ok so, this morning it was working perfectly
i had the APZ cloud with the Kula Tsurugi and i then tried to patch over everything
with the scorpious zack thing so i could just replace the battle model with the APZ cloud and Kula Tsurugi... then somthing freaks with my exe, it began to crash upon loading the save files, and even when starting a new game...
so from my old (possibly screwed) backups, i re-installed the game.
I started with clean everything now. The game ran fine, no more crashes.
threw the 1.02 on there, the chocobo patch, started it again, all is well.
Then i throw in the scorpious zack patch, i load the save game i backed up
b4 uninstalling it the first time, and on the save file i see the redone icon of Zack
(as what should be there cuz i had just installed the zack patch). HOWEVER...
upon transitioning from the black screen to the place i had loaded to... my sprite
wasnt zack... I open my menu and wha'da'ya'kno i see a picture of zack staring
back at me with his green smile (green to the world not green in color)... last time
i patched this game on my XP (which im not running win7) the patch fell in
perfectly. My field sprite was Zack, WM was Zack, Battle was Zack, menu Icon
was Zack.... there were no loopholes >_> so why is my field sprite still cloud >_>
if the patch did wat it was supposed to do and obviously loaded Zack >_>
this is the same issue i had when trying to load the AC cloud model it just wouldnt
show up, it was regular old effing cloud >_> and first try with the sword, it was
also the same ole bull >_>
