You have lost alot of modifications because of using a clean flevel.lgp where Bootleg has installed mods in there are you using the latest Bootleg 0039? if you don't want to lose any mods while installing this If so try reinstalling with that again but on a fresh ff7 and disable your anti-virus, UAC as it will block the MO patching some stuff (i think...slowly forgetting how to mod O.o) and make sure in your 'ff7opengl.cfg' Set fancy_transparency = on disable the 9999break limit make sure that you have cleared Cache folder in the modpath, and try "Compress Textures = no" in ff7_opengl.cfg and make sure you set your resolution correctly to yours do not copy the one said in that link you provided 'Tifa's Bootleg' also read the 'FAQ' in the link dlpb provided you
 
All you need to do is make sure that a fresh 1.02 ff7.exe and flevel.lgp are placed in the game folder AND that backup-dlpb is deleted.  You do not need to clear cache (or shouldn't need to) because the installer does it.

The MO should be installed last.  Assuming bootleg is doing the job properly it won't matter, but if it isn't you are going to have to run Mo.exe after everything else is done.  Actually to be on safe side, disable UAC and disable antivirus software. 

A corrupted battle interface is only caused by a failure to patch ff7.exe properly.  Since no one else has reported this issue, it is likely something you are doing wrong.  The reason I am responding in short answers is, there is very little to say.  The installer does its job properly.  It takes into account nearly every issue.  The only thing left is that:

1.  You are not using fresh 1.02 English exe and fresh flevel.lgp BEFORE running bootleg.
2.  You have not deleted backup-dlpb folder before running MO.exe
3.  Bootleg is doing something wrong.
4. The installer is failing for some reason.  Possibly UAC, possibly some false positive to antivirus.   Possibly you do not have sufficient space on your installation drive. Possibly one of my programs is incompatible with your OS.  What OS do you have? 
5.  You do not have the game properly installed.


I would remove Mo.exe from bootleg and run it on its own at the end.  After you have installed everything else except the menu overhaul

You ask where you can get a clean 1.02 exe.  Google it and you;d find it.  Search here on this forum and you would find it.  It really is that simple.  Surely if you got it once you can get it twice?  http://ffsf.aaron-kelley.net/patch.html  The first one.  The readme includes all of the options and what they do.  The readme is on the license page of the installer.  Read it.  I have done my part, there is no way I am wasting any more time making a fancy 6 year old book holding people's hands through the installation.  Making the mod was hard enough.

Just want to hop in here one last time.

First, thanks for your reply DLPB. It was as definitely (finally) in-depth, and I'll refer to it should I require it in the future.
 
See, I actually just re-installed the game from scratch into a new folder. I copied the vanilla install to a backup folder as well, then ran the Bootleg mod over the new install folder. Everything appears to be back to how it was prior to the Junon Parade/Shinra Safe issue. Should I run into a similar issue in the future, I need only load the vanilla game up and load my save from there (theoretically, lol). I'll see how this goes for now. :)
 
Thanks again!
 
So does it all work now as it should?
Click to expand...
I didn't have a chance to test out the safe, but I made it to Cid's town and the numbers showed up right there during a flashback sequence, so... who knows, really lol...
 
On the other hand, for some reason, anytime I get into a random battle with Yuffie (as in, a party member, not when trying to recruit her, which seems to be when I see (via search) that most people have experienced issues with her), the game freezes (she actually is invisible!), so I can't use her, and I therefore can't do the Wutai sidequest... but I'll have to tackle that tomorrow by maybe using the vanilla version to get through that stuff.

Don't install Grimmy's AC Yuffie or AC Tifa models.
They are broken in Bootleg 0039.
 
hey guys,

great work you all are doing on these hardcore/texturing/overhauling projects. finally its fun again to play ff7 for the millionth time.

the reason im writing is a different one:
couldnt find any recent statements about this topic or any better place to put it, so here it is:

i used bootleg 040 and the 17gb mod torrent thats using the latest MO (june 4th 2012, or was it july)

my timer was cut in half aswell and it took me quite some time to figure out what it was, since i tried the fixing steps explained here several times.

in the end i realized that my game mode installation "mode switching - all mods" uses a seperate flevel.lgp for every mode you select from the bootloader and therefore a regular MO.exe installation wouldnt touch the files in the respective folders.
knowing what it was, i was finally able to fix it. just wanna let you know. maybe the bootleg installation can be fixed taking this into consideration, if its worth the affort.
one way or another, just wanted to let you know about this inconvenience to increase your support capabilities, hope you dont mind.

keep up the great work guys, you overshadowed the official 2012 remake BY FAR! would love to see gjoerulvs/facepalmer/MO-alikes on ff8 one day (-:
