Thank you to everyone who worked on this. I really appreciate all the time and effort. That being said, I have failed to install these mods properly. My problems are thus, and in the order they occurred:

1. The "Graphics Tab" never came up and asked me "enable the Aali's Custom Graphics Driver". Obviously, this did not allow me to check the proper sound tab as well.

2. I got an error message during the music installation that read:

3. FF7Music 1.51.13 Setup
    Installer corrupted: invalid opcode

4. The "Installing FF7 Music" never happened as well.

All of these things occurred in the Guides' step 9. Other than having no music (in or outside of battle) everything runs perfectly
smooth. When I click on "ff7music_install_15113.exe" I get the error code I mentioned in 3. I read on the forums that there are some known problems with 15113, and the fix is to run 15112. Am I correct in assuming this? If so, where can I find 15112?

I feel it is worth mentioning I installed this in D:\ not C:\, because all of the recommended paths are in C:\ - however I don't see this being a problem if I pathed everything correctly.

Thanks in advanced, this is a great community and I'm glad I found it.

EDIT: Didn't think to include my music.log, it may help...

Which Hardcore mod are you using? Normally is there no bossfight, so scene.bin is possibly not updated. :-\
 
Yes Terrified. I'm looking into it.

Can you post a screenshot of your error message, or type it out exactly as it states.

Are you playing the Hardcore Difficulty mod?

Here is how I did Floor 65. It did not require gathering the last piece or fighting its boss (I believe this is a Hardcore Difficulty feature?): www.youtube.com/watch?v=16T4eWYFUfE#t=51m28s

1. You can still access these features by opening FF7Config.exe in the main installation folder.

2/3/4. The installer isn't corrupt. Where did you download your 15113 version? Is OSTRe.7z downloaded as well? You can find the 15112 version by opening the Mod Listing in BFE.exe and clicking the download link. Or, you can visit here and look for it in the Sound and Music section: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/8349/

The driver letter doesn't matter, so long as the game isn't installed in a systems folder on your main OS drive. Your D:\ is fine.
 
I have already posted this in the Bootleg thread, but it can easily become buried away under all the posts. Is anyone willing to help?

I am not dead! Sorry guys, I'm still here.

We are currently seeking helpers who would answer people's questions. We are currently three and cannot be everywhere at any time. I was also considering registering an IRC channel for the sole purpose of Bootleg. The current IRC channel serves this purpose well but it is also a general chat channel frequently. Most (to not say all) people there do not even know what Bootleg is or how to help, and people usually mistakenly think so (I don't blame them for that, it's my fault for putting general and specific chat in a same place). If there are enough people interested, I will consider it. If not, it will stay as it is right now.

What we want:

- Someone fluent in at least one programming language to code an IRC bot to help users;
- People willing to help, both here and on IRC;
- People fluent in at least two languages, including English;
- People fluent in VB.NET and/or Batch to debug Bootleg pre-release;
- People able to use the various modding tools (even if only a few);
- Anything else, feel free to apply!

We would prefer people who are nice and treat others nicely most of the time.

"The main thing is converting all of the buster swords to work with the 100+ Cloud field and world map models."

If you are interested in any of the above, you might reply, send a PM to me and PitBrat (make sure to send to both) or join the IRC channel, also irc.esper.net #Vgr

If you are interested in having another channel designed for Bootleg, you may reply, send a PM or join the IRC channel (see above). If enough people want it, I will take necessary steps.

Thank you for your response EQ2Alyza.

I found and executed the ff7music, and followed the steps of the tutorial from there. Still, no sound.

As an impatient child, I just took the route of uninstalling/deleting everything (save for bootleg040 and Tifa's bootleg files), and am in the process of doing everything again. I'm not sure where I went wrong - I'm hoping it's just some computer voodoo. I'll let you know how I get on.

Also, every file I got was a link from this exact thread/tutorial.

Edit: I again want to reiterate that everything else worked perfectly fine, and there was movie and menu sound - just no battle sound or soundtrack in the background.

jinrok,

Please screenshot all the tabs in your BFE.exe, upload them somewhere, and send them to me in a PM.

Computer voodoo would be nice. I actually played last night, and when I started up the game I had no music. The sound effects and FMV's could be heard. So, I reboot my computer and it un-voodoo'd itself. I'm not a computer guru, but I've used Bootleg long enough to never have that happen before. I can't explain why the reboot gave me back the music. Now, I reboot my computer every time before I start the game.
 
I'm not sure what changed in Windows 7 a few months back, but after some updates I've had all sorts of problems with Windows switching the audio output device.  Even though the default sound device is set correctly, Windows sometimes chooses to use a different output device.  This happens a lot when I'm using Media Player and watching YouTube videos at the same time.  I can usually fix it by closing everything and toggling the default device back and forth.  Rebooting does pretty much the same thing.

Could the fact I completely disconnect my internet while doing the install cause 1.51.13 to fail? The installation process went the exact same this time. I'm fairly certain that I am following all of the steps properly - any ideas? Any logs or screens I could post that would help? Sorry to be such a bother, I'm not usually so terrible at these things.

The only reason I mention disconnecting from the internet is that it's the only extra precaution I take that isn't listed in the section about turning off anti-virus software. I turn off windows firewall as well as AVG.

Edit: Here's some stuff and things.

All I can think is that somehow, the music files aren't in the right folder because I get the error message and have to install the ff7music.exe outside of the bootloader. Can any of you take a look at these pictures and tell me if something seems out of place to you - or let me know which screens you would require to deduce this problem?

There is a good chance the disconnecting from the internet will cause ff7music 1.51.13 to fail.
Use ff7music 1.51.12 instead.  It has far fewer bugs and doesn't require an internet connection.

Thank you for your reply PitBrat. I will try this immediately. I am assuming that this should be done on a fresh install of ff7, not just downloaded and run?

Yes, install the game and then run Bootleg. Running Bootleg without the game installed will not work.
