7th Heaven / Re: Re: [FF7] Tifa's Final Heaven - 7th Heaven Mod Tutorial

no i didnt have sound. and i even launched the game straight from the ff7.exe instead of 7th heaven and it still had the same problem, along with the same mod image, so i think ultimately i might've goofed and my install got corrupted somehow.

oh yeah i forgot theres music there. i usually skip it so i forgot xD

and nope. dont have a full keyboard so no numlock. i wish thats all it was lol. if it doesnt work tonight ill just have to try a controller in the morning.

EDIT: some potentially helpful information. i had a thought and tried to change the start menu mod to a different start menu, and when i pulled the game up again, not only did i have the same arrow keys not working issue, but the start menu didnt change.

going from there i closed the game, deactivated the 'Menus- Backgrounds, Avatars' mod entirely, restarted 7th heaven, confirmed it was not active, then launched the game.

still the same modded picture, still same problem. also just tried running the game without the mod manager, and the same problem happens. i think ill start with redoing the install in the morning.

so i think something there screwed up. unfortunately from there i dont know how to fix it.

So does that mean all your other issues are fixed including your sound working?

I'll assume you are playing this on a PC? I use a controller so my help here will be limited but I know if I have a controller plugged in my arrow keys don't work.

Also ran you ran the GameConverter did you say Yes or N to the keyboard numpad question?

well since i cant get past the new game menu i dont know for sure yet. i did everything specified though so hopefully. and yes when i ran the converter i said yes to the numpad patch thing.

it WAS working. basically i ran the game, worked fine (minus the other issues i needed to fix) then i turned it off, came back 10 minutes later to actually play it, and suddenly the arrow keys wouldnt work.

and this started before i fixed the other stuff. there was literally no change between the last time it worked and the first time it didnt. and looking in the app.log it doesnt say anything useful. it shows the menu come up, then it shows me closing the game, says menu end and then the game closed. i mean if it will fix this i can plug a ps3 or 4 controller into my laptop but i'd rather play with keyboard if i can. maybe in the morning i can try the controller, then get into the train station and try to change my config and see what happens.

thanks for the reply

ok i fixed the load order.

fixed the silly data/music

i forgot to put that i already fixed the \mods\textures pathing. it was because i used the bootleg one originally so it didnt create a textures folder.

i made an imgur link for my open gl settings: http://imgur.com/uuygmKs


only other thing im having an issue with now was in my last edit: the arrow keys suddenly not working when i get to the new game/continue? menu. it recognizes my input when i press enter to skip the eidos/square/credits but after that nothing, so i cant tell if its suddenly freezing there or if my input isnt working.

I want to start this by saying, you rock. i havent been on this site in years for FF7 modding and cannot be happier with what you've accomplished with this program. so. you rock. just sayin.

anyway, to the meat of the issue. I am and am not having a problem.

I followed the instructions, setup my paths in 7H settings, downloaded/activated mods,etc. and..... none of them seem to be working after i start the game. on the upside i do have music! yay since a lot of people seem to not have music play.

so basically what IS happening: game loads up like normal. i THINK the field textures after jumping off the train are sharper so that one MAY be working, didnt get too far in to check other things, and the soldiers, along with avalanche, barret, and cloud, are full-size models instead of lego people or chibis. so thats happening. but they're not the custom models i selected. also the text is squished up. like its riding up alongside each letter making it difficult to read. getting into a battle it looks like the cloud model and buster sword model i selected is working, but the enemy soldiers are vanilla, the background is vanilla, and near the characters' status bar im getting a bunch of weird glitchy looking things (left and right arrows, a red eye thing of some sort, squares of colored pixels, etc.) and along with that the menu overhaul isnt seeming to be working. tried to take a screenshot in game but im on a laptop w/o a numpad and it wouldnt let me do the fN key shortcut to prtscrn.

i have imgur links to my mod list and my 7H path settings:

mod load order: http://imgur.com/71mOZzZ

7th Heaven path settings: http://imgur.com/0F8YuMf


if you want me to put up anything else just let me know. or if my load order is whack or something. just hoping to get this running soon and satisfying my ff7 itch

**EDIT** so i was reading through some other replies and i dont know if its the source of all my problems but i just realized one big eff up i did. i didnt know the game converter was different between this and bootleg. i started earlier today trying to get bootleg, got tired of waiting hours for the torrent, and decided this looked easier. so im going to try nuking my ff7 folder and using the CORRECT game converter and see if this fixes my issues.

**EDIT #2** ok so i fixed my goof and did it using the correct game converter and now it seems that most of the mods are working. whats happening now though is that now im not getting music, but looking at some other comments i think i see what i need to do to fix that. also the game is now running really slow. reaaaaaaaaaally slow. and there was a blip that popped up after i started and proceeded to the next area to speak to the avalanche members that said something like glitch with blahblah path name field textures.

**EDIT 3** well i tinkered around and now its not running nearly as slow, but still having issues with field textures. and now weirdly when i just decided to open the launcher again, after not changing anything, my arrow keys wouldnt work all of a sudden. it would accept my ENTER to skip the eidos and square logos, but when it got to New Game/Continue? screen, i couldnt select anything. arrow keys wont work and now when i pressed enter on the default option (continue?) its supposed to give an error beep since there is no save file, but this time it didnt. i dont know if maybe its just freezing on that screen?

*sigh* now i screwed up worse.

when i re-installed it (i messed up replacing the acfe file) right when i hit 'finish' to restart the computer and activate it, i realized i forgot to remove the disc first...and now the files, corrupted, cuz anytime i try to load the disc, all it does is browse whats inside the disc, and when i try to look thru it , it says that the file is corrupted. do you think you could send me a clean install file if possible? i'd really appreciate it

ok i reinstalled ff7, then installed (in this order)
-Aali's custom driver
-FF7 v1.02 patch
-Advent Avatars patch
worked fine up until there ^^.
then i ran the NPC RP patcher, and after i clicked new game, a message popped up saying: "Failed to load ACFE.aki"

then created the crash file.
and now i finally have something in the app.log so ill post it here

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

lol ok now i feel dumb

hmm.. well if this works maybe ill try it out ^_^.

ill go try what you suggested and see if it works.

EDIT: gahhh!! still didnt work

i replaced char.lgp with the 00.lgp and the world_us.lgp with the 01.lgp

and still as soon as i get hit it crashes.

should i maybe go back to the original NPC RP version and see if it does the same thing?

umm.. nope was i supposed to rename them?

and what do you mean proper names?

yeah i didnt change the music at all.

soo i shouldnt go through PRP.exe? but then it doesnt use the updated stuff?

so what should i name the 00 and 01 lgp files?

ok ill try that.

as for the driver. im assuming its right since the graphics did improve greatly but ok ill try reinstalling and see if it helps

(good lord im gettin tired of installing this lol this is like the 5th time )



EDIT: yep its the PRP that messed it up

i ran it as soon as i installed it and did the fight. i won (leveled up woot!) and it continued onto the next screen with no crash so i exited.
then i installed the PRP and ran it and voila, it crashed as soon as i got hit by the enemy.
any ideas? should i probably just try the NPC RP again instead? or am i just kinda screwed lol.

in the field folder.

of course now i've run into a new problem....again -_-. geez im having some real issues with this game lol.

i reinstalled and it seemed to work good (all i did was click new game and saw the beginning of that space scene and shut it off) ran the Phoenix Rejuv. Project patch and aalis graphic driver

and it looked great...until the first fight. i ran it twice to see if maybe it just glitched, but heres what happened:

fight started like normal, wait gauge filled i attack nothing wrong.

as soon as i take damage and the number showing how much damage shows, it goes black (music still playing) and then showed that standard MS error report thing saying: FF7 has encountered a problem and needs to close. im sure you know the window im talking about

i've looked around on here and saw somewhat similar problems, but nothing like this. could it maybe be something in my battle folder?
since it will keep running until i take any kind of damage, whether its their machine gun or that melee attack.

sorry for coming bak again and again with problems and thanx for you guys bein patient

yeah i did

made the "char" folder.

used the lgp tools to extract into the folder.

applied the patch, let it run until done

created new char.lgp (renamed the old one charbackup.lgp)

and got rid of the folder.

did i do something wrong? i tried to follow it according to the readme and somebody's post on here.

ok well i reinstalled and dont have that file problem anymore....

now it just wont run.

when i go to the folder its saved in (on my hard drive with the standard directore C:\Program Files\Square Soft\Final Fantasy VII\)

i try clicking on the ff7.exe file, suddenly the screen goes dark as if its loading, then suddenly it just leaves and im back on my desktop   
i even tried my backup folder and it wouldnt run.
i tried it before modding and it worked great.
ran the avatar changer, checked, still worked fine.

but after i ran the NPC RP mod, now it does what i mentioned above.

any ideas?

i know i edited it after i saw it again it was ACFE.aki file.

oh well im reinstalling it right now its about 89 percent done so ill just wait and try again. i might've accidentally deleted something when i was patching and modding i guess. ill try it again then post if it does it again.

i ran some patches and, after bringing up the New Game or Continue options, and hitting New Game, the screen flashes some message like

and the patches i've run are:
