Just delete the registry entries, do a fresh install, then do bootleg. That will resolve every issue ;D

Option 1) Download the Compilation version first, extract its files, and run the setup.exe.

Option 2) If you still crash, try downloading the 2 files for Models and Textures, extract them, and run each of their setup.exe.

I do not know if either of these options will overwrite everything associated with the Fort Condor Battle, so if you are still crashing after trying both of them, then I would safely assume that Bootleg 040 installs the corrupted v1.02 texture pack for the Fort Condor Battle. So, what you need to do is uninstall and delete everything and start with a fresh installation again. Next, run Bootleg with the Strayoff's Condor option left unchecked. After it finishes installing the mods, run the Compilation version setup.exe and hopefully everything should work. The Compilation version installs the slightly older v1.01 texture pack, but at least it was a working version.
 
sorry but all the files says Invalid or Deleted File. i already checked all the links ... dont work :(
 
hey its been a few days and im ready to try this again i dont think i read the instructions all the way through the first time and when reading them again i realized i had some questions that might help me to install bootleg properly this time around. or if not bootleg at least some of the mods

1 do i need aalis graphics driver properly installed before i run bootleg and also do i still need to play the game all the way to the first save point and fill up the save slots?
2 do i need the official patches before i run bootleg? such as windows xp patch and the 1.2
3 failing to make bootleg work properly, in what order would i go about installing these, any that should be installed first or last? or never mixed ect.
4 ive read before bootleg came out you guys used lgptool.exe or lgpedit.exe forget what its called but can someone give me a link to its instructions? this seems to install one mod at a time last i checked so i can use it to see what patches i am compatible with.
5 believe it or not i had the game running at 100% with high definition and advent children character models, almost all the overhaul menu options on, bootlegs field models, basicly every option you could pick, i played through disk one before i decided to uninstall it and do vanilla difficulty instead of hardcore, and thats when it craped out on me and never worked again. i did that with no graphics card and an onboard intel chipset which im now aware it says intel wont work with bootleg.
any specific mods that do not need a graphics card and are intel friendly? (besides phoenix rebirth and reunion patch i have those they work 100% =D) edit* looks like the avalanche high res patch works with intel chipset no graphics cards as well

woah woah woah, Just uninstall, delete registry entries, then reinstall bootleg and run the Front End.

Also, probably the only mods you can't use with an old chipset are a few models such as the world vehicle models and kela51's red.

Are you clicking on the links called FILE in my above post? Because they work just fine for me, all 3 of them. The QHIMM link takes you to the original thread, and all its download links are broken as you describe.
 
as far as i know bootleg isnt a "installed program" its just a zip file i dont click yes or anything so i cant install it, so therefore i couldnt uninstall it. yes i am aware now it makes registry and temp admin entries and i deleted them each time, yes i click your links, i now have all the mods. but bootleg for some reason, not the mods themselves, but bootleg itself makes it so chipsets will not work. using them one at a time, im done modding now, i have my ff7 fully modded, i just had to use the mods 1 at a time instead of using bootleg to do it, when i do them one at a time i can use all mods in the torrent, so my questions are nulled all i have to say is for future no graphics card users, with intel or (just about any) chipset users, don't use bootleg at all, its completely 100% graphics card dependent and you should download the mods 1 at a time from the "big list of ff7 mods" link in the tuterial.  extract and use the read me file to install manually. use high wind to add to your lgp archives. the aalies lgp/unlgp is now banned or not supported. (at least in my state) i cant find it on google. this worked for me.

also i might add that at one point in time bootleg did actually work one time, and installed all the mods, but just that once. after i uninstalled all the game and deleted registry and temp files it never worked again. this way is a tad longer but if you copy your original ff7 into a random folder its actually easier. you can mess up infinite times with any mod and just delete all the files in squaresoft and copy your copy back into that folder. this is what i did and now i have the ac models and all that i posted a wile ago.

 also i would like to give a thanks to the people who made the mods and torrents themselves i never thought id play a childhood game in such good graphics! the creators of phoenix rebirth patch especially that was the first and easiest mod to install, i just downloaded it took one second, read this guide very easy to do instructions http://www.instructables.com/id/Final-Fantasy-7-mods/step2/Phoenix-Rejuvenation-Project/, replaced my char lgp and world lgp with the ffprp ones (use the link i just gave you very easy instructions) and my game was fully modded 100% with no glitches. avalanche also! this mod was very fast to install and works 100% so far. all you do is click yes, thats the only thing you do for that mod and it adds alot, no glitches what so ever even using a chipset. on top of those 2 i used the uo3 installer program, which is basicly from what i see as another bootleg.exe program, this also works with no graphics card. not as easy as phoenix patch and avalanche (some mods appear as white shapes depending on d3d and aalis graphics custom) but still works if you do trial and error. the "reshaded" section is my favorite part of this mod installer. thanks to all of you for your hard work. also eq2 for the torrent of the mods, altho bootleg itself didnt work except that one time and is mostly graphics card dependent the torrent was fast and gave me some of the mods i needed =D ty

Backup the folder called "save" before you uninstall. After your new install, copy/paste the save folder back into the main installation folder.
 
Does anyone have any issues with the master materia?
cause when i add them with black chocobo it won't come up as "Master Magic, Command and Summon"
intead i get coin, banish and flash in place of where i put the master ones.
unless black chocobo is the problem itself which i don't think it could...
cause most everything else works fine
help?
thanks in advance
 
You're playing the Hardcore Difficulty Mod, which changes the Master Materia to those 3 you stated.

Hi cloud15,

As the "Postprocessing initialization failed" already indicates the used filter is not working for you.
You can try a different filter or postprocessing it off entirely.

Open the file "ff7_opengl.cfg" with notepad, look for the line "enable_postprocessing = on", replace it with "enable_postprocessing = off" and save this.
 
just found "enable_postprocessing = yes" and i replaced it with "no or off" AND STILL NOT WORKING
