VGR,
I would definitely like to assimilate additional difficulty mods.
You know how much I enjoy pleasing you!
Currently, the options include: Hardcore, Remastered and Revival.
I don't have access to Lost Wings, Rebirth nor Total Grudge.
The Reasonable Difficulty and Harder Items mods are unfinished, but they are the only viable candidates of which I'm aware.The AWESOME mod is more of a joke and unfinished. Besides, I find it offensive.
Unfortunately, Shalua Rui is unfinished.
That leave Turks Mod, Play as Vincent and the various Play as Sephiroth patches, but they are incompatible with many of the other mods. They also detract from the canon.
Adding a difficulty mod increases the number kernel and scene patches exponentially.
Generating the .bin files is the most complicated algorithm in Bootleg.
Please let me know of any mods available that are fully playable and mostly complete.
I'll begin the process of manually creating the patch files for every permutation of mods-- order matters.
Again, I'll have to rely on everyone here to help me test the results. There are bound to be many buggy iterations.
It's beyond my skill level to make all difficulty mods play well together.
Bootleg uses mod switching to allow Hardcore and Normal modes to coexist.
Unfortunately, some mods require that the installer run for every mode.
That could really bog down the installation process! It's also confusing to the user.
Alternately, enabling one difficulty mod will disable other parts of Bootleg.
The only way to make this clear to the user is via the BFE interface.
I'm at the point now where I've cleaned out enough bugs to focus on adding additional content.
I'm currently considering assimilating these files in order of priority:
1) ff7rm1.1.exe
2) FF7 - Kernal File MOd.rar
3) Scorpicus_Seph_Patch_V1_1.zip
4) Sephiroth_Patch.zip
5) 2009_05_09_TurksModv1.1Full.7z
6) vincent's sin.exe
7) SR v0.3.zip
AV Mod.rar
Please let me know where you want me to start!
Bootleg0032 was very buggy (an understatement) in regards to default settings. I've worked hard to make sure that the default values are labeled correctly and enforced in 0034. Values are slightly changed in 0035 to account for 0=no change settings. I hope this makes it easier to install Bootleg with minor changes that don't corrupt your existing mods.
Bootleg.exe now works with paths that contain spaces and non U.S. standard characters. Unfortunately, BFE.exe for 0034 will not read from a path that contains such characters. I apologize and the bug is fixed for future releases.
Thanks again, VGR.
You always have plenty of feedback for me!
You've found ways of using Bootleg that I never considered.
Hopefully I can implement features to better suit your needs and reduce the frustration factor for you.
Bootleg is still in the beta phase. With your help, I'll whittle away at those leading zeroes and eventually go gold.
