I've mentioned this before and it's also stated during the Bootleg installation.
To prevent lag, enable PBO in ff7_opengl.cfg:
    use_pbo = yes

This might not work on some older video cards.

I am stuck at this part :(

Modifying & Compiling LGP Archive
    NOTE: To prepare the .lgp archives, copy and replace model files as instructed.
        Afterward, use lgp.exe to compile the archives.  Please remain patient while compiling.
            Field files go in C:\temp\char\
            Battle files go in C:\temp\battle\
            Minigame files go in C:\temp\mini\
            World files go in C:\temp\world\
            Magic files go in C:\temp\magic\
            Flevel files go in C:\temp\flevel\


I dont get what do i need to do here... I was following the tutorial step by step and now I am stuck..

Any help is great ^^ Thanks!

You can download and run the installer. It will do it all for you.

You are not the first one. We will make it clear.

We are looking for something big before the 0037 release!

So far, between the 0036 release and what is done now, there are improvements, mainly in the code and stuff you won't notice at first. Some bugs fixed.

Trust me though, coding Bootleg (and even debugging for me) is way harder than it is for you to follow the tutorial. We just make it so it's easier to install for anyone.

Ultimate goal : One-file download BIG Remade FF7 to download and install. That probably won't be before a while, maybe not before 0120! Until then, just enjoy easy installation.

Thank you. I really appreciate what you are doing for ff7 fans and players :)


btw.. The Remix Mod comes with the ff7102zx.zip  ? (1.02 patch) Because it does not appear in the Mod List of BFE .. Just asking :P

Got it working! Everything is fine. (Windows 7 - 32 Bits)

Thanks!

Will post some screenshots later :)

Except for the project Overhaul M004



any help ?

Fixed (Thanks Vgr):
Don't enable 9999 break on opengl file ! just keep it at:
Code: [Select]
# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = no

On another side my suggestion:

TIP: I recommend you to use the highest resolution your screen can :)  I was using 1152 * 864 and the GUI was not showing right and the fonts were pixelated... Then I changed it to my highest res that was 1280*1024 and everything was fixed :)




Well now its working pretty fine so here is an screenshot :) !

Hey guys, quick question.

I downloaded bootlegger and a lot of the files from the big list last night, couldnt get everything running properly. Before I flood everyone with a million questions,

Are the links in the big list that are just black required, supported, included or obsolete files?


Thanks so much!

Black are the files that aren't supported (yet) in Bootleg.

Do you use win7 ? if so remember to configure bootleg.exe "run as administrator" and also disable the antivirus when installing, because there are some files that are detected as a virus, and most of av's autodelete them making trouble in the installation.

Before you click RUN BOOTLEG in BFE, uncheck REMOVED GLITCHED under FIELD TEXTURES.
There is a problem that can hang the installation on some systems.
This is fixed for the upcoming release.
I'm holding out for the new Menu Overhaul and OpenGL driver.

Alright I installed Bootleg 0036 and when I select Game Mode Normal in the Bootloader weird things happen. I fight a dog-like enemy instead of the soldiers getting off the platform and I faced the scorpion boss as a random battle in the mako reactor.

Any reasons as to why this is happening?

Ah thanks man, that had to have been it! I dont have the time to sit down and try it right now, but I will for sure. Unless waiting for this upcoming release would be worth it in your opinion?

anyways, thanks so much for the help, really. Btw, has anyone played through the Lost Wing mode?

I did on the psx version and i must say it is pretty good and has alot of newly made materia and weapon stat change, enemy changes if you don't like it Bootlegher allows you to switch to other game difficulty mods especially the popular gjoerulv hardcore mod.

The Lost Wings mod is awesome! I converted it for the PC version, but it slightly differs from the PSX one in some points. Nothing major or susceptible of breaking the game though.

The version of Bootloader I included in 0036 is broken.
It was a test version.
A working and improved version of Bootloader is scheduled for release when the next wave of mods hits Qhimm.

Hey Pit,

I am having a problem downloading the file MOVIE.zip. It is one of the only files that is not hosted on Mediafire or MegaUpload and the download button on the website (http://uploaded.to/file/uic6or) seems to be broken. After clicking the 'Free Download' button, entering the two security words and hitting download, it gives me the message "starting download..." and then proceeds to revert back to the original 'Free Download' button without initializing the download.

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but I did not see anything about it in the forums. I tried searching for a mirror or a torrent of the file on Google, but came up empty. I have been working on downloading all of the mod files for about 3 weeks (I am working with a 20 kb/s connection) and I am so close to having all of them ready for the release of 0037. Do you know of another website that hosts the MOVIE.zip file?

Can't wait to play!

Thanks man.

Movie.zip contains the original Rumbah intro and reactor one movies.
It's only necessary if you use the Bootleg options for the FMV cutscenes.
If movie.zip is missing, Bootleg installs alternate FMV's.

Here is an alternate Google Docs link for Movies.zip.
I've also created a Bootloader patch to fix the terribly broken Bootloader included in the 0036 archive.


MOVIE.zip               Rumbah       New Opening and Mkup Movies             Qhimm FILE MIRROR

Bootloader0036b.zip     PitBrat      Bootloader Patch                              FILE

There is no need for a torrent of the Remix. Once APZ releases his new Cloud, the Remix will be totally removed from Bootleg, the Qhimm forums and any mirrors as long as possible.

Hey Vgr,

Any word about APZ's new Cloud? The Remix Installer is the last file that I have to download before I can run Bootleg and it seems that the link is now broken (http://fire.snigsclan.com/dragon/tite/Final_Fantasy_VII_Remix_v2-5-1_Installer.exe). I actually tried to torrent it, but there are no seeders, unfortunately. Has it been removed, as you stated above?

Thanks man.

Btw.. Thanks for your quick responses Pit and Lionsmane.
