How can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

what does your app.log say ? (the app.log is a file in the ff7 folder, just run the game and once the problem happens press ALT+F4 and quit the game then post the contents here, also post it in code tags if possible)

I think that you dont have the right textures for the sword. I mean, the rtad,rtae, files.
And maybe you have to use the PCreator to put the RTAA file in number 10.
Thats all I know

I think the APP.log is the document file that is in the FF7 folder, right?
That document says this:

I don't understood nothing what you said, sorry I don't understand these things without a tutorial or something XD

That is the buster sword right?? And if it is Millenia's weapons your probably missing its texture files. Try reinstalling the mod again and if still does not work try what ff7master was saying. You need Pcreator to do that. Set rtaa the battle hrc file of cloud and set its weapon textures to something like 10.

Ok, I'll try reinstalling the mod again. If it doesn't work, can you explain to me step by step how to make that?

obesebear · « **Reply #6 on:** 2010-05-30 17:02:55 »

Most likely you need to open the battle hrc "rtaa" in PCreator and set the number of textures to 2 instead of 1

Kranmer · « **Reply #7 on:** 2010-05-30 17:03:58 »

hm your app.log doesn't show you even went into battle, when you go into battle your app.log should say
[BATTLE] Entering FRAME_INITIALIZE
this basically means the battle has started.
so try again with your app.log to see if you can get it right (also you can do it while your running the game if you get into a battle then go to your app.log folder it should say)

also on a side note, in the last thread i noticed your drivers are still not the latest, you may find the newer ones work better, i think 197.77 is the newest and can be gotten here

I'm really lazy so I'll copy Slayersnext Tutorials or steps.
------------------------------------
Instructions: To make work the textures, you should make:
   - Decompile your battle.LGP.
   - Paste on the created folder the files you just download.
   - Open Pcreator, load the .3ds file in the rar and select in 'Options'>Battle Model.
   - Then go to 'File' and select 'Open battle HRC'...
   - Open RTAA for Cloud
   - Open RUAA for Tifa
   - Open RVAA for Aeris
   ...
   and set the numer of textures to 10. Then close Pcreator.
   - Compile again the battle.LGP with LGPTools.
   - put in FFVII/data/battle floder.
   - Play with the new Swords!.

For more info you can go to his thread right here. http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=6617.0
Obviously you will need to open rtaa only since you're only doing Cloud's weapons. That's about it.

Ok, I think I need LGPTools for decompile battle.lpg but when I downloaded and ran it, it says: needs ficedula.dll and I can't find ficedula.dll in anywhere and the official website of ficedula is down... So, how can I find it?

k thx bye

I've found it already. Now I have a problem. I've decompiled and I have changed the number of textures to 2 as obesebear has said and then I closed the PCreator but when I'm going to compile the battle.lpg again I can't. It doesn't appear nothing in the folder I extracted battle.lpg... What should I do? or what do I'm doing bad?

Sorry, English is not my first language so probably I don't explained well what I meant.
- I've decompiled 'Battle.LPG' with LPG Tools.
- Then I opened the 'rtaa' with PCreator.
- I opened 'Battle HRC' and I selected 'rtaa'.
- I changed the texture from 1 to 2.
- Then I saved 'rtaa' and replaced from the previous one.
- Finally, I opened the LPG Tools again and I selected 'Open LGP' and I searched the folder where I extracted 'Battle.LPG' but I can't do nothing because it says: there's nothing in this folder.

And now my question is: What I have to do?

DarkFang · « **Reply #14 on:** 2010-05-31 00:48:36 »

Open LGPTools and click create.
Browse to the folder where you extracted the contents of battle.lgp at.
Select that folder.
Type in a name for the new .lgp file that is going to be created.
Backup your battle.lgp and overwrite it with the newly created battle.lgp.

what darkfang said, you don't need to open a battle.lgp you've already extracted, you need to create with lgptools

nikfrozty · « **Reply #16 on:** 2010-05-31 07:49:57 »

And if you create a new battle.lgp you first will have to delete the old battle.lgp so remember to "ALWAYS" make backup.

Tidus_654 · « **Reply #17 on:** 2010-05-31 09:20:43 »

I did that but when I enter in a battle it crashes and it says:
"Oops! Something very bad happened
Wrote crash.dmp to FF7 install dir.
Please provide a copy of it along with APP.LOG when reporting this error.
Write emergency save to save/crash.ff?"

What I have to do?

nikfrozty · « **Reply #18 on:** 2010-05-31 09:58:52 »

It means you have messed up your battle.lgp and may have done some steps wrong. I have those too sometimes but only in FF8 not in FF7.

What am I doing wrong? I've followed step by step all you copied in your post...

nikfrozty · « **Reply #20 on:** 2010-05-31 11:25:15 »

Try setting rtaa to 10 instead of two. That's what I did for Slayersnext Weapons.

I've tried 10 too and keeps the same problem...

I would suggest you use Millenia's installer rather than trying to install the mods manually.

I've downloaded the Millenia's installer and installed it but I get white swords.

Do you have TeamViewer?
