Author Topic: Help to Enhance FF7... [SOLVED] (Read 17158 times)

Cuholvke · « **on:** 2010-03-21 19:18:49 »

Hello, I'm new here. I hope my English is good enough for you to understand me because is not my native language (the funny thing is that I learned most of it playing FF7 and Zelda <.< )

I wanted to play FF7 with enhanced graphics and sound so I downloaded the **TABU NAME**. After a while I found better mods but only for the full game, so I'm going to install my full game but I don't know what I need to know before download/install any mod, like: mod order, programs needed (saw something about LGPTools), patches? (1.02 and the Chocobos one is enough?).

Also I want to know which ones are the best graphic mods, I see that there are for HD, colour depth, resolution, enhanced characters and NPC graphics, enhanced map/field graphics etc. What I want is to upgrade the quality of the game keeping the battle/materia/magic/limit/etc systems intact.

EDIT: Thanks for the help, close this thread if you want.

We don't support the ultima edition of ff7 on this forum, as it is pirated. so....

Step one to upgrading ff7 - get a legal copy.

I have a legal copy, I downloaded the UE to play on Windows 7 and with non-SD characters before knowing about a patch to make the legal copy work on XP/Vista/W7 and about the many mods out there... sorry for asking here, bye.

Ok :L

For starters: get aali's driver and learn the ropes of his lgptools, ask around in a few threads, experiment, etc.
After that I highly recommend GUI overhaul found in the Team Avalanche forum. After that there are smaller (but still incredibly awesome) mods like millenia's weapons, the superawesome cloud and barret battle models, and of course, the NPC PRP.

Other mods to look at: ff7music (takes a bit of doing to make it run smoothly), bike mini game redux, full screen start menu by nero, icon redux, and the diamond weapon redux

None the less, you still pirated the game. Even if you have legally the discs you went and downloaded a pirated version of the game. Which in all honesty I don't under stand why, Ultima is a really crappy version I hear.... All kinds of bugs.

Technically you could consider AC to be VII-2

Ok he pirated, but he can't do any modding with a pirated copy and yes there are moral issues but the integrity or legal security of the site isn't at sake quit riding his ass. Good luck in your research, you'd be surprised how much has been accomplished in the past year using aali's driver and the hard work and will of the members here. I'd say 90% of everything is redone save battle models and areas and field textures. The only one you'd notice though is the field textures which are being worked on very hard by Team Avalanche but there's a lot to be done there.

ryan89 · « **Reply #12 on:** 2010-03-21 20:51:21 »

true the people running this site and the team are working hard with these mods to make this like a version of square enix company remake i think theyve done well tbh all the mods ive seen everyone has been working very hard to try make there final fantasy amazing good and bug free thanks for everyones help

Timu Sumisu · « **Reply #13 on:** 2010-03-21 20:53:36 »

on that note, i beleive (as far as TA is concerned) we're making it very unlike how square enix would remake the game... They' likely keep it to compilation style (more realistic) and would probably overhaul the gameplay to be more like ff13 or crisis core.

Actually, yes he can, he just has to pirate the right version. As long as he can find a pirate version of the 4 disc game, he wins. And at this point, I'm not riding his ass for any reason, I'm just stating facts... which I should probably stop doing as it makes me come off as an asshole.

You know, I honestly wouldn't mind too much a remake similar to crisis core. However it wouldn't be VII.

ryan89 · « **Reply #15 on:** 2010-03-21 20:57:49 »

true but still how there making is what is kinda what i was expecting i think they have ruined final fantasy now i didnt like ff12 or 11 not sure where u run about and slash them and 13 i dont like as much because it has auto battle where you dont have a strategy and the comp does it for you secondly all summons are robots i didnt like this due to the game mostly being monster based :L and i liked it were the earth was in danger like in 7,8,9

ff9 was just a lil different but not far off

but anyway my point is that these ff7 mods are how i expected square to make it but your right they wouldnt have made a remake as i would thought

but anyway this guy has left the forums so it doesnt matter if he has a coppied version or not you can still run the mods on it and that is that aslong as hes happy who gives a bull

The point here is, pirating is bad. So if he has a pirated copy, I'm not going to help him. If you're going to pirate, you should either 1, not make it blatantly obvious at LEAST, or 2 not ask for help altogether.

ryan89 · « **Reply #17 on:** 2010-03-21 21:06:09 »

lemme ask you a question
Why do you care so much? because if he gets in trouble for his pirated copy then thats his fault not ours but im just saying if he is happy with what he does why bother? it makes me laugh tbh because if he gets caught then tough bull i mean the only reason im saying is because he was probally just looking for a mod update not a new game hehe

i also know your going to say you dont care but still why bother with this post we all know pirating is wrong but some of us choose to do this on our own terms ^^ but im being honest its true i dont like piraters either but you dont have to be so harsh about it :L

Because the forum rules say it doesn't support pirated copies...

It's not that i care so much, as i said, I'm just stating facts.

<< I also said i should stop doing that too....

ryan89 · « **Reply #19 on:** 2010-03-21 21:11:15 »

obviously i know your just stating facts but this guy is new to the forums and he probally doesnt no any better im just saying i g2g in min cuz got college tomoz but still if he didnt know that maybe the site should put up a list of rules before you enter it lol

but still i kno what you mean we ought to change the subject he posted this hours ago ^^ so i rekon a new subject is in order kk?

Immortal Damyn · « **Reply #20 on:** 2010-03-21 21:14:17 »

Anyway, personally one of my favorite things to do modding FFVII is making my own mods. Like replacing materia and such. If you wanna do that you should look up WallMarket and ProudClod ... or even Hojo... fun programs.

ryan89 · « **Reply #21 on:** 2010-03-21 21:16:50 »

wouldnt mind that

hehe i love ff its my most faviourite game im so glad there are forums like this to dicuss with other people like you me and many others to make mods have fun and enjoy this game but thx for today i was just sitting here for a few hours watching my brothers and sisters while chatting on this was fun but i g2g a sec kk night people thx for today lol also if i cud add friends send me friend request cuz i need help too with mods etc if you guys wouldnt mind hehe anyway il post once more then go but thx. anyway goodnight everyone hehe

Didn't know it was the full game with murdered movies before downloading it, I thought it was THE mod with enhanced graphics and a patch that let's you play on W7 (around 500MB against 4CD (2GB+) of the original, what would you think?). I tried to run my legal copy three times before but didn't work because I didn't know about the freaking patch, that's why I download the UE thinking it was THE ONLY MOD, and with a patch that let's you play the game on XP/Vista/W7.

... didn't even glance at the first post.

In short, I have the legal copy of FF7 and installed, I never asked for help for the UE.

Thanks for the people who reads before posting.

Immortal Damyn · « **Reply #23 on:** 2010-03-21 21:41:18 »

No, we read the post, and to us, it sounded like you downloaded the game FFVII ultima edition. Which would be a game, not a patch. Which would mean you pirated. It in no way sounds to me reading that that you only downloaded it thinking it was a patch. and just to let you know, EDITIONS are usually new versions of a game, not patches. Which would mean you just downloaded a pirate copy of the game, unless for some reason the original producer was just letting people download it for free (which i think happened at one point with a certain game i cant remember.)

And through this I personally don't believe you actually HAVE the original game as usually people download the ultima edition, find they can't use mods with it, and then go download the original version. HOWEVER this is personal opinion. I'm not trying to attack you here. In fact, you very well could have the original game for computer. However, through personal experience, as explained above, I doubt it.

Lots of stuff

I apologize. There have been a lot of new members lately asking for help with the Ultima Edition. Which (as you have amptly seen) isn't allowed here. So stating that you downloaded it makes some people quit reading the rest of your post, because hey..we aren't going to help anyways.

First get Aali's driver, then download the Team Avalanche installer, then FF7 Music.
