I'm sorry to be a bother, but...should I be using Tifa's Final Heaven or Tifa's Bootleg if I'm just looking to play the Steam version FFVII with improved graphics and sound? I keep seeing Tifa's Bootleg suggested as the go-to choice for modding those, but it appears Tifa's Final Heaven is newer, and I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. I tried to figure out the difference myself, and did a couple searches to see if anyone else had asked this question, but I didn't find anything useful. I'm very new to pc gaming and modding things, so I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious. Thank you for your time.
 
I have a question: Can I mod a Yuffie model with bootleg having installed the 7th Heaven?
 
Ok there are few bugs/glitches that I should inform you guys when using mods. For starters its seems that the gameplay /Story Difficulty Mod is causing Random Enemies to appear no matter which difficulty you choose. Also the Chibi FMV replacer does not appear to work at all, b/c I'm still seeing the blocky chibi models in the movies.

So all in all I don't think Bootleg is causing any issues with 7th Heaven except the GC Backup folder created by previous patches needs to be deleted before using the Game converter or you will see a long list of errors while patching the FF7.exe.  As for the random Enemy encounter I read that another person was having the same exact issue as me in the 1st 2 pages of this post. He stated he was  using the nightmare Difficulty and was seeing the random enemy issues, while I was using Aerith's Revival Full Resize option. I did my homework and noticed they are both gameplay difficulty mods and by deactivating it The random enemies stopped. But this was already pointed out in 4 previous pages I think

I'm not sure why the Chibi FMV Replacer mod isn't working at all, I'm still seeing the low res movies instead. Everything else is working great and looks beautiful. Hopefully the 7th Heaven tool will allow LGP files to be converted into IRO archives for model customization. There are some Bootleg mods I would love to import into this tool

Little Anxious Heart question here :

I would like to have the  AH full selection, but without the music of it for battles that I don't like.
How is it possible to manually choose the Anxious Heart songs like with the stand alone Installer solution in 7H ?

Well, what I would do is have the wanted battle music files on a separate folder. Install the choice then copy paste the files you want as a battle song into the music folder.  Make sure you back them up in case you make a booboo.  I do this whenever I wanna use different music.

Tifa's Bootleg will alter your game files. 7H will activate them through memory injection during gameplay, and does not alter the main files in any way. It's up to you which method you want to use.

No, 7H and Bootleg will not work together. If you want to request a model, then talk about it here: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/10852/

I have to say though, I'm at my limits just about with how many requests and projects I've gotten from people over the last couple months. I haven't been able to keep up with it in a timely fashion, so you may have to wait until June until I can get around to it.

Are you trying to use 7H on a Bootleg install? The two of them don't work together.

LGP files can be used with 7H. Did you not look at the Catalog and see all the categories of models?

Sora's method will not work if you have a music mod activated in 7H. Any 7H mod that is activated will take priority over mods listed below it AND any files in your game folder. This will only work if you don't activate any 7H music mods, which means you will need to create your own custom folder of music using the Import feature to bring it into 7H OR copy the music into the music\vgmstream folder.

If 7H crashes when opening, read the FAQ on how to fix that. If you had a Bootleg install previously, you need to also clean your registry using the method stated in the first question of the FAQ. Just to be clear, do not use Bootleg and 7H together. It will not work.
 
no i'm not trying to use bootleg with 7th H b/c they are 2 different tools which activate mods differently. The only thing that bootleg would conflict with 7th H is the Config patch which messes with the registry ofcourse. I was just pointing out that theres a major bug within the gameplay difficulty mods causing random enemies to appear. And I still can't get the movies I select to work. The strange part is the fact that my movie folder is empty however the game still plays its own movies as if they were there. Also for some reason the sound effects in battle seem to keep phasing down like theres not hit sound effect especially doing limit breaks. Not sure if thats normal with the sound mods or not

Oh darn I forgot about that. Because I don't have the Music mod activated.  xD My apologies.
 
Thanks a lot !
So, if I desactivate the music mod and work with my own music files, it would be okay ?
And how keeping the new FX sound effects too, with the mod desactivated ?
 
how likely is the 'beacuse' translation to be out soon for 7th heaven.

Make the texture cache of Aali's driver bigger. (1024 seems to work without problems)
 
Thanks for your answers! One final question...
Why is it that when I try to do the battle against Dyne I have to fight Reno and Rude?
Sorry for the inconvenients!
I tried the method on the first page but it doesn't seem to be resolved

You can activate the Music and Sound category, but go under Configure and select No Change for your music option. Sound effects can be activated normally.

I'm no longer giving ETA with my work. I work a full-time job as a teacher, so my hours are 40+ a week, plus I have family to attend to when I get home. I work on this when I can. It's actually not a huge amount of work, but that's if everything runs smoothly. It never does, so I have to find time to figure out the problems and fix them before release.

Please tell me which mods you have activated and the load order they are in. Also upload and link me to your save so that I can check it myself with your load order.

okay thanks EQ2Alyza

I just saw the To Do List thread for this after posting that as well, so forgive the slight double post, I should have put that in there only.

but I think that would be the highest priority, as i think it was a 2 year work for that mod, but you can of course choose to do whichever one you want to do first.
 
hey all im new . im having some trouble with downloading.. the music and sound mod will get stuck and not seem to progress downloading. everything els has downloaded fine but the music. is there no alt way of getting the music?plz help
 
ok i managed to get the downloaded mods and everything. was a problem with my internet. but now i really am stuck and need some help

iv installed all the mods but im getting problems firstly if i activate CaHoS (character overhaul seven) it completely overrides battle models - characters so when in battle the models that i want to use from battle models dose not show ingame and same gose for the savepoint.  If i disable CahoS . the battle models show but clouds weapon is invisible.

second issue is when i enter certain areas for example (Wutai) i get the message in the lower left corner of the screen *GLITCH missed palett right to external texture field uutai1_uutai1_15    (the file name is different in some area)  how can i fix these issues? thanks
 
Finally get it to work,
