7th Heaven / Re: Errors with trying mods with discs

« on: 2019-10-06 00:06:13 »

Thanks.  I did everything all over again, this time I downloaded the movies mod first and got the same error, but upon restarting it worked fine.  I then tried the other music mod per your suggestion and that worked, as well as some other ones.  I then tried the regular music mod and... it worked!  (Ultimately I just wanted the OST)  So, not sure what that all means, and again I got that same error message when trying (this time) to activate the movie mod, but everything seems to be working OK at the moment.  Anyway, would love any other suggestions about texture mods.  Mostly just interested in the most enhanced experience.  Thanks again!

Tried everything again with basically the same result, but I can report that when I first tried to activate the music mod, it crashed 7th Heaven with the error below.  Something tells me the music mod installation not working?  I tried disabling the music mod but still no music.  Any ideas?

Thanks - I am finally getting back to this after not being able to work on it for a few days.  I tried it again following LordUrQuan's instructions.  After another no languages found error (dirty disc again?) I tried again and finally got it to work... sort of.  Here are my issues/questions:

1.  As suggested, I did use the native installer this time, but as I said previously it never asked me for discs 1-3 at all.  Does this not matter since the movies are all run from the mods anyway?  Also, do I now always need the thumb drive plugged in called FF7DISC1 whenever I play the game?  Can I just have the actual disc 1 in the drive or does that not work for some reason?

2.  Which mods are the mandatory ones?  Since the movies didn't copy, when I loaded it I found that no movies loaded and the game didn't really work.  It wasn't until I downloaded the movies mod that the movies played and then it worked though I only actually played through the first battle.  So is the movie one a mandatory mod to download/use?  Are there any other ones that you have to have or it won't work?

3.  Although I was able to get it to run, I had no sound whatsoever.  When I ran the conversion tool, I picked an audio device and tested it and it worked fine, but when I actually loaded the game, I got no sound whatsoever, no video sound, music, or SFX.  The one thing that may be worth mentioning is that I do have the PC hooked up to a TV so when I ran the config tool and the dialog came up, the default choice for sound was the TV (via HDMI) and so I picked that (and it tested fine).  Anyway, once I found the sound didn't work, I tried running the conversion tool again and now the videos don't work at all, so maybe I need to try yet another fresh install but I will save that for next time.  In the meantime, any thoughts appreciated.

4.  How to I get the FPS counter to go away?

Thanks a lot!!!

Tried everything againafter clearing my registry keys.  Using the native installer on the install disc I chose maximum but it finished before ever asking me for any of the other discs, so it seems not to work so I used Tom's installer, which seemed to work fine except it gives you an error if you choose anything other than the default path.  But then I downloaded the conversion tool, which seemed to mostly work but gave me a file not found error though it didn't say which file.  Then I tried copying the 7th Heaven tool into the folder (which, again is C:\Program Files (x86)\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII because Tom's installer wouldn't let me pick anything else) and it loads but the Aali driver option doesn't do anything when I pick it.  And when I exit out and run it again this is the error message I get.  Do I need to try manually moving it somewhere else?  If so do I need to manually modify the registry keys?

Thanks.  Good to know I might not need Toms Installer.  Not sure at this point how much of my difficulties were due to the dirty disc. Didn't see the Discord response, I am still new to Discord.  I will see if I can check and try again tonight.  Thanks again!

Update - best I can tell, I was having issues due to a dirty install disc - after trying again after wiping it things seem to work better despite not having gotten error messages initially. Still had the issue that the instructions said not to use Program Files as a path but Tom's Installer wouldn't run if I didn't.  So I have made it further but having issues still and the 7th Heaven app seems to require that I run as administrator or I get an error - is that normal?  Otherwise, the Aali driver doesn't launch when I click it though it did run the first time and I seem to be stuck there.

7th Heaven / Errors with trying mods with discs

I have the (original?) black label FF VII EIDOS discs from back in the day and have been trying the mod instructions for 7th Heaven.  I have Windows 10.

I used the new installer which originally gave me registry errors but trying it again seemed to do the trick.  However, I still get errors where it asks me to insert a disc despite me having done maximum install.  This would seem to indicate it didn't recognize it as maximum install but I don't know.

Then the conversion utility says fatal error - "could not find any languages."

I did try the registry key delete tool which didn't help anything other than now the game says no registry key detected.

Any ideas?  I don't know how many issuges I even have here.  Am I supposed to check the DirectX/DirectShow patches when I install (I assume not)?  Am I supposed to check the patches when I install (I assume yes)?

And what do I check in the config utility for graphics if I have a newer (circa 2012?) AMD card?
