Mods won't apply
« on: 2013-12-05 23:15:08 »
Hey all, it's me again, feeling dumb. Again.

Can you tell I'm new at this yet?

Anyway, I thought I'd installed everything properly and run the right programs. After running the Avalanche.exe or whatever it's called, I' started the game and found the opening video to be the new HD one and the 'new/continue' screen had the new shiny buster sword on it. Seemed promising.

Then I started playing.

The field models were all original, as was the soundtrack and Cloud's model and sword. (strangely enough, only Barret's battle model seemed to be different.) Closer inspection reveals that the only things that have actually been changed by my full week of modding are the materia in the menu (they look nice and detailed), Barret's battle model (he looks pimpin'er than evar), and the item icons look nice. Also, the text is all jammed together. I don't remember setting anything for that.

I set up BFE.exe to make the game exactly how I want it to look (AKA utterly fantastic), and none of those setting applied. What do?

Thanks so much!

So you setup BFE.exe with all the mod options you wanted, but then ran Avalanche.exe instead?

Yes, but then I realised I had basically overridden my setup from BFE (right?) so I re-ran BFE. After that, the game looked same as it had before- fancy Barret and icons, everything else basically normal.

The written guide (and video) never indicate having to run Avalanche.exe, so I'm confused as to how you came about that decision :(

Start over. Don't run Avalanche.exe, or any other mods, individually. Select what you want for Bootleg and only run it.

I'll try that next time I'm on my computer. I don't know why I ran Avalanche, probably because I ran BFE and didn't get many of the mods to work. I dunno. This is hard and my brain hurts. XD
