Final Fantasy VII: New magic materia and spells

[crusemager]

is aero the meaning of wind?

[KudistosMegistos]

@crusemager

Yes, aero is the wind-elemental attack

[dragonex95]

hey guys, i just started play FF7 again on my psp (bought legaly through PSN) and i can't remember anything from when i played on PSX, if anyone can tell me some good places to level up my char.s and Materia early on that would be really helpful ^.^ thank you, im in the sewers under the Dons place atm

[NingyoAijin]

Okay, Aero3 is a little disappointing. Is there no way to mod the appearance of existing attacks? Because you could couple the animation with lightning flashes, debris and an actual tornado...

[YOMANA666]

@NingyoAijin You can do that, but I think keeping Aero3 as it is in the game is fine.

[jonathansymes2]

where d o you get those aqua attacks from? and darkness and aero

[ixTrickzix]

you realy should upload these mods aswell as showing them

[KudistosMegistos]

Yeah, I should :3

However, I'm taking a break from modding for a few months. If/when I get back into it, I might think of releasing mods.

[lennethebeauty]

Question: Do I have to have the PC game or is this mod for an emulator, oh and how would I get this mod (did you finish it?)?

[KudistosMegistos]

This is the PC version of the game, but this particular mod can be done on the PSX version.

Unfortunately, I only made this mod as an experiment; I haven't released anything.

[lennethebeauty]

ah, too bad. I really liked this.

[Xeeynamo]

I've done a patch like this, but when I put the modded f7 on original psx or psp, the game freeze =( work only on epsxe...

[JVR958421]

now this song's in my head, great vid, man :)

[kleimiammors123]

Great! But how did you write Japanese? In the Tags.

[KudistosMegistos]

Copied and pasted from the wikipedia articles, I'm afraid O_o

I want to learn Japanese, but I never get round to doing it.

[kleimiammors123]

Yes, I'd like to learn japanese, too, but I first need to finish school^^

[KudistosMegistos]

Yeah, school is a pain ;-)

[kleimiammors123]

You're so right! I still need to finish my latin Homework-.- It takes the hole day! School is annoying^^

[KudistosMegistos]

Oh god, Latin! The memories... XD

[kleimiammors123]

Yes, Latin is a pain, just like the school^^

[KudistosMegistos]

Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit :-P

BTW, Ancient Greek is far more fun than Latin :D

[kleimiammors123]

okaaaayy... What does the Latin sentence mean?^^

[KudistosMegistos]

Perhaps one day it will be a pleasure to remember even these things.

Forsan = perhaps

"et" means "even" here

haec = these things

olim = one day

meminisse = to remember

iuvabit = it will be a pleasure

Yep, I know the pain of learning Latin as well ;-)

[kleimiammors123]

:) Vielleicht wird es eines Tages sogar eine Freude sein sich daran zu erinnern.

Perhaps = Vielleicht

one day = eines Tages

it will be = es wird sein

a pleasure = Eine Freude

to remember = sich erinnern

even = sogar

These things = diese Sachen, in this sentence it's translated as "daran"

That's the German translation^^

[SephyncloudPoop]

lol, me too, but...um yeah, its said that it's the HARDEST language to learn...haha

[KRocK198901]

This is... ridiculous

well done!

[Abashi76]

kool, so there are like the fire-ice-bolt series, right?

[KudistosMegistos]

Yep, exactly like them (although the damage and MP use is more similar to the "quake" spells).

At some point in the distant future I might get round to putting them in the right order in the magic menu ;-)

[NFITC1]

You can now that the v1.1.8 of WM is out. :)

[KudistosMegistos]

I noticed that a few days ago; time to do some more hardcore modding, methinks :-P

[wingatei]

I don't think this game will ever be surpassed--square with enix is just amalgamated corporate greed: they're so incompetent.

Great game, though! Playin' it again, of course.

[KudistosMegistos]

My feelings exactly.

[Snotnarok]

I second that.

Maybe one day they'll realize that they used to make amazing games like FFVII and FFT. And maybe one day chickens will fly.

Till then cherish your copies of great PSOne (or PC if you have that one) games and keep them safe!

[KudistosMegistos]

I still have my (non-platinum) FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX games for PSX, with manuals ;-)

[Snotnarok]

I've got my FFVII and FFT originals as well, cheers man.

Have you played FFT for PSP? It's possibly the worst port ever with slowdown with anything that isn't a straight forward attack.

[KudistosMegistos]

Nope. I haven't played much at all on the PSP; tbh I'm not much of a fan of handhelds. So, is the PSX version of FFT the best one to play?

[Snotnarok]

Yes, literally everything slows down to half the framerate if you do literally anything besides a regular attack, even the dash move slows the game down. They "corrected" the script and added 2 new classes and 2 heroes and new vids but the gameplay is hurt bad.

[XRedburn]

how did you do that? Please tell Pedro how

[KudistosMegistos]

There is a tool called WallMarket that lets you edit things like spells and materia in FF7. It works with both the PC version of the game (which I use) and the PlayStation version (but editing that is much more complicated; some people can do it, but I don't).

If you visit forums(dot)qhimm(dot)com and read everything you see there, you should get enough information to help you edit FF7 yourself.

[JosephSeraph]

Hmm... it´s me or FFVII computer edition looks MUCH nicer?

[KudistosMegistos]

it's you ;-)

I'm using a modded Cloud here, so he will look better. And the video is low res. Trust me, if you played the PC version on a full screen you'd see that the backgrounds look much worse in this version, because PC screens don't even out the blockyness like TV screens do.

[liong999]

beside, how did u edit the magic?

[KudistosMegistos]

There's a program called Wallmarket. Google "Wallmarket" and "kernel.bin editor" and you'll be able to find it.

If you have the PlayStation version of the game, you'll have to learn about ISO editing first. If you use google, have a lot of patience and too much time on your hands, you'll be able to learn how to do this.

[liong999]

i have ply ps when i was small, btu now no ard

[muralame]

what...is this?!

[KudistosMegistos]

Just a few little mods I made for the PC version of the game ;-) Hopefully the description should have all the information you need.

[OSHIDezu]

That's cool

[KudistosMegistos]

Thanks!

[NFITC1]

Well, I see why he used that animation for Aero3. Rapps has that, but I always thought that'd make a better Aero2 and Funny Breath (Isn't that what's it's called?) would make a better Aero3.

[KudistosMegistos]

I will admit that the aero3 animation is quite weird; I've always thought that it is more suitable for a holy elemental attack.

And it seems strange that two enemies have an attack called aero3 and yet there is no wind materia in the game. Perhaps the game was originally meant to have it and aero3 is a throwback.

[NFITC1]

Yeah. There are quite a few blank materia in the magic materia lists. If the magic menu could be expanded, some of those attacks could possibly be added. I have no idea how to do that though seeing as that is not in the kernel at all. Only the first 54 attacks are slotted as magic attacks and I don't know how the others are assigned to their categories.

[KudistosMegistos]

Hmmm...I imagine that one would have to edit the executable to expand the magic menu, and a lot of that is still unknown. At the moment I am sticking to replacing attacks that aren't needed; who's going to miss the spell "escape"?

[riry0ku]

Awesome work. Though I'd agree with NFITC1 in that the animation you used for Aero 2 should be used for Aero3 instead. I'm a big fan of wind magic, I'd love to try this out myself! 5 stars!

[armorvil]

Wow, well done ! :D

I thought one couldn't give an enemy's magic graphical effect to a "kernel" magic, but you managed to do it !

*Thumbs up*
