Ah. Alright, that makes sense. Though I also noticed that Yuffie's stats seem to differ from the readme. I compared everyone's to what I was getting from Ochu on a new game, and the only ones that seem to differ from the readme are Yuffie's, Cait Sith's and Vincents - and now I know why for the latter two due to Y. Cloud and Sephiroth.

Is there an up-to-date list of the base stats for 1.5 available somewhere? And has HP/MP been tweaked too? I'm not sure how to fix that if that's also messed up. I'm a little nervous about starting a new game and getting all the way back to Kalm or Corel and finding that it's still bugged somehow.

EDIT: Oh, right... and it looks like the sum of everyone's stats are supposed to fall into a 150-170 range, Vincent and Cait Sith included (though if using the values you provided they're more around 170-190), but Cid tops out at 207. Is this intentional due to their late arrival into the party?

Ah! I guess that explains it. Early on I was messing with the exes and a trainer because the last time I had played I messed up with the .exes and had to fix things mid-game. I noticed sources weren't being applied correctly, nor the materia, so I redownloaded the IRO and got the ff7_bc.exe out of it (since I'm using the menu overhaul) and things seemed to work after that. But I didn't start a fresh new game so I guess Cait and Vincent both still had their values messed up. I only just find out now though after getting Cait. Can I still edit the values to their default?

Thanks for the explanation.

EDIT:

Actually, I notice the default values you give don't match what's in the Readme.txt. Are those the raw values without gear/materia changes? And if so, do you have the values for the other characters? I just want to make sure I can fix mine if the values in the readme include their gear and materia loadout at first availability. On that note, I'm also not sure how, if possible, I can fix the HP/MP values too... darn. I'm not sure I'm up for a complete restart at this point x.xa

EDIT 2: Ok, I'm confused now. I'm testing a new game and looking at stats in Ochu; Cait Sith's are 42/41/40/39/28/29, so that's not right. Vincent's are 112/65/81/75/71/46. I know sources work with the FF7_BC.exe I'm using and I thought Materia had the right values... something like -15 VIT and INT on Elemental? +3 VIT/INT and +3% MaxHP on Barrier?

EDIT 3: I've taken an Ochu screenshot ( https://imgur.com/KSst4Ea ) of the values from starting a new game. I just extracted a fresh ff7_bc.exe from the emergency exe folder in the standalone, but I was using the 7H setup. Is there something about the 7H setup and where the exes from that come from that work differently for 1.5?

I've run into an issue with my current playthrough of 1.5 and I'm wondering if there's an easy fix for it.

For some reason, Cait Sith's starting stats upon joining the party seems to be incorrect; their spread is 10/5/11/13/11/15 (taking into account removing gear bonuses and materia).

They're currently level 31, and I haven't used any sources on them. Is there anything I should set their stats to using Ochu or such, or should I try to reload an earlier save? I think the stats would still already be set at that point.

EDIT:

Actually, looking at it more closely, I want to ask about how the initial stats are presented in the help document. Namely, what assumptions are there; is this their stats assuming initial materia and equipment loadout, AFTER their pre-banked rank-ups and not taking into account build options?

I'm curious to know what their raw stat values are supposed to be without taking any of those into account.
