FF7 Tools / Re: Yet Another Multi-Patcher

« on: 2020-03-08 10:56:19 »

I'm having issues trying to get several of these patches to work.  I have the patches I want in the "Patches" folder and I have the install.bat and the skerb.ex_ in the final fantasy vii folder.  When I try to run the installer, it comes up saying:

Final Fantasy VII Skerb's Patch Installer...

Something's gone wrong... dunno what...
Sorry, no patching today.

So I have no idea what I need to do to get this to work.  I'm not sure why I'm missing the temp.bat or the other .bat files.  I did a full install and it didn't work, so I tried it again and I yield the same results.  If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks.

  I had the same problem, but with a different patch.   You're solution was to apply the patch to the ff7.exe on a different computer and it worked.  The topic creator told us the all you need is the the patcher, the patches, and the ff7.exe.

  Instead of moving it to a different computer to to patch, my solution was to just take the ff7.exe from the final fantasy folder and..

 put it in a new folder on your desktop, along with the "Yamp Patcher" (instal and skerb.ex files) , add a "patches" folder WITH the patches you want inside of it.

  Why does this work?  I don't know, but the patcher did not work in the final fantasy folder, once i moved it to the desktop folder it patched fine and I did not get the message that I quoted.  I'm guessing windows don't like to edit the files around the programs files area.

  I made this account to tell people this because I was having trouble with the patch and wanted to help some one else.  Now that I got the patch installed, magic defense on armor works now.  (MDef  on armor fix)  Thanks for the help/patches, have a nice day and see you guys on Runescape   OS
