General Discussion / Re: how do I like a user ?

This place isn't like modern social media. There's no like buttons.

If you like someone's work, just reply under their posts with a positive comment, or sending them a PM using the speech balloon icon under their profile picture.

Q-Gears / What's left to be done?

« on: 2010-03-19 05:17:19 »

I've been following this project ever since it was announced and although it appears to be developing very slowly (only Akari is currently working on it, right?), I’m eagerly awaiting it when it (if?) matures.

Anyway, after looking around the Wiki and forum, it seems like every single piece of FF7 has been documented at some point. There are plenty of unknown (or unused) bytes in certain file formats, but it seems that all the primary data has been discovered.

Parts that have been documented are models, animations, sprites, images, walk-meshes, battle math, world maps, field/battle scripts and several others.
So I’ll ask the experts, what’s left to be discovered and/or documented?

While I’m here, I’ll just say; Keep up the good work developer(s).

Troubleshooting / Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8 [v.1-.7.6]

« on: 2010-02-17 08:53:17 »

I sorry if someone has pointed this out, but I've had the game crash when fighting Schizo (at Gaea's Cliff). It was when both of it's heads did that combo attack (one shooting fire, the other shoot ice).

Here's the crash file with app.log;

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Re: Is there a program that is like 3DS Max.... but free???

The interface may be very unfamiliar to begin with but with enough time, it will become very easy to use. It's primary designed for speed (as they say; one hand on the mouse, and the other on the keyboard).

Slight problem on my laptop. Even with battleswirl_framelimiter and vsync set to true, the swirl isn't working.

Most of the time the game flickers from black to the last rendered frame rapidly while the swirl is meant to be displayed. Other times, it'll just be skipped as if it wasn't there.

It is probably another limitation with my GL, but I thought I'll mention it in case it is fixable.

That may already have been fixed actually, there was a problem with GLs that don't have FBO support that would cause all framebuffer effects to fail.

Just tried your latest version, while the "ERROR: GL_INVALID_OPERATION" is no longer in the log, the swirl still isn't displayed.

I'm having a small problem. When I start up FF7, I get an Error message mentioning; "No useful indirect path found, check APP.LOG for more infomation."
