I can lead a horse to water.........

I have a better idea... I am now gonna become ignorant (like Aali, it's the best policy).  Any silly questions... no answer.  I think that will prove amusing... well, for me it will... when others have to answer questions that are answered on the very first page.

You have cleverly put the readme behind the installer

Oh, how dastardly of me!  This must me stopped! HAHhhaahahaha!

It'll be lulzy when some guy asks his question over and over, then starts messaging random people asking why he's being ignored. :p

You seem to have an attitude problem, champ. Now, I'm happy to agree that Dan's response was understandable - after all, the 'strongest' thing I ever said to him was "Whoa, calm down" - and I've been as guilty of snapping at clueless newbies as anyone - but I'm not happy to accept your tone. You're trying to escalate a fairly minor exchange into a full-blown argument, and that's not something I'm going to allow as a moderator.

So drop it. Now.

I'm channeling the Obesebear of old, aren't I?


Ah, the good ol' days.


Dan, you'll find things are much easier (on the internet) when you ignore the lazy and ignorant.  Real life may be a different story though...

Wasn't my intent to come off as an ass. I'm sorry for giving that impression.

5.  Do NOT run this installer without first deactivating your Anti-Virus software.


FAQ seems pretty clear to me and that isn't even the readme. Anyway enough of this nonsense.   :mrgreen:

You didn't come off as an ass, just angry. And I can sympathise; I've taken the exact same position around clueless newbies in the past. Don't worry about it.

If this has been answered, I apologize. Retranslation project is not installing with Bootleg. Is there a fix?

The style switcher isn't working for me. I'm not sure what the problem is or how to correctly set the .dll up.

Right now I'm using bootlegger, and in the Bootloader, under "Plugins" tab, External Library is checked and has "Multi.dll" in the text box.

In the FF7 folder, I have the LOADR folder with 3 files, one of them being switcher.dll.

Also, in the ff7_opengl.cfg file, "load_library = Multi.dll" is at the very bottom.

I read the very first post, and noticed not to use Remixer. Could that be the problem? I was just following the Bootlegger tutorial. Things can get confusing with the insane amount of mods and all the tutorials, and it's easy for these mods to contradict each other and finding out which one is out of date and such. I just need some help. Also, is it possible to uninstall just the menu overhaul, or to be able to switch to the Classic FF7 menu style? Thanks

Nevermind, I thought the menu overhaul had to deal with the overall Menu system. I see now it's just the Battle menu. The switcher works. What mod is responsible for the game's overall blue menu system?

I noticed that when I install the Menu Overhaul for a second time and use the Hardcore setting, it restores the scene.bin file from backup-dlpb.
I installed Menu Overhaul the first time for a vanilla FF7.
Then I installed Hardcore and Menu Overhaul again, this time with the Hardcore setting.
Afterward scene.bin was the original version from the vanilla install.

I saw a post in the ReTranslation thread that reminded me of this issue.  It seems more appropriate to post it here.

The problem is the scene file (and poss kernel) that his hardcore mod uses is corrupt in some way, or at the least, has a major issue.  TS will not read it because it is strict on those types of things.

Basically Hardcore mod is not compatible with translation mod without him fixing all the issues with his files.

Read the first post and FAQ.  Then download the installer, read the readme in the license section.   Reinstall.

Everything you need is there already.  If the installer and readme cannot help you, it is unlikely I can.

Hiya, and thank you for the much desired work.  I'm currently experiencing 1 technical difficulty which I cannot find a solution.  btl_win_b_l_12.png , the countdown and number input display graphic. If its positioned top left of the in-game screen then it displays properly. If it is displayed elsewhere, only the top section of the graphic is visible, as if it were positioned too far down. Everything else is flawless. It wasn't much of a bother until trying to open Shinra Mansion Safe. The dialog box appears and the small visible layer of numbers is displayed underneath the dialog box. Any suggestions towards what would effect this would be awsome, ty in advance. ^^

I've been playing through my game and decided it didn't look cool enough so I tried my hand at installing the Menu Overhaul (m005a). I've been having a similar issue to Cannasteve with not being able to get the beautifully made backgrounds for the general game menu.  I have tried this with a clean install and with Aali's Custom Driver's installed and configured.  Please before just telling me to read the FAQ/Readme just know that I have several times and have not been able to find any info pertaining to my particular issue.

This is the log I get after install is complete:

Code: [Select]
Error in startmap: Incorrect number of entries: 2/11
Error in blackbg2: Incorrect number of entries: 24/42
Error in blackbg3: Incorrect number of entries: 18/28
Error in blackbg4: Incorrect number of entries: 54/72
Error in blackbg7: Incorrect number of entries: 16/25
Error in blackbgi: Incorrect number of entries: 10/17
Error in blackbgk: Incorrect number of entries: 16/21
Error in elminn_1: Incorrect number of entries: 16/17

Any help would be greatly appericated!  :-)

elminn_1 error is normal.  The other ones are caused because you have not used a clean flevel (you must have used M004?  or something...)  Those maps above will not affect anything.  There should be no problem.\

edit.  Seems that info is not in the readme anymore?  My fault this time.  I instructed to use clean files if you had used an older installer.  I will place that back in the readme and FAQ.
