The model overhaul doesn't seem to work for me. Also, I'm having problems with the keyboard again. This is the second laptop it's happened in. It really sucks, I hate the idea of playing with anything other than a keyboard.

See the first post.

I don't know what part of the first post you want me to read, but I've already reported this problem here once for another notebook. Downloading the ffinput file and putting it in the game's directory didn't help in either case. Frankly, I'd sooner remove it and keep playing the game with the numpad, since that's at least a part of the keyboard, than use a joystick or joypad. The idea of using one of those on a notebook makes no sense to me.

First post tells you read the reunion database before posting bug reports (also a template to post)... something I am repeating on here over and over again.

Additions
ff7.exe N/A Stopped "Normal" controller config from writing to config.cfg. Additionally, the default keys have been changed from being the numpad. DLPB DLPB R06d

The issue is resolved as of R06d. Then we'll see if there are any issues with the fix. I am well aware of the problem and looking into all controller issues also. It takes time.

Also, it's not a problem with Reunion - it's a problem with the original 1998 port.

DBZFan102 · « **Reply #5955 on:** 2020-04-02 23:33:05 »

I gathered as much, since the numpad thing was a problem in that version. I suppose I have to wait for R06d's release, then. Sorry for bothering you.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5956 on:** 2020-04-02 23:42:12 »

R06d should be out today - Friday - anyway

Agravaile · « **Reply #5957 on:** 2020-04-03 00:47:18 »

Oooh, that great news! Anything worth to consider before updating? Will it make any changes to installed mods, or you can simply overwrite it with no fear to ruin something?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5958 on:** 2020-04-03 01:31:34 »

Only BASE folder is deleted and re-added.

Though options.ini will need to be re-edited.

--Note that \The_Reunion\BASE folder is always deleted on install. If you have anything saved there that you need, please backup before running the installer.

Please also read read The Reunion - Help.rtf. For R06e, I'll have made a better tutorial video and created a front end for the options.

I would very much appreciate it if people helped me seed and test the current download

Full download mirrors are also appreciated. But give time for any critical bugs to be detected.

Note:

If your keyboard does not have a numpad / cannot detect the numpad, please delete ff7input.cfg from the root folder prior to loading the game.

Once ff7input.cfg is deleted, the default keys will be:

Up: W
Down: S
Left: A
Right: D
Circle / OK: R
X / Cancel: Space
Triangle / Menu: Left Shift
Square / Switch: Tab
L1 / Scroll up: 1
R1 / Scroll down: 2
L2 / Camera: 3
R2 / Target: 4
Select / Assist: Backspace
Start / Pause: Enter

Please set new keys and controls from the main game's Config submenu (Controls > Customize).

Correction... ff7input.cfg is the name of the file. No idea where I got the name "config.cfg" from... obviously too sane a name for FF7.

I've also changed these defaults for R06e because they're crap and Space conflicts with the naming screen. But it will do for now.

I just checked and Cid is still invisible in Nibelheim's town square, even though the database lists it as fixed:

09.Mar.2020 sylandro New Translation Cid's model will be invisible in the main town square at Niblheim (nivl_3). Fixed as of R06d

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5962 on:** 2020-04-03 06:37:56 »

That was definitely fixed [I'm even looking at the code]. Please post reunion.log

edit. Wow. That serves me right for trusting code and not actually verifying in field. Unbelievable. I have no idea why it's not working....

sylandro · « **Reply #5963 on:** 2020-04-03 06:51:09 »

Here's the files, including my save.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5964 on:** 2020-04-03 06:51:43 »

Ok so that was piss poor of me. Must have been drunk or tired to miss the problem here. That's VERY annoying.

-- Fixed and verified.

There is a certain texture i want to include in my Reuinon folder which is called btl_win_b_l_12, that's an interface texture for the countdown timer, but very nicely upscaled than the original one and the one that is included in reunion menu folder. But the problem is, when i insert it into textures\menu folder, the timer appears correctly, but other UI elements start to appear as black boxes, especially during battles. Been trying a lot of things, but everytime the result appears the same. If i'd have to guess, the UI is missing related to that texture elements, but i don't want to switch from Reunion's UI since it's the only one i like, others just are not my taste and kinda ruins the menu aesthetic. That timer textures was extracted from Avalanche GUI 2.0.8, i think.

So, it there a way to correctly update ONLY the timer texture, or there is no other way than to completely replace the whole interface?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5966 on:** 2020-04-03 17:35:25 »

if the texture includes other graphic elements it's all or nothing. you'd have to create your own custom texture.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5967 on:** 2020-04-03 23:49:24 »

I also suggest you all turn off audio.log from now by setting the value to 0 in options.ini. There's some sort of serious bug here. Perhaps that's what's caused these crashes after battle?

Agravaile · « **Reply #5968 on:** 2020-04-04 00:19:49 »

is it the "Audio_Log_Level = 4" option? I am currently searching trough options.ini and can't find any audio.log options in there.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5969 on:** 2020-04-04 00:24:42 »

Yeah set that to 0.

Did anyone get any crashes at the Speed Square before? Because this will be why.

yup, i learned to make sure i save right before attempting to get through the speed square (if i made it through once, going through a second time without restarting the game was a definite crash), i figured it was the texture/memory issue that everyone is/was having

and kudos on fixing the gun effects, that was killing 60fps battles for me

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5971 on:** 2020-04-04 15:15:21 »

Yeah i think i remember you saying.

Well, logging may actually be the reason people keep crashing randomly too. Never would have believed it. Ironically, I added more logging to locate the problem.

Who logs the log?

the only thing that wasnt working on my controller (selecting a letter/number on the character naming screen) has now been fixed

when naming a character/chocobo, no button on the controller worked to actually select the letters, so i had to reach down and hit the numpad enter... not a big deal unless you are in the process of breeding max stat chocobos (which i am)

so now i dont even have to put the controller down - niiiiiiiiiice
