When you open MO.exe, there should be an option at the bottom to uninstall and restore from the back up folder. Do that, play the game to make sure it reverted, then once confirmed, do another install of Menu Overhaul with your new settings.
 
@EQ2Alyza
ok um theres no backup of my files that MO should of made but it didn't. :(
but when i try it again with the 102 patch of the ff7.exe(after i recopy it from the bootleg.exe files that i've extracted)(sorry @PitBrat if thats not aloud, i didn't feel like redownloading the files that are already in bootleg.exe... i know i'm lazy) but it says that im missing the HextEditor.exe file but I have it elsewhere that i downloaded but i guess MO.exe doesn't. how can i fix it do it does have HextEditor.exe in it's files? i allready redownloaded it twice i don't think another try will help but ill give it ONE more try.
oh and when i do succeed with the file it patches it all wrong the way that i don't want
and another thing.... since i do have the hextexitor.exe i tryed to do what MO.exe does when it patches the ff7.exe but the game crashes when an enemy attacks cause of the *edit:invincible cheat* its wrong or something i tryed to look for the hex code on the web but couldn't find it. but thank you for the future help.

Your round about ways seem to cause more trouble than needed. This is found in the License Agreement when installing Menu Overhaul. It should be clear what needs to be done after reading it.

Code: [Select]
Code: 
=================================================INSTALLER:DISABLE UAC or RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.FOR A FIRST INSTALL MAKE SURE THAT FF7.EXE HAS NOTBEEN TOUCHED BY 9999HP PATCHES.  It is recommended that you install the Menu Overhaul LAST.To Install: Run the installer.You need to have Aali's custom driver properly installed. To Reinstall: This installer should allow you to install multipletimes without any side effects. If you wanted to include somethingwhich you missed the first time, re-running the installation a secondtime should pose no problems. Running the installer a second timewill NOT overwrite anything in the backup folder because I am cleverand think of everything.To Backup: This installer automatically backs-up your files in"BACKUP-dlpb" folder, found inside the main game folder. To Uninstall: Select uninstall. The BACKUP-dlpb folder requires manual deletion to ensurethat there are no problems.  Remember to delete this fora full uninstall.If you choose to uninstall, all other options you have selectedwill be ignored.  =================================================WARNING:Do *not* install this mod on any non English 1.02 Exe.The differences mean the result will be a corruptedgame file which cannot be corrected.Do *not* use this installer if you intend keeping the original graphics.If you want to have a mod that works with the old font and graphics, download our older mod, "Menu reconstruction 004" found here:https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/7126/It is recommended that you do *not* install the Remix Patch.
 
ok, I'm dreadfully sorry for not reading that @DLPB ,next time i see one of those i WILL read it. and read it carefully i will. not that i will always understand it though cause i'm only 16 with a 3rd-5th(ish) grade reading average. and im STILL in 9th grade :( *not too bright* but yes i will read the ToS's and License Agreements (rules). but ll just give up on the matter of invincible cheat... i used the YAMP cheats though that are with the Menu Overhaul installer thank you for that info so i don't get in trouble like that again.
 
Hello everybody..
I have a little 'menu difference' in battle between my ff7 bootleged, and thoses of I can see in video. As you can see in the screens, I haven't like other guys the rectangular blue boxes where there is the commands : attack, magic, etc.. but no box.
Here is a screen from MY config :

And here is a screen taken on a video of others :

Am I wrong before running bootleg ? Is it a choice to check( FF X battle style checkbox for example ? ) Thanks a lot

That blue box is called the Command Box. You can turn it on and off with the "Hide Command Box" option in Bootleg. It is seen on the "Overhaul" tab here:

 
Woww, thank you so much @EQ2Alyza for your quick and nice answer for me  :)
Can I ask you what do you prefer between both ?
 
You are welcome  :)

What do I prefer? Well these look nice to me:

1) FFX Battle Style [check], Hide Command Box [check]

OR

2) Felix Style Menu (FFIX) [check], Hide Command Box [blank]
 
Okay, thanks again. I tested with FFX style and show the command box and it looks anyway pretty good.
Don't tried the Felix FFIX. Do you prefer it than the FFX style ?
 
Is it possible to switch style without re-installing bootleg ?

Yes, run MO.exe and install Style Switching, 9999 Break, FFX Battle Style, and Felix Style Menu. Then use these controls to switch between them any time you want:


Menu Overhaul                                                                Author                                  Bootleg Option                                            Info                              Preview


MO.exe                                         DLPB & Kranmer                Menu Overhaul                       Qhimm FILE


Style Switcher
                                               Allows real-time switching between FFX Battle Style and Felix Style Menu (FFIX).           VIDEO

                                               CTRL+F5 (FFX  Battle Menu w/o 9999 Break), CTRL+F7 (FFX  Battle Menu w/  9999 Break)       
                                               CTRL+F6 (FFIX Battle Menu w/o 9999 Break), CTRL+F8 (FFIX Battle Menu w/  9999 Break)       




Just a friendly reminder that my Tutorial explains these details. It has previews to compare for yourself  :)

hey guys, been lurking for a while - a big fan of the group :)

I have been using the remix version, all i had to do was install the game, then run the setup.exe and its been working great

under what circumstances would bootleg be better? because from what i see, you have to download each mod seperately and use bootleg to install?

either way, rock on!

Bootleg, from what I understand, is a more complete mod pack, where it has many options to the user. This allows for my game to be different from yours, which is different from someone else, and so on.  It may be a bit more of a pain that remix, but it's really the freedom you get from bootleg that I personally prefer.

Yeah I gotta say I am very impressed with bootleg. It's very user friendly and I love how it says which mods I'm missing for the options I choose, PLUS it links me to the download :)

Close, but not quite. It is missing 2 movie files (ff7_enhanced_movies_1.part1.rar & ff7_enhanced_moves_2.zip) and the latest Menu Overhaul (M05c). Here they are:


              FILE                                  AUTHOR                  DESCRIPTION                     INFO           


ff7_enhanced_movies_1.part1.rar - .part3.rar        Trojak          Enhanced Movie Pack 1 in 3 Parts        Qhimm 01 02 03 M01 M02 M03 M01 M02 M03


ff7_enhanced_movies_2.zip                           Trojak          Another Movie Pack 2                    Qhimm FILE MIRROR


MO.exe                                              DLPB & Kranmer  Menu Overhaul & ReTranslation M05c      Qhimm FILE




The torrent actually needs to be redone because it has both sets of the ff7_enhanced_movies and both sets of the FacePalmer textures. You only need one or the other, so the torrent size is larger than needed. I have compiled the mods correctly to reduce the space, but I don't know how to create a torrent. Any takers on this?

If Demonoid was still up, I'd be down. The best I can do is write out how to make one.


Or link one:

Should do the trick. The only problem is you'll have to find a good site for it.
