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

[Gaarnet]

Hey, I m new here.
I tried downloading the latest The Reunion version, and i installed it on a clean Steam instal of FFVII.
After the installation The Reunion folder is present and it even lets me switch form windowed mode to fullscreen mode from the Options Configuration File. The problem is that nothing changes the games is still "vanilla" looking.
Just let me know if i did something wrong (even tho the installation process seems kinda strighforward) im still new, thanks for the help.

If it's a bug with The Reunion, post here.  If it isn't, post to the main bug thread.  Always verify.  The WM mod works perfectly.

Why does it need mapping twice?  Surely a controller should just needmapping only in ff7? 

In the case of the Steam Controller, at least, the bindings set in Steam are what gets sent on to the game. So in my case, my controller sends a "numpad enter" to the game when I press the B button (which would be the O button if this were a PS controller). The controller doesn't send any xinput/directinput of its own; everything goes through the Steam mappings.

The default button settings for controller  should probably be "none" for all.  I'd suggest everyone remaps the controller buttons in  FF7's submenu as well and see if that helps.

I'm not sure how to remap the buttons to "none". There doesn't seem to be any way in-game to clear the bindings.

I've also had another idea what might be causing this.  The default button settings for controller  should probably be "none" for all.  I'd suggest everyone remaps the controller buttons in  FF7's submenu as well and see if that helps.

having it unchecked doesnt mean its off, i actually dont think you can even make steam do nothing with the controller for a game ran through it (this is only happening to steam users, right?)

having it checked just means steam now knows what controller you have, and it also now ignores the button mapping from the game, without it checked you cannot get the dpad to work in reunion for example, not having it checked it also what caused my OK to register twice - but if you have your controller checked and button map to the keyboard equivalents everything works flawlessly

i think without anything checked some sort of default controller configuration is used and you can button map all you want, some things will be different buttons, some things wont work at all (not to mention things from the game's config are registering at the same time)

if you are using xpadder or joy2key or whatever you should actually have your controller checkmarked in steam and have every button mapped blank

In the Steam UI where you configure the mappings, there's an option for NONE.

Like this

so what's best solution? reunion doesn't use steam so how's it affecting game?  is it a case of setting steam controller to none?  if so, is that for ff7 alone?

[Agravaile]

I have an a bug that's preventing me from progressing in the game.
1. An explanation of the bug
The game crashes while transitioning from entering Nibelheim from the world map or transitioning from one of the buildings in Nibelheim to the town center. In the story, this is the second time you visit the area. The game crashes while game's transition screen is black. I assume it's Reunion bug as popup comes up saying I should report the bug to here. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game but the same bug is there.
2. Does the bug happen at same point more than once?
Yes. It's been happening every time I enter the area to the point that I cannot progress in the game.
3. 4. 5. 6.
Everything should be here plus a screenshot of the error message when I turn some of logging on.

Anyway I'm running the steam version on windows 10.

Check reunion database on the first page of the tread, this issue is well known and is currently being fixed. You have to wait until the next update for it to be fixed. To get past that point, disable New Translation option in options.ini, get through, and enable it again.

In my case, I use Steam to provide keyboard-emulation for FF7, so I can use my XBox controller.  [I've configured FF7 as a Non-Steam application so Steam can launch it for me] I don't have any other games that I use this functionality for.  I have the d-pad and buttons configured for Keyboard actions, and both sticks set to NONE.

Hi there. I've been looking forward to install this mod, but I can't find the download button in page one, it just says that "Mirror is []Not available at moment[/url] ". Is there any other way to download the mod, or where to get it, or any other way?

[lucidusatra]

Hi, I'm having an issue with the installer. When I get to the screen where it asks me to select which components to install, I'm only given the option to install the retranslation mod. The other mods (like the improved character models, the menu overhaul, etc) are not included at all. I'm using the R06d installer provided here. Any ideas?

[Luigi Brosse]

If you click just above, on the "here", you are brought to a post in which there is the link to a torrent for downloading. Just checked it right now and it is working.

[paraemuladores]

Perfect! Downloading right now. Thanks a lot!!!

I'm beginning to suspect that the flickering help window isn't a Steam Controller issue after all. I've just tried starting up the game with no controllers connected whatsoever, deleting ff7input.cfg, and only using the default R06d controls (WASD movement, R to select, etc). The flickering help window still occurs in battles, and pressing Backspace doesn't turn it off.

why are your controls all different than default reunion?  numpad 7 turns help on/off for me, and numpad 2,4,6,8 moves

but yeah the steam controller thing is just a guess, its hard to diagnose a problem that you cant replicate yourself

Seriously thank you. I did skim the database and saw the part where it says Cid can be invisible in that area but I must of miss the part of where that also causes crashing. But still I wouldn't figure out to just turn off the new translation to get by that section. Thank you again.

because he deleted ff7input. see the help file.

Honestly,  I have no idea what's causing that  issue but first stop is to go into ff7 submenu and make sure every key and control is set manually again.  See what happens.  The steam setting shouldn't be able to do anything because reunion doesn't use steam code at all.

ahh, i see

steam ALWAYS gets a few hooks into the game when launched through it (steam overlay and controller mapping)
it even does this with non-steam games launched through it if you choose to do so

i'm starting to doubt the controller thing is the problem as well, but the people that reported the problem aren't trying the suggested solutions and reporting back 

In my case, I use Steam to provide keyboard-emulation for FF7, so I can use my XBox controller.  [I've configured FF7 as a Non-Steam application so Steam can launch it for me] I don't have any other games that I use this functionality for.  I have the d-pad and buttons configured for Keyboard actions, and both sticks set to NONE.

this is almost exactly what i do, and it does indeed work with r06d

the only difference is i dont have ff7 configured as non-steam game, and also before i checkmarked the option in my screenshot on the previous page, the dpad wouldnt work and the OK button would register twice

but i just left FF7 in the steam folder and in the steam library like normal and everything works like it should

so what's best solution? reunion doesn't use steam so how's it affecting game?  is it a case of setting steam controller to none?  if so, is that for ff7 alone?

you can edit settings and have different controller mappings for each game, so yes, you can set all steam buttons to do nothing and ONLY do this for FF7 if you want

IMO the solution i provided is the best, map with steam and ignore everything from the game and reunion - this will make sure you arent getting interference between controller mappers

but you could also go into steam and make all buttons none for ff7 and just use the game mapper

Hi. I'm not reporting this as a bug, because I'm pretty sure I am doing something wrong, just can't figure out what. I have the Steam version of FF VII, so I first applied the FFconverter, then installed (as an administrator) The Reunion mod. The problem is, the game only runs in 640x480, windowed mod, and I can't see where or how to edit the mod's options. I started the game with an earlier save, and it loads perfectly, but without any mods. I tried running RunFFVIIConfig.bat, but it says that it doesn't work in 64 bits. I also tried RunFFVIIConfig.exe and FFConfig.exe, but those two doesn't have anything related to the mods, nor they allow me to change anything that seems relevant to them. What am I missing? Also, how can I edit the mods preferences?

find your reunion folder and change the resolution in options.ini

you probably just need to change the full screen option to y instead of n

[skyhawk]

I have the Steam version of FF VII, so I first applied the FFconverter, then installed (as an administrator) The Reunion mod.

Reunion works natively and directly with the Steam release of FF7. DO NOT apply any converter. Install Reunion directly into the Steam installation of FF7.

To correct your current situation, Uninstall and delete the game folder, then re-install from Steam, then install Reunion.

Disclaimer: I own the 1998 CD release, so this is not first-hand knowledge.

[DLPB_]

if this issue is always by steam version then clearly it is indeed hooking  some control onto it which is breaking thw game.   fortunately we can rule that out.  download 1998 1.02 executable.  it was a released patch.  place in root folder and use that instead of steam launcher.  then we'll know.  if anyone is up for testing this but doesn't know how, message me on discord

I uninstalled the game and deleted everything, reinstalled it, and then reinstalled The Reunion. The game shows with upgraded graphics and models, but it only shows the game in a 640x480 window. I tried to modify this by editing the Options.ini of The Reunion by saying yes to fullscreen. But, when I go to fullscreen, it puts the entire screen in 640x480, and the game is minized, you can hear the intro of Eidos for a few seconds, then it stops. If I close the game from the quicklaunch bar, the desktop returns to 1920 x 1080. Anything else I can try?

make sure these settings in options.ini are identical to this:

full_screen = y
window_x = 0
window_y = 0
window_width = 1920
window_height = 1080
preserve_aspect = y

I did this, and the flickering help window still appears.
