Hi there,
I apologize if this has been covered already in the 68 pages of this thread, but in doing a quick search I have not been able to find an answer to my issue.
I'm trying to install the gjoerulv Hardcore mod to my FF7 game using Tifa's Bootleg. Using the Bootleg Front End, I am selecting "Gjoerulv's Hardcore Mod" as the difficulty I would like to play on. If I go and check the Mod Listing, it shows a green bar for the Gjoerulv-1.0.6.rar file in my game folder (C:\Games\FF7MODS\Tifa's Package [Bootleg040 Mods]), so it appears that everything should be fine. However, when I actually run the bootleg program, I am receiving three lines of error:
"Installing Hardcore Mod . . ."
"Gjoerulv-1.0.6.rar is missing!"
"Completed Disabling Hardcore Mode."
I've tried to go ahead and play the game anyway just as a double check, but it does in fact appear that the hardcore mod hasn't properly installed. It's bizarre to me that the error I'm getting is that it is unable to locate the .rar file when I can see if plain as day in my directory?
In addition, I have tried running the .exe file in the .rar hoping that patching would help me bypass this error, but to no avail. I've tried installing the mod where I can choose my own difficulty from a list in the BootLoader (Mode Switching - All Mods), but it has left out the hardcore mod and everything else is available.
Something I'm wondering about is that I was playing on "Reasonable Difficulty" mod before trying to move on to Gjoerulv's Hardcore mod. That mode seemed to play fine (it was taking more than one hit in the Opening Bombing Mission to kill the guards). Could there be some sort of problem in that I am trying to install the Hardcore difficulty patch after installing the Reasonable Difficulty mod? Would I have to uninstall everything and start over from scratch?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I can provide more information if I have not been clear enough with the technical difficulty I am running into.
Thanks in advance for all of your help!
