That's the patches up. The issue was that the NPC's Main script had been cleared, so it was turning over to the Talk script instead. Let me know if it goes wrong again, but it should be fine now. The scene patch was also updated, to fix an issue with Icicle Wolves/Bandersnatches in the Glacier.

it worked. continue playing later on. ty for your fast reply

i have found a bug, i guess. when i have met rufus and trying to escape with aerith and the others, tifa, barret and redxiii just standing there and doing nothing. the scene where tifa says, that i have to go to the elevator and shes waiting for cloud is being initiated when i am getting to the elevator (alone with aerith). then it stucks, because aerith, barret and red xiii moving into one group (dont know how to describe it)

edit:
ps: are you planing to give us a full manual what has changed and what gameplay changes you have made in detail or do we have to guess most of the part by ourselves?

unfortunately the music isn't playing. when i start the game, no sound is extracted to music folder. there seems to be a bug for this iro sound/music pack.

edit:
the sound pack in general isnt working.

edit2:
for a quick workaround, extract the iro soundpack to a folder of your choice and copy your desired soundtrack to the music/vgmstream folder. for sound,go to data/sound and replace the files which you want to have (new sound fx, voice attacks). make a backup of your soundfiles beforehand.

It's still in, but I have found a workaround :

-Install ff7
-convert  it
-install the mod and apply the patches
-start 7th with all mods you like, just don't use game play mods

Works so far

Okay, I'll look into getting all those put into the guide. The 7H game converter installs DLPB's tools. You can use GC v0.11 and still do all the manual stuff afterwards to get 7H working, but I felt that could potentially be a problem for some new users. It also has a built-in message warning about the game being installed into Program Files, Program Files (x86), or Users folders and mod compatibility.

if you ever are in a need to use program files like i do, since i have a separate partition where i have installed it (D:\Program Files (x86)\....), just use Progra~2 for Program Files (x86) or Progra~1 for Program Files.

Example: D:\Progra~1\...

When i have changed that at the Converter and in the 7th Tool, it worked

Bootleg Questions / Qhimm Crawler

« on: 2014-08-12 19:14:19 »

Hi everyone,

i dont know where to post this, so i decided to post it here. correct me if i am wrong.

in the last few days i decided to gather some "cool" mods and ended up in the big list of mods thread. great so far, but i kinda thought, it lacks some easy management. i thought about the "mod listing" feature in bootleg and how we can put it to the next level.

at the moment, i started to program a little tool for myself which gets all relevant links. its still early in the development. just posting screens and wanted feedback.

it is planned as of now as a separate tool, but it might end up in bootleg, i don't know yet. it also depends on your feedback in general.

What is planned:

- Gather all releases (done)
- Save List ( for checking on updates of threads)
- export data to bbcode / html for managing the list of mods - thread

anything else isn't planned as of now.


Screens:

i can see everyones worries (and Kal's point) and that it might lead to ultimate destruction  but the community will decide what they want.

we will continue our work and evolve the bootleg. you have the choice, you have the power.

First things first. A change management will be implemented after bootleg is part of the UI. Can't do everything at once. We also don't like the idea of uninstallation the complete game and so on.

You should already know that this bootleg release is a copy of the old bfe with improvements. The current new UI is just a first try and may change in the future as well. We did need a UI in the first place which can be supported in the future and yes, that will be me. since brat has no time to offer anymore. Don't get us wrong, 7th is trying hard and is doing a great job and that's good. There had to be an alternative over time, it is a consequence for no new updates when it comes to bootleg.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [FF7] Tutorial for Bootleg - Tifa's Bootleg

« on: 2014-08-07 21:21:51 »

I tested it by myself and it worked. You could also first try the following :

Install anxious hearts and then look at the config of the current aali driver up, so you can play the inf loop ogg with aali, not with ff7music. You need to set correcte path to the vgmstream plugin and music folder

Unfortunately i am not at the pc anymore. Additional information i can provide tomorrow or other members of the board can do that.

If you get a file corrupted message, you may retry to download the package / installer again. Just in case. Try to start in administrator mode and make sure your antivirus program is not interfering.

i had the same problems with the music too. i have installed the latest aali 0.81b driver and downloaded the anxious heart package http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=12787.0 after bootlegging my ff7.
after that, i had no music problems anymore

Bootleg Questions / Re: Bootleg Configurator UI

« on: 2014-08-07 20:43:57 »

*Update*
Just wanted to mention that we are making good progress. The UI is about 70% or so done. For the UI, there is still to do some stuff:

- Applying new content (mods). Updating the mods to a newer version and add new mods. Also removing mods which are not being supported anymore.
- The modlist. The list itself must be created first, then it will be linked to the content of the UI.
- Logic for selecting mods. Think about selecting the nightmare mod in the old UI, you couldn't apply some options after that. Something like that is missing.
- Filling the credits and help sections with information
- Some routines for first time initializing. There is some plain logic as of now, needs to be improved.
- Assigning the configuration of the UI to the bootleg process.

This will be version 0.50. New additions or changes to the mods will be updated regurlarly in the bootleg configurator.
Next goal is 0.60, to integrate the bootleg itself into the UI. Don't know when we will be at that point, but it needs to be done later on.

Yeah, thats it. After completing the new UI, it can be tested.

Stay tuned!

FF7 Tools / Re: [FF7PC-Steam] Steam to 1998 conversion - Game Converter (Beta V0.11)

« on: 2014-07-31 15:28:56 »

I am not sure if it was discusses before here (or somehwere else), but i tried to use the latest converterm and it does work pretty well. It still has a problem with certain install paths. For example "D:\Program Files (x86)\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VII\"  is not working. He will say that he cannot access the path because of the syntax "\Square". You could fix that by code or you have to manually specify the path like "D:\Progra~2\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VII", then it is working. It is really just a minor suggestion of fixing.

Yep, batch is no option on the longterm. We will integrate bootleg later on in the UI. You can do more with C# as of now . C++ is tough and after you read my previous posts, I am quiet lazy....  ^^" haven't looked at the bootleg source files. Will do after 0.41 (new UI).

thank you for your enlightment. i never cared so much about other languages nor do i have the need to look on others (as of now). c++ is still interesting though, but i am just too lazy to get the hang of other languages as long it is not needed... ^^"

and yes, you are absolutely right about the "clean working code" part.

If you put it this way, yes. You can do pretty much everything with C++, not with C# though. C# is convenient and easy to use. Especially useful if you don't want to create drivers, related stuff for operating systems.

When i am not mistaken you have to do extra work in C++ like cleaning up your code, being careful about memory leaks and so on. I really don't know C++ very well, but for this kind of application, C# is sufficient.

I see. I am gonna check it out, when we have merged successfully UI  with bootleg. Doing it before creates too much overhead. It is better to touch the complete solution,  not something half baked. It will be a long time until it may be compatible with other OS. Cannot say for now if it will ever happen, but as I have said, I will take a look later on.
