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of mods and all the tutorials, and it's easy for these mods to contradict each other and finding out which one is out of date and such.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.

I thought that might be the case, but after running a completely fresh install and pulling the flevel.lpg file straight from the disc, this is the result I'm getting.  The rest of the Menu interface is working as it should according to the various youtube vids posted.

You need to place it in dlpb-backup folder.  My installer will always use the files in there aftera  1st install to protect your game files.

Check if it still does it after that.  If it does, the error has been corrected with M05b already.

No dice.  :-(  Checked and deleted the old flevel file and replaced it with the one on my disc and error is exactly the same.  My antivirus isn't running and none of my other mods are installed yet so I can't really tell where or if i messed something up. 

I think I can get by with the rest of the Overhaul working as is for now.  Great work btw! The FFX style is boss!

Assuming you placed the file in the dlpb-backup folder and then installed again and same issue... the problem is def fixed for next release :)  It won't affect you anyway.

note:  I no longer recommend installing Retranslation Project from this installer.  It is missing vital updates, a huge overhaul with the localisation, and the overhaul to menu based names.  Basically in its R003 form, it was pretty shoddy. I suggest waiting for R04.  R04 will be a mostly completed localisation up to Junon and will have the bridge dialogue at  Mt. Corel reinstated and viewable for the first time in the non Japanese game.

sup, so before you ask I:
1.) Installed the game through the original discs
2.) Installed the 1.02 patch
3.) Installed Aali's custom driver (got confirmation it was working)
4.) Installed M005A
5.) Set modpath= DK
 yet still I encounter a problem on startup. When the Eidos logo animation passes, I am either met with a black screen, or a very dim image of the Continue/New game screen. However, when I set modpath= none, I am able to startup with no problem, the trouble with this is that when I go into battle, things become very laggy and text gets crammed together. Any advice?

Kaisle,
What video card and operating system are you using?
Windows Vista and Intel GPU's have trouble running new mods.

Make sure your files were not set to read only. Make sure the drive you are installing on has lets say 200MB free.  Is Aali's driver also installed correctly?
