DarkFang, the Remix uses Slayersnext Cloud Weapons, Slayersnext Aeris Weapons, a very very early version of Millenia's weapons which is missing most of the best models and Grimy's Diamond weapon from the Avalanche installer.
The Bootleg uses Millenia's newest sword pack for Cloud, Slayersnext Aeris Weapons and Mike's non effect weapons for Yuffi and Aeris.
Zoostation, I've found this little trick to work wonders for sorting through files.
First, pipe a directory of the desired files into a text file:
dir /b >filelist.txt
Next, make a for loop to copy the selected files out of ALLFILES and into SELECTEDFILES.
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=*" %%G IN ("filelist.txt") DO XCopy "C:\ALLFILES\%%G" "C:\SELECTEDFILES\"

Let me know if the PRP installer works. The original installer seems to have some major issues. I might have to come up with another solution.
I already have another update that has an option to not use the remastered AI, stats and equipment from the Remix.
I didn't realize there was a demand for the vanilla version.

Yeah, the Remastered changes are in:
./data/kernel/kernel.bin
./data/kernel/kernel2.bin
./data/battle/scene.bin
Just copy and replace those files with files from a fresh install of FF7 and you'll be back to vanilla.
I've a bit more work to do to incorporate changes from the Menu Overhaul, Hardcore Mod and Aeris Revival in various combinations.

Okay, I've updated the link with Bootleg 0001 Beta.
Check the first page.
I tweaked a few things: added extra PRP models, updated FF7Music installer, fixed Bloodshot's HQMB, fixed HQ Aerith, corrected Avalanche install order, better integrated Hardcore Mod with Aeris Revival, added alternate menu backgrounds and more.
I'm still working on completely combining Aeris Revival with the Hardcore Mod. There are 28 scene files in flevel.lgp that overlap between these mods. Right now, the Hardcore Mod takes precedence when using both mods together. I haven't tested the impact this has on gameplay. There is no conflict when using Aeris Revival without the Hardcore Mod.
The settings I use most often for Bootleg 0001 Beta are:
bootleg /c0 /s0 /p2 /r0 /n1 /a1 /v1 /h1 /l5 /m1 /x1
The PRP installer is really crummy. If people have problems using the PRP installer, I'll move the few models into the bootleg itself.

Wouldn't it be easier to unpack the vanilla char.lgp into a folder 'char'.
Then unpack the 00.lgp into another folder 'prpchar'.
Then cut all the files in 'prpchar' and paste them into 'char' and choose SKIP for all files that already exist.
Then all the files left in 'prpchar' would correspond to files in the original char.lgp.
You still have to go through and load every model .hrc file left in 'prpchar' to make sure there aren't any missing parts.
Then just repeat the process for all the .lgp archives in 00.lgp and 01.lgp.

When using this mod with the hardcore mod, there is a slight conflict in the flevel.lgp file.
There are 28 scenes that overlap between these two mods.
If I overwrite the revival patch files with those from the hardcore mod, will I lose anything significant?
Is it just a matter of Aerith showing up in the scene to loiter about and chit chat?
Without those flevel scene files from the hardcore mod, there are some missing battles.
Thanks,

The Remix does a tremendous job of sorting through the PRP models.
I'm updating my Bootleg installer with the additional field and world models from the PRP, PRP Addon, Dahfa and Squallff8 that are not already in the remix. The tutorial details all the steps.

Everything should be as easy as installing malware!
The documentation briefly mentions using toughscript to format text in flevel.lgp.
I hope that future updates include more details about this new feature.
What changes does the Menu Overhaul M003 make to flevel.lgp?
A file comparison of .\Backup-MO\flevel.lgp and .\data\field\flevel.lgp indicates that the files are identical.
The MO installation appears to have worked flawlessly.
I'm using the MO with Remix, Aeris Revival and Hardcore without any problems.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Edit for the FFVII Remix 2.5.1
« on: 2011-07-27 14:54:01 »
Why does the Remix have such a bad reputation? It does much more than just add the PRP models. Besides, it's not a simple task to properly extract and install the PRP models. Everything is lumped together! Sure, renaming the PRP lgp's might appear to work, but that's just sloppy. Who wants all those extra files floating around in there!
I've sorted through the PRP installer and have a working list of models not already in the Remix. The new Bootleg is nearly ready for release.
Removing the Remix from the list of essential mods is still not feasible. The Remix is outdated and breaks some stuff, but it does a great job of installing essentials like the PRP. Plus, the Remix includes many small fixes and tweaks not available anywhere else. Not using the Remix would require that I redo everything it already does so well.
On a side note, what's your favorite Cloud model for field or battle?

« on: 2011-07-25 16:06:57 »
I found a couple of small flaws with Bloodshot's Hi Quality Bike model; a merchant has a piece of Cloud for an arm. There's an issue with young the Aerith model losing a texture when HQ Aerith is installed. So far, the glitches are only cosmetic. I'll have things fixed in the next version.
I'm also working the PRP into the mix. There are quite a few more field and world models to add.
With the addition of the PRP, nearly all of the field models are redone!
FF7Music is now at version 1.51.9, so I need to update it in the Bootleg.
I'm considering adding an option to install all the FF7 Tools as well.
Nickblames,
Awesome! Now you can help test this thing out too . . .
If anyone find some other tidbit to cram in, please let me know!
Anyone know how 'anycd' works and whether it's worth including?
What about the Sephiroth mod?

At least one of the patch zips is required for Bootleg.exe to run. Any of these files will work:ff7_1.02.zip, ff7_102.zip or ff7102zx.zip.
Bootleg.exe will attempt to continue running if it can't find a mod file, but there might be anomalies.
There is a warning message if something isn't found.
The Bootleg installer isn't really designed to pick and choose... it's more of a complete experience.

That was a typo. It's Bootleg.exe.
You have to have a fresh Final Fantasy VII installed to the default location.
Alternate install paths is a feature still on my 'to do' list.
If you change the install path of FF7, it's not going to work.
Also, Bootleg.exe should be in the same folder with all the mod files.

« on: 2011-07-24 17:49:39 »
finalturismo,
I check out the two issues you mentioned.
Cloud_Bike_Fix_Fixed.zip is a test file I was using. I removed it from the list. It's already in Bootleg.exe.
Avalanche High Res.exe vs Avalanche High Res b9.exe was my bad. Naughty me renamed the file. I fixed it so now both names work.
But, when I was fixing that, I realized that I wasn't actually including the Barret and Diamond Sword models from the Avalanche installer. It doesn't really make a difference because these models are also in the Remix, but I fixed it anyway.
I also removed the 'Cloud Strife' stick man Cloud model. I had it incorrectly labeled as a save point.
I've Updated the link with the new version.
You can launch FF7 with any of the three shortcuts, either .bat file or even the .exe. Just make sure to run as administrator. To enable Hardcore mode, use the shortcut 'Final Fantasy VII Hardcore' or the .bat file 'Run FFVII-Remix-Hardcore.bat'. Once Hardcore mode is enabled, it stays enabled until you run the .bat file 'Run FFVII-Remix.bat' or the 'Final Fantasy VII' shortcut located in All Programs, Final Fantasy VII.
The 'Final Fantasy VII' shortcut on the desktop launches FF7 in whichever mode it was last run--Normal or Hardcore.
I should also mention another feature.
There are now 4 soundtracks available: MIDI, OGG, MP3 and a cool Remixed version with more bass.
OGGs are the default because they loop better.

Finalturismo,
If the Remix is installed, the Hardcore installer automatically runs to update the hardcore component of the Remix. The switch is ignored. An old version of the Hardcore mod is already integrated in the Remix and requires updating.
You basically have two modes for FF7... There are two shortcuts, Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Hardcore. Also, in the Final Fantasy VII folder, there are two .bat files, 'Run FFVII-Remix.bat' and 'Run FFVII-Remix-Hardcore.bat'. Always run as administrator or the mode won't change.
This allows you to easily switch between Normal and Hardcore Modes. Also, the Menu Overhaul installs twice with the Remix-- once for each mode. The cheat settings can be configured differently for Normal and Hardcore Modes.
You could enable all the cheats for Hardcore and none for Normal.
For now, both modes share the same Menu Overhaul graphics.

Always allow Bootleg.exe to run as Administrator
Use the MOD LIST function in BFE to identify and download required mod files.
Download all Bootleg supported mods.
And, as always, read the Bootleg_Readme.txt . . .

I notice a little something.
If you hit ctrl+q during the opening credits, the quit dialogue that pops up is all black with no words.
Ctrl+q seems to work fine anywhere else. It just happens during the opening credits.

Bootleg Configurator
for
Final Fantasy VII
by PitBrat
2012.12.30 VERSION .040
Bootleg installs and integrates a customized selection of mods for Final Fantasy VII.
Installation:
1) Download all of the supported mods into a single folder (Bootleg fails if critical mods are missing).
2) Do a MAXIMUM INSTALLATION of Final Fantasy VII preferably to a non-system folder such as 'D:\Games\FF7' (Prevents privilege errors and missing mods).
3) Place 'Bootleg.exe' and 'BFE.exe' together in the folder containing the mods.
4) CLOSE ALL OPEN FF7 GAME FILES AND FOLDERS AND DISABLE FIREWALLS OR BOOTLEG WILL FAIL.
5) Run 'BFE.exe' for complete control of the Bootleg process.
Requirements:
An authentic copy of the PC game Final Fantasy VII
GPU with OpenGL and Shader 2.0 support and at least 512MB (recommended Geforce 8800 or better) (Intel GPU's not supported)
A minimum 17GB of free space for setup files
The final installation is 7GB to 9GB depending on mod selection.
For more information, consult the Qhimm forums: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=12008.0
A detailed list of mods with support and download links-- Bootleg_Mods.htm-- is in the Final Fantasy VII folder.
For the most current list of mods, consult the Big List of Final Fantasy VII Mods: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=12503.msg173799#msg173799
Place ALL of the mods in the same folder with Bootleg.exe.
Otherwise, use the /F switch to specify mod locations.
For help, issue the command 'bootleg /?'

Bootleg.exe must run with administrator privileges and will request administrator access.
Place Bootleg.exe in a folder with all of the FF7 mods.
If a mod is missing and you do not explicitly disable it during setup, strange

NOTES:
Only apply Bootleg to a fresh maximum installation of the English 3 CD-ROM version of Final Fantasy VII.
Install Final Fantasy VII to a non-system folder such as 'D:\Games\FF7' to prevent privilege errors and missing mods.
Installing Bootleg WITHOUT The Remix-- Final_Fantasy_VII_Remix_v2-5-1_Installer.exe-- will result in missing game files.
Please disable any virus scanning software before running Bootleg Configurator due to a potential conflict with some mods.
Close all open FF7 files and folders before starting or Bootleg will fail.
The mods must reside in the same folder as Bootleg.exe and have the exact filenames in the Supported Mods list.
Use the /F switch to add mod search paths for mods not in the folder with Bootleg.exe.
NOT YET Supported Mods (To Do List):

----------
KNOWN BUGS
----------
-Some field models need resized.
-Some field models don't blink or have flashing faces.
-Various glitches in field model animations when using PRP models.
-Aeris Revival in Hardcore Mode is missing some Revival scripts. Aeris does not appear in 3 field scenes.
-Extended play time may result in corrupted graphics and a crash especially on lower end Intel GPU's. Avoid pausing the game during battles.
-Rarely a crash occurs during the final rescue scene at the containment chamber in the Shinra Building lab.
The crash is related to system ram and session play time.
Use the nearby save point to avoid frustration.
-The Fort Condor mod occasionally causes a crash in the later levels of the Fort Condor minigame.
-Inconsistent install results when using paths containing parentheses, spaces and non U.S. characters: é, è, á, à, et cetera
-Installing to a system folder results in missing mods, lost settings, lost save games and mismatched kernels on some systems. Avoid errors by installing to a NON SYSTEM FOLDER.
-ReTranslation only installs in Normal and Hardcore Modes when Mode Switching is Enabled.
-ReTranslation is not compatible with Lost Wing.
-Translation is incomplete for some language and mode combinations. Battle and Menu text remains in English for some languages.
-When using FacePalmer field textures: the doors in Aeris' house sometimes appear closed when open; the door in the Costa Del Sol inn has a blue outline; in the chocobo sage's house there is a small white blotch above him, dark edges outline the scenery in the ice crater maze.
-Some Magic Upscale textures are glitched and show borders: Hell Bomber, Shadow Flare.
-Selecting NO CHANGE for battle models and installing weapons models may result in missing textures if existing battle models don't already have enough texture slots.
-Selecting NO CHANGE for field models and installing hair styles may result in glitched heads if existing field models are not compatible.
-FF7Music conflicts with game controller to keyboard emulators such as Joy2Pad and Xpadder.
-Alternate Hairstyles are disabled for some models.
-Battle model animations for the Green Frog (RSAA) and Purple Frog (HBAA) are glitched.
-With Menu Overhaul all save menus that are not from an actual save point will have the pointer on the wrong line.
-With Menu Overhaul the Junon taxi-helicopter is broken: Out of Town goes to Other District, Other District crashes the game.
-With Menu Overhaul some Yes/No menu options are reversed.
-When Installing on Re-Release version, features such as achievements, cloud saves and the trainer are lost.

--------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------
Q:I downloaded the re-release and installed Bootleg. Now when I start the game is asks for Disk 1!
A:In Bootloader click CONFIGURE.
Click the MOUNT button.
Click Write CFG.
Play FF7.
NOTE: The system may take a moment to recognize the new disk. If the game fails to start the first time, try again.
Alternately:
Install Kranmer's AnyCD patch.
Rename a USB drive or Harddrive to "FF7DISC1"
Run Bootloader and select CONFIGURE.
In the Data Drive dropdown list, select the drive letter for the drive named "FF7DISC1"
Q:I'm experiencing black screens, tearing, stuttering and out of memory errors.
A:Bootleg is not compatible with Intel graphics cards. If you are using a laptop with a Radeon/NVidia card and an Intel CPU, the Intel GPU is most likely the default video card.
The game uses the default video card which is most likely the Intel GPU.
Check in the app.log to identify which GPU FF7 is using.
To force FF7 to run on the Radeon/NVidia GPU, go into the graphics settings and "add" the file/app, "FF7.exe," to run on the improved performance processor.
Q:What is an FF7 image file?
A:It is a optional .ZIP file containing the files and folders from inside the Final Fantasy VII installation folder.
When using an image, you no longer have to do a vanilla install before Bootleg.
It simplifies installing FF7 to almost any folder.
Q:How do I create an FF7 image file?
A:First, do a full install of FF7.
Browse to inside the FF7 install folder.
CTR+A to Select all.
Right click and Send To compressed file.
Q:How do I use an FF7 image file?
A:Be very careful. Use of an invalid image will result in an unplayable game.
Follow the procedure to create an FF7 image file for use with Bootleg.
Now run Bootleg Front End (BFE.exe) and in the text box labeled 'FF7 Image' select the .ZIP image file.
Q:Why does the Menu Overhaul Installer run twice?
A:You enabled mode switching with the Hardcore Mod.
The Menu Overhaul Installs first for Normal mode.
Then it installs a second time for Hardcore mode.
You can configure cheat, game and graphics settings separately for each mode.
Possibilities include enabling all of the cheats in Hardcore Mode and none in Normal Mode.
Q:How do I use the Avatars and Prelude Credits included with Menu Overhaul and Avalanche?
A:Select NO CHANGE for those items in Bootleg. Otherwise Bootleg overrides other mods.
Q:Why is APP.LOG full of 'ERROR: failed to find file battle/???? (LGP) (path: FF7/DATA/BATTLE/EFFECT/HITMARK)' and similar errors?
A:These errors are harmless. They are related to weapon modifications. The errors do not affect the game negatively.
Q:Why is there a bar across the battle scenes?
A:This is an issue with Aali's OpenGL Driver 0.7.11B and should be corrected soon.
Q:What is the 'Temporary Files' folder?
A:Bootleg creates a working folder names 'Bootleg_Setup' in the 'Temporary Files' path.
This folder contains the extracted mods and patch folders while Bootleg is running.
Bootleg requires 16GB of free space on the 'Temporary Files' drive.
Q:Why does Bootleg exit without displaying 'Bootleg_Readme.txt'?
A:Bootleg has crashed.
Disable UAC and turn off virus scanning software.
Close any open programs.
Avoid using spaces and non U.S. characters in the mod path.
Run 'BFE.exe' and start Bootleg with the 'Run Bootleg' button.
Q:Why does BFE.exe fail to run with the error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)"?
A:You need to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22808
Or the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=22
Q:Why is there a pause while battle scenes load?
A:The game engine is slow when loading the battle scenes from a very large battle.lgp.
To significantly shorten load times, uncheck the box next to 'Battle Scenes as LGP' during Bootleg configuration.
In 'FF7_OpenGL.cfg' set 'use_pbo = yes' to further improve load times. This setting might cause anomalies on ATI graphics cards.
Q:Is FF7anyCDv2.dll a virus?
A:No, it's a false positive. It's a non essential convenience that enables the game to run without the need to switch discs.
Q:Do I have to disable my virus scanner?
A:Bootleg runs fine with virus software enabled.
The authors of some of the supported mods-- FF7Music and Menu Overhaul-- suggest disabling virus scanning software before installation.
Q:How do I change the soundtrack?
A:Select the soundtrack during setup.
Alternately, change the soundtrack after installation:
Run .\FF7Music\FF7Music.exe
Click on Configure
Select the Files tab
In the Profile Box, select the desired soundtrack
Q:What are the soundtrack options?
A:Available soundtracks include:
PSF - Original MIDI
FileNamesOnly - FinalFanTim's original MP3s
OSTRemastered - FinalFanTim's looped OGGs
mp3 (remixed) - All OCRemixes MP3s
Custom - a combination of OCRemix and FinalFanTim's MP3s
Bootleg - a combination of FinalFanTim's OGGs; OCRemix MP3s; NetHead's tracks 3-06 - The Nightmare's Beginning-rev8.ogg, 3-16 - Interrupted by Fireworks-rev18.ogg, 3-20 - Buried in the Snow-v.2.ogg and Symphonic's track JenovaRemix.ogg
Q:Why is there no sound in the game? Why is the music playing from a different sound device than the game sounds?
A:You need to configure the sound and/or MIDI device.
Run .\FF7Config.exe as Administrator
In the SOUND tab, select the 'Sound Driver'
In the MIDI tab, select the 'MIDI Driver' and the 'MIDI Data'
Click OK to save the settings
Open the Volume Mixer
Adjust the volume for the playback device, applications and FF7 executable
Q:What is mode switching?
A:Mode switching allows you to easily switch between difficulty mods when starting Final Fantasy VII.
Switch between modes of play by running BootLoader.exe from the game folder or using the FFVII Bootloader shortcut.
To start Final Fantasy VII in the last mode played, run 'Run FFVII-Bootleg.bat' from the game folder or using the
Final Fantasy VII shortcut. Shortcuts are located on the desktop and in the start menu.
Q:How do I start the game in Hardcore Mode?
A:Install Mode Switching with Hardcore Mod support. Switch to Hardcore mode by starting BootLoader and selecting Hardcore Mod in the mode list.
If you installed the Hardcore Mod without enabling Mode Switching, Final Fantasy VII will always start in Hardcore mode.
To start Final Fantasy VII in the last mode played, run 'Run FFVII-Bootleg.bat' from the game folder or use the 'Final Fantasy VII' shortcut.
Q:How do I start the game in Normal mode?
A:Once Hardcore mode is enabled, it stays enabled until you start BootLoader and switch to Normal mode.
To start Final Fantasy VII in the last mode played, run 'Run FFVII-Bootleg.bat' from the game folder or use the 'Final Fantasy VII' shortcut.
Q:What is BootLoader?
A:BootLoader allows you to easily switch between difficulty mods and change other option before starting Final Fantasy VII.
Start BootLoader with the "FFVII BootLoader' shortcut or by running BootLoader.exe from the game folder.
Use the 'Final Fantasy VII' shortcut to quickly start the game in the last mode played.
Q:How do I change the drive that FF7 checks for the game CD-ROM?
A:Run 'FF7_CD.exe' in the game folder to change the data drive.
Q:Do I really need to close all programs before running Bootleg?
If any FF7 game files or folders are open during installation, Bootleg will fail to update the game.
Close all folders and files related to the FF7 installation destination.
Q:HELP! Hardcore Mode is way too difficult.
A:There is a Hardcore Mode guide included in the Original_Readmes_Bootleg folder: Hardcore_Guide.txt.
Q:Where should I install Final Fantasy VII?
A:I recommend NOT using a system folder like 'Program Files' or 'Desktop' or 'Users' or any other system folder as the installation destination.
Instead, install to a folder such as 'C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\' or a new folder of your choice.
Installing the game to a system folder sometimes results in missing mods and the inability to save or edit game files.
Q:How can I contact PitBrat or VGR?
A:We frequent the #VGR channel on the IRC Espernet servers.
In BFE select Brat Chat from the Help menu to connect directly to the live chat.
Q:Who is VGR?
A:VGR is a valuable member of the Bootleg team. Without his skills, support and encouragement, this project would fail.
He has detailed knowledge of Final Fantasy VII, Bootleg and all of the supported mods. His input helps direct the development
of Bootleg. He is also in charge of bug testing and has devoted many hours to making Bootleg better. For tech support, requests and general chat,
contact VGR in the Qhimm.com forums or visit the official Bootleg IRC channel-- #VGR on Espernet.
Q:Who is PitBrat?
A:PitBrat is a mystery.
Q:How do I change the Menu Overhaul menu style?
A:Install Kranmer's Menu Overhaul Menu Style Switcher.
While FF7 is running, use these hot keys to switch styles:
STYLE . . . . . . HOT KEY
FFIX . . . . . . CTRL+F5
FFX . . . . . . CTRL+F6
FFIX w/9999 . . . CTRL+F7
FFX w/9999 . . . CTRL+F8
Do NOT switch to the 9999 menu unless you enabled this feature during the Menu Overhaul installation or in Aali's OpenGL driver.
If the display becomes misaligned, simply switch modes again to correct the alignment.
Q:Help, I installed Always Run and now Aerith always catches me!
A:Don't hold down the RUN key to make Cloud walk. The game thinks he's running even though it looks like he is walking.
Use only the direction keys as normal to run out of the house. Even though Cloud is running, the game thinks he is walking.
Q:How do I toggle always run?
A:Install Kranmer's always run toggle dll
While FF7 is running, use these hot keys to enable/disable always run:
Always Run ON . . . CTRL+F3
Always Run OFF . . CTRL+F4
Q:How do I use Load Anywhere?
A:Install Kranmer's Load Anywhere mod
While FF7 is running move Cloud to a field screen.
Press CTRL+L to bring up the menu. Press CTRL+L again to load a save game.
WARNING:Loading games from the world map produces unexpected results.
Q:Why does FF7 crash every time I try to start a game?
A:Disable Compatibility mode for FF7.exe and launch the game.
Disable DEP if nothing else works.
Warning: Do not use this option if you are not an administrator. Make sure that you fully understand what you are doing.
From the Start menu, select All Programs, then go to Accessories and then finally right-click on Command Prompt and click Run as Administrator.
Once the command prompt is open, you can now disable the DEP by entering the following command line.
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
Keep the Command Prompt open and run the executable file that DEP was preventing from running before.
After you are done with the installation, simply type this command line to enable DEP back on again.
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn
If you want to completely disable DEP then you will have to remove “{current}” from the command line.
Q:Why does the game run so slowly after Bootleg?
A:These mods push the FF7 engine to its limits and require a much more powerful system than did the original game.
Aali's OpenGL driver provides some additional options to help improve performance.
Enable PBO either with the Bootloader Configure button or by manually editing FF7_OpenGL.cfg:
use_pbo = yes
Q:The game crashes when I use Cyd's Hyper Jump limit break.
A:Don't select anything else while Cyd performs Hyper Jump; let the limit break animation play out before taking any further action.
Q:Using Print Scrn to grab frames results in an all image.
A:Disable Fullscreen mode: fullscreen=no
Q:My controls stopped working when I restarted the game.
A:Make a backup of ff7input.cfg before you encounter the error. Replace the original file with the backup.
If you don't have a backup, delete ff7input.cfg to revert to the standard numpad controls.
Q:Why are the battle text, ATB, HP, and Mana bars all messed up during battles?
A:9999 Limit Breaker is enabled in Aali's driver configuration. Disable it in FF7_Opengl.cfg.
break_9999limit = no
Q:The game crashes during battles after I load a save game.
A:Don't mix and match save games. Saves created in modes like Hardcore or Normal won't work in any other mode.
Q:What is the BootlegCustomModels folder?
A:Place your custom models in the appropriate folders before running Bootleg. Enable the custom models option and Bootleg will install these models.
Q:Using the Trainer to add Sephiroth to the party cause the cure to hurt.
A:Sephiroth only works in party slot 3. Only add Sephiroth to the party in slot 3.
Q:My virus scanning software identified these files as potential risks: FF7 Trainer 0.7.1v3 By Kranmer.exe and FF7anyCDv2.dll
A:The virus scanning software is wrong. These files are not a risk. This is a misidentification.
Q:I want to reinstall Bootleg without changing any of the models I already have installed.
A:Select NO CHANGE for each of the main models. Select NO CHANGE for the Base Models. Deselect all additional models.
Q:When using Grimmy's AC Cloud with Slayersnext's weapons, Millenia's buster sword is installed.
A:Slayersnext's Cloud weapons are not entirely compatible with Grimmy's AC Cloud. Millenia's weapons are used for Cloud's first two swords.
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.
Q:I use the Chrome browser and FF7Config and FF7 crash when starting.
A:The Chrome browser causes problems with FF7. Close Chrome and all associated services.

Bloodshot's HQ motorbike mod V2 has a glitch. It replaces the torso part of the Dio model with Cloud's leg. It's simple to fix though.
The Remix mod includes couple of excellent components.
It fixes the hand pointer, adds a few models not in the PRP, has a looped soundtrack with remixes and corrects a few glitches.
On the downside, it destroys 179 world textures and some battle models.
I always use the remix as a starting point though.
I'm very interested in this thread because my Bootleg Edit automates the installation of many mods. I'll definitely make sure it works with all the mods mentioned here . . .
