Author Topic: Black Character and Object Sprites, Black lines in cinematics (FF7) (Read 9545 times)

Jehebi · « **on:** 2009-09-06 08:28:53 »

I'm having some graphic issues with FF7. This issues happen both with FF7w and running FF7 normally. Basically, in cinematics I get a thick black line in the right side through it, in game the character and save point is black, and in the menu instead of being blue and white, there's black. Also, in game I have all these random lines (squares). Can anyone help with this please?

Edit: I have fixed the black characters but I am yet to be able to fix the cinematic problems

What patches are you using?

This is your graphic's card, maybe change the nvidia tnt or riva option in your ff7config?

It almost looks like you're trying to emulate a windows game on linux or something...

Using official 1.02 and FF7w and I'm using Windows XP

Try downloading Aali's driver, it might be more compatible with your card.

Kinda looks like " FFVII: The Doomsday "

Aalis gonna be pissed if you're still not gonna use his Driver ...

The cinematics are still the same but the grid lines are fixed. Any more ideas guys?

Costa07 · « **Reply #9 on:** 2009-09-09 20:58:54 »

Whats the highest res that your computer can display?

Jehebi · « **Reply #10 on:** 2009-09-10 08:10:02 »

1280x1024

Just to recap the problem, I'm having a thick black line in cinematics (first picture) and this only happens when I play it in windowed mode.

Costa07 · « **Reply #11 on:** 2009-09-10 08:22:09 »

So you are no longer have the grid lines while playing or you still have them?

Jehebi · « **Reply #12 on:** 2009-09-10 12:49:19 »

No longer have grid lines.

Costa07 · « **Reply #13 on:** 2009-09-10 20:27:01 »

Ok so you running Aali driver is that what fixed that?

Jehebi · « **Reply #14 on:** 2009-09-11 05:51:41 »

Nah it was fixed when I updated my graphics card (Nvidia 8600GT) driver to the latest version.

I'm only having one issue at the moment which is the cinematic issue (half of cinematic covered by black box) and this only seems to happen while in windowed mode (running with ff7w)

This is my config:

I've tried using Riva 128 and also unclicking Nvidia with no success.

Harruzame · « **Reply #15 on:** 2009-09-11 06:29:26 »

Then why don't you tinker with the resolution size?... Or don't just use the windowed mode..its much easier..

Costa07 · « **Reply #16 on:** 2009-09-11 09:41:13 »

I would say try aali driver but i dont know if that will help with your problem. What kinda video codec do you have

Jehebi · « **Reply #17 on:** 2009-09-11 13:57:20 »

Using K-Lite Full Codec Pack with Truemotion disabled.

Ah try enabling ture motion and running it with that codec im pretty sure that will fix it.

The cinematic thing is because your desktop has to be in 16-bit colour mode to display these correctly. Problem solved.

If you want to fix this without having your pretty windows Aero disappearing before your very eyes, use Aali's driver!

Jehebi · « **Reply #20 on:** 2009-09-12 03:25:28 »

Thankyou very much guys, fixed it now

Costa07 · « **Reply #21 on:** 2009-09-12 03:34:11 »

Just curious what was the solution to your problem

Jehebi · « **Reply #22 on:** 2009-09-12 03:49:57 »

Use 16bit colour mode or Aali's driver.

But I just found another problem, when I play the game it looks like this now:

Theres a huge region of black to the upper and right side of the game.

Or, if I don't use ff7w, opening ff7.exe causes my desktop resolution to shrink to the lowest setting.

Costa07 · « **Reply #23 on:** 2009-09-12 05:40:13 »

Do you have a wide screen

Jehebi · « **Reply #24 on:** 2009-09-12 06:20:57 »

Nope just normal screen with 1280x1024 resolution.
