7th Heaven/Remako problems

[tomimt]

I've been trying to get Remako mod working on Steam version of FF7, but no matter what I do, the mod doesn't seem to work. I've followed both the official Remako installation guide as well as 7th Heaven guide, but no dice. In fact, I can't get any of the graphics mods to work.

7th Heaven does seem to work, as when I turn on things like bloom or frame counter, they do show up. The mods, however, don't work, no matter what.

I do have to add, that the game doesn't give me any errors. It loads up fine, I can start a game, I can load the game. It just acts like there are no mods.

Well, if you stuck to the guides, I don't really know what to tell you. You should get at least something if you did everything right. You did start every app as admin? I had some issues with a few mods but not the way you describe. - The only thing I did, that wasn't mentioned in the guides was editing ff7_opengl.cfg (direct mode = on) and adding the word "direct" in 7th-heaven-settings, under Extra Folder.

Its just a shot in the dark.

Well, that got all the other mods working, but still no cigar with Remako. It shows up in the mod list and is set activated as the first one, but still, it doesn't show up in the game.

I am just guessing here. Have you maybe missed this info from the remako guide:

Install the game in a folder that is NOT Program Files, Program Files (x86) or Users. For example C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII.

Other than that it might have something to do with the load-order. I stuck with the load-order given here (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15520.0) - I skipped the field textures because I guessed it was redundand with remako but I might be wrong. I put Remako above Gameplay - Difficulty and story. Everything seems to work - except that the Jessie-mod uses Tifas battlemodel.

Nope, my Steam folder isn't in the Program Files or users folders and the load order is as it is on qhimm tutorial. And it does't work even if Remako is the only mod I try to load.

Thats really weird. At this point you might check wether the *.iro-modfile is defective. Maybe download it again. Sorry I couldn't help you mate. Too bad, since the mod looks amazing.

I've DL the mod twice already as well as uninstalled it and FF and done the whole installation. I do agree, it is odd that it just doesn't want to work, especially because I can get other mods working. Oh, well.

Any fix on this? I have same issue. All mods work except for remako.

Sorry for the necro but for anyone having this issue You need to create the folders and point to them with 7th heaven as instructed in the remako install.
For me I had to make the Mods\Textures in the ff7 directory and point 7th heaven to it in the config, even though those folders seem to remain empty.

This worked! I have tried and tinkered all day with this. And finally found this post and it worked. Necro isnt always a bad thing :D
