[FF7PC-98/Steam] Multiple mods and Modding Framework-The Reunion [R06f]

[Devina]

Reunion saves are compatible with vanilla.

Vanilla save location: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VII\
Reunion save location: save folder in game's root directory

You just have to copy and paste them over.

Whatever you did, DLPB, everything seems to be working correctly again. The battle textures for me are once again loading in. I played for about an hour and haven't noticed any issues. Again, thanks for your hard work.

Thank you! By moving the save to the right place and disabling The Reunion, the scene progressed as it was supposed to.

Here's the save file prior to the hangup (you have to beat Demon's Gate first to get to the part that gets stuck) if it's of any help. Please say if there's some other information that could help.

Model overhaul isn't enabled by default, so even modifying Options.ini isn't necessary.

Hello and thank you for this great set of mods. I've had a wonderful time playing the game for the first time in over 20 years, breezing through most of CD1.

Near the end of CD1, though, in the Temple of the Ancients I've encountered a weird bug where the game gets stuck in some sort of a loop at the point where Cait Sith is reading fortunes.

I have no idea if this could be caused by Reunion or something else; I'd appreciate any tips on what might help. I've tried disabling the translation / model overhaul / 60fps battles, but the hangup is unaffected. I can't try with another set of characters because like an idiot I only kept one save.

I have R06c with hotfix 11 and the Remako mod.

Sorry if this is unrelated to The Reunion in some obvious way!

I just passed this point with hotfix 11 and it played out ok for me.

Did anyone get an annoying text that wouldnt go away when exploring Cloud's mind at Midhir?  Just before FMV in to Tifa's room.

Firing blind here, but what was your party for the Temple? I had Tifa as the third character, and her animation in that scene seemed to behave differently from how it did with Reunion disabled. Just wondering if it's related.

Cloud, Red XIII and Aeris i think.

I happen to have kept a save right before the fight with the weapon that leads into the lifestream sequence, because in one of the hotfixes, it kept jumping straight from that fight to the Highwind scene that was supposed to happen *after* the lifestream, but didn't actually get a full bug report written up.  Worked completely fine for me today, trying to run through it again, so I'll post the save for you to give it a shot and see if the text issue persists.

Try save 1, just outside Midhir.

it could be.  I did alter that field to allow for translation to work properly for cait.

No crashes or crazy textures yet?

In that scene theres a dialogue box glitch.


Same thing happens back in gold saucer when he reveals he's a traitor.


Some sort of typo in this scene.

No crashes or crazy textures yet?

Played a pretty large chunk of the game today and had no crashes, with interpolated animations and battle/field/world textures. One thing i noticed in hotfix10 is that barrett's gun effects were working but in hotfix11 they started disappearing again like in previous versions.

[DLPB_]

oh ffs. I forgot to remove formatting messages for myself.  That <<c is for covarr!  Holy potato.
I'll need to get R06d out pronto.

[DLPB_]

@tom servo
Odds are you selected fixed width names option and then have characters with the wrong name. 
Then again, I haven't edited the ff7 exe text either.

Basically Cait Sith needs to be called Cait and Aeris Aerith for boxes to fit right with that option,.  You can use Ochu to repair.  or Black Chocobo.

Cait
Barrett
Aerith
Red / Nanaki

With that option.  I'll fix it properly soon.

[tom servo]

Yes my installation options were Incorrect character names/incorrect place names/series canon/fixed length character names.

[JWK]

Welp, just had my first Hotfix 11 crash.

Crash occurred after ~90 min of exp grinding in the Airship, Laboratory zone (sunken airship).

No crash.dmp file was generated, nor did any error message pop up - the window simply closed suddenly after exiting a battle.

Relevant saved game, app.log and reunion.log here:

Most recent save is "Save file 02," Time: 49:46.

Played for about 3:30 hours, lots of high speed grinding, textures are fine and no fanfare glitch. That's the most stable hotfix yet for me.

Unrelated: in Shinra Mansion's basement, when you go to collect Vincent, the music there is supposed to keep on playing during random battles in the area, but it's getting muted during the battles.

It isn't, actually. It's supposed to play the battle theme just as normal, but on PC the AKAO frame for that field (fields?) is broken and that's why in vanilla it doesn't play. The audio replacement probably just has a different fallback method for such an error, it being to cut the music out.

Sorry to don't bring any files, just want to point out that a friend of mine was doing a run and had the excat same issue but after the Rufus fight when he leaves.

Oh. Bloody hell. Btw I got several times the spiral audio broken (before entering a battle) and the "receveid item" audio not fully played, sometimes not played at all. I will try my best to get some report/files to support if it isn't already fixed.

[DLPB_]

i'll have to investigate the Vincent basement issue.

The issue with sounds not playing is likely related to audio hardware and buffering and I'll need to raise with creator of bass.dll.  Please can you try with and without the SFX memory option in Options.ini?

[DLPB_]

There is also clearly an issue after battle.  For some people it's just dying immediately. 

[Kuraudo.]

I tried the new function to skip cutscene/movies: at the first FMV while doing that the music doesn't start, it does only after first battle. Then you swap map and come back on the first map and you are able to get another Potion from the same soldier (btw they share erroneously the same model of the train guard.)

Seems working so far with sfx memory off, will update.

Also, I know it's already mentioned in reunion database, but jeez the model polygon going over the battle menu it is annyoing.

[DLPB_]

Normal.  This is because FMV sets music.  But I can sort it and will be doing.

Also, I know it's already mentioned in reunion database,

Then don't re-mention it as that annoys me

hen you swap map and come back on the first map and you are able to get another Potion from the same soldier (btw they share erroneously the same model of the train guard.)

Not sure what you mean about train guard but the dupe issue with items is not  a reunion bug and is already fixed with new translation.  Again, always check that issues are reunion or not and always check field script errors in database.

[Kuraudo.]

With New translation ON I'm getting the double potion.

For Train Guard model (field) vs Captain Shinra Soldier (field)

[DLPB_]

I don't understand.  How are those 2 places related? 

[Estelyen]

I just installed FF7 (Steam version) + Reunion on my laptop so I could play the game more often, when I'm on the road for my job. I copied all the modded files as well as the Reunion folder from my PC (where everything works fine), then I simply made some adjustments for the resolution (since my crappy old laptop can't do higher than 1366x768).

In the game launcher, I can set keyboard button assignments just fine, but when I launch the game, it does not react to any key input, just playing the credits into infinity... I tried disabling Reunion in the options.ini and that makes the game recognize my input, so it seems to be a Reunion issue.

I remember from back in the day that in 7th Heaven there used to be some sort of Laptop patch that was required when you tried to play the game on a laptop without a numpad (which mine does indeed not have). Is that still a thing and will it work with Reunion? If not, can anything else be done to make the game work with Reunion on my laptop?
