Greetings, its been ages.

I loaded up a save file that was on hold for a while and I'm around lvl 70 with my main characters.

Wanted to know which area has enemies with the most EXP so I can grind it and lvl them all up asap as I can.

Did tried the pots down at the NC, but it was changed.

Thanks in advanced.

if your wanting quick as possible, left paths in crater are good if find pain there you can try this
Spoiler: show
 equip flash, added effect+hades,  if have a second addedeffect pair with contain. makes crater a breeze
  other than that cargo ship is pretty decent theres an expPlus materia as well... which could use remember to swap it out. Higher level so your aware, doesn't automatically make easier... can complete the game at starting level relative easy (although a little grindy for items at times). level is not everything, equipment and materia matter much more.  ps: pots in og were for ap, you still get a tonne of ap from the pots .. esp if equip triple growth weapons that room is one of the best for AP farm.

Hi Sega Chief, first of all, thank you for your work, I love it. I wanted to ask you a question. When you defeat the first boss, the scorpion, depending on your skill, the loot you get depends on your skill level. If so, could you tell me how many possible loot drops there are and if there's a spreadsheet to see what each boss drops? Thanks.
 :)

loot does not depend on skill.  random drops are random out maximal 4, between steals and drops. If you steal you wont get the drop steals are usually much more valuable than drops. the url below was in the very first post, which has a steal/drop/morph guide.

Hi Sega Chief,

I signed up for this forum primarily to say thank you for such an awesome mod. One of the best I've played for any game, for sure. I got 40 hours out of a 2.0 Type B playthrough on Hard. I think I did everything other than take out the secret boss in the Hatchery, which seems insurmountable for me at the moment lol. Going to try a full playthrough of 1.5 at some point too, as I remember some bits of that being different as well when I played a bit of it a few years ago.

Do you have plans for anything similar, or do you have any other game projects in general that youre working on?

edit: I only had a single bug. On disc 3 I revisited Costa Del Sol and Aerith was on the beach, able to be talked to, despite the fact that she was no longer in my party. She had similar dialogue to the other characters at that point in the storyline, talking about Meteor.

reagards aerith
Spoiler: show
 you could of chosen to save her via not killing her off in the jenova fight.. dont kill flowergirl = survives have her for rest of game, comes with a very small cost of no ribbon  its the ONLY way to get one in the mod... imo well worth not killing her off
   

if your struggling with 'secret boss' heres some advice
Spoiler: show
dont hit the tentacles... abuse counter attacks, use gospel sparks, use gravity, high dex helps a little..

I'm not Sega Chief but I can answer one of your questions.
3. There is like 6 rounds in total, iirc from my playthrough. The last batch is a group of 6 SOLDIERs, pretty tough. I tried the sequence multiple times trying to get through all of the rounds, and I dont think there was any reward for surviving all of it vs dying earlier. Maybe it changes something later on, but the immediate result wasnt any different and didnt offer any additional rewards.

its same reward regardless if win or lose, does not change anything what-so-ever  later on either. worth it if glutton for punishment :P  you can actually win that with noExp, NoSp Usages, HardMode options as well.
Spoiler: show
abuse likes of slash-all with status effects..... will help a lot, inclusive of likes of flash (then mag/items for dmg) ;) much easier after glenika

7th Heaven / Re: Some mods freeze mid-download

try open the catalog file itself to see where the download is located and download directly from there using browser.
othertimes it appears limitation if particularly busy bandwith/data limitation. should be able from download using browser iro file can continue at least with the google drive links. double clicking on an iro will install it.

1.5 new threat. He downloaded this like last month. Can you please help with the final boss and tell me gimmick or how to deal better damage to safer sephorith.

the quickest way for v1.5 for final bosses run, is witem - startdust startdust  have other party member also with cmd-counter mime to also double use stardust which is the highest dmg pretty much (at least for damage per second) its set dmg that it will do.  glad v2.x doesnt have that complete cheese :D

This is incredibly impressive, massive kudos to you
I'm not too knowledgeable about the limitations of what is possible with ff7 and the technical side, would you be able to expand the world maps? Would we be able to have a scaled up Gaia?
Is it more for texture replacement potential?
could you potentially have more maps?
The features are very impressive

it gives ability to alter the landscape add/remove towns. there are limitations on technical side which most of them are listed if tried to cross that the app will spit out a useful error code to let u know what went wrong.  this editor is for the world map only.

 
fields if your wanting to alter/edit/add/remove  those you would use other tools such as https://github.com/myst6re/makoureactor/releases
you can use landscaper and have script so if at xyz position sends you to a new field that you created.

awesome job on the release can't wait to see what various modders will come up with :) been great to follow along whilst you were working on it https://twitch.tv/m4v3k/ :)

Game crashed the moment I (think) I killed carry armor, using Cid's Hyper Jump limit break. Limit animation played out but right when the dmg numbers were about to appear, game crashed. Is this happening to anyone else?
known bug with og.. something to do with immunity to instant ko. texture buffer flow.  some upscales make the problem show up a little more frequently. anyhow would suggest your careful with that particular limit break against bosses.

I've been playing New Threat 1.5 and can I say, it's way too hard.  It's ridiculous, in fact. 

I've been trying to defeat the Thousand Gunner boss(es!) and this thing is just absurd.  I can hardly get a hit in before I'm attacked, I can barely damage  this boss and I'm getting fed up.

This mod is a chore, not fun and for the first time ever is making me want to quit an FF7 playthrough.

Spoiler: show
morph APS use that item
on the thousand gunner nice quick method for the above boss :)

the area's directly proceeding the a boss, between steals morphs and drops have everything you require for a particular boss don't be afraid to experiment a little with status effects those can be extremely useful.  materia + equipment matters somewhat

Hi! I remember when I played the 1.5 version of NT. It was an awesome and traumatic experience. Now, several years later, I'm playing 2.0 route B hard mode. Since the only problem I'm having for now is money, I have a question:

So far, if I were to play "normal" difficulty in 2.0 B path, how much of a challenge would it be in comparison to that savage 1.5 New Threat?

In case 2.0 normal mode and hard mode are not as difficult as NT 1.5, is there any compatible mod to make it as hard as I remember that version?

Thanks for you work and this great mod!

you can add noexp and do a level6 run if you want to up the 'difficulty' barret and tifa will be lvl7 rest party level6.  I will note that v2 is not really a difficulty mod as such, its more strategic.
gil can be ontained all area's of the game via steals and/or morphs usually morphs being the better (especially against bosses).

You can try postscripthree mod and give the enemies a lvl/hp boost ontop of the above. just dont enable any of the other options which could make for an easier time.

most simular bosses between v1.5 and v2 the v2 counterpart is nerfed somewhat with one exception
Spoiler: show
 the red materia cave battle is actually VERY slightly harder in v2 than v1.5 due to the removal of able to sleep shinryu 


ps SP upgrades - dont bother to use them if want slightly more of a challenge from costa de sol onwards :)

Is there any chance of being able to boost EX/AP by more than 4x and being able to speed up the game more than 4x as well? Thanks.

regards if using ffnx driver can do control+up/right arrow =speedboost  (cant remember if up or right arrow)  control+down/left arrow slower  either up/down or r/l toggles cant remember which off top of head.    if you disable battle swirl makes battles a lot faster so would be higher than 4x. there appears to be a cap on speedboost  'hardcoded' possibily which if speed 5+ could prevent going on ladders/vechiles.


you can compile source yourself and make changes to the source to raise exp by more than 4x. alternatively can use 7th heaven  gameplaytweaks qhimm. enable mod configure > stats  > exp boost mutliplay exp gained.   (that would multiply by whatever you select then again by whatever set to within ff7-ultima eg 10x boost in gameplaytweaks qhimm alongside 4x would then give 40x boost.

I'm doing a playthrough of 2.0-B, and I came back to do yuffie's battle with godo 2, and it's soft locking during the dialogue afterwards. The only non cosmetics mods I have is "Postscriptthree's Gameplay Tweaks"

If it's of any import, I never did the pagoda battles, and it just let go straight to the top this time, which I thought was weird.

the pagoda bosses are missible. think the cut off point is return to midgar.  || you then go back up the pagoda  for leviathan scales which win off the other form of her dadshingoda' || thats normal and would not be the cause of the softlock

its more likely cosmetic mod specifically any field mod which is causing the issue.  i'd try disable those, if still softlocks post your ffnx log file.

7th Heaven / Re: Cannot Download Some Mods Using v3.5.1.0
« on: 2025-01-10 12:17:05 »

- some (quite a few, actually - but not all) of the mods in the 'Browse Catalog' window are refusing to download.

I'm not sure if this is just a server issue
Is there anything I can do to fix it, or any other pertinent information I can provide to help diagnose it?

Thanks.

maybe server reached limit
you can try download mods indivually then import IRO for the timebeing.  for each mod that has issue try search qhimm for that mod and then see if there is a direct download link available.  if there is not check the catalog.xml and you'll be able to figure out the links from the xml data contained within it you should get an error message shown if they dont download via browser.

what you'd be looking for if checking the catalog file:

section  <Link>iros://Url/http$syw.7thheaven.rocks/iros/[Tsunamods].SYW.Unified.Spells.Textures.V1.03.iro.7z</Link>

that would be link: https://syw.7thheaven.rocks/iros/[Tsunamods].SYW.Unified.Spells.Textures.V1.03.iro.7z  you'd then require to extract as that one uses 7zip compress extract then can import the extracted iro file

Hello wdx.

Is this real?

Spoiler: show


if ur meaning did i screenshot that in game, yes.   
Spoiler: show
 think it was removed in a later version due to one of the characters believe in particular "_" not working. it was a link to rar file which contained an img 'bamboozled'.   


there is several possible endings within new threat, very small differences between..

17
anyone got the item placement doc?


sure contains spoilers thou, and is very slightly outdated, just for typeB https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UXnqC_AOEVEUEKx6ABYyzGBJ2a29qA7cS2rdk02nbFo/edit?usp=sharing
 
for new items / materia segachief has placed a file letting u know items. https://mega.nz/file/K10R2Y6b#zfnFICMwLUzi2IQ4-vMCDMiorcg_XSXO7JbAMdKvaIY

considering the change to the story and now Aerith is still in the party, what are her best weapons?
Spoiler: show
 i like to use some cids weapons such as the scimitar (3x growth)

hi guys, another question, the locations t find good chocobos, has it changed? online it says near the farm but they are all trash when i catch the.
any other key differences for catching in this mod?

there is no change where to find each chocobo type. odds still same. Unsure why your looking for a good chocobo.  Great and Wonderful is what usually you'd use to breed.  Icicle tracks + mideel is where those two types could be found.

If your just after a gold chocobo.
Spoiler: show
 try go to kalm and talk to the chap in og that you normally get rewards for turning in weapon drops, he will advise a quick method.  if you do that method it will give  a slow gold, mating that with any other chocobo will result in a fast gold straight after


Good chocobo's are found near gold saucer area if you really want to catch that type.

regarding your prior question if materia lost now. via normal means yes it would be lost. However you can use blackchocobo to add it to your inventory  here is a link to that program: https://github.com/sithlord48/blackchocobo  do not mess around with levels as that will screw with balancing, due to curve changes.

hi guys, hoping someone can help. I'm finding some Materia's missing from the locations listed. it says in txt file an elemental Materia is on Red initial, Red had no materia on my play through with this mod so also missing enemy skill. also Hydro is missing from junion doc.

any ideas what could  be occurring.

this mod is amazing btw really makes it a fresh play through!. thanks for the hard work

other mods being given higher load priority is most likely reason. field mods should be lower in the load order within 7th heaven. 

when you start the mod, there should be item Reactor Bomb or something like that in inventory (kernel check). alongside fire+all should be equipped on cloud.  alongside innate ability details being let known for minimally  cloud + barret.  If typeB Tifa as well.

Place newthreat to the top of your mod list.  You can add enemy skill via blackchocobo saveeditor. Don't play around with levels as that will effect balance.

don't use discord, maybe can someone give the link?

a quick search on this forum if after portable version: https://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19533.0  scroll down a little and click the portable link. its v2.x

FF7 Tools / Re: [PC] Ultima - Real-Time game hacking tool
« on: 2024-12-27 20:33:58 »
Adding items and materia is also something I’m thinking about but not sure exactly what would be more useful: “give me all items/materia” OR “give me a specific item/materia”.

could do a 'core' bit like new threat  :)
eg fire/ice/lightning/wall/cure materias alongside adding a few x-pots/megalixers/ethers, so 2 options "give basics" and 'give all '
imo items not really that useful as if fighting as with your insta battles drops needed superquick to get anyhow :)

anyhow there will be reported bugs likely if giveall is used as some modifications have other item numbers etc above the standard list so would have in readme / help 'og full items' if doing that

23
Oh and another question. Is there any way to cure Zombie?

Update I think I found the issue. I didn't have Cloud as the leader of the party I was running around as Cid. Put Cloud back and didn't crash but an answer about Zombie would help lol

there used to be a method to cure zombie status :) which was goblinsong (was way way way too op cost of 0mp too).

I was able to do the fight with both tifa and cid as party leader (whilst cloud was 'missing in action') through the normal party leader forced tifa/cid as leader.

Spoiler: show

perhaps take out omega first imprisoned only lasts 5atbs or so) so you'd get that party member back and just keep hp topped up.  playing with status effects will also help that battle.

nice to see you've posted your app on qhimm :) been enjoying following your livestream coding of it :)  should note ochu's freeze exp just deals with active party, whilst ur ultima tool deals with out of party :D

still surprised how quick u added that wee feature in many many thanks much <3

not from the offical team, pretty sure in discord can still download a portable version within the 7thheaven channel. check the annoucements "where did everyone go" may have better luck there. I do believe however from v3 onwards there hasnt been a portable version which would help them keep things a lot more streamlined and indeed way easier to bug fix etc
