Ok so last night i tried installing the NPC reconstruction mod. i made a copy of the original char.lgp file. so when i finally gave up i deleted the modded file and put the copy of the original back in the field folder. now however whenever i try to play the game it closes. when i choose new game it says i am missing ACFE.aki file. i uninstalled everything and did a fresh install. still wont work. how can i fix this. and also can where can i get a more detailed manual on how to install the NPC reconstruction update? thanks all
Well if you want a detailed instruction on the NPC Patch id be glad to help =).
1. Make sure you have Lpgtools(found at ficedulas download section).
2. Use Lpgtools to open char.lpg and then once this is done, go to extract all, go to Program Files\Squaresoft Inc\FF7\data\field and make a new folder in there called char, you can do this before or after you select the extract all option. Alot of files huh?
3. Get yourself a nice beverage, maybe a bag of chips and wait.
4. Once this is done the folder should be 46.1 in size. Note: the slightest thing will cause Lpgtools to stop responding, so if your antivirus pops up to tell you they found no threats try not to get angry(happened to me >.>)
5. Nows the fun part, open your NPC Recon, and make sure you run it as administrator, hit next, then wait until it gives you the ok, start the patch, and then...
6. Take a nap, or get in touch with your feminine side, whatever it takes to kill abput 15-30 mins!.
7. Now this part sounds tricky, but its very easy ^^. Now open Lgptools again, and click where it says create, you get a warning, clinch your cross, star of david, whatever and click ok, now go to this: Program Files\Squaresoft Inc\FFVII\Data\Field\char(dont delete this yet), now where it says Save, type in char.lpg and hit save. Now your Lpg tools will freeze for a bit but dont worry its creating the file
. You'll know its done when the create button looks untouched, while the file is being created, the create button will look as if you just clicked on it. After rename your old char.lpg something like char.bakup, and your new one just char. delete the folder you named char(not the one you just created) or save it just in case.
Some errors:
While running the patch it may say something like this Squaresoft Inc\FfVII\Data\Wm\World.us(whatever its called
) is unknown version, dont panic, simply exit the patcher, and move this file to another location, i moved mine to a file i named Hideout
. If you get this error and have moved this file, open lpgtools go to data, and check to see if your wm file still exists there, if it does delete it, your patcher shouldn't pick it up after then.
if you want help with the Sephiroth Patch also I'll help you also =P. I hope this helps bro, good luck!
