tifalockheart1983,
Don't use any path names that contain spaces.
This bug is fixed for the next release.

ineedhelp,
Your graphics card is not compatible with the latest mods.

Hello pitbrat how can I help you with my graphics card issue you have let me know I will try my best to help out dude. Here i a link to the graphics card specs if that is any help. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-330M.22437.0.html.

Also The path I installed ff7 in was c:\final fantasy 7 I created that path myself thinking from what I read on the forums here that the standered path would not work the c:\programmes\x86\squaresoft\final fantasy 7 is that an issue, because the rest installed fine but bootleg with the mods I wanted instaled fine but final update was hanging and not doing anything.

Alright, thanks. Can you direct me to a list of system requirements for the overall ff7 mod?, if it's not too much trouble for you. Once again, thanks.

Requirements about 512 meg ram a graphics card from the last 6 years should be fine as well CPU Pentium 3 or higher but since the even with the graphics improvement the core game engine is the same so you don't really need that fast of a CPU processor and internet connection as well. Also a point to note ATI graphics cards may cause a few more problems than nvidia cards. Apologize for the double post.

There was a talk about this when 0038 first released. It starts on page 42. Did you install Mode Switching - All Mods and try to play Hardcore Mode with Menu Overhaul?

Yes actually I take it that's the problem. I never tried hardcore til now figured it would be cool

And you still can! Just install Gjoerulz's Hardcore Mod as your standalone difficulty. I believe the 0039 release will fix it to be used with Mode Switching.

I read somewhere here that you need a dedicated video card from the Nvidia 200 series or newer. I don't do AMD, so no clue there.

BitPrat can probably confirm this?

PitBrat · « **Reply #1305 on:** 2012-06-13 20:43:57 »

nlee1201,
You may need to disable compatibility mode for FF7.exe. Some systems don't like running the .exe in compatibility mode.
Also, try running the game with the SAFE setting in Bootloader.

ineedhelp,
Did you mods folder also beging with C:\final fantasy . . .
Don't use a mod path with spaces in the name.

Yep, I used no spaces in any of the path folders. I'll update my drivers sometime later and then see if anything changes.

OKay, will do. Thanks.

Does anyone know roughly how long the updating process take for updating remix files and repairing models part of the installation I am using a folder with no spaces at all in it and still just hangs there. Also pitbrat you said that my graphics card is not compatible with some of the newer mods is that you think that could be causing me issues with insallation.

P.S Any idea on a rough ETA of version 39 of the bootlegger mod cheers for the help.

Just for know, is it possible to make a pack with everything? Cause a torrent download for it should be useful

PitBrat · « **Reply #1310 on:** 2012-06-13 23:02:34 »

No, not possible to make a pack containing all mods.
The torrent would be over 21GB.
Also, some mod creators have requested that their work not be redistributed.

tifalockheart1983,
The TEMP folder might have spaces in the path. This error is fixed for the next release.

I'm currently waiting on the new Red XIII model before I release 0039. I would also like to wait for the new version of FF7Music. I will release 0039 by the end of the month even if these 2 mods are not ready.

Thanks dude I think version 39 will solve my issues so I will wait for that keep up the awesome pitbrat this is an awesome tool.

nlee1201 · « **Reply #1313 on:** 2012-06-14 00:38:24 »

Thanks for your reply PitBrat, but I've tried both suggestions without success

. Do you think you could take a look at my APP.LOG and crash.dmp files? Here are links:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/i20rwg0wkx7qk03/APP.LOG

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6crrz4ugiyi8nhm/crash.dmp

Before each reinstall I've cleaned the registry so I don't think that's the problem. Does running the Bootloader with safe settings disable the modified menu? Maybe I should try reinstalling the mods without the menu screen being modified because that's where it seems to run into problems. I've enabled full control in the security options for the Final Fantasy VII folder so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm pretty sure my FF7 discs are fine because they were running before installing the mods.

ineedhelp · « **Reply #1314 on:** 2012-06-14 01:13:53 »

Okay, I have solved it! I left out Menu Overhaul and the overlapped disappeared like it was magic.

ineedhelp · « **Reply #1315 on:** 2012-06-15 07:04:40 »

Damn that's weird! I installed the whole thing again and now everything works flawlessly. However, just one tiny issue, and I tried looking everywhere for answer, but I haven't found one. Has the issue of Aeris' attack sound been brought up? She makes that sound attack voice that I think Barrett and Tifa use to make. Has that been fix yet or no?

Seems that everything installed fine for me besides bootleg said that some remix files were missing and i reinstalled remix and tried it again and it still said that, but everything works fine until i go into battle mode and then my screen goes black with the music still playing and freezes, need a bit of help please and thank you

Niverive · « **Reply #1319 on:** 2012-06-16 09:05:55 »

I'm not sure if this is an issue but, I installed many mods, I did a "FULL" install but changed a few models and music settings, also changed difficulty mod to Gjoerulv Hardcore 1.0.5 and whenever someone has a status effect they seem to have almost no accuracy. I was in the Mythril Mines grinding out limit breaks and Yuffie and Tifa were poisoned, with one of those Crawlers left the entire party missed like 10 times in row. It almost feels like physical attacks are almost not worth it half the time, I have to spam alot of magic lol.

Also not really a huge issue for me I was able to get past it, but sometimes while I was in the upper floors of the Shinra Building sometimes I would fight 2 Sword Dances, one on each side, but one of them would have the bottom part of a Hammer Blaster (I think its called). But the worse issue is when I got in a fight with 2 Sword Dances, and one Hammer Blaster which was glitched on the side, it could attack at the same time as the Sword Dances, and also if I killed it first it would freeze the game.

I thought I'd post it here since I don't know which mod might be affecting the game in these ways.

jovonteslater92 · « **Reply #1320 on:** 2012-06-16 10:58:03 »

nevermind i figured it out thanks

PitBrat · « **Reply #1321 on:** 2012-06-16 12:58:26 »

Niverive,
These issues are most likely related to the Hardcore mod. This mod adds new enemy models and significantly increases the difficulty.
I check into the glitched models.

jovonteslater92,
Don't install The Remix. Simply leave The Remix installation files in the MODS folder. Bootleg will install all the mods.
The FF7 game folder should contain a fresh, maximum install of FF7 without any modifications.

Niverive · « **Reply #1322 on:** 2012-06-16 15:00:21 »

I know and I love the difficulty, however it just seems something is amiss when randomly people's accuracy drops to near 0%, even some limit breaks miss during these accuracy drops, I just want to make sure its normal and not a bug

I also want to thank you PitBrat for all the time and effort you put into the Bootleg, because it makes modding so much easier than doing it manually.

e1sunz · « **Reply #1323 on:** 2012-06-16 19:14:20 »

14 days to go for 0039 man this is gonna feel like months for me

PitBrat · « **Reply #1324 on:** 2012-06-17 00:24:43 »

I waiting because I really want to include a new model in this release.
I'd be happy with either the new Apz Cloud or Red XIII.

Grimmy has 3 models out: Cloud, Tifa and Yuffie.
I can't assimilate them into the Bootleg download, but maybe he'd allow me to make an install option if enough people ask politely.
