Sounds good . Take your time, dont push yourself or you will end up taking even longer on it. I will be around to test out this awesome new release as soon as it is available.

Thanks for all the hard effort!

I Laughed pretty hard when I came back and saw the "That is NOT related to this mod. Please read first post." changed to over and over again xD.

Did you re-download it? Does it pop up with anything at all or just "double click, hourglass...." then nothing? This is a windows related issue as far as I can tell but might also be a virus. If its installing then you check the installed folder and its empty then there's someting else completely going on.

Update drivers, do windows updates. check task manager to see if anything bad is running. that's all I can think of *shrug* You need PC help.

PS@DLPB. THAT sounds awesome.

DarkFang- Try to install something else and see if you have the same issue. If not make sure you actually don't have a virus that's stopping you from activating random things. If that doesn't work then assure to disable your Antivirus and firewall, make sure you have admin privileges and then re-download M003 WITH ANTIVIRUS OFF, some of these Antivirus programs have a way to completely break .exe downloads but keep them on your pc. they just dont do anything. Re-install FF7 without any mods, then install the .02 patch. After doing so Install the latest Aali driver. Then test the game to make sure its running clean on your pc with no issues. After doing so attempt to start the installer once more.

If this doesnt fix the issue or show you what the issue is then its most likely Windows installer having issues. Windows installer is hard to repair and usually results in a full system restore. Good Luck.

Its not M003.

Oddly enough I tried just the cache at first. Actually I attempted restoring from backup as well. Even unpatching FF7.exe but that all failed to remove the bug of only showing Felix's graphics. That and I was having the same scrolling text alignment issue that was present in M002.

Thus I used my own personal backup of all the system files and then re-installed the M003 mod. That cleared out all the issues. I am really not sure what happened to cause such an odd thing but its gone now. Basically "try it on a clean installation" or "try re-installing FF7" would fix it for anyone in the future with the issue. That and clearing cache.

Haha Okay so. I was having the damn'est time figuring out the differences between Felix's graphics and the original so I figured there was a bug. I was right, I restored ff7 to the original settings via the backup option then clicked on the FF7Config again to assure its set to use the custom driver. Then cleared the cache once more. After that I installed M003 once more with the original graphics and took a look at the materia...Huuuge difference, so yes I am very happy to get this working lol. Anyhow back to the game.

^ Yeah. Dont use the remix. As well as making sure you have the .02 patch.

PS- Hey DLPB could we get a comparison of the differences between the "original menu overhaul graphics" and Felix's "tweaked" ones?

I have tried both and it must be very subtle because I cannot tell. I need screens to assure that there is no bug present.

Everything else is running smoothly ^^.

Also personal opinions everybody, do you believe it would mess anything up to use the "save anywhere" code? I believe it could be very useful for me but I am afraid itll put me in a bad situation lol. Any comments?

I am having a bigger issue now. Seems all but the inner color of the bars in battle are fully transparent now lol. I will attempt to test some things before posting a screenshot.


EDIT> Ok so I cleared the cache and it fixed the issue. Atleast I didnt have to re-install FF7.

M003 HAS REPAIRED THE GRAPHICAL ANOMALY WITH THE FFX INTERFACE.

thank you.

No idea about the spelling errors but I am glad to hear about the finalization. If there is any other way I could help let me know. Also I will test out if the graphical anomaly with the FF10 interface that me and the other guy pointed out was fixed with this release as soon as possible for your peace of mind.

The resolution is quite standard now n days. I also use mine with preserve aspect ratio on. It really doesn't bother me enough I just like to find out the cause of problems so I at least understand them. I like to understand everything, its a bad habit. I have attempted all other possible lower resolutions with the exact same results. I will attempt to change my actual laptops resolution and post the results to figure out where this bug lies.

So I believe it is a shadowing issue, or transparency issue. If you look REALLY closely you will the the lines at the end of the bars fade out to lighter and lighter density before becoming transparent.

....Resuuuults....

Changing resolution on my laptop did nothing for it. It is most likely a transparency issue.

the actually M200 works fine for me.
Resolution

window_size_x = 1366
window_size_y = 768
preserve_aspect = no
fullscreen = yes

really nice work *thumbs up

and here are some screenshots [snip]

So, It does work fine but it isnt actually working perfectly xD You have the same alignment issue that I do. Same resolution as well. I am re-posting your screenshot with a circle around the alignment issue.

PS. I understand after the new layout gets released nobody will care about FF10 layout but it would be nice to have the choice of it working correctly. I realize how minute it is but I think of myself in the creators shoes and its something I would not want in my mod.

Well here is the screenshot.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8138611/FF7-Magenta.jpg

Its two cuts, one with a Magenta lining for where the issue is seeing as its 1 pixel in width. I feel silly for bringing this up again.


EDIT-Is that the original RO or a Private server?

Na its not that bad actually, its not very concentrated so it goes down smoothly and doesnt kick in all at once. Just gives you a slow gentle buzz. I also made one of these for my friend and it was really smooth.

So A bit off-topic but you made me get back into Final Fantasy so much I decided to finally make this~

http://www.thedrunkenmoogle.com/post/2978887753/phoenix-down-final-fantasy-cocktail

I just got finished drinking it, it cost a lot for the materials but I bought so much I can make like 99 Phoenix Down now. (no joke).

Just wanted to thank you for the push back into the series, its been sort of dead to me for a while now because well it just hasnt been the same. I needed to go back to old-school but with a cleaner interface and this really did the job. Thank you.

I would make you a drink, but I think you are a bit too far away for that. This thing will mess you up though.

far end of the lower bars. There is an extra line of black for the last quarter of the bar on the top of the bar.

So I have come across a very small alignment problem and are not sure if it is an issue with something I did. I did install 002a over 001 but I heard there shouldn't be an issue with that. I tried using the uninstaller to go back to the original then install 002a again but that did not work either. Then I attempted to clear the cache and that helped a lot but its still slightly off.

here is a screenshot.

PS> Also About the HP and MP bars. I am glad you took it up as such a project. I very well do love it, the following is my favorite so far.

This one looks a lot more stylish and goes well with the design.

About the Barriers I agree Icons are the way to go.

I am still loving your Mod. I am very glad to see you are still adding features.

I noticed people wondering about adding 9999/9999 and the such and I can see how that would cripple the interface but I was sort of hoping for a HP bar of some sort. I am completely used to going by a bar instead of numbers. I personally could even go without the numbers but that would be silly.

I have a hard time remembering what my total hp is so I know when its getting low. I realize they have orange and red text as they get lower yet I guess it was just a bad habbit to always go by % if you know what I mean. Like monsters would take "this much" of my bar. Instead of "this number" of damage. I will learn to read the new HP properly but I did want to know if you were thinking about maybe adding an option for the hp Bar. Hell I could do without a Limit bar and replace it with HP lol.

Anyway I am running the latest release and its working perfectly. Thanks again. Take care.

DLPB, your Mod is working perfectly (other than the already stated scrolling text issue.) I suggest just updating the "things not to do" and make sure to make it clear whats necessary to run the mod then just only reply to people with issues not related to listed things.

If there is an issue after installation over a clean installed FF7 with the 1.02 and the latest Aali custom driver than its most likely an issue with the computer. You might add a note to update graphics drivers? Also might want to add in the recommended resolution if one has an issue (the one you posted to me) Even know I didnt use it because I didnt need it. Iuno.
