Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

« on: 2013-03-29 08:11:07 »

Hey all,

I've started an FAQ on page 1: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13212.msg183582#msg183582

We get asked a lot of the same, or similar questions, over and over, and I think it'd be best to archive them. If you see anything in particular that is either posted a lot, or has a really rare and complicated solution, let me know so that I can add it to the FAQ.

One that already pops into my head is about the foreign language support. Kompass tends to answer a lot of those questions. I just need to find the time to go back and read the dozen or so pages again since Bootleg 040 released.

Thanks to any who help 

Thanks for the link to the FAQ, I know now that despite my log posted on page 22 - I can't play FFVII with bootleg. I'm on a Macbook Air, as such my graphics card is Intel HD 4000 and can't shoulder enough RAM. Shame, such a shame.

In any case, thanks very much for the hard work.

Ah, so it is the install location that has done this?

I'm no expert, but if it is advised against in the install instructions (see OP) - then it must be for a reason. Could be permission troubles, or just Windows being a turd. Either way, why chance. Uninstall and reinstall, friend. It's a process of elimination, if it still doesn't work - then at least we know what it isn't

Oh, excellent topic. I'm about to replay FFVII for first time in a long time, and I haven't played it since adolescence (14, 15-ish).

I remember the story pretty well, and must have read a wiki some time after. But there's probably tons of dialogue and/or plot elements that flew by me and now strike me as strange or shallow - so I'll be sure to take a look at this. It'll be good for laughs. Thanks for sharing.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

I was hoping I would not have to make a post, but i'm not having any luck getting this thing to work.

I've been through the whole procedure as best I can. The mod list is all yellow and green, I run the mod installation and no errors came up. I have the two launch icons on the desktop. I open up bootloader and get the 'play' and 'configure' buttons.

When I click play, I get a unhandled exception error, where it says 'could not find file 'C:\program files (x86)\Square Enix\FINAL FANTAYS VII\ff7.exe

I know the program files folder was not the best place to install, but I made the installation before I decided to give the modding thing a go.

I imagine i've made a rather fundamental mistake, but I don't know how to rectify it.

Seems simple. Uninstal FFVII, move mods and reinstalled FFVII to c/games/ffVII and do it over. Shouldn't take more than five minutes?

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

I'll be sure to post my log tomorrow, as soon as someone let's me know where i can find it. 

My problem is as follows, on every single attempt (apart from one) at installing the mods it fails at the same spot. I tried two versions of Win7 and one version of XP. After the Phoenix Rejuvenation Project mods are installed, it proceeds to Grimmy's PRP Addons, after 2 - 4 lines of '0 installed' it stops, and hangs there for an indefinite amount of time until I close it mid-process. Once, I don't remember how, I got to the end of the mod installation and it finished properly. But when I try to run it, no matter what iteration I choose (nightmare, remix or Gjoerulv) it force closes before even starting (ffVII has stopped working).

I am running a virtual machine from a Macbook Air, could that be the issue? Or, could it be that my pal CD (now ISO) was old and had scratches on it - could that corrupt the data on the ISO? The latter I mention only because I can't even run FFVII vanilla (with no mods installed via bootleg), the title screen comes up but I can't move the cursor (pointed hand) to select new game.

Update, no app.log but a bootleg.txt - is this what you are referring too?
