[FF7] Tutorial for Bootleg - Tifa's Bootleg

EQ2Alyza · Apr 13, 2014

thanks, I will try and see if I can work it out, otherwise I will wait for an update. Is it going to be long though?

I also found out that not able to recruit Yuffie the normal way and just hacking her into the party will also not trigger the Wutai side quest where she steals your materias, though the pagoda fights still trigger properly, and so do the gold saucer date. Not sure what causes the freeze during the mystery ninja fight, is it related to any of the mods for her models?

Loving your work, thanks for all your help so far.

If I can get access to a save file that isn't touched by Black Chocobo, then I can test it out. I'd prefer it to be around a forest area prior to the Mystery Ninja fight if possible.

Just bought FFVII from steam, followed word to word to the last part of the instruction.
Everything turns out good except for one thing, the prelude credit is not the Grimmy Tifa prelude credit as I selected.
Can you show me how to fix this?

DoomWingAngel · Apr 13, 2014

thanks, but I tend not to make more than 1 saves and have already reached Icicle Inn, maybe if I try with my other computer I will have a new save file that I can send you, but that might take a few days of time to reach there.

Since I've played through that part of the story a few years back, I still remember it, and I just added the missed items and material with black chocobo.

but I will let you know if I get there on my other computer.

thanks for the offer though, really appreciate it.

I remember this a little while back when I was installing. Have you installed FF7 to a non-system folder? (aka program files, etc)
I use C:\Games\FF7
install bootleg into the same directory, but in a different folder.
I use C:\Games\Bootleg

should work once that happens, make sure Bootleg is set to run as Administrator by default through the Property tab.

Guys there are some graphic glitches with grimmy's upscaled textures, e.g here (black squares around rock parts)

The textures that give this problem are energy00_00.png and energy00_03.png into C:\Games\FF7\mods\Bootleg\Magic\ff7\data\battle\special\hado, without them looks like this (pixelled rock parts)

I tryed myself to give a shot http://www.imagebam.com/image/e6daaf320761440 with PS for remove the "black" backgound as grimmy sayed in his thead but stil not looks good (white lines)

Anyone please could give me a feed about how fix the textures correctly?

Pixel · Apr 15, 2014

I have figured out for my settings I unchecked on Texutes the Battle Scene as LGP and it worked! no erros after that and no crashes

Thanks for the reply EQ2Alyza

can anyone seed the torrent with all mods ? trying to download it since 4 days 88.1 % :-\

EQ2Alyza · Apr 15, 2014

Is your torrent named "Tifa's Package [Bootleg040 Mods - 4.12.2014]"?

magiec · Apr 15, 2014

Yes Its 17,1 GB big

The pixels of the textures in battle can only have the status visible or not visible (the alpha canal can be only 0 or 100, but not between those two). Transparent looking effects are placed on transparent polygons.

Still need a Seeder. I'm at 93.8% atm.
Thanks for the seed yesterday!

Vgr · Apr 16, 2014

Seeding right now.

zanderus · Apr 17, 2014

I've been sitting on 93.8% for 2 days now. The mod preview looks fantastic. I'm so eager for it to finish ;D

If someone is able to seed me to 100%, i'd be more than happy to let it seed on my server box indefinitely. :mrgreen:

EQ2Alyza · Apr 17, 2014

I'm seeding now.

zanderus, is there anyway we can keep in touch outside of the forums? In case there is to be an update to the torrent, I'm always looking for seedboxes that want to help host our mods. Let me know

Pixel · Apr 17, 2014

Hi Hitachis, have you solved your problem with Bootleg? try this D:\PogramsFiles\FINAL FANTASY VII\MODS\Tifa's Package [Bootleg040 Mods]\Bootleg040 do make sure that in the Bootleg before running the mods search in the Mod source that is in the right location, also check if the Destination Location where you install final fantasy VII is showing there rigth.

thats all I know :/ if not try to do a fresh install of ff7 thats my last option. sorry if I am not a big help :/

Good luck friend!

magiec · Apr 17, 2014

Thanks for the Seed guys! finally got 100% i willl keep seeding for a while now
