    Skip to 2:00 if you are installing 7th Heaven for the first time.
    My last video has been out of date for a while but the new method is so much simpler that it wasn't really urgent to put this out, but I decided to include some extra steps on how to copy your saves and mods over from an older 7th Heaven install.
    I also wanted this out there to make sure people had something to follow and make sure they're doing it right.
    I hope this helps!

    You can pick any folder to install 7th Heaven. If you don't have a Games folder, just make a folder somewhere else.

    Hey, great work - method worked flawlessly for me with a new install of Steam FF VII. Question for you: is there a command line to use to 'auto play' when 7th Heaven is selected (avoiding the Game Launcher while having all of my selected mods enabled) screen? My only nitpick is trying to click that small 'Play' button whenever I launch into a game. Thanks for the guide!

    • @dotaxis
      @dotaxis  5 месяцев назад +7

      You bet. You can add "/launch /quit" without quotes to the "Launch Options" of the 7th Heaven shortcut in Steam and it'll go straight to the game.

      It should work on Gnome but it won't add a desktop icon or launcher shortcut, and it may create a couple of files specific to KDE that you don't really need to worry about.
      Just don't be alarmed when it throws errors on the "adding desktop and steam shortcuts" bit.

    I managed to install and run 7th deck with all mods running fine, including auto-run with analogue controls. Then foolishly I tried to run og ff7 on my deck thinking my save file would be the same across both versions. Then when I tried to open 7th heaven the steam deck control inputs were not registering no matter what I did. But oddly desktop mode was still running fine. No matter what steam controller inputs changes I made desktop was not working. Now eventually a community layout for 7th heaven control input is working, but auto run no longer works. Is there anything I can do?

    • @dotaxis

    I was able to follow this guide and it worked for me. However, I then accidentally opened the normal ff7 and not 7th heaven today. Now, it utilizes my old character models despite launching 7th heaven. Any way to undo this?

    • @dotaxis
      @dotaxis  5 месяцев назад +1

      You should be able to launch vanilla FF7 without causing problems for 7th Heaven, but you can try just re-running 7thDeck and selecting the same directory you already have 7th Heaven installed in. It will reapply all the fixes to the proton prefix without losing anything, but it will add a second Steam shortcut (which you can remove).

    7th deck does not function for me, there's an error with the curl (no url) and it doesn't end up installing the program because the URL is missing.
    I've installed both ff7 (steam) and 7th heaven, and connected the steam install and the mod library folder, but I can't get 7th heaven to actually launch because it has a disc requirement (in 2024 lol wtf). I've attempted to mount the faux iso in several areas to no avail and cannot seem to get 7H to actually launch the game under any circumstances (I attempted to place the contents of the manually installed 7h into the empty folder the 7th deck bash failed to install too and had no success with that either)

      Not sure why the shortcut creation fails sometimes. If you at least get a desktop icon, you can just click on "Add a non-steam game" in Steam and then browse to the folder you installed 7th Heaven to and select "7th Heaven.sh"
      Do not select a proton version and do not try to select the .exe instead of the .sh
      If these steps are confusing you can try just running the 7thDeck installer again and overwriting your current 7th Heaven directory. It'll preserve any mods you have downloaded.
