[FF7PC-98/Steam] New Threat Mod (v2.0.999992)

[Murtor]

Hello there. I'm currently playing the New Threat Mod for the second time and ran into a little problem: Each and every time I start the mod my sound settings and my Gamepad settings are set back to default. Is there a quick way to fix that?

Also something strange: The Osmose Spell in my game is called Death. Not really bugging me, but worth a mention.

[Sega Chief]

Thanks Sega Chief for the great mod and others for your help!

I recently reached the mr smiles and was able to distribute source points to everyone in my party...except for red 13. When I visit a save point it says that he has 255/200 but I never get a prompt to spend SP on him and him alone. I am using the 7th heaven mod manager and I do have other mods active, all of which are cosmetic. Is there something I am missing here? Has anyone else run into this issue and is there a known mod conflict that causes this problem?

Sounds like 1.5, I guess the var has been set wrong somehow. Did you change versions or use an older version save file at any point? Was the build you're using from here or from NGPlus.net?

I think 7th Heaven (if you're using that) overrides the config on start up so you'll need to specify your own controls there and it'll apply them to the game every time it runs. Same for the sound settings.

If Osmose is called Death then it means the kernel2.bin isn't patched. If you're using Bonez' spell names mod then make sure to select the NT compatibility option for it.

Patch is up, but it's not 2.1; it's 2.095 reason being there were no new fights added like Extra Battle just yet. However, it does have a number of fixes for long-standing issues like the toggles for hard mode, music, etc. Hard Mode itself had its parameters altered.

For this particular patch, I think that games which are in progress can use the new flags without incident but I would recommend saving the game into a separate slot beforehand in case of issues.

Code: [Select]

v2.095
*) Toggle flags for Hard mode, Battle Music, and No EXP fixed
*) Hard Mode: Parameters adjusted
*) Moved Tifa dialogue boxes in old woman's house in Under Junon
*) Removed a 17th Field model from Junon Parade

*) Reference to Type A events removed from Type B Wall Market
*) 1/35 Soldier in Midgar Raid was giving Vaccine instead of the item
*) Yuffie Innate text updated in-game and in documentation
*) Ahriman in North Crater now carries the Mustard Bomb enemy skill (Manipulate)
*) Mt. Nibel Flashback, Fountain SFX wasn't being played
*) Name change function on a certain Chocobo disabled for Cloud, Cait, and Vincent
*) Magic Counter in Desert Prison was hidden on Type B
*) Grimguard (Forgotten City, canyon in the back) now carries Javelin as a Steal
*) Guard Ring & Relic Ring Steal location corrected in documentation
*) Changed Mideel Materia shop inventory (post-collapse) to keep Osmose available
*) Risk Ring added as a Morph to Goblin enemy (Goblin Islands)
*) Four Slots added as a Steal to Ying enemy (Shinra Mansion Basement)
*) Reactor 5 Type B boss downtuned

Hey Sega Chief. I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into this mod. Playing through it was like re-experiencing the game for the first time.

It looks like your latest patch finally opened up the silver chocobo secret...

Spoiler: show

I think the calamity is a very cool idea for a secret boss. Definitely a tough fight that I probably wouldn't have been able to beat if I didn't resort to KOTR spam + peerless. You really have to get lucky with it not casting Dispel right away so you can get rid of the tentacles. It's also the only boss I ever had to equip a Peace Ring for lol. I do feel that its high HP and the fact that the tentacles counter every attack somewhat limits the strategies you can use. I thought having someone with 100% cover + Mystile might work but these things have crazy high hit%. Also, for such a tough boss, winning the fight is pretty anticlimactic. Do you have any plans of adding a new scene after the battle or an alternate ending of some kind?

Once again, this mod is a blast and I'm looking forward to 2.1. I think I'll try arrange mode in the meantime.

[Murtor]

Thank you! Will try to follow your advice!

Hey there.

So I came from a generation of gamers that did NOT play the original FF7. I bought the Steam version after I finished playing FF7 Remake. What finally convinced me to try the original is because I want to know what's next in terms of story and because of the plethora of mods here in Qhimm.

I just got done installing a couple of mods using 7th Heaven. Mostly graphical to update the more outdated textures. And now I'm looking for some gameplay improvement. Seeing as I have no knowledge of how the game works, my question is: would you guys recommend for my first time playing with NT 2.0 installed?

Right now, I'm mostly interested in the cut and restored dialogue to complete the experience. Would you guys recommend NT 1.5 Vanilla Combat and finish the game and try out NT 2.0 after? Or screw it and go full NT 2.0?

Thanks for the advice. Cheers.

v2 and 1.5 are a lot different with several aspects each a seperate mod in their own right imo

i'd try type B regular mode for your first play through. saying that thou when your party meets up at the bar, ensure to check out the 2nd floor of the weapon shop.  There is a very handy list of things contained within the tutorial section which will teach you the game mechanics alongside suggested weaknesses etc that a particular group of enemies have.

Have fun

Ah damn, I forgot about Peerless; ah well.

Might be that I forgot to set the new flags for game start or something. No need to check the other areas, I'll check it.

Edit: Yeah, the Hard Mode flag at New Game is the wrong way round. Tested it out after making the change and it all seems to be working as intended including the No EXP flag. Will update the files today.

Edit2: Patch is up. Hard Mode should be correctly configured when starting a New Game now.

I would recommend playing the original first; the text has slight alterations between the PS1 game and its PC port but nothing major so either works fine. The NT mod, however, has some stuff in it that I think would potentially interfere with a first-time playthrough (including the vanilla combat version) so if you do decide to go for that then just be forewarned on that.

Gameplay-wise, I'm unsure. I think it depends on what you like; as an RPG, FF7's game progression is quite streamlined so it's good for people who want to pick up and play, not so good for the more detail-oriented RPG fan (but again, depends; people can like both styles). It's often said to be easy, but that's a bit misleading. It has its fair share of hard-hitting bosses and 'spikes', and has some of its balancing done around the old 'hide the thing' model to help sell strategy guides and helpline calls (maybe the latter was more a 16-bit console era thing, but you know what I mean).

Ah damn, I forgot about Peerless; ah well.

To be fair, the boss casts Dispel so often that you can't really rely on it. I guess you could have it counter Great Gospel/Gospel Spark with Dispel immediately if you don't want players to use it. I did manage to beat it again without KOTR or Peerless. I basically spammed Pearl with W-Magic + Mime and had a high defense Cover tank with Barrier protecting the party. It ended up taking a long time though (about 30 minutes) - the boss has too much HP, imo.

I absolutely recommend that you play NT 2.x on your first playthrough, as long as you choose Game Type A.
I had my friend play the game for the first time last year in preparation for the remake. I had him install New Threat. He loved every second of it. Then, like 2/3rds of the way through the game, he lost his save, so his uninstalled new threat and got a save for the vanilla game from the internet so that he could resume his playthrough where he was. Throughout the remainder of his playthrough, he would periodically tell me how he missed new threat and how the vanilla combat was braindead and not fun. He was in it for the story by that point, so he kept going.

So yeah, my opinion is that you will have a much better time with New Threat than without, even on your first playthrough. As long as you go with Game Type A, and also that (spoiler):

Spoiler: show

you make sure to keep Aerith dead. You do so by killing her zombie form during the Jenova fight.

Save Game Type B for your subsequent playthrough.

[Parkes04]

I've recently started a new type A game using version 2.095 and I've noticed that I am not receiving gil as a reward from any of the fights. I've played up to Aerith's house and not yet seen any gil drop. Is this by design or am I looking at a bug/mod conflict?

If it uses Dispel too often then I can adjust that.

There was an oversight where the Hard Mode flag was the wrong way round when starting a new game; I upped a hotfix (2.096) to fix it. You can toggle Hard Mode off at a save point though to avoid having to restart.

[Xezcente]

Thanks for the replies. I must say, I'm still a little bit undecided. But I'm leaning towards going vanilla since Sega Chief suggested it. Will definitely still try this mod someday! Cheers.

[Reggie Nintendo]

If it uses Dispel too often then I can adjust that.

In retrospect, I actually don't mind its use of Dispel since it forces you to manage buffs more carefully. Again, my biggest gripe is how spongy/tanky the boss is. A character with 255 MAtk using Pearl + MP Turbo does around 1700-1800 damage per cast. Physical attacks with Holy-Elemental do similar damage but less than half my attacks managed to connect because of its high physical evasion. Albeit, I was using Tifa with Premium Heart as my physical attacker, which doesn't have 255 Attack%, but I was still surprised by how often she was missing. KOTR does around 1800-2000 per hit for a total of ~25000 per cast. Obviously the deterrent for using KOTR is the tentacle counterattacks, which is where Peerless comes in handy. You can usually cast KOTR 4-8 times using W-Summon + Mime before the boss uses Dispel (assuming you have 2 casters). That's enough damage to get rid of the tentacles, at which point Peerless becomes unnecessary.

Since the boss has over 200,000 HP, fighting it without KOTR will take quite a while. If the intended strat is to rely on KOTR (from Master Summon to allow for infinite casts) + Peerless, then it's pretty much fine as is. If the intended strat is to use other sources of damage, then I would recommend reducing some combination of its HP, Defense, and Evasion.

Of course, this is just my opinion after fighting it a few times so take it with a grain of salt. Hopefully as other people fight this boss, you can get some other perspectives.

[Killamox]

Hello love the mod. I ran into an issue after leaving Northern Crater where several of my party members are locked out. I'm unable to select them one forming a party. It appears to be the party members I sent in the other direction when first exploring Northern Crater. Any way I can fix this?

In retrospect, I actually don't mind its use of Dispel since it forces you to manage buffs more carefully. Again, my biggest gripe is how spongy/tanky the boss is. A character with 255 MAtk using Pearl + MP Turbo does around 1700-1800 damage per cast. Physical attacks with Holy-Elemental do similar damage but less than half my attacks managed to connect because of its high physical evasion. Albeit, I was using Tifa with Premium Heart as my physical attacker, which doesn't have 255 Attack%, but I was still surprised by how often she was missing. KOTR does around 1800-2000 per hit for a total of ~25000 per cast. Obviously the deterrent for using KOTR is the tentacle counterattacks, which is where Peerless comes in handy. You can usually cast KOTR 4-8 times using W-Summon + Mime before the boss uses Dispel (assuming you have 2 casters). That's enough damage to get rid of the tentacles, at which point Peerless becomes unnecessary.

Since the boss has over 200,000 HP, fighting it without KOTR will take quite a while. If the intended strat is to rely on KOTR (from Master Summon to allow for infinite casts) + Peerless, then it's pretty much fine as is. If the intended strat is to use other sources of damage, then I would recommend reducing some combination of its HP, Defense, and Evasion.

Of course, this is just my opinion after fighting it a few times so take it with a grain of salt. Hopefully as other people fight this boss, you can get some other perspectives.
[/quote]

The goal was to try and push people away from KOTR (that's why the things counter-attack, as a deterrent against AOE spells). The evasion you'd want to buff up the Luck stat to land luck-based critical hits which ignore all physical evasion (chance is Luck/4 so max it can be is 60ish%). Defences you can weather away a bit with Cloud's Braver or Climhazzard and the Fire spells, or perhaps swap over to the Comet spell. I'd probably stick with Comet until a couple of Limits have landed then swap over to Pearl. I'll reduce the HP to 144k or something.

Hey Sega Chief,

I'm using The Reunion version of your mod, and I'm having an issue after the [spoiler]Zack[/spoiler] fight. It's after I win. The game just crashes. I had this issue using ffnx also, so I'm thinking it might have to do with your mod. Any ideas? I'll submit the crash logs and stuff.

Edit: Also the fight uses the [spoiler]cloud model.[/spoiler]

[00023631] UNEXPECTED: ExceptionHandler: crash while running another ExceptionHandler. Exiting.[/quote]

Cloud model is intended, as only 7th Heaven can swap files while the game is running. However, unsure what the crash would be. 'Could not change to Directory' isn't something I've seen in the app.log before. Right after the battle opcode there's two opcodes to change Cloud's name back and for Cait Sith as well (due to a quirk where naming Cloud will also rename Cait Sith as he occupies the Young Cloud spot). No other real special script handling in there so I have to assume it's this causing the issue. I need to fix an issue with the Kalm Save Point not warping back from the SP room so I'll try removing these rename lines while I'm at it.

Hello love the mod. I ran into an issue after leaving Northern Crater where several of my party members are locked out. I'm unable to select them one forming a party. It appears to be the party members I sent in the other direction when first exploring Northern Crater. Any way I can fix this?

Is this the 1.5 build or 2.0 build?

Yeah the only thing in my notepad++ it says after change directory is SOH. No idea what that means. It's also in special text.

Also I found some other issues. When fast forwarding, the game tends to crash. It only does that when your mod is loaded. Otherwise it runs fine with The Reunion.

Edit: Oh yeah forgot to mention that! The Kalm save point SP smile man is glitched. You don't get teleported back. Well there you go! Lol.

Hello, I've encountered a glitch where it seems like Hard Mode has permanently switched to on. I can't toggle it at save points, no matter how many times I click it it always says On, and it doesn't matter which of my saves I load. I've even tried starting a new game and even then I wasn't earning gil from battles.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, I'm only at the Temple of the Ancients and I'm very excited to play the rest :3

I have a question, I picked up a new computer recently and was wondering if this works with a cloud save? Like If i had a NT save on one comp and can access the save from another will it work properly?

The goal was to try and push people away from KOTR (that's why the things counter-attack, as a deterrent against AOE spells). The evasion you'd want to buff up the Luck stat to land luck-based critical hits which ignore all physical evasion (chance is Luck/4 so max it can be is 60ish%). Defences you can weather away a bit with Cloud's Braver or Climhazzard and the Fire spells, or perhaps swap over to the Comet spell. I'd probably stick with Comet until a couple of Limits have landed then swap over to Pearl. I'll reduce the HP to 144k or something.

The kalm one was reported just recently by a youtube comment so I've covered that in the files for the new patch. Fast-forward I don't think I'll be able to do much about, I can only guess at the cause. May just be that it can fall over sometimes depending on how that fast-forward was implemented and what script it's accelerating.

In the 2.0.95 build the hard mode switch is set to on from new game by mistake (corrected in the 2.0.96 patch). I was hoping that the toggle at save points would work with pre-existing save files but it sounds like that's not the case. I can manually toggle it if you send the save file to me.

It should do, so long as the save file is for the same build (for instance a NT 2.0 save should only be used with NT 2.0; the game won't break if using, say, a 1.5 save file with 2.0 but there will be unforeseen consequences that come with that as the vars I use for 2.0's events and stuff were re-done for the most part).

But I have seen that Cloud saves can disappear over the years with multiple users so if possible I'd make a backup of your saves if you can as a safeguard.

1.5 build has a ill-guided attempt at preserving people's Materia by changing the 'make character unavailable' to 'lock in PHS' but I made a hash of it and seems it leaves characters locked when it shouldn't. I think a save editor can sort it out, that or proceeding down to the bottom of North Crater should sort it out (but save editor would likely be a better idea; if on Steam version, then back up save files first just in case and only make edits while FF7 Launcher is open).

[TheDrifter363]

So Sega Chief, do you think you'll be able to fix that flashback crash? If you want any more information, I can try to take a look. I really wanted to see that in its conclusion.

Thanks for the reply. How should I send you the save file? Every time I click the PM button it keeps sending me to an error page. Also it just seemed to randomly switch into Hardmode while I was on the world map. I'd made it through all the story up to the Temple of the Ancients earning gil and then it randomly stopped.
