Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Configurator and FF7 Mod Installation
« on: 2013-07-13 15:31:13 »
So, random question. I read over this tutorial, sorry if I missed something:
I have installed the bootleg configurator for my steam download of ff7 and everything is working great. However, when configuring BFE, I forgot to check the check box 'Aeris Revival' (From BFE, it is the game tab under difficulty modes).
Will running bootleg again run the complete install script over again, or will it only update the changes I have made to the BFE configuration? Also, on a semi-side note , I have noticed that Aeris_Patch_23_March_2011.rar was already in my bootleg_040 directory. Currently, I am only in Costa Del Sol.
If someone could let me know about this when possible, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT:
Also, again, on a side note, and completely unrelated, to any steam users who are having difficulties using the bootleg configurator to modify this game, I will describe to you the problem I had, and a potential solution.
1. Went to configure bootleg via bfe.exe.
2. Ran bootleg from bfe (Run Bootleg)
3. Upon opening, an access is denied error popped up.
4. I closed bfe and bootleg via task manager (In case of any hanging processes), and tried to change bootleg.exe's compatibility settings to run as admin. I was unable to right click to change the settings for this file as I would get the spinning blue circle of death, as some might call it. I found out later that this because my anti-virus (AVG Free 2013) was detecting bootleg.exe as a trojan.
5. While a temporary disable of my antivirus would probably have worked, I restarted in safe mode (after restarting your computer, press F8 when it powers on) in case any other programs might be causing bootleg.exe to be having this problem.
6. Sure enough, in safe mode, I was able to right click bootleg.exe, navigate to the compatibility tab, and discover that I couldn't check the box saying 'Run Program As Administrator' because the box, along with all the other compatibility settings, had been grayed out and unable to be modified.
7. I went into start > typed regedit (registry editor) and pressed enter.
8. Navigated to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers .
9. In Layers, right click in the right hand pane where the registry values are, and click new > string value.
10. Name the string value the fully qualified file path where bootleg.exe is located, including bootleg.exe at the end of the file path. (For me, this was C:\Users\username\desktop\bootleg040\bootleg.exe)
11. Right click on the string value you just created and click modify.
12. Type RUNASADMIN in the value data row. Click OK.
13. You should now be able to run this program as an administrator. Restart your computer in normal mode. I would also advise disabling your antivirus program if you have one. Dependent on the antivirus program you have, you may only be able to disable it temporarily.
