Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Edit for the FFVII Remix 2.5.1

Thanks everyone!

I took Vgr's advice and opened up scene.bin in proud clod.  It took some playing around but I got the issue resolved.

All is well. Thanks again for everyone's input.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Edit for the FFVII Remix 2.5.1

Hey guys, I’m running into an issue with bootleg or a mod in bootleg that I’m having a difficult time troubleshooting.  Hoping someone could give me some ideas or a solution.



When I infiltrate the Shinra building for the first time it appears that the sequence of boss battles are getting out of whack once I encounter Red Xiii for the first time.  Instead of fighting HO-512 (and friends) I end up fighting a Zenene. The battle background is not the lab but a regular encounter battle background.

Now normally I would not mind but this is only the start of the problem because now all my boss fights are out of sync.  The next boss encounter should be against Hundred Gunner with Aerith, Red, and Barret in the elevator.  Instead I am then fighting HO-512 (and friends) with the lab as the back ground.

After that the following boss battle should be Rufus. Instead it’s Cloud fighting Hundred Gunner and HO-512 again (but with no buddies) in the elevator by himself. 

Finally we get to the end of the bridge sequence and here instead of encountering Motor Ball. We then see Heli-Gunner (and were back in the elevator). But only for a few seconds because at this point the game starts to act weird, stalls, then crashes.

So far here is what I have done:

Checked the battle LGPs and ensured that the Corresponding bosses match their file formats.

Since it was not an issues with the models themselves I assumed it was an issue with the pre rendered backgrounds. So I backed up my saves, uninstalled FF7 completely. Restarted, Reinstalled, Re installed Bootcamp but went up to version 0035.

Sadly, still the same issue. Then I suspected that my saves were corrupt. So I downloaded FF7 Saves from the bootleg mod list and even then, still same issue.

So far the only way I have been able to get the correct sequence of boss battles is to load a vanilla copy of FF7, load my saves, then play from there If I do that the issue does not occur.




Anyone got any ideas or has run into this before. Thanks in advance for any help or interest.

If you need screenshots I’m happy to provide them but I will only be to do that once I get home. Our company’s browsing is strictly enforced (Luckily Qhimm is not blocked. YAAY !!!)

General Discussion / The Black Materia Album: by Mega-ran and Lost Preceptions

Hello there.

Not sure if this has been posted or not but I wanted to share incase anyone has not had a chance to check this album out. It’s basically a free-style rap album that tells the tale of FF7 to some popular FF7 tracks.  I stumbled upon this on Spotify while working on my own character models and wow is it good.

I’ve created a play list on Youtube with all the tracks. (all songs were uploaded to youtube by the artists themselves. I only created the playlist)

Youtube Playlist:  http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL03F0A09DCA4BB3CC

Buy the album:    http://megaranmusic.com/album/black-materia-final-fantasy-vii

I also provided a link to buy this album if you want. If you’re anything like me it’s the album we never knew we were waiting for.

Cheers Ugerstl & Pitbrat! Turning UAC off did the trick and everything ran smoothly once I got it going. Game looks absolutely fantastic!

BTW is there a way i can disable the custom sound effects (or at least the battle sound effects) that were built in. So far I love all the mods but these kinda sound cheesy to me. Wondering if there is a way to disable it and use the tried and true sound effects.

Okay so I have followed all the instructions to the letter. however when i run BFE the menu comes up, i can select my options and configure the paths but when I select the red button "run bootleg” nothing happens. (almost like its a dead button). If i dont run BFE.exe and instead run bootleg.exe  from the same folder it does run. 

Any ideas why BFE will not launch bootleg from the configuration menu?

Running in Windows 7 (32bit). All applications are being ran as administrator. All mods have been downloaded and are in the folder with BFE and bootleg.

Do I need to install FF7 and the 1.02 update before running BFE or bootleg? or is there anything else that needs to be installed pre bootleg, such as Remix or Avalanche?

BTW Thanks so much for this thread it has already been a HUGE help so far!
