Troubleshooting / Re: FF7 PC crash when leaving Midgar for the first time

« on: 2013-04-24 14:17:56 »

if its just a black screen wait it out, it happened to me to it hung on a black screen and i thought " Nooooooooo i knew it! nothing is free!" but then when i hung my head and let out a sigh, after a few seconds i hit enter just to see what would happen, and it loaded the world map. if its just crashing i dont know then maybe definitely a bad download i got mine from REMOVED
breaking the law also if you play on windows xp you need the windows xp patch 1.2 and 1.4 No you don't. There is no 1.2 patch (did you mean 1.02?) and the 1.4 patch is unofficial and nothing but trouble.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

as far as i know bootleg isnt a "installed program" its just a zip file i dont click yes or anything so i cant install it, so therefore i couldnt uninstall it. yes i am aware now it makes registry and temp admin entries and i deleted them each time, yes i click your links, i now have all the mods. but bootleg for some reason, not the mods themselves, but bootleg itself makes it so chipsets will not work. using them one at a time, im done modding now, i have my ff7 fully modded, i just had to use the mods 1 at a time instead of using bootleg to do it, when i do them one at a time i can use all mods in the torrent, so my questions are nulled all i have to say is for future no graphics card users, with intel or (just about any) chipset users, don't use bootleg at all, its completely 100% graphics card dependent and you should download the mods 1 at a time from the "big list of ff7 mods" link in the tuterial.  extract and use the read me file to install manually. use high wind to add to your lgp archives. the aalies lgp/unlgp is now banned or not supported. (at least in my state) i cant find it on google. this worked for me.

also i might add that at one point in time bootleg did actually work one time, and installed all the mods, but just that once. after i uninstalled all the game and deleted registry and temp files it never worked again. this way is a tad longer but if you copy your original ff7 into a random folder its actually easier. you can mess up infinite times with any mod and just delete all the files in squaresoft and copy your copy back into that folder. this is what i did and now i have the ac models and all that i posted a wile ago.

 also i would like to give a thanks to the people who made the mods and torrents themselves i never thought id play a childhood game in such good graphics! the creators of phoenix rebirth patch especially that was the first and easiest mod to install, i just downloaded it took one second, read this guide very easy to do instructions http://www.instructables.com/id/Final-Fantasy-7-mods/step2/Phoenix-Rejuvenation-Project/, replaced my char lgp and world lgp with the ffprp ones (use the link i just gave you very easy instructions) and my game was fully modded 100% with no glitches. avalanche also! this mod was very fast to install and works 100% so far. all you do is click yes, thats the only thing you do for that mod and it adds alot, no glitches what so ever even using a chipset. on top of those 2 i used the uo3 installer program, which is basicly from what i see as another bootleg.exe program, this also works with no graphics card. not as easy as phoenix patch and avalanche (some mods appear as white shapes depending on d3d and aalis graphics custom) but still works if you do trial and error. the "reshaded" section is my favorite part of this mod installer. thanks to all of you for your hard work. also eq2 for the torrent of the mods, altho bootleg itself didnt work except that one time and is mostly graphics card dependent the torrent was fast and gave me some of the mods i needed =D ty

hey its been a few days and im ready to try this again i dont think i read the instructions all the way through the first time and when reading them again i realized i had some questions that might help me to install bootleg properly this time around. or if not bootleg at least some of the mods

1 do i need aalis graphics driver properly installed before i run bootleg and also do i still need to play the game all the way to the first save point and fill up the save slots?
2 do i need the official patches before i run bootleg? such as windows xp patch and the 1.2
3 failing to make bootleg work properly, in what order would i go about installing these, any that should be installed first or last? or never mixed ect.
4 ive read before bootleg came out you guys used lgptool.exe or lgpedit.exe forget what its called but can someone give me a link to its instructions? this seems to install one mod at a time last i checked so i can use it to see what patches i am compatible with.
5 believe it or not i had the game running at 100% with high definition and advent children character models, almost all the overhaul menu options on, bootlegs field models, basicly every option you could pick, i played through disk one before i decided to uninstall it and do vanilla difficulty instead of hardcore, and thats when it craped out on me and never worked again. i did that with no graphics card and an onboard intel chipset which im now aware it says intel wont work with bootleg.
any specific mods that do not need a graphics card and are intel friendly? (besides phoenix rebirth and reunion patch i have those they work 100% =D) edit* looks like the avalanche high res patch works with intel chipset no graphics cards as well

ah i finaly got around it, just had to use firefox, but i have a new question if i may.
i know it says that i must have all the files in red for bootleg to work. but thats about...all of them lol. and i dont want updated cut scenes or, mini games and whatnot i just wanted the updated graphics for characters and field (maybe not even field) and maybe a difficulty mod, some music maybe, i see alot of files that are very big and i dont really want them but they are colored in red. i was wondering if theres an updated list or guide maybe on the ones i could skip by not checking certain options or maybe installing them myself

EDIT*UPDATE* eh i did it anyways but im having trouble with the eidos logo avi and the fmvres.exe part 7 of 7.

i have the eidos logo fmv in the right folder and all (to my knowledge) but it still shows in red. and the fmvres.exe i cant find at all. i know theres a torrent that has all the mods but that one is the only one i dont have, can it be skipped? uhg wait make that 2 files i dont have yarlson feild update....i shoulda just done the torrrrennnt lol whyyyy

hi im experiencing difficulty downloading the mod in the link on this site i click file bootleg040 it takes me to a page that says download i click download it says " Sorry! this file is to big for our servers to scan for viruses, would you like to download the file anyways?" i click yes and it starts to download, it gets to 30 percent and resets to 0, it does this about 5 times then says the file is corrupt and cannot be opened. i have no firewall on my internet or computer, and ive tried using different internet browsers to, but it still wont download the file. im currently trying to find another website with it because ive seen pictures of your work and i really want some of these mods, but im having very little luck so far. EDIT*UPDATE* wait wait i found a way around it i just had to click "resume download" after it says files were corrupt, it then continues from 30% im guessing ill have to do it 2 more times and theres a chance it might mess with the download but im very excited i hope this worksEDIT*UPDATE* nope didnt work lol still stuck please help *EDIT*UPDATE*

OK! I GOT IT LOL had to try 2 new web browsers but i finaly got it, its some new problem with google interacting with other web browsers, if the file is saved on a google server or i dont know how it works but use firefox and the problem goes away
