Fayttt · 06-23-2006, 12:51 PM

Grrr..I got the file now but it won't go into my registry..

Hyshio · 06-23-2006, 02:06 PM

ok problem solved! If your an ATI graphics card user, like me, your SOL. It has an error with ATI cards. I feel your pain on this as well for anyone who tried.

im using an ATI x800xl and im running fine...? latests drivers too

Hyshio · 06-23-2006, 02:09 PM

The intention w of correcting the trouble on ATI Only shadow test edition corresponded to Area.lst of the List folder
The format of Area.lst is as follows

For example file number (1-1-23), X coordinate, Y coordinate and Z coordinate of initial position. Area name (favorite ones)

This is the trouble the site said it has with ATI cards. Im not sure what to do persay but like you, I also have a new card with updated drivers.

Fayttt · 06-23-2006, 02:16 PM

Stupid file still wont go into my registry -.-

Hyshio · 06-23-2006, 02:17 PM

I still could never get that file, let me see it.

Fayttt · 06-23-2006, 02:19 PM

If you just save the original link at the top of the second page and rename it .rar you can extract it that way.

Hyshio · 06-23-2006, 02:26 PM

It went into mine but still didnt make it work.

Xaoko · 06-23-2006, 02:32 PM

Ahaha! It works! This is awesome, as I would love to prod around the areas outside of the game, but FFXITool doesn't apply textures to the regions, so the zones all ends up being black structures, or nearly completely transparent D:

Anyway, a hello from the hall leading to the throne room of the Empress!

edit: Oh man! It has a primitive special effects viewer! Still *extremely* primitive though. And wow, Alzadaal is such a maze x_x Imagine Sacrarium's Maze, except an entire zone. I just pray the walls don't change position, depending on day!

Hyshio · 06-23-2006, 02:33 PM

Plz someone get this thing to work!

Fayttt · 06-23-2006, 02:53 PM

Aghhhh. Maybe I don't know how to drop it into the registry right ._.

makina323 · 06-23-2006, 03:18 PM

Fayttt all you need to do is double click the file it self-installs

Fayttt · 06-23-2006, 03:23 PM

Yeah Figured that out. Still getting the original black screen then an error.

Kazuki · 06-23-2006, 03:32 PM

If you're having any crashing problems, it's because of video card incompatabilities. I tried to find a way around this, namely a program called 3Danalyze which has fixed similar problems with running the game. For me, it was a no go. My video card is an Intel, so maybe you ATI people would have better luck with the program. A download link is here: http://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/tools/3d_analyze/

I think this is the first time i've been happy that I have a card that makes me want to cry whenever I see Ballad.
