CGalaxy, there was an error in the older version of Bootleg.  It wasn't searching in the Bootleg start folder for mods.
I fixed the problem.  Now by default Bootleg looks in 'downloads' and the folder where Bootleg.exe started.

You don't need to use any of the switches.

The command line switch /F allows you to add search paths.  Bootleg /F"C:\temp"  would also check in c:\temp for mod files.
The easiest way to use the switches is by creating a shortcut to bootleg.exe.  Go to the properties of the shortcut.  In the Target text box, add the switches to the end of the existing text.  That way you can start Bootleg with the same settings every time without having to enter everything again.

hi guy, i have trouble with ff7 mix 2.5.1, install full, but i go to config grafics, and in drop box renderer say this in opengl
OpenGl Driver (broken)

i replace all arquives of the openGl and run config, and old, i paste patch 1.02 too, but in game, no generate grafics of the remix patch, and in initialization of the game say this msg error: no ready shaders, but the shaders replaced too, i forgoten steps?

plx help-me, game in custon graphics are withe screen :/
and others no ready shaders and openGl broken, Help-me plz
 
Download all the mods and run Bootleg to fix your problem.
    Or . . .
Install Aali's OpenGL 0.7.11b.
Run FF7Config.bat as administrator.
Set the Renderer to 'custom driver'.
Copy and replace ./shaders/main.frag and ./shaders/main.vert into /shaders/nolight/
Run 'Run FFVII-Remix.bat' as administrator.
 
Okay, thanks Pitbrat, that all makes sense to me now. I'll definitely give this another look. And thanks for putting this all together.
 
Ok I tried this and half the stuff is working and half the stuff is not... I dont know what to do here or even how to begin to explain what all is there/missing.

The hardcore mod didnt work, even though the bootleg brought me the installer and I installed it correctly,hq aerith didnt work if its a field model, I dont think the fmv restoration worked, save point changing and blue limit mod didnt work, and some other things didnt work.

What did work was the menu overhaul, the remix patcher, colored items, and a few others.

Edit: Im stupid, I wasnt running hardcore mode, also, Im reinstalling with notes this time, we'll see how it goes

I would also like to request you add in Darkfangs Transparent avatars

I just finished integrating the best field art from FacePalmer with the best textures from yarLson and sl1982.
It's all about mix and match!

jeffdamann,
The Menu Overhaul will eventually include the avatars.
I'll add the transparent pack to Bootleg.  It's already on the 'to do' list!
Are you using bootleg.exe?
Bootleg will install the mods if they are in the same folder.
It skips missing mods.  Make sure the file names match those in the mod list.
 
Awesome PitBrat!

Thank you so much for your bootleg.

I just have one small question. The first battle after the opening against the 2 soldiers ...
The battle floor texture is awfully pixelated and probably from vanilla ff7.

I seem to remember high res textures of exactly this texture. So did something go wrong on my end?

And I am not supposed to have the "already in remix" files in my folder, am I?

Once again your bootleg is HIGHLY appreciated. Superb work.

Those are my textures of OPAC and OPAD....... I hereby give permission to PitBrat to Include ANY of my future work in his installer, and Anyone else owning mods should do the same. Pitbrat obviously has spent a LOT of time on this, and hes doing the community a MUCH NEEDED favor.

It would be beneficial if the mod owners allowed him to make an Installer with the files inside his installer, instead of needing bootleg.exe. btw Pitbrat, you can do this with anything I make. I have messaged Felix_Leonhart and am wanting to collaborate on some more battle enhancements.So when I complete some more, you can include those as well.

I CAN NOT get kela's blue limit to work, Ive even tried installing to the mod folder directily, I guess Ill have to try and rebuild an LGP with kela's in it.

Get back to me Pitbrat

All you have to do is replace a file in your textures folder. No need to do anything with LGP.
 
jeffdamann and Strayoff, awesome!  Thanks.

Adding the .tex file to the magic.lgp is the most direct route of implementing a new limit texture.

The limit .png texture goes here if you're using the Remix:
    .\Final Fantasy VII\textures\Limit\limit\jo_b03_00.png

I believe that the .tex file in the .lgp has been altered with an Hex editor to point to the textures folder.
I haven't found much info on the textures folder because it's a deprecated feature.

Grim,
When running Bootleg, it's best to have all of the mods listed in the Bootleg_Readme.txt file.

There are pictures in the forum of that first battle scene with updated graphics.
Unfortunately, that mod is unreleased.
If you happen upon a texture pack containing those scenes, please let me know!

-PitBrat
 
I believe you are thinking about millenias battle scenes. While unreleased, I feel his battle floor is severely GAUDY and need a lot of work, however, the rest of his scene is a work of artistry.

Here is the link for My Original Battle-scene Enhancement thread. If you read through it you can find many alpha stage files, including my opac and opad textures. You can also see millenis work.

I will post the textures later today, and I am now starting work on the project once more.

Just read your instructions for the aeris patch. DO NOT DELETE OR REPLACE MY AERI.HRC. It's a new, separate model required for the patch to work. It's basically Aeris using Tifas skeleton, the game might go bananas without the correct one.

Other than that good job :)
 
Ultima Espio,
Thanks for that info!  I was attempting to use the new HQ Aerith model with your Revival patch.
I'll have to figure out something else.
EDIT: What if I use Aeri.hrc with the numbers from the HQ Aerith mod?

When using the original Aeri.hrc with the PRP model, her hands are not attached.

Jeffdamann,
I've already downloaded most of your preview textures.
Now that you've given the okay, I'll check into including some in Bootleg.

Yeah, you just need to copy the bone lengths from the PRP one onto Aeri.hrc. You'll have to check it looks right in Kimera too.
 
Thanks for all the hard work Pit, I was wondering... now that you have Facepalmer being a part of your installer.... do you have it set to "mix and match" those field enhancements with sl1982's and yarLson's automatically for right now?
