on a stick, transfer it to a Windows PC, open the archive and would see the insulting reference on a usually totally unneeded additional package - oh, wait, THAT'S WHAT'S ACTUALLY THE CASE HERE).

So there. Try to do it like that, works for me.

@albruto: Well, what did you do? Because I did it, just yesterday, and boy, at least the packaging works like a charm. Then again, the packager comes from Aali, who has proven his competence more than enough times.

Oh and SCREW this verification system. I cannot BELIEVE people would submit to such a broken verification system that first requires you to do the verification per registration, and then per post. Your admin's competence at work, guys!
