My average speed for the download was 2.21 megabytes per second and it took 24 minutes.

I've considered adding the chibi's since the very first release of Bootleg.
You're the first person who has ever asked!
Chibi's are coming soon . . .

This makes me happy

I might be fairly unique among long-time members in this, but I actually prefer the new release. The only mods I ever really used to begin with were Aali's driver for high resolution/bugfixes, and FF7Music to replace that awful midi. Since the new version can do both of those anyway, I really appreciate the overall lack of headaches that comes with it.

Now that they can both be modded equally, I prefer either. You speak of headaches, and my only one is that all the mods for main characters are a mash-up of different arts and styles. Maybe it's a girl thing, but I really like to match. I am still grateful for what we have though 

I can't fathom playing this game now without FacePalmer's Field Pack, Unified Model Installer, and Menu Overhaul. They are just amazing, and I'm very glad that they work with the new version.

It's okay Omzy, I will wait for your new download. If anything else pops up in my playthroughs, I will be sure to let you know.

I will work on cleaning it up and adding it to Tifa's Bootleg Tutorial sometime the next week or so. Enjoy!

FF7 Tools / Re: WIP a patch to convert new FF7 to old

« on: 2012-08-18 23:48:46 »

Okay, I renamed a USB stick to FF7DISC1, but the game's disc check still wants me to insert disc. I suppose I have to change a path somewhere, but I dont know which.

Edit: I looked back and found some advice given to another user to change the path in the registry file, but I cant find that.

The registry file also comes with Kranmer's converter download. Open it with notepad and edit the drive path to equal that of the USB drive. Save it once it's changed, then close it out. Next, double-click open it and hit Yes... voila

THis is probably a dumb question, but how do I redownload FF7 after I've bought it. I'm trying to find it but it just keeps bringing me to the Buy page..I'm logged in and have it registered..

You should have downloaded a Final_Fantasy_VII_DownloadManager after you purchased it. If you need to re-download that, find your order confirmation email. In there is a link to findmyorder.com. Go there, enter the information it asks for from your order confirmation email, and it will send you to the page to re-download the Final_Fantasy_VII_DownloadManager.

MISSING SCENE

I have found a scene that looks to be untouched even with the latest patches. It is Mideel after the Lifestream has wiped it out. You can view it in my video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijIbfnJpFCY#t=0m20s

Hopefully it's a quick fix for Omzy

but im getting little red error messages from time to time at the bottom of the screen.

You can disable those messages in Bootloader or manually in ff7_opengl.cfg.

I personally don't mind spending $10 to help a company I love. It's not in my blood to post all the negatives about them. I like to focus on the positives because after all, they did produce two of my favorite games of all time in Final Fantasy VII and Chrono Trigger.

lol Squall

I still like the mods here on the original version. Since we're talking about FMV's, Rumbah 1280 Smooth are my preferred best.

@Sebuzzie

Bootleg is currently not going to work for the re-release version. You will have to manage installing what you want individually and manually. Check for updates in this post: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13424.0

It will take some time to catch up, but don't stress over it. Learn and enjoy what you read. It is actually pretty fun to see how it's all done

How to guarantee people will pirate the game
Step 1: Do not offer the game to everyone
Step 2: Include horrible DRM
Step 3: Permalink it to an obscure online-store
Step 4: Offer nothing of value compared to the old product if it's a re-release
Step 5: Have massive problems on launch to the point where people can't play their legitimately bought game

VOILA

I don't understand Steps 4 & 5. Tossing aside the crappy midi music, there have been no hiccups with the actual gameplay. The original PC's main issue was stability, which seems stable now.

what are the actual achievements

I have seen achievements for first time use of limit breaks. I am sure ultimate weapons will get them, along with all the rare optional stuff.

@Antonia - Did MO.exe get picked up by your anti-virus during any previous installs? I have to disable mine during installs because it gets picked up and interrupted every time. Check your quarantine and if so, try deleting and re-downloading the specific mod. I'm sorry if this isn't the solution. Salk had a similar issue and we couldn't resolve it
