Quick question.

Just installed a bunch of mods and seems to be working great.

However, not a huge fan of the "New SoundFX" mod. Anyway to back that one out?

There is none. You will need to start over with a fresh install.
 
Looking for some help. Everything was working fine when I installed yesterday. Now when I boot up the game I'm only getting the top left portion of the "screen" to show up. It looks like all of the display settings are what they used to be so I'm not sure what I did.

 
What is your game's resolution and what is your monitor's recommended resolution?
 
My computers current resolution is set at 1920x1080 (HDTV). Bootloader shows the Screen Resolution at Width 1920 by Height 1080. Internal Resolution is not checked but listed at 3840x2160
 
for more info, I'm using Windows 8 and here is the APP.LOG:

edit:

I've also discovered that if I launch the game in Windowed mode (unchecking Full Screen in the loader) it comes up the same size, but now it looks like im in the middle of the "screen"

Try putting your internal resolution to the same as your screen resolution in FF7Config. And instead of double posting, use the modify button.
 
Someone had the same problem and the reason for the issue was a too high DPI value.

Thank you. How about if I want to load a new char model? Can that be done using boot loader commands?

Also, sound seems to work pretty well but every now and then the background music will not play in certain areas. Not a huge deal but a bit annoying. Wondering if anyone else has this problem.
 
If you want to use a new model, just go into FF7Config, change direct mode to on or yes I forget which, and then put the files that are all letters in the correct folder inside [ff7 directory] /direct
 
Please make note of this issue since noone can help me restore my old ff7 registry entries... in case someone else can help with this. Thanks!

How do I adjust the DPI value? (I'm not having luck searching google for an answer.)
 
Hey, I'm new to this site. The thought of playing an upgraded FF7 sounds amazing, but I have a few questions first!

1) I have the ISO copy from my CDs, as the CDs themselves long since stopped working. I have no qualms about upgrading to the 2012 PC version that SE sells online, but I just want to clarify it works beforehand.

2) On that same note, I use Windows 8 (unfortunately) and my resolution is 1366x768. I would hope neither of these prove a problem.

3) Lastly, if you couldn't tell already I've never done any sort of modifications previously, so if I get stuck somewhere in the process of installing Boot Leg I would be able to get assistance.

I eagerly await your reply! These mods look fantastic, and I'd know quite a few people to pass the word along to!
 
The 2012 version is fully supported. Look Here. I don't know about Windows 8 but I assume it works fine.

My thanks! But unfortunately that only answers one of my three questions. Two to go before I'm an official convert  :wink:
 
I already said Windows 8 should be fine and question 3 doesn't really need to be asked since that is the entire purpose of this tutorial thread.

First of all, you will need to BUY the English Version if you don't have it.

I have completely forgotten to say, that this is not up to date anymore. With the FF7 Game Converter created by Kompass63 you can make any language (French, German and Spanish) equivalent to the English one.
It's also a good demonstration how DLPB's Tools could be used.
 
Having a bit of a problem.  The first few installations ran fine except I missed some things I wanted to add but forgot to check them. Now everything's almost perfect. EXCEPT the music Bug. At first I had music. Now there is none. When I uncheck the music Plugin there IS music. But delayed. Everything music should play it's playing about 2 seconds later.

Not that big but it's annoying. Now I uninstalled the game again and installed a fresh copy + Bootleg. Before that I cleaned the mod folder. Now, again, no music or with the Plugin unchecked it's delayed. Anyone got an idea?


Edit1:// Everytime I run FF VII now FFVII Music pops out. It says run FFVII, configure and close. I think I have to configure it. But what to do?

EDIT2:// GOT IT! I'm using the original Soundtrack. The MusicFFVII Config said it was using the new one. I didn't install the new one so there were no Sound Files the game could use. I switched to psd or psf whatever the name is. Now I got it. Don't mind.


And btw NICE Mod. =)

Hi there!  First off thank you so much for all your hard work on this mod!  It has been some great fun up to this point.

Also just an FYI to anyone curious I have been running it on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit and it works great.

However, I started messing with the bootloader configuration and accidentally moved some files so everything got all screwed up (didn't even have battle music!!), so I'm deciding to start fresh.  I have seen you post many many times to COMPLETELY UNINSTALL the entire game before trying again so I'm going to do my best to do that and hopefully achieve optimal results.

I uninstalled FF7 and FF7Music from the control panel (made a backup of what I hope is my save file -- save00.ff7), and it looks like all the files associated with it are gone.  Going to reinstall the 2012 version to C:/Games/FF7 because I originally had it installed under /ProgramFiles(x86).  My question is what Registry Entries (I'm assuming using regedit) do I need to delete in order to have a completely clean start?  Also, since I used to have it installed under program files is there anything else in C:/Games/FF7Mods I need to delete? Or are those files only used during the installation process?  Also there is another folder in C:/Games called "Downloads" that has a folder with an application (FF7_v1.0.5) and a couple of .bin files.... leave this be or delete it?

Sorry for the flood of questions I just want to get my install done right this time and then never touch it again!

Lastly, I am running this on a HD4850 with 512MB of RAM, 12GB system ram, 2.66GHz Quad Core, can you suggest optimal settings for the bootloader (and elsewhere)?

Thanks a bunch!!!

Edit: I didn't make any registry edits (because I didn't know which ones to do), but reinstalling into the new directory worked great, although no option came up where I had to select graphics and sound tabs like in the first install.  Things are working great though, thanks again for your work on this.
