Sorry to post about this 3 times. But I would like to know how to fix the no sound effects issue I am having with the game. I can't really play if all I hear is music and nothing else :/
 
I don't know if that's the issue but it would require you to follow Alyza's steps for reinstalling Bootleg.
 
Hi there guys, me (the n00b) again.
I've been playing the game just fine and I love all the mods I've installed, but I've been running into a bit of a small but annoying issue: the music is too loud compared to sound effects.
You see, this is not so bad (yet still perceptible) when playing with the speakers, but on headphones the mixing between the music (using the remastered version) and the sound effects is just plain uneven. I could barely hear anything that happened besides the battle BGM on the Jenova BIRTH battle.
That's not a dealbreaker issue, but it is pretty annoying and pulls me out of the experience.
Is there any way I can adjust the sound levels?

Are you using FF7Music?. If so, start FF7Music, go to configure, then change it from your output plugin.

Have you set the right sound card in the FF7 config? FF7 Music changes automatically if you use a HDMI output, but FF7 needs to be changed separately.
 
Hello all!  I jumped on this boat PRETTY late in the game. :) I'm excited to play my favorite Final Fantasy in such a beautiful fashion after being away from it for so long, and the tutorial is quite comprehensive.  I had a pretty easy time figuring everything out.  I HAVE been looking around for a bug that I'm experiencing and haven't been able to find an answer, however.  Let me try to be as specific as possible.  I'm using the AC Yuffie mod made by Grimmy and I am outside of Junon after having traversed the Mythril Caves.  No problems thus far in the game.  I experience a strange crash when I battle her.  It seems typical that the game crashes following the battle, but the problem I experience is slightly different.  Upon encountering her, her shuriken shakes fairly violently, and after I hit her ONCE the camera stays on her in-battle and I can't progress.  My characters are still animated, the music still plays, but I can't continue the battle. 

I have run it in compatibility mode and as an administrator, and I'm not sure where to go from here.  One thread noted that I needed to run it in software rendering mode--not sure what this means.  Any ideas, everyone? I don't want to NOT get Yuffie, and it's too early to abandon the game. :D
 
Hi, i have a question, if i install the Aeris Revival Patch in Spanish Ff7, i'll keep the spanish texts?

You mean in the "buffer length" bar?

EDIT: Oh, forget it, there's the volume bar right there.

Walter255,
Grimmy's AC Yuffie is broken. Don't use her!

Rukenu,
Applying the Spanish translation to the Aeris Revival mod will only translate parts of the modified scenes. Aeris' dialogue will  still be in English.
 
hi i have a new problem. after doing the tiny bronco dialog when the thing crashes, i get sent back to the MT. Nibel area. i dont get tiny bronco at all. how do i get it?
 
Was this after a Bootleg install? Did you follow the tutorial? Please post the size of your FF7 game folder before and after a Bootleg install (in any case, I suggest re-installing the game + Bootleg following the tutorial).
 
Erm,

Has anyone found issues with Chocobo Breeding? Looks like the appropriate menu options from Billy at the Chocobo Farm don't relate to what the text says. For example I kept clicking "Mate a Chocobo" and nothing happened, then tried to feed one which took me to the mating options. Eventually got a Green chocobo (again the options when selecting which nut to feed them were all jumbled up, selecting yes resulted in picking the nuts again, clicking another exited the menu and clicking leave until later resulted in a yes) but clicking the "Ride a Chocobo" option gives me the same result as the "Mate a Choco" option, nothing happens.

Really messed up
 
Hi

I've got the Steam version, and followed the instructions to download EQ2Alyza's mod list using the torrent and so forth. This all seemed to work, but when I try to run the game, it doesn't register any inputs. It loads up: an empty command prompt, what looks like a starting screen for FF7 music, and the game itself (here's a screenshot: http://imgur.com/1cny7vp).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Default input is the numpad keys. If you don't have a numpad, then you need to install the laptop keyboard fix.
 
I know that this isn't the place for it, or perhaps it is, but I figured since this thread was still active I would ask. I have two questions/concerns I wanted to voice. I will list them below. First I am not running into any errors with the actual functionality or playabilty of the game, it runs fine, I followed EQ2Alyza's guide and everything runs like a charm. Now for the reason I'm posting.

Question/Concerns
1. After installing and running everything, my virus protection did it's daily auto scan and found 5 cases of Sprinkles.7z being malicious files. I'm assuming this is nothing to worry about and just a false positive correct?
2. I started off by making a copy of my Steam Copy file (Final Fantasy VII) folder and pasting it to (K:\Games\FF7) and made another folder (K:\Games\FF7\FF7 Mods). After everything is installed and running, I can launch both my Steam Vanilla Version and my modded version, the thing is is that my steam version still has all Achievements and acts as if the modded game had no correlation. I read that it was supposed to have the opposite effect?
 
Edit: Found the answer in the trouble shooting thread. Must have went over it too fast last time.

Edit 2: Yep that worked. My apologies for not looking hard enough the first time!

I have a quick question regarding Bootloader - Do I absolutely have to start FF7 through it if I installed mods? The only way I could run Bootleg was on my laptop which I guess doesn't meet the specifications, so I was thinking of just moving my FF7 folder onto my desktop (can't install it there because I don't have admin rights), which would leave me SOL if Bootloader is needed.
 
There's more installed than what's just in the FF7 directory. You'll need to get admin rights and install the game if you want to play it on your desktop. You don't have to use bootloader, but unless you're using 7thHeaven for mods you're better off just using it anyway.
