I made a first pass through The Big List of FF7 Mods to update broken links.
If anyone finds a broken link, please report it to me.
Even better, if you have the file upload it somewhere and share the link!
I'll update the BFE mod list soon.
 
I received a request for help about 8 hours ago, while I was away, on IRC.

<BootUser1216> Hi i'm having an issue with the mikes custom pack on bootleg, everytime i set them up on bootleg and run the game, the buster sword keeps coming up as the millenia sword is there any possible way for me to fix it? my email is ***@***

Whoever that might be, I sent you an email, but in case I will post it here as well.

Hi,
I received your help request for your error with Bootleg swords. Currently, there is no "simple" way to fix it, but I will explain anyway. Search on the Qhimm forums in the Tools forum for ulgp, then download it. Read the readme. Use the GUI (Graphical User Interface, which simply means you don't need to type in the console). Extract the ZIP of Mike's custom models somewhere, then open your battle.lgp (located under the .\data\battle\ folder) with ulgpGUI and replace "rtck" (which is Cloud's Buster Sword). Save.

There, it should be fixed. If you didn't understand or it didn't work, you can come back to IRC and tell me. As you may have noticed, there is an auto-reply when I am disconnected, and if you type /whois Vgr you should see something saying I'm away. I do always read my messages on IRC, though, so don't worry.

Might want to give filetrip.net a try.  It's the closest one to Mediafire that I've found.
 
Grimmy's AC Cloud model is not compatible with the Slayersnext buster sword.
Bootleg defaults to the Millenia buster sword model when using Grimmy's AC Cloud with the Slayersnext weapons.

From Bootleg_ReadMe.txt
-Slayersnext's Cloud weapons are not entirely compatible with Grimmy's AC Cloud.  Millenia's weapons are used for Cloud's first two swords.
 
@Pitbrat

Wanted to know if AC Yuffie broken battle animation is actually the mod itself or an end result of bootleg? Also if it is bootleg are there any plans to fix this?

BTW excellent mod manager.
 
The mod itself is broken.  I've already fixed the model for the next release of Bootleg.

I have a minor issue that I ran into. At the part where you are at aeris house and you have to sneak out. I have autorun on, I also know that when you hold the "run" button that it makes you walk normally. But whenever I leave the room even walking slow 1 step at a time I always alert Aeris. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm tempted to reinstall with autorun disabled but its too late tonight. Any info helps Ill post if i find a fix or I just suck. Also FYI I am playing on Hardcore if that matters at all

**ok if anyone else has this problem just run the normal path you would running dont worry about trying to walk at all. That worked for me

I guess I am giving up on making 0039 work and wait for 0040 instead.

I was actually hoping that at this stage we might have had the new version of Aali's driver but oh well...

Do you mean the Toggle Autorun?
Ctrl+F3/F4 toggles it on/off.
 
I got all the mods on my hard drive would it be a good idea to make a torrent of them and upload it on a torrent site.
 
Sure, create a torrent.
People have tried in the past, but it's difficult to find enough hosts to seed a 21GB file.
I've considered creating torrents for individual mods and packs of related mods.
I'm currently trying to reup everything to file sharing sites.
 
I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm trying to install mods via bootleg, but it seems like only some mods are being installed (even though everything is green or yellow when I check the BFE mod listing). When I run Bootleg, the command prompt says it installs the 1.02 patch, then it installs The Remix. But then the command prompt exits (finishes installing?) and it returns me to BFE. Some of the mods are in when I load the game, but then others aren't active. For instance, even though I set autorun on inside BFE, Cloud still walks when I load the game. Other examples include the save points (which I changed to FFX model), which remain the normal FF7 model in game, as well as the music still being the default midi even though I have the ostre archive in the bootleg folder . Also, Barret is completely black in combat, as in he has no textures and just appears as a shadow.

I'm wondering what the hell is going on as I can't seem to get this to work.
 
Q:Where should I install Final Fantasy VII?
A:I recommend NOT using a system folder like 'Program Files' or 'Desktop' or 'Users' or any other system folder as the installation destination.
  Instead, install to a folder such as 'C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\' or a new folder of your choice.
  Installing the game to a system folder sometimes results in missing mods and the inability to save or edit game files.


Don't install the game to any type of system folder.
Windows UAC/DEP will prevent Bootleg from running correctly.
 
Hello all, I'm new to the forums here, but I've been modding this game for at least a year now.
I've found a bug with the new 0039 installer.
Whenever I try to install the entire mod package, the installer will progress to the point of installing the remix, and after it finishes the cmd simply shuts down and it takes me back to the Bootleg Front End interface, without any mod being installed.
This problem does not occur whenever I use the 0038 installer however, so that's what led me to believe that it was a problem with the installer itself.
so, I was wondering if you could take a look at it, PitBrat?
 
Don't install the game to a system folder.
Don't use a TEMP folder with spaces in the name.

I'll try to work around this issue for the next version though it might require up to an additional 250MB of free space during the installation.

You can avoid this issue if you don't use the APZ Cloud and Timu Sumisu Barret models.

For a while it does not work here ... I have a GTX 570 and driver 304.
