Made an account specifically to say thank you! This is great
I do have one problem... Ive looked around and i can't find anyone who has this problem. All the videos have this...bad quality to them. Flickering, stuff like that. Even when i play the high quality movies stright from the FF7 folder they turn out bad. Im not sure what to try. I have an i7 2600k with an ati radeon 6970. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The troubles I had before (Remix) had something to do with the FMVs. I wasn't able to troubleshoot it further than getting a hint that something wasn't right with the h264/AAC-combo - which I'm pretty sure is not system-wide - but at least I got in-game.
I don't know how much information you need for this, but here goes:
Win7 64
4 Gb RAM
ASUS Xonar D2/PM (no DSP-mode active)
Powercolor HD 6850 1 Gb
Install dir: C:\Final Fantasy VII
Compatibility: WinXP SP3 (seems to happen as well in XP SP2 and no compatibility - Win98 won't even reach the crash with the more recent compatibility modes)
Nnnnnever mind me, the problem went away - some more cutscene packs apparently did the trick.

First of all, many many thanks to PB and everyone else involved in this. I stumbled upon the bootleg just a few days ago, and i am LOVING it.
I just wanted to report a few bugs, first with the configurator:
Simple details, In the mod list, the Any CD Loader isn'T listed (is it included in the configurator by itself? Possibly, i still downloaded the zip and added it to the folder.)
Second, using version 0036, Modlist is looking for ff7music_install_15112 , but the provided link is for ver 15111, so i tracked that down as well.
Next are some simple game bugs, might be easy to fix, running on normal mode:
In aeris' home, one of the 2 door in the bedroom doesnt switch graphics when opening , so we see both the door open and closed at the same time (In cloud's room).
When Barret gets angry after sector 7 has collapsed, he goes to what used to be the door, and hits on it, but we hear tifa's sound effects , making Barret sound like a girl.
Inside Don Corneo bedroom, the textures seem to overlap or something. It might be effects of the spotlights, but it doesnt look right. Here is a screenshot of the room:

1. Yes, the AnyCD is included.
2. This issue has been mentionned before, and will be taken care of.
3. Issue has also been mentionned before, and is not related to Bootleg, though we will try to fix that.
4. Known issue, already fixed for next release.
5. Refer to number 3.

All right!
I have been compiling other minor graphical bugs here and there , is there an official thread for bugs? Or must i read all 24 pages to see which bugs have been mentionned.
For now i will post them here, please just ignore if bugs are already known. I will check back here and post next time in the appropriate thread.
When cloud has flashbacks about nibelheim, the wrong avatar is displayed. I am playing with "Full Portrait" avatars, but during that entire scene, cloud has the original avatar, while sephiroth uses the full avatar one. This returns to normal when the flashback ends, and you continue in Kalm.
There are some minor graphical bugs in the fires of some houses when nibelheim is destroyed. While half the fires burn with a smooth animation, others have square blocks on them. I have screenshot of this if needed.
I'm under the impression that the hand cursor that determines your position on screen used to scale along with the model? Or is my memory playing tricks. Maybe its just that the hand cursor is too big? Sometimes, when cloud's model is very small on screen , the hand cursor completely covers him. ( Just a detail )
I'm wondering if the "Mansion Basement" , The library where Sephiroth walks around and reads books to learns the truth about himself, if the textures haven't been "upscaled" ? While so far every background looked smooth, this one seemed like it might have been forgotten. It was a big contrast to other sreens, hence why i'm wondering. I also have a screenshot if needed.
For the record, im playing on win7 64-bit, with ATI 5670, on normal mode with a FULL preset install.
I also posted almost every mod in a single torrent (FULL preset + a few others) on a private gaming tracker i use, and so far 158 people are downloading it, in about 45 minutes i will have finished seeding and pretty much everyone of them will complete the download at the same time. I did point that all credit and source was this thread / forum and that i just wanted to spread the news (and facilitate the download even more than the great GUI does). So fingers crossed a whole bunch more of people that like me, were unaware of this project until last week, will be flooding this thread with thanks and input.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the bugs/glitches reporting.
Also, concerning the torrent, I am highly uncomfortable. The authors did not give all their acknowledgement for this, and we were already planning to do so. Also, Bootleg is outdated because mods keep popping out.

We will torrent the whole thing once we get enough approbation we will torrent the whole thing. This also requires APZ to release his new Cloud.

No problem.
Since you are online right now, can you tell me where i should post all the bugs / glitches i stumble upon ? I have a bunch more graphical glitches to point out. I thought i read in a thread that Squallff8 had completely rebuild all in game models https://www.ff7catalog.com/posts/68257/ but i have found a few models that still show the blocky original models. I will post in both the facepalmer thread and the Final Fantasy VII Phoenix Rejuvenation Project thread since they are more related there.

Most of the issues mentioned are already fixed for the next release of Bootleg.
Many of the anomalies with the field graphics are due to FacePalmer.
Use the 'Removed Glitched' option to revert these glitched field textures to the originals.
Though low res, they still look better than the glitched textures.
The Remix is the only source for the APZ Cloud model.
It also contains the OCRemix tracks and the fixed PRP models, but these will eventually make their way into the Bootleg archive.
Squallff8's models are already included in the upcoming Bootleg release.
There are nearly 50 new field models when using the Bootlegged field models option.
There's also an option to use all of Squallff8's nearly 100 field models instead of the PRP models.
There is still a minimal number of original blocky models left in the game, but they are few.
I just recovered enough from the holiday to start unpacking.
I'll consult with my team about releasing a new Bootleg sometime this week.
I've neglected my projects for nearly a month now. I have much relearning to do!
I was waiting for an updated OpenGL driver and Menu Overhaul, but there are already enough updates to make a new Bootleg worthwhile.
Thank you all for your continued interest in this project!

Thank you guys so much, FVII has been my favorite game for a long time. I used the remix patch last year to play through the game again and not seeing a blockhand Clould alone made me want to hump titeguys leg. You guys have stepped it up to the next level with this compilation of everyones mods and models.
Im having a problem though When im installing, in the cmd prompt window after updating the sephiroth model, while installing the feild art as png i get a "Windows cannot find "FORFILES" error. Ive tried once to just skip it but when it gets to deglitching it just sits there. I was thinking I might have a corrupt file but Im not sure which mod this file is from. Ive tried to look through the mod list and google it but no luck.

EDIT: V That worked to finish the install, thanks. I do still get that error though, but so far so good.

This looks amazing!! I love ff7 but I am not the best at using a computer, so I only use a few mods. This look like it can help me a ton!!
one question though:
If I have a few other mods already installed (ailis custom driver, Gjoerulvs hc mod, ff7 music installer, and the official patch) will this work or do I have to start from scratch?
Im going to give it a go for now anyways!
PS: Thanks to everyone who ever contributed to keeping this game alive! it holds a big space in my heart and Im absolutely blown away at the talent and work you guys put into it!!

the patch is included in bootleg. And the advent children models aren't supplied around here because of copyright issues.

Ok, then are there any mods on the Big List of Mods that make the characters look better?
