Yep thats why.

Might as well tell you I also had some problem with music but fixed it after finding a download for ff7 music (which didnt install for me during bootleg) and tinkering with its settings.

My only problem now is I cant seem to change my prelude wallpaper at all through bootleg. Its just stuck on the JordieBo one no matter which I pick. I even tried following the note on the Grimmy Sephiroth (since Jordies links are dead) one to manually do it but it didnt change a thing. 

Quote:
"1. Back up original cr_us.lgp
2  replace with new cr_us.lgp, changing name from XXXXXXcr_us.lgp to cr_us.lgp"

I replaced it in the 2 locations I found the files ( data\ccr & data\cd) and nothing happened. Im sure theres an easy answer for this and Im missing something.
 
Theres just a diced up picture of the JordieBo wallpaper. Am I supposed to have a diced up pick of the wallpaper I want? Cause that didnt come in the zip.
 
Ok, thanks for the heads up on the graphics card. I knew I was doing everything correctly. I'l retry it on my desktop and just play the original on my laptop when I can. Thanks for the replies and carry on doing great work!
 
There are 5 files for the JordieBo wallpaper. Either raname them (remember the original names if you want to revert back), or cut/paste them to a backup folder. Then make a backup of ...data\cd\cr_us.lpg and paste the Grimmy Sephiroth into that folder, renaming it to cr_us.lpg. I just tested this and it works fine. This is a bug if you selected Grimmy's Sephiroth with Bootleg, so thanks for pointing it out  :)
 
Everything seems to work fine with my installation of FF7 2012 PC re-release with the Tifa Bootleg, except that on my first visit to the Gold Saucer, Dio's chest is missing.

Followed all instructions, and everything worked perfectly.  Well...so far anyway.  Just see lots of people having troubles, wanted to let you know that the instructions work for some people as well!

EQ2Alyza, I tried all that, the problem is theres no png images to replace the original. Isnt it? Cause moving those files changes nothing for me.

 I just now renamed a random wallpaper to one of the original diced up pics name (opback_b_00) and it came up when I loaded the game but only in a section. Guess Ill just dice the pic up in gimp the way the original was and then itll be fine. I have a better wallpaper in mind anyhow.

You need to delete the cache folder in your mods folder, if you are using compressed textures.

Kaldarasha suggested clearing the cache folder, so try that.

We're not trying to replace the PNGs, but rather remove them from the ...\mods\Bootleg\cr folder that way the game will move to registering cr_us.lpg. If by "nothing changes" you mean that Jordie's full wallpaper still shows, then the PNGs were not properly removed. Once they are removed from its folder and Grimmy's zip is extracted to its folder and renamed to cr_us.lpg, you're done. It 100% works for me, so I don't know what else advice to give  :-\

P.S. If you find an image you like, you could probably throw it in an editing program, split it into 6 parts, and save them as opback_a_00.png, opback_b_00.png, etc. and then replace them in the ...\mods\Bootleg\cr folder. I said before there were 5 parts, but there are actually 6. Sorry about that!

Can you open up your BFE.exe and post me the Brat code that it's in the Installation tab.

I already did all that this morning, thanks though. Also put custom music in. However, I went into battle and Tifa was the default one and her face is scary looking. How do I edit that manually?

Using that LGPGui tool is so awesome. I mess my ff7 install up on purpose sometimes just so I can fix it again. I need a new hobby.
 
I dont think its anything I did, I deleted everything and reinstalled it all with bootleg just to make sure. Also chose vanilla this time in case the remake changes did something.

Uhhhh... I have no idea how to do this. h-hellp. So I want to fix JKA Tifa if itll work. I downloaded the unpacker and theres five folders and inside each is a lgp.exe which double clicking it does nothing.. from what they talked about in other threads I need to use cmd with this? I also downloaded ulgpGUI_v0.5_aio which looks more straight forward with a LGP, Folder, Dump & Encode. Whichever is easiest would be the one I choose.

I guess my questions are what am I looking for and what am I doing with it when I find it? And whats the spreadsheet for?
 
It's late and I have to go to bed, so I'll explain tomorrow when I get home from work. Look for this post to be edited.


EDIT: Download this program: http://www.mediafire.com/?zxj5iyzzmwi

Make a back-up of your battle.lpg before using it.

No installation is required. Just open it and point it to the data folder inside your FF7 installation folder. It will then show "Unlpg" and "Rebuild" options. Check the box for "Unlpg battle.lpg" and it will unpack it and open a new folder. This folder contains all the parts for every battle model that is packed inside battle.lpg. The spreadsheet I linked was to help you be aware of all the file names and what characters they correspond to. Anyways, now you want to put your Tifa files inside this folder. It's okay to overwrite since you made a back-up of your battle.lpg. Now open the UNLPG+LPG tool again, point it to the data folder, and check the box for "Rebuild battle.lpg." It will then close the folder with all the model parts and repack it into a new battle.lpg file.

That's it. Pretty simple  8)
