Woops on a double post (didn't realize this was being sent to the 12th page)

i placed the "core" files in first... then the FF7 "music" folder in,, and finally the "flevel" files into the main folder

i clicked to start it .. says insert disc  .. must i mount something?? that wasn't included in the Home discussion links?

you need the discs ( real or images ) mounted ( or in your CD drive ) to run the game
this isn't limited to my mod though, thats just how FF7 works
 
Hey Tenko, I just saw your post in the Hardcore mod thread.

Yeah, I've been looking at the Nightmare mod (I'm assuming you meant this one). One thing that's putting me off is that it requires a Bootleg installation and I'm not sure that I've got enough room left in the HDD for that or how it would affect my older mods (I'm using things like Ficedula FF7Music and an old version of Aali's Graphics).

I was reading the features bit. Is it possible to get a version of this mod that's pared down to just the battles, the kernel, etc.? Something I could just stick into a data folder and then plug n' play? I'm not really into the new graphics or music stuff, I just want the gameplay challenge. Is that possible?
 
the overhaul itself doesn't include any new graphics beside the new models from gjoerulvs hardcore mod.  This mod replaces the kernel, scene.bin, flevel and the .exe as well as the music folder because it forces a new OST. bootleg doesn't require you to have the full list of mods. you can just install nightmare.
 
Found something pretty intresting today I had ff7 installed on my pc bootlegged with nightmare conversion, then preceded to install bootleg again with all mod changing with Aries revival. This leads to some good effects, you get to keep the knightmare conversion with the changes made in that mod like character following and changes to the games text and the hidden items and extras, but the difficulty is changed to that of the phoenix rejuvination mod so in the end if want all the other great changes made by the nightmare mod but finding it too hard bootleg over the bootleg and have the best of all worlds ;D

Wow epic discovery that's pretty awesome :D
 
This will not work for the entire game
Namely, whenever you have to fight a 'new' ( not in vanilla ff7 ) boss, the game will crash and you wont be able to proceed
This is because you swapped out the scene.bin with another one with the bootleg re-install.

I am not going to support any problems that arise from messed up installs.

Well so far I have had no problems and I am just about to fight apps in wauti so I am half way through disk 1, so I will let you know when I have finished disk 1 for witch your mod works up too let you know if there has been any crashes.
 
Wutai is enforced to be on Disc 1 and before Temple of the Ancients in this mod. You cannot start the keystone quest before you finished Wutai. I forgot if I made the Pagoda optional but it's possible I didn't or only made the last floor optional.

And I assume he means Raps, Conero's second pet ( And Wutai is near the end of CD1. It could also be he means wallmarket and Apps but that wouldn't fit with halfway-through-CD1 )
you shouldn't be able to get past the new bosses ( like, in Shinra HQ, the triple named soldier battle from Gjoerulvs Hardcore mod. Unless you have the scene set up correctly, the game would crash or start some kind of bogus battle ) if you replace the scene.bin

Just don't tamper with the mod install unless you really know how the files work together and what you're doing.

Just cleared Demons gate in the Temple of the Ancients Cloud at level 64 and still not run into any problems. What I acually done was fresh install of FF7 tehn bootlegged FF7 with nightmare conversion and the other mods I wanted, after that I proceeded to bootleg FF7 again but this time with all gameplay mods changeable including hardcore mod. So at the mo I am play it with the great chang4es of nightmare conversion but with lost wing difficulty and I have had no troubles.
 
Hope I'm posting this in the correct thread. This SEEMS to be the Nightmare 7 thread. I need to say that I installed the mod EXACTLY as required with bootleg and all. It works wonderful (& difficult). :-) I did find a couple bugs with this mod, though.

#1 Junk Shop at Wall Market. Not a big deal, but when I entered there was a .... ghost duplicate of Aeris to the left of the entrance. No graphical glitches on screen or in the menu or otherwise. Can't interact with her, nor does she hinder movement. Similar to seeing her in her church before she disappears, but in Wall Market Junk Shop she doesn't disappear.

#2 in Train yard after climbing up from dealing with Corneo in Wall Market. There is a potion / ether / tent item on top of one of the trains. I assume this is a one time item, unless it was programmed as I found it. I acquired about 30 Ethers, 20 Tents, & maxed out my Potions. It never stopped spamming items, I just got tired of button mashing. I guess this one is better left unfixed!  :?

#3 in Shinra HQ. The room where Jenova was kept. After Seph takes her you check the black room with Holy- and a Midgar Zolom. I found a repeatable crash. Every time I had Steal+ equipped with ANY materia and then used that materia.... crash. I tried Ice and Fire.... crash. Then I purposely tried it with Analyse. Same thing... crash. After that I thought it might be the Steal+. I unequipped it & viola! No crash.

edit: I almost forgot. I always get a crash whenever game over happens, instead of 'new game / continue' screen.

Glitch 1) Oh boy, I must have forgotten to put a gamemoment variable there to disable the additonal Aerith. This is related to the Aerith follow script when you first visit wall market.

glitch 2) Wat. I mean seriously, what? Is there a variable missing or something? I haven't heard about this before but that's clearly not intentional.

glitch 3) Weird. I didn't actually change the Steal+ materia, only the name. I'll look at the function and compare it to the vanilla one. Do you have any other mods installed? Because this does sound a bit like a mod conflict.


I also get the crash when I get game over but I have literally no idea what causes it. I also get that in vanilla FF7 sadly, so I have absolutely no solution.
 
Hey

this mod keeps on crashing on me all the time and i do not know why

is there anyway to fix the non stop crashing issue

The first crashed started when i entered a random battle when i was climbing the tower

and it crashed again when i first entered the world map

and it crashed on the sephiorth flash back as well

and how much longer until this mod is 100% bug free

thanks and take care

I have not had anyone else report this so I have to assume this is on your end
Could be the mod not being installed correctly or your steam FF7 not being converted. I know my mod but I'm not good at debugging FF7 in general. Take this to the tech support please, because I have no idea what kind of problem you could have
 
Hello everyone I posted my problem here: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/10072/ here is perhaps more suited maybe some moderator will move it, however I have the bug / problem of hidden objects, if they I collect type 6, the save point tells me 2/10, then after a few battles 0/10, I riscaricato all the mods and has solved the problem of respawn inifito hidden object, look some advice / help. Thank you :)
 
I heard reports of this before but wasn't able to reproduce it so I'm not sure what causes it
Do you use the latest flevel (which you can find on my twitter) to play?
