Bootleg Questions / Re: [FF7] Tutorial for Bootleg - Tifa's Bootleg

Windows 10 has broken the mod, I'm not really sure what is going on.

What happens: Launch bootloader, cmd prompt opens as usual and then game launches, immediately game crashes, cmd prompt closes and no error report is shown.

WINDOWS 10 NOTE:

Check the APP.LOG in your FF7 folder, but mine stopped as soon as it tried to load sound. I looked at the FF7Config.exe and went to the Sound tab and saw there was no sound card selected! I think this is because of Windows 10 installing new drivers for everything. Choose your sound card, click OK, launch  through Bootloader as normal!

Bootleg Questions / Re: [FF7] Tutorial for Bootleg - Tifa's Bootleg

TL;DR: No Troubleshooting needed! Thanks for all of the great work to the community!

Been nostalgic lately, decided to look into FF7 again (just beat FF6 again too!) and rather than resurrect the grey whale in the closet and the always scratched discs I decided to be an adult and use my grocery money to buy it on Steam. I played it and loved it, and loved the already updated experience that square put in! Then I thought maybe some great folks put the same kind of care and attention into this game like the community surrounding Fallout 3/New Vegas. Mods make both of those great games absolutely incredible. So I dove into google (for like half a second) and found Tifa's Bootleg (first result), a link I was sure I should have opened in an incognito window.

So I followed the instructions (I also don't like screenshots/videos, I want to see the handiwork roar to life on its own! Also I know, dumb.),  and downloaded EVERYTHING. I copied, extracted, installed, and torrented away. When I first played it, I was underwhelmed a bit at some of the graphical updates, the characters updated, the icons, but there were red error messages every time I started the game, missing movies.

I opened the FF7\Movies directory and it was empty! Looked in the ini file and saw I never pointed BFE at the mods directory! D'oh! Tried BFE again (much longer install time means things were actually happening) and I AM AMAZED! This is nothing short of a labor of love from a community, and thank you all for revering the game/series of my childhood! Also apologies to my present adulthood, there is going to be some tough procrastinating ahead!

Thank you!
