Thank you Bonez for this great addition!

The prelude credits looks amazing. Bearing in mind my very limited knowledge of modding, would it be possible to make all the prelude images to cycle throughout the whole credits scene?

Large update. See Op.

Hey, just updated to the newest release version 2.2 and it is crashing my game- immediately after battle. Characters do the victory pose and then it freezes with an error message. Not sure what's going on because everything was working fine with the previous version. I went back and replaced it with the version on the nexus and it is working. So definitely something with the latest update.

Euron-Crows-Eye · « **Reply #10 on:** 2022-10-10 23:59:16 »

Okay, nice everything seems to be working okay again in version 2.21 - awesome mod!

I've been having issues with Finishing Touch since I updated it on the 10th. I hadn't played for several days before then so it's possible the update causing the issues happened anytime in the beginning of October. Before this, everything worked fine.
Now, some parts of Finishing Touch work while others don't work correctly or don't work at all.

What works:
Dialogue font
Battle font
Optimized Battle UI (though it seems to be placed too high on the screen)
Avatars
Background art

What doesn't work:
Finishing Touch Battle View crashed the game
Transparent Dialogue boxes
Help Box Transparency
Menu font and spacing is all messed up
Menu background color

I've tried deleting and reinstalling this mod and the whole game and 7th Heaven and all my mods. Nothing has worked. On the 10th, I updated lots of stuff - 7th Heaven, FFNx driver, several mods, Windows 11, Nvidia drivers, etc. so it's hard to tell which update broke it. Installing an old version of the mod seems to exhibit the same issues as the latest version, and disabling all mods except Finishing Touch also doesn't fix anything. It seems like maybe the latest Windows, Nvidia, or FFNx updates broke compatibility with Finishing Touch.
As a side note, could you share the RGB values you used for the 4 corners of the menu background? I like the color!

You also need to have ESUI installed and up-to-date for the ESUI theme. Also, it will not work with SYW menus or that Ifrit/Kactuar stuff.

I see. Thanks! Installing ESUI fixed almost everything. Unfortunately, the Battle Help box is still messed up somehow. If I select the option for No Box Text Only, the box still appears off to the right and the text appears in the center of the screen (not even in the box). Any idea what could be causing that?

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this. With any of the battle views, help box transparency on or off, widescreen on or off.

natepley · « **Reply #15 on:** 2022-10-15 08:02:01 »

Strange. I'll try it again in the future - maybe whenever Finishing Touch or ESUI is next updated. For now I'll just use ESUI with Finishing Touch's background art and avatars.

This is absolutely beautiful thanks for your work, could it be possible to have the status effects always visible?

Sorry for necroing this topic. But the latest version of this on the 7th Heaven catalogs is 2.298, the latest version on NexusMods is 2.293, and the version here says 2.295. Which one is the real latest version? Or are they all the same but just have the wrong numbers?

Bonez · « **Reply #19 on:** 2022-12-04 00:47:58 »

Latest version is the biggest number.

Hello,

I've been using this mod for a couple months now (everything's been working great). I just updated to the latest version released 12-15 and now I'm getting this error when the mod is enabled and I try to run the game:

19:29:26|ERROR|SeventhHeaven.Windows.GameLaunchWindow|System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
19:29:26|INFO|SeventhHeaven.ViewModels.GameLaunchViewModel|Unknown error when launching the game: Input string was not in a correct format.

I think I've eliminated all other variables -- this is the only mod that prevents the game from starting when activated. Let me know if there is any other logging or debug info I can provide. Thank you!

~~(PS until this is resolved, is there a way to roll back to the prior working version I had installed?)~~

Update: I found version 2.293 from NexusMods and manually reinstalled it. Everything is working just fine the way it was before. Re-re-installing the latest greatest version from the 12-15 update (2.2985?) breaks everything. Happy to assist debugging or provide any info as needed. Thank you! (again!)

The color themes are still not working.

Bonez · « **Reply #23 on:** 2023-01-16 05:16:58 »

Is working for me.

I uninstalled FT and reinstalled it and it still makes my theme the OG theme. What do you suggest? It is at the top of my list in the mod list. It works. I was using a previous save before Echo-S7 official was added to the list. When I added the official Echo-S7 it didn't save the theme. I had to start a new game and it did carry over the theme, but doesn't carry over the theme on my old saves. Wish it did because I save it at every boss scene and CG scene. Can you fix that issue or see if the theme carries over on any of your saves prior to using the official Echo-S7?
