7th Heaven / Sound stop playing during FMVs

« on: 2021-03-14 23:26:38 »

Hello!

My audio cuts during FMVs and doesn't come back unless I restart the game. The sound works fine most of the time but as soon as a FMV start it stops and doesn't come back unless I restart the game or enter a battle. Here is a short 50 second video showcasing the issue. https://youtu.be/x1HM1zUd3yw

As you can see the sound work fine before I get to the cutscene then stop playing a few seconds in and doesn't come back at all (no music, no menu sound, nothing). This is not the first time, it happened after most cutscenes.

I disabled all mods before running the game to record this video so it would seem the problem is caused by 7H. I'm using 7H 2.2.3.522

Thanks for the help, I can provide any information you might need to investigate the issue.

The Midgar part is a bit more drastically different than the rest of it is on Type B, so you'll pretty much have all the story events going forward.

Sweet thank you! I'll keep going then :p
Also is there a missable item guide that you're aware off? I couldn't find one.
I've left a small donation for your hard work. Wishing you all the best.

Hello! First of all thank you for the mod, I hadn't played FF7 for at least a decade and it's a blast to have enhanced difficulty as I recall the vanilla game to be pretty easy. With the limited options you have early the game was quite challenging up to now (not hard, but definitely challenging). I am amazed by what the modding community has done with this game and you guys have my utmost respect for the work you're doing out of passion for this game we all love.

I have done several vanilla playthrough already so I went for option B to experience the story with a few twists and MORE BOSSES (YAY!). So far I am at the very beginning, I just finished the Midgar section a few minutes ago and had to take a break to come here for information.
 
I am pretty concerned by one thing, it seems a huge part of Midgar was just... cut?
I never had to enter the Honey Bee and do the whole crossdressing thing which I remember was quite funny. Instead I just had to fight a couple of easy monsters to get to Don Corneo. I never had the plot part where Shinra wants to drop the plate onto section 7 instead we just head on straight to the Shinra HQ.
It's been a long time I haven't played the game so I don't remember every part in detail but I'm certain a big part of content got cut there. Also there was the mayor riddle for the pass in the Shinra HQ that just had "BEST" as every possible answer, not just an option to skip it for the best result, it was the ONLY option possible (I can appreciate having the option to skip it but it was just weird not having the choice of doing it the legit way)

As I understand it the option B is supposed to change some story events and I was very happy with it. I was actually excited to see what you would come up with but now i'm just afraid that i'm playing a "speedrun" version with less story but more bosses.
It is great to have more bosses as hunting all the weapons was my favorite part of late game FF7 and I love a long, strategic boss battle. (BTW what's the deal with the meca one shooting your party in Shinra HQ, are you actually supposed to beat that thing?)

Anyway before going further into the game and with the least spoilers as possible I would like to know if I only have to expect cut story content from NT type B or if it actually CHANGE the way the story unfold. If it is the former I am going to have to restart a type A playthrough. Too bad for the extra bosses (Seriously a bummer, I was looking forward to fighting new bosses) but I was expecting more/different content, not less from reading the in game description at the start.

I want to apologize if my comment feel too critical or anything. That is not my intention. I understand that everyone is not looking for the same things in games and it's a good thing. It's just that, for me, the story is the most critical part of a Final Fantasy game and I started playing NT expecting a twist on the game, not a shorter version of it. Now I'm just worried I wasted 4 hours playing the speedrun version of the game instead of just starting a regular type A playthrough.
