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

« on: 2012-11-21 04:15:56 »

Leonhart,
I'll update my links accordingly.
I'm not sure why google docs insists on storing some archives as folders.  It's very annoying.
The only issue I foresee with your new links is with the filenames.
There are other mods-- grimmy's-- that use those exact filenames.  It might cause some confusion.

Now that I have the correct folder structure for the new release, I've made the necessary corrections.
Bootleg correctly relocated the movies.
I've also improved the translation feature to preserve the language files from the new release.


I've also updated all of the links in--
The Big List of Final Fantasy VII Mods.
All of the links are now working (at least for a few seconds).
If you notice any broken links, please report them.
If you just want to mirror some files, please please do it now!

Try starting the game by directly launching FF7.exe.

Did you choose to install Menu Overhaul?

Intel graphics cards are not 100% compatible.
Some of the mods will not run on Intel graphics cards.

Post the contents of the lastused.bp file.
That way I can tell exactly which mods are installed.

When you uninstalled, did you also delete all the game folders?

Q:The game worked but now it crashes at startup!
A:Uninstall the game, delete all the game folders, delete the Bootleg files (BFE.exe, bootleg.exe, BFE.ini), reinstall FF7 (or specify an image), extract the Bootleg files again and re-run BFE.exe.

What is the new folder structure of the updated 2012 rerelease of FF7?
Where is battle.lgp located?  What errors did Bootleg generate when compiling battle.lgp?

Bootloader has an option to mount a virtual drive for FF7Disc1.
It's on the configuration page.

The processor is a tiny bit slow, but still it should perform acceptably.
I'm now wondering if it could be a result of forcing ff7.exe to run on multiple cores.
Try playing the fmv's in media player to see if they audio stays in sync.

Do the default fmv's from the cd-rom work?

Kuugen,
I've incorporated support for Nightmare 1.01.  It will even install the fat flevel if the file is present.

whiteRaven,
Bootleg will install any models you place in the BootlegCustomModels folder.
Otherwise, I would need to recompile bootleg.exe with the updated models.

Team Avalanche / Re: will this be compatible with bootleg?

« on: 2012-11-17 22:23:52 »

Changing just one mod can have a cascading effect on all the other mods.
A plugin system probably wouldn't work too well.
I have already added a series of folders into which the user can place models.
When Bootleg runs, the models from these folders are installed last.

Bootleg .040 is ready.  PM me if you want to test it.
As soon as I have enough positive reports, I'll release the new version.

DTard,
The world and minigame models are installed based on the field and battle model selection.

e1sunz,
Thanks oodles!  That's one more piece of the Remix that I can lump.
EDIT:
Could you fix part 5?  Part 5 is not the final part of the archive.  Winrar generates an error when it reaches part 5.  It's a standalone archive.

Does anyone know the source of the Remix videos?  Quite a few of Grimmy's videos are included.  I'd like to make sure there's an alternate download for all of the videos before I completely remove Remix from the mods list.

So now the mods list will only require the Remix (by turning it red) if the user selects the original APZ Cloud model or the Remix videos.
Is it absurd to create another archive containing only the videos from the Remix?
I first need to know whose videos they are so that I can ask permission.

« on: 2012-11-08 05:48:55 »

Keep in mind that Intel video cards are not compatible with Bootleg.

I correct the base models conflict.
There are a lot of model choices in .040.
Cloud has 22 field models and 10 battle models!

I still need to fix all the presets.

Remix is still required for a few options.
I never found a working link to the OCRemix tracks.

Also, does anyone know what movies the Remix uses?
I believe most of them are Grimmy's.

Not much changed in the list . . .
But it took me 4 hours to fix the base models.

The Avalanche installer uses a deprecated method of installing textures.
It modifies the textures in the .lgp files and causes them to point to the textures folder.
Use the other texture mods instead.  They are visually superior.
Only a few building textures are exclusive to the Avalanche installer.
