1. You're running on Intel HD Graphics. Check the FAQ on how to fix that.

2. Open Bootloader Configure and set the screen resolution equal to your desktop resolution. Fullscreen will default to 640x480 if they aren't equal.

3. Numpad uses the default controls. Start a game and change the controls under Config in the Menu.

I'm not sure what to say about the Tifa and Yuffie models. The Bootleg log clearly shows both the battle and field models being extracted and installed correctly. Perhaps they just don't appear how you thought they would? They do have a similar appearance to the PRP versions, with the hair and face being the noticeable difference.

actually, they are fair bit different, the AC styles are more refined and less blocky, with different colours and facial structures. whereas the PRP versions are just like the unmodded battle models, less blocky than the original field models but still blocky and the colours are more original looking.

for example:

AC style (what I selected)

PRP style (what I got)
http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/7992/yuffieprpclassic.png

so it bothers me that everything else installs right except these 2, anyone else have any idea how to fix that? much appreciated.

EQ2Alyza thank you for this wonderful mod.

I have installed everything right (I hope :D )and the game looks really beautiful.

I have only one question:I have installed italian language,but if I want to take back english i have to reinstall all the modded file,running bootleg?Or maybe I can patch over only the language files?

I told you that you wont get achievements anymore. It's all handled through the FF7Launcher.exe. Possible that with some changes on the old FF7.exe, the old one could be used with it. But I do nothing know about hex editing and I doubt that the persons, who know about these stuff, will investigate it.

I know this might sound bothersome but would any one be able to test the AC style field models for Tifa and Yuffie? I just can't get those 2 to show up, the battle models work but the field models appear as PRP models, if any one can help with that, then I thank you in advance.

Whatever, I will play with no gain achievement and when I finished I start with no mod.

The patch is designed to change an installation with Bootleg.
That someone Covarrs ff7music_install_15112 used then, I have not considered.
I'm afraid you've deleted all the music files ...

Within the folder "Ficedula" itself should be located 26 files and minimum of three folders (Fake_MIDI, mad, plugins).
Other folders (FF7_PFS, OSTRe, AnxiousHeart, ...) should contain the music files if no other folders, you only have one set of music.

Start "FF7music.exe" in the folder "Ficedula", click on "Configure", click on the tab "Files", click the arrow next to the box "Profile" and select there "Rerelease".
Save it and close FF7Music completely.

If you have the file "OSTRe.7z", you can also unpack this music into the folder "Ficedula" and use this profile.

I downloaded the OST Remastered music (couldn't find any Rerelease file under the big list of mods), unpacked it into the Fidecula file, ran the FF7 music program, and selected the profile before saving and exiting then exiting the music program. However, when I run the game through bootloader, there's still no music. I start a new game, the cut scene starts, and within 3 seconds, it's just dead silence.

I'll check it sometime this week.

thank you, on a related note, I got to finding Yuffie normally without teleporting but it's still the same as before, I get to attack her once and then the battle would freeze, the music still runs but nothing else change anymore and I have to shut it down. I noticed that when I got into the battle with Yuffie, her shuriken is wobbling slightly constantly, and when she attacks (that's when it freezes) the shuriken doesn't leave her hand even though she's throwing it. Not sure whether this is useful or not, but the last time (when I was teleporting) the same thing happened with the freezing and her shuriken wobbling.

the mods I have related to her are:

AC Style (Grimmy) for both field and battle models, and I recall in the log that a mod for her weapons was also installed though I'm not sure what it's part of as I don't see the option for her weapons in BFE.

on a side note, on the world map, Cloud's field model see to change from TA Bloodshot Edit (which I installed, and worked fine in normal places) to one with a buster sword model, due to the size I can't identify which model it changed to, just wondering what causes that. I recall reading about something like that on another board here that some bugs within bootleg causes certain mods to be installed no matter what you select (Highwind for eg, as it will install HD Highwind even if you select the basic one), could that be the cause? And could that be what causes the problem with Tifa and Yuffie?

Also, just curious, what mods do other people have installed that still allow them to get Yuffie normally? I know I can hack her into the party but I don't want to risk it. Thanks in advance, sorry about the long post.

hi, something else that showed up kinda weird but when I went to Gold Saucer, Dio had a white bag on his back, not sure whether that was added on but he also had NO BODY, just his head, arms and legs with the bag behind him, is this recorded?

edit:
last night I encountered something else, when Shera was recalling how Cid shut down the Rocket to save her, the 30 second count down seem to glitch and after it's over, the music still runs but nothing else does. I skipped it with teleporting and go back to Cid's house, the scene continued as if she just finished recalling and proceeded onwards normally. Not sure whether this is recorded or not, just thought I'd point it out.

Hi everybody ! A little problem here..
Before, when I just installed bootleg, I had in the interface items colored, and it wasd vey pleasant.
Now, I have a Reunion install, and I added bootleg files to have both( I mean I copy magic, field and worl folders from my bootleg install to the Reunion folder ), and it perfectly works.
My only issue is that I lost the colored items interface in the menu. And I can't find in the big list of mods the post to it.
Can someone tell me how having it ?
Thanks by advance

I tested and got the same results. Bootleg installs correctly, so I checked the mods themselves and found they were missing their field files. Tifa was also missing her world and chocobo models. I'll get the update on them soon and edit this post when I have done it.

EDIT: I updated the links in STEP 8 to include the missing files for JKA Tifa and JKA Yuffie (aka Grimmy AC Tifa/Yuffie).

You can either wait for the update and run Bootleg again as it was, no changes, or you can manually edit in the files by doing the following:
  • Download this tool: HERE
  • Download the models (JKA Tifa, JKA Yuffie) from The Big List of Mods: HERE
  • Open the tool and select Unlgp char.lgp, Unlgp world_us.lgp, Unlgp chocobo.lgp
  • Extract the files from the downloaded models into the correct folders --- Field -> char.lgp, World -> world.lgp, Chocobo -> chocobo.lgp
  • Use the tool again and select Rebuild char.lgp, Rebuild world.lgp, Rebuild chocobo.lgp
What I had done accidentally was include only the battle model fixes that caused the game to crash in an older version. I didn't put in the field, world, and chocobo models when I did this.

Sorry but you'll have to figure that out on your own. The purpose of this thread is to help those with Bootleg specific problems. I can't help if other mods packs are being mixed together when they are meant to be separate.

thanks, I will try and see if I can work it out, otherwise I will wait for an update. Is it going to be long though?

I also found out that not able to recruit Yuffie the normal way and just hacking her into the party will also not trigger the Wutai side quest where she steals your materias, though the pagoda fights still trigger properly, and so do the gold saucer date. Not sure what causes the freeze during the mystery ninja fight, is it related to any of the mods for her models?

Loving your work, thanks for all your help so far.

Edit:
found a vid on youtube by someone who also encountered the problem with recruiting Yuffie, people seem to think that it's caused by that particular Yuffie model, is that the case?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGEd0JJxfwo

and another thing, Aeris Revival option seems to not work, as I selected it as to be installed but Aeris still was unavailable after her death scene, I have to physically re-add her to the team afterwards.

If I can get access to a save file that isn't touched by Black Chocobo, then I can test it out. I'd prefer it to be around a forest area prior to the Mystery Ninja fight if possible.

Just bought FFVII from steam, followed word to word to the last part of the instruction.
Everything turns out good except for one thing, the prelude credit is not the Grimmy Tifa prelude credit as I selected.
Can you show me how to fix this?

thanks, but I tend not to make more than 1 saves and have already reached Icicle Inn, maybe if I try with my other computer I will have a new save file that I can send you, but that might take a few days of time to reach there.

Since I've played through that part of the story a few years back, I still remember it, and I just added the missed items and material with black chocobo.

but I will let you know if I get there on my other computer.

thanks for the offer though, really appreciate it.

I remember this a little while back when I was installing. Have you installed FF7 to a non-system folder? (aka program files, etc)
I use C:\Games\FF7
install bootleg into the same directory, but in a different folder.
I use C:\Games\Bootleg

should work once that happens, make sure Bootleg is set to run as Administrator by default through the Property tab.

Guys there are some graphic glitches with grimmy's upscaled textures, e.g here (black squares around rock parts)





The textures that give this problem are energy00_00.png and energy00_03.png into C:\Games\FF7\mods\Bootleg\Magic\ff7\data\battle\special\hado, without them looks like this (pixelled rock parts)




I tryed myself to give a shot http://www.imagebam.com/image/e6daaf320761440 with PS for remove the "black" backgound as grimmy sayed in his thead but stil not looks good (white lines)




Anyone please could give me a feed about how fix the textures correctly?  :-)
