[FF7] Tutorial for Bootleg - Tifa's Bootleg

[Template]

So the game worked before I applied all the mods. I then applied the mods, and now it's back to the black screen crash problem.

I'd start over and read the FAQ. Complete uninstall.

Well. this problem is clear. But when i'm load my party I got a black screen

hmmm. are you using mode switcher?

 

[Pantera31619]

I did uninstall the game though. By complete, do you want me to delete the mod torrent with the game?

 

[Template]

no not the torrent! lol that would suck
in the boot40 FAQ theres a section at the bottom about steam reinstalls
if u did that lets look at the app.log again. what are u using to launch the game? bootloader? might need change movie path or something

 

[Pantera31619]

I am using the bootloader to launch the game. Here's my app.log report.

You need to enable Aali's driver. This is the second instance I've seen where Bootleg fails to do that for you -_-

 

[Pantera31619]

I just set it, and it's still crashing after a full black screen.

That looks odd. I don't know man... I'm thinking you didn't uninstall correctly and do GameConverter correctly or it woulda already been using Aali's custom driver.

If you use GameConverter it will prompt you to open ff7config.exe and put a choco icon for it on your desktop. It beeps too... It should auto choose aali's custom driver for renderer when you open it.

➣ Why are there two movie folders? <OR> Why is my movie folder empty? <OR> Why is my game crashing on the opening movie?

GameConverter purposely does not alter the original movie folder in any way. By default bootleg uses the movies folder located in the main FFVII install directory (like the original PC release). If you wish to use the new release videos simply change the movie path in the Bootloader config, as illustrated here:

This step should be taken if there are any crashes related to using the default bootleg movies folder. 
If you wish to save space, you can do that, be careful about which movies you want to keep and which you delete, then same as above set the movie path as desired. You can move them to another drive completely, if you like.     

About Steam Reinstalls:

Reinstall completely (make sure everything is deleted from the game install folder) and use Kompass63's Registry tool before reinstalling ff7 and then using Kompass63 Game Converter.9b, Start the game to test it once after the Game Converter. Then install bootleg.

GameConverter.9b is specifically made to be compatible with STEAM ff7 and bootleg (It works on Windows XP, 7&8 ).

 

[Pantera31619]

Nobody knows how to fix this It was using the custom driver at first. But I changed it around to see if it worked with different renderers.

I think you are probably just in such a hurry to play you aren't taking the time to do this complicated process carefully. I know how frustrating this crap can be believe me. Take a break and come back- start completely over, that's my advice. STEAM is by far the most frikkin annoying POS rerelease to mod. It saved us a dollar. We shall overcome. You might go back to latest driver version, if you didn't already. Seems like it works for someone else...

i used a Nvidia cards with 320.49 driver.

It's probably best if you focus your frustration on me instead of your computer or furniture at this point

Failed to load: F:\FF7\FINAL FANTASY VII\Data\battle/battle.lgp

Ha, that's what happened to me once!

BFE.exe & Bootleg & Game need 40 GB of free space on the HDD.
If not enough space is free, not disassemble the eg battle.lgp and/or reassembled.
Place the temp path to another HDD.

It was using the custom driver at first. But I changed it around to see if it worked with different renderers.

Unfortunately this does not work, because of the movies.
To play the movie is the plugin of Aalis driver indispensable.

 

[Pantera31619]

The HDD it's on has 1.5 TB left though...

 

[Kompass63]

The HDD it's on has 1.5 TB left though...

One partition? It with Win8?

I like to share my HDD into two parts, 50GB for Win7 and the rest as data partition, games and other ...

 

[Pantera31619]

I have two separate HDD's, and I am using Windows 7.

 

[Kompass63]

Where should make BFE the Temporary Files and how much free space is there?

Do you have a file "battle.lgp" in your "[gamefolder]\data\battle", which modification date and how big is it?

 

[Pantera31619]

There is 1.5 TB on the HDD where the BFE makes the temporary files go. And there is no battle.lgp in my battle folder.

 

[Kompass63]

And there is no battle.lgp in my battle folder.

This is inexplicable...

Please add the "Bootleg.log" as [ code ] (the # when editing) here.

 

[Pantera31619]

Post the brat code on the forum?

 

[Kompass63]

Bratcode nothing of use to me, "Bootleg.log" should be in your game folder.
If you do not want to make public that, you can also send me a PM ...

But possibly find many eyes more than just two :-D


I have for fun search the term "battle.lgp" in the bootleg.bat, it is used 370 times...
