Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Configurator and FF7 Mod Installation

« on: 2012-11-04 00:23:33 »

Everything is ready and working with Bootleg .040.
Except I have one slight issue.
When installing the character models, there is a separate selection for each main character's field model.
One of the options is NO CHANGE.
But, there is another area where the user can select the BASE MODELS: PRP or Rebuilded or Chibi or NO CHANGE.
When the user selects a BASE MODELS option other than NO CHANGE, all of the main character models associated with that option are installed too.
Therefore if the user selects NO CHANGE for Cloud's field model and selects PRP for the BASE MODELS, the PRP field model for Cloud will install.

I could release .040 like it is, or I can take more time to make the field model selection less confusing.

Is there just 1 part to the OST download--  Nightmare OST.part1.rar?
All 3 of those links are to the same file.

The Bootleg option for field textures uses a combination of Facepalmer, Blackfan and the Field Packs.
You'd best stick with the newest version of Facepalmer.  Most of the glitched textures are fixed.

If the textures are already present in your .\mods\ folder, then manually installing them won't fix the problem.

You still need to install portions of the Aeris Revival and Hardcore patches.
There's at least 1 files in char.lgp that you must install from Revival.
There are new battle models from Hardcore that you need to install as well.

Of course you'll also need to install Aali's OpenGL driver and the ficedula music driver.  FF7Music makes installing the music driver easy.

Bootleg .040 has integrated support for Nightmare.  It installs both the slim and fat (if you know where to find it) versions.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Configurator and FF7 Mod Installation

« on: 2012-10-28 04:15:35 »

Yes, I read your PM.  The FF7Music missing \ fix is already implemented in the upcoming .040 release.
I maintain legacy support for the original facepalmer download and the fix packs.
Bootleg first checks for Omzy's FF7 Field Pack.zip.
The fix packs really don't fix all the problems.  There are still visual glitches in the temple of the ancients.
Also, the 'animated' lighting textures do not function.
I still recommend using the deglitch feature in Bootleg.


Intel graphics cards typically do not allow the user to manually configure the amount of ram allocated via the bios.
Nor is this an option in the video card driver.
Ram allocation is controlled by each game or application.
Aali's driver doesn't allow for this type of control yet.
Therefore Intel cards are not well suited to running a fully modded FF7.

Thank you for your suggestions and solutions.
Sometimes I'm a bit too overwhelmed to reply, but I do read everything.
I rely on input from users in order to make Bootleg better!

I've made a few more changes.

Your video card may be responsible for the crash.
A fully modded FF7 requires at least 512MB of video ram.
Also, Intel video cards don't play well with Bootleg.

Not installing it won't cause the game to crash.
There's something more to your issue.

Yes, other mods will  work if you install ff7music after the fact.
The only thing you will lose is the OCRemix and Bootleg soundtracks.

The upcoming Bootleg .040 contains some missing PSF tracks.  If you use the above method with .040, you will lose those tracks too.

The original APZ Cloud texture is partially ripped.  According to Qhimm rules, I cannot repackage it.
The OCRemix tracks from The Remix aren't included in Anxious Heart.

I can easily repackage the tracks.  The only source (at Qhimm) for the original APZ Cloud texture is The Remix.

There are only 2 things left in The Remix: the original APZ Cloud battle model and the OCRemix soundtrack.
Bootleg now includes the new APZ Cloud models but still supports the old version from The Remix because some people prefer that model's face.
I'm seriously considering repackaging the OCRemix soundtrack and adding it as a separate--much smaller-- download.
Though The Remix is still used from some options, Bootleg no longer requires it.
