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

« on: 2013-07-07 22:10:09 »

Making the backup of the camdat files served useful, it seems they go missing once I install the mods. Not too sure why.

One more question before I get to playing: How did you get your pre-rendered background areas to look so sharp in your videos on youtube? Mine looks super blurry and muddy. All of my settings seem to match the tutorials. I actually used the EQ2Alyza.bp for the mod list, I only changed a few character models. And I also copied your screenshots for the bootloader.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about: http://imgur.com/thvABNL

Hmm, so I deleted everything and started over. After installing FF7 from Steam again, I searched for the file and found it under Steam\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\lang-en\battle. So if I install the mods again, but move the cam files to \data\battle, would it work? Just thinking out loud.

And again, thank you for your help, you're amazing.

It's missing, bummer. So I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game a few times now, and it keeps crashing in the same spot(first battle). Maybe I should start fresh and try from the top one more time?

Also, when running the bootloader, I get this:

Error in blackbgb: converting to field failed, Attempted to read 323135 bytes from 36fe
Error in elminn_1: Incorrect number of entries: 16/17

Not sure if this is related to the error, but yeah.

Is your operating system installed on the Z:\ drive? If so, you've installed your game into a system folder via Steam. I've not tested it before, but you can try copying the entire FINAL FANTASY VII folder to a non-system folder (e.g. Z:\Games\FINAL FANTASY VII) and running it from there. Windows is funky and can deny access to certain file extensions when trying to open them inside system folders.

If that turns out not working, then you will need to uninstall and delete EVERYTHING. Then after Steam installs the game again, move the fresh copy to a non-system folder and start modding it with Bootleg.

It isn't installed in a system folder(I think?). My C: drive houses my OS and a few programs, Z: is my game drive. It might say Program Files/Steam/Etc, but that was just the generic install route for Steam. Is that enough to break it?m I can try moving my Steam folder to something custom either way.

And btw, thank you so much to everyone that worked on these mods and loaders. I've beaten FF7 about 8 times, and this next playthrough is going to be awesome(just gotta figure out why its mad, heh)

I read over this thread a few times and can't seem to find anyone with the same issue I'm having, so here we go:

I bought FF7 on Steam yesterday and followed the tutorial. The mods load fine(new models, music is better, etc). My game is crashing after the swoosh on the first battle. Here's the app.log dump:

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, uninstalled the mods and reinstalled, tried running with certain ones turned off(anything to do with battle), etc. Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this?
