The Rocket Kuugen < Thank you.

One further question, in BFE, the 9999 limit breaker is marked as 'NOT COMPATIBLE' with Menu Overhaul, yet the box is only available to be ticked if Menu Overhaul is also ticked in the parent group, am I misunderstanding something here?

Cheers. =)

EDIT: PS. Extra question on this post, after you've run BFE/Bootleg successfully, you just run FFVII from the main .exe, or is there another shortcut/open method?

if you enable break 9999 in menu overhaul you can not enable it ALSO in the bootleg config after the install. That's pretty much what the non-compatible means

Is there a mod that makes the world map model the same as the 1rst party member?
 
I'm stoked for bootleg 040 whenever it arrives.  I can't get 0390 working no matter what I try (most likely a specific problem with my computer build) but I have hopes for 40.  The start of this thread has an extensive and amazing tutorial for how to do everything manually (or what bootleg does) and it doesn't seem to cause any problems doing it manually but there are so many steps involved that it would be a huge pain to screw up somewhere down the line and have to fresh install for the 20th time (not kidding).  Aside from running bootleg is there an easy (yet not as easy) way to get a lot of bang for my buck without a huge time investment into a potential crash and redo?  I would venture a guess probably not because I kind of want it all heh.  So many amazing graphical improvements!
 
Make sure to configure the sound device after running Bootleg.

Run ff7config.exe as administrator and select the correct sound device.


I'm putting some finishing touches on Bootleg .040.
The Nightmare Overhaul is still on my to do list.
There's still a  lot of testing necessary before this release is ready.

Thanks PitBrat for the consideration.  I've tried that and many many other things.  I'm busy with school work now and FF7 isn't going anywhere so I'll wait, or if I get bored I'l learn how to do it by hand.  I appreceate all the hard work every member of this community does.  Thank you everyone.  Last thing, I do have one idea though.  Perhaps through some w7 oddity or maybe because of my specific motherboard the soundcard isn't seeing ff7 after bootleg runs.  Tomorrow I may try some tweaks card side while I'm doing some class reading and if the gods smile upon me that's what it is and I may have a viable solution for a few other posts I saw around the site.  If I don't edit this post with a positive solution then it didn't work (and it probably won't).

Again thank you PitBrat for all of your work.  Bootleg is the kind of utility a fan of ff7 dreams of.
 
Just one question...would the ff7 remix still be needed and downloaded for Bootleg 0400?!?? (saying to self hoping wishing imagining hard: pls say no pls say no fingers crossed) :o
 
There are only 2 things left in The Remix: the original APZ Cloud battle model and the OCRemix soundtrack.
Bootleg now includes the new APZ Cloud models but still supports the old version from The Remix because some people prefer that model's face.
I'm seriously considering repackaging the OCRemix soundtrack and adding it as a separate--much smaller-- download.
Though The Remix is still used from some options, Bootleg no longer requires it.
 
models are the same all you need to do is pack the texture. and oc remix isnt that in anxious heart?
 
The original APZ Cloud texture is partially ripped.  According to Qhimm rules, I cannot repackage it.
The OCRemix tracks from The Remix aren't included in Anxious Heart.

I can easily repackage the tracks.  The only source (at Qhimm) for the original APZ Cloud texture is The Remix.
 
Wow... I'm very happy now. I got it all working.  I believe the issue was my MOBO's built in soundcard came with special software.  I did a reformat today for kicks for the most part and did a minimalist install with just updating drivers and now Bootleg and FFVII works!  Happy days.  I was selecting the soundcard inside of ff7config but the VIA software must have been interfearing somehow because that is essentially the only difference.  Small problem, everything seems to be running perfectly except Barretts face looks like a screwed up robot.  I can post the app log if needed.  I'll play with some configurations and see what I do but eh.  Not a huge deal.  Anyway for anyone else who might be having similar problems try installing any fancy audio software that is running your speakers.  *shrug* worked for me.

Edit: I wonder if Barrett's face glitch comes from renaming the 1.0.6 hardcore mod to 1.0.5 so it would work with bootleg.  From what I read this shouldn't be a problem because mostly what the 1.0.6 mod does is allow a user to point to a 2012 version of the game.  Hmm may have to try a reinstall in the future.  It's not too bad, he just looks like a terminator with one eye blown away and half of his upper lip cut off but it does have some minor interference in the immersion experience.

It's probably just another error due to the broken ulgp tool. Essentially, the tool doesn't recompile the .lgp files correctly after installing the models you chose, so parts go missing. PitBrat is hoping for an update to it before the next Bootleg.
 
Hmm well if there happens to be any problematic glitches that happen (I can live with robo barrett) then would the solution just be to attempt a reinstall?

Well the most identical looking to the original APZ Cloud would be this:
https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/9213/
and for the OC Remix tracks i think i can remember i did repackage all of them and uploaded it to my Skydrive but i never knew this would be of any use to anyone so i removed it, gosh im an idiot  :'(
well if you want i can do it all for you even though Bootleg won't install on my current computer i can just install ff7 again and only install ff7remix just so i can get the tracks, repackage them and upload?? and then uninstall the game again until i get a capable pc of running Bootleg :)

Not really. The current solution would be to manually install your Barret model. Otherwise, PitBrat is aiming for a fix with the ulgp tool for the next Bootleg release.
 
E1sunz if ur going to repack the ocremix just use 7zip one the remix installer to dump the files.

Not sure if you mean me repacking all te tracks with 7zip instead of winrar? If so sure or you meant me downloading the zipped remix files? Not sure what you mean by dump, will do it tomorrow for sure :)
 
Seeing my works on the new bootleg somehow makes me ;D ;D ;D..
LoL I need to finish the cid soon so hopefully it will be included too.. :)
