missing BGs, Blacked out text.. with or without mods
4zrael:
So, first of all, thanks so much to this community for all you've done - I know modding and scripting can be incredibly time-consuming, let alone offering help for said work for the layman. Really excited for the remake coming out; I hope to get this stuff working so I can 'prep' :)
Anyway, I followed Tifa's tutorial to the letter, double and triple-checking the mod install order and such. The VERY first time I launched, everything seemed to be working just fine - the opening credits showed with the custom BG I had chosen, new music, etc... I've been playing around a bit since the initial attempt though before writing this and so things are now a bit fuzzy - but the start screen graphic DIDN'T work, and had the blacked out text from the start (blue text box dialogue that looks redacted - anywhere there's text, it's replaced by solid black boxes). Also noticed a "something very bad happened" error, and basically now the credits BG refuses to show no matter the setting (even no change).
The interesting thing, among my varied attempts to get things working, I tried launching game with a fresh profile and _no_ mods [EDIT: a subsequent attempt at this suggests some mods must have been loaded the first time, as I was given a 'no mods loaded' error - however, I tried with JUST music (anxious heart - pro) and gameplay (New Threat) - same deal..] loaded, and encountered the same issue.. even more frustrating, once or twice I was able to get it to work, but it seemed to be independent of any actual settings, as a minor subsequent tweak - and then revert - caused a loss of this success altogether.
My install order / profile currently -

******************************************
I have noticed one consistent thing, and it's the GL_INVALID_ENUM error, specifically at the opening of the game. Thanks for your time in reading this, and any tips or insights into my problem :P
4zrael:
.... Ok, so after some impatience I have decided to reinstall... am I able to safely transfer the added files from the modded folder to the fresh one..? After patch prep from the game converter, of course..? Not looking forward to downloading almost 20 gigs again, would mean my whole day has pretty much been wasted, lol.
If this is possible, though I think I can work out much of it, perhaps some specifics so I don't miss anything would be awesome.
Tsuna:
You don't have to download everything again. Every time they are used they are temporary so nothing really changes. Okay so what did you mess with when things went wrong. If I can find out what changed we can find the solution.
Have you installed anything outside of 7th heaven
4zrael:
Well, on initial install, nothing - I set the mod order, went over some preferences (mostly left to defaults, save for music choice, new threat script, and avatars and BG, etc) ... it didn't really work from the start, though it seems to have only gotten worse, lol. Bear with me, I just made a fresh install literally just a minute ago, about to try patch it fresh and see what happens. Will take better note of settings this time (thanks for your time and reply ^^; )
... No, nothing - I downloaded bootlegger in anticipation, but never ran it and found and went for this instead.
Tsuna:
Okay. Umm. So the game loads. Try it with one mod at a time. The mods should be okay but if it's the same with all the information is helpful.
