Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Version 1.6 of Limit Break is now available. This release adds the option to choose between upscaled *AND* extended or upscaled only backgrounds. Upscaled only will make backgrounds that were not wide enough display in 4:3. Aspect ratio is now directly controlled through the Game Driver settings. 1136
Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Here are a few examples comparing SYW upscales with Cosmos Limit Break ones. SYW prioritizes sharpness but tends to over-smooths details, while Limit Break tries preserve as much texture detail as possible (open in new tab and zoom in to better see the difference). #ff7 #finalfantasy #mods 2163
Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Happy to announce version 1.5 of Cosmos Limit Break. This is the biggest update yet. It replaces all previous SYW backgrounds with newly upscaled ones that better preserve texture detail and have been manually edited to fix badly upscaled parts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gyo... #ff7 #modsyoutube.com[FF7] Cosmos Limit Break v.1.5 TrailerYouTube video by Cosmos 2123

Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 01/12/2024It seems the FF8 modding party has started without me so I'll self-invite myself with this half-broken true widescreen support contribution. #ff8 #finalfantasy #mods 4133
Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Lighting is one of the many things borked in the PC version of FF7. Compared to PSX, the PC version had light directions incorrectly inverted in every map. Sometime last year I made a fix for this that is enabled by default if you use FFNx / 7thHeaven. #ff7 #finalfantasy #mods 1324
Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 23/11/2024The last addition to FF7 analog controls is being able to scroll the camera using the right stick. In most cases it's just a cool gimmick but some times you can peek into parts of the backgrounds that would not be visible during normal gameplay. #ff7 #finalfantasy #mods 4378
Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Another cool thing of the FF7 analog controls is the ability to rotate the battle camera with the right analog stick and zoom in/out with the analog triggers. It is implemented so that scripted camera still work and to remember the last camera position to go back to. #ff7 #finalfantasy #mods 712515
Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Real-time lighting was my first contribution to the FF7 modding scene about 4 years ago. It's been nice seeing so many people playing the game with this one. #ff7 #mods 182
Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 10/11/2024The idea for analog controls came from looking at this circular UI element in Makou Reactor that looks like a gamepad stick. This is actually what the game uses to know what direction the player moves. Overriding this variable + some math allowed to have 256 directions instead of 8. #ff7 #mods 251
Cosmos @cosmosxiii.bsky.social · 09/11/2024Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. Cosmos: Hold my beer! #ff7 #sephiroth 394
