I fixed all the broken links. Let me know if you find anything else wrong  :)
 
Great tutorial, but the boot loader does not work, and I can run the game directly from the .EXE though. It tries to run the game but ends up canceling and closing out. It doesn't error or anything, so there are really no leads for me to go on.
 
Helladen,
Did you install the game to a non-system folder such as C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\ ??
Installing to a system folder like .\Program Files\ or .\Users\ causes problems.
 
The mods run fine for the most part, except the battle model for Cloud remained unchanged, but yes I installed it in C://Square Soft, Inc.//Final Fantasy 7.
 
Some systems prevent Bootleg from installing mods to battle.lgp.
Are you running any anti-virus software?
Does the account from which you run Bootleg have administrator privileges?
What version of Windows are you using?
 
Windows 8, it has administrative permissions, and my anti-virus would of popped up if it did anything - I use Avast. I'll look into it further, but all I use at the moment is Bootleg - UMI/other mods have not been added in yet, because I am still setting up my mod selection.
 
Hi,

Thanks for this thread its been really helpfull - and has opened my eyes to modding FFVII.

Bootleg is a great tool and has renewed my interest in this classic game - however I am having a problem acquiring all of the mods I need which appear in red in the mod manager.

Most of the Links on the red bars given in the program are dead - especially the mediafire ones... I have found links in this thread which has helped but a lot of them are on filesharing sites - so a 100mb file can take hours due to throttle from the filehost.

Is there a complete mod collection available of all all supported mods as one download?

Perhaps as a torrent?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.
 
Thanks :)

I had no idea there was this many mods - the torrent is HUGE!

I have been downloading a lot of these mods overnight individually, I just had to brave mediafire's ridiculous throttling.

3-4 more files to go and I am good to go  8-)
 
Most of the mods now have Google docs links.
Check out The Big List of FF7 Mods.

Many of the Rapidshare links expired due to lack of downloads.
I'm slowly mirroring everything on Fileden.
Pejeeshare has a high rate of failure.  It's frustrating to have to upload files again and again.
 
Thanks for the info PitBrat!

I have got all of the mod files I need, and installed through bootlegger, but now I have a whole different problem.

No sound in menu's, Battle SFX or in FMV's...

I read in a thread about this problem that a reinstall might work - although I am inclined to believe it could be a mod causing the problem :(

Just to clarify - I don't have to install any patches after a fresh install of FFVII do i? Just a clean out of the box installation, then the bootlegger mods by following this tutorial?

Configure the sound driver in ff7config.exe.

Run FF7Config.exe as administrator.
Go to the SOUND tab.
Select the correct sound card.
Click OK to save and exit.

Q:Why is there no sound in the game?  Why is the music playing from a different sound device than the game sounds?
A:You need to configure the sound and/or MIDI device.
  Run .\FF7Config.exe as Administrator
  In the SOUND tab, select the 'Sound Driver'
  In the MIDI tab, select the 'MIDI Driver' and the 'MIDI Data'
  Click OK to save the settings
  Open the Volume Mixer
  Adjust the volume for the playback device, applications and FF7 executable

We've all been there and done that  :P Once it's over with, you never have to do it again.

Thanks again Pit, I will try this out asap as I already started a fresh install before I saw your post!

I did set up the Sound Driver but didn't even look at MIDI as it was not in the Tutorial in the first post :)

Hopefully I will actually get to play FF7 some time today!
 
Hi everyone,

First of all I'd like to say how amazed I am by how beautiful you guys have made the now outdated (though still brilliant) FFVII look! Thank you for putting so much effort in to this.

I myself own the original FFVII for psx and I just downloaded the "new" version on the Square Enix Store.

On the first page of this topic EQ2Alyza mentions that it isn't clear yet if the bootleg/mods work on this "new" version. Seeing how that post is 2 months old I was wondering if someone can tell me if it's now known whether the bootleg/mods work on the "new" version,

Forgive me if this has already been answered, but I couldn't find it plus I'm new to this forum.

Thanks in advance :)

Bootleg is currently not going to work for the re-release version. You will have to manage installing what you want individually and manually. Check for updates in this post: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/8995/

It will take some time to catch up, but don't stress over it. Learn and enjoy what you read. It is actually pretty fun to see how it's all done  :)
 
Thanks for the quick reply!

So, correct me if I'm wrong, I can install the mods I find here, I just can't use the bootleg?

That would be awesome! I'll do the research on this forum and keep you updated! :D
