I'm not having any problems with this version!
I think most of the problems stem from either a missing mod file-- even when it's not installed-- or a specific combination of settings.
So far, I've not been able to recreate the errors.
I totally reworked the mod locating routine, so I have my fingers crossed that the problem is solved.
I'm still working on the issue with paths that contain spaces and non U.S. characters.
It might be awhile before every mod installs under those conditions.
In the mean time, I'm adding the ability to disable certain mods.
At least Bootleg will still finish.
I've focused on improving BFE.
There's now a built in mod list that identifies which mods are missing.
I also added presets that are tested to work.
The black bar at the bottom of battle screens is an issue with Aali's OpenGL driver.
A fix is imminent. DLPB and Aali are aware of the problem. They're two of the best modders on the scene.
Just give them some time. Meanwhile, squint your eyes at the end of battles and you'll hardly notice the black bar.
Nightmarish,
I'm not sure what you mean. Bootleg is already a meld of the best--IMHO-- mods. I can't repackage the mods because that's a violation of Qhimm rules.
Bootleg basically recreates the files necessary to patch FF7 with the best mods.
Don't close 'ff7_config.cfg' when it opens. Then you will find .patch folders in the 'bootleg_setup' temp folder.
Same changes are made directly to the FF7 installation folder: flevel.lgp, the mods folder and the movies folder.
No one requested a preview of 0034, so I'll keep working on it for a few more days.
In the meantime,
even if you choose not to install a mod, make sure that
every single Bootleg supported mod setup file is present.
I don't mean every mod from the
big list! Bootleg supported mods are listed in the
Bootleg Readme.
Also, minimize the use of spaces and non U.S. standard characters in path names.
This is the best way to avoid errors and crashes.
Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and beta testing services!
I refer to this forum constantly while I'm working on Bootleg.
