The Bootleg Edit for Final Fantasy VII
A Tutorial Documenting the Installation of the Community's Best Mods
Version: v.21
Date: 2011.11.01
Author: PitBrat
Target: Update and enhance Final Fantasy VII with the latest and greatest mods the community has released.
Version History:
Description:
These are installation instructions to tweak and update Final Fantasy VII beyond what the Remix 2.5.1 project offers.
I use only officially released modification for Final Fantasy VII. These mods are not my work, but the work of talented artists and programmers from around the world. Because the mods are the intellectual property of others, I will not repackage the files for distribution with this tutorial. All of the files are available via http://www.qhimm.com and the Google search engine.
Final Fantasy VII looks and sounds even more magnificent with this recipe of modifications. Most changes are purely cosmetic. Any mod altering gameplay is entirely optional. Polish up that dusty old Remixed Final Fantasy VII with a Bootleg Edit by PitBrat.
PitBrat's Installation Instructions

NOTE: This patch modifies 'ff7.exe' and is incompatible with other patches that modify 'ff7.exe'

Aalis Custom OpenGL Driver 0.7.11b (Required)
FILE: ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zip
Extract to and replace files in the Final Fantasy VII install folder
If you're using an NVIDIA Video card, the nolight shaders require modification.
Aali's 'everything is made of light' fix for NVIDIA cards:
Use Notepad to open the file .\shaders\nolight\main.frag
Move the line 'texture_color = texture2D(tex, gl_TexCoord[0].st);' to above the IF statement:
texture_color = texture2D(tex, gl_TexCoord[0].st);
if(texture)
Obsolete Fix:
Don't use this fix unless nothing else works and you absolutely require shaders.
Xion999's 'everything is made of light' fix for NVIDIA cards:
Copy and replace the files .\shaders\main.frag and .\shaders\main.vert into .\shaders\nolight\
Aali's OpenGL Settings
FILE: OpenGLconfig.bat
NOTE: For security, save ff7_opengl.cfg to the desktop. Then copy the file from the desktop and paste with replace into the FF7 install folder.

Insure music plugin is loaded in ff7_opengl.cfg file (remove the # infront of music_plugin):
An optimized ff7_opengl.cfg is included later in this document
Important Edits for ff7_opengl.cfg:

music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp
# Disable Error Notifications

Description:
These are installation instructions to tweak and update Final Fantasy VII beyond what the Remix 2.5.1 project offers.
I use only officially released modification for Final Fantasy VII. These mods are not my work, but the work of talented artists and programmers from around the world. Because the mods are the intellectual property of others, I will not repackage the files for distribution with this tutorial. All of the files are available via http://www.qhimm.com and the Google search engine.
Final Fantasy VII looks and sounds even more magnificent with this recipe of modifications. Most changes are purely cosmetic. Any mod altering gameplay is entirely optional. Polish up that dusty old Remixed Final Fantasy VII with a Bootleg Edit by PitBrat.
PitBrat's Installation Instructions
Required Files
Final Fantasy VII (Buy the game!)

Aalis Custom OpenGL Driver 0.7.11b (Required)
FILE: ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zip
Extract to and replace files in the Final Fantasy VII install folder
If you're using an NVIDIA Video card, the nolight shaders require modification.
Aali's 'everything is made of light' fix for NVIDIA cards:
Use Notepad to open the file .\shaders\nolight\main.frag
Move the line 'texture_color = texture2D(tex, gl_TexCoord[0].st);' to above the IF statement:
texture_color = texture2D(tex, gl_TexCoord[0].st);
if(texture)
Obsolete Fix:
Don't use this fix unless nothing else works and you absolutely require shaders.
Xion999's 'everything is made of light' fix for NVIDIA cards:
Copy and replace the files .\shaders\main.frag and .\shaders\main.vert into .\shaders\nolight\
Aali's OpenGL Settings
