<FAQ>

-Technical Issues-

1. The font looks all squished!

Download the font files here:

(https://www.mediafire.com/?lz0zmukcn7389ev)

2. The music won't play!

In Windows 7, simply right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar

and click "Open Volume Mixer", then make sure that 7th Stand User
isn't muted as Skype and other programs have a nasty tendency of
fiddling with it. In all other versions of Windows, go to Sound and
Audio Devices in the Control Panel and select Sound Playback under
the Audio tab. Click "Volume..." and increase the volume tab
labeled SW Synth. If you still aren't hearing music, see below.

3. The music is playing, but it's just the drum track/is off key!

MIDI music isn't supported well in new versions of Windows.

CoolSoft's VirtualMIDISynth (http://tinyurl.com/3rqkw7r) should fix
the problem. If the default soundfont still has issues, then you
can download one a free one from the CoolSoft website.
 *Actually, even if your music plays fine, you may want to do this
anyway as the default MIDI instruments are very simplistic and can
be improved greatly by using a higher quality GM Soundfont. This
gameplay video (http://youtu.be/FuqEiYNP9uU) will give you an idea
of how the BGM sounds with the NTONYX 32MB Stereo Set, available
here: (http://www.ntonyx.com/sf_f.htm)

4. I get a window saying "DirectDraw Error(DDERR_UNSUPPORTED)"

whenever I try to run the game!

Some video cards don't like the way that RPG Maker handles full-
screen mode. There's an easy step-by-step guide to fix this issue
here. (http://imgur.com/a/eJu3C) If that doesn't solve the problem,
you can always download RPG Maker 2000 (link not provided) and run
the game in test mode through the editor.

5. Is there a way to run the game on Mac?

At present, the only way to play RPG Maker games on Mac is through
an emulator such as Parallels or Boot Camp.

6. What about Windows 8?

I don't know a single person who has Windows 8 so it's anyone's

guess. Sorry.

7. Is there a way to disable fullscreen mode?

Pressing F4 during gameplay will toggle windowed mode, and pressing

F5 when in windowed mode will toggle the game's resolution between
640x480 and 320x240.

8. The game is lagging!

Running the game in Windowed mode and switching to 320x240

resolutions using the above instructions in question 5 can help
the game run smoother. Changing your display from True Color to
High Color/16-bit in the Control Panel can also help greatly.

9. My character is moving in random directions, and I'm not pressing

any buttons!

Unplug any joypads, external mice, or other peripherals and try

pressing one of the arrow keys on the keyboard or numpad. If you
don't regain control of your character, restart your computer
with all peripherals disconnected.

10. My saves vanished or crash on loading...

RPG Maker 2000 has a rare bug where it will sometimes delete or
corrupt saves seemingly at random. As a result, it's highly
recommended that you periodically back up your saves (the files in
the game folder labeled Save0*.lsd) in a separate folder.

-Other Questions-

11. Can I play this game even if I haven't read all of JoJo's Bizarre
Adventure?
 This game is designed so that fans who haven't read past Stardust
Crusaders can enjoy it without fear of spoilers. Some characters
may make appearances, and there are some textual references to
later parts, but no significant plot points are revealed.

As for people who haven't read JoJo's at all, reading Part 3 is

highly recommended, but not necessary - just be aware that as the
game follows the original story relatively closely, spoilers are a
given.

12. When does my nickname get used?

Party members will start to use your nickname once they reach the
required amount of Friendship Points (10). You can check Friendship
Points using the radio.

13. Why can't I customize what I say during combination attacks?

Steel will only give you the option to customize your rush attacks
once you've met the requirements for combination attacks. Raise
your FP to 14 and add someone to your party, and you will then be
able to set your rush attack lines through the nickname/catchphrase
customization menu.

14. (Anything not mentioned above)

I am always working to make the English 7th Stand User experience

better and am always available to contact about issues with the
game. You can get in touch with me at brandnewscooby@gmail.com.
