Omzy released Tonberry, which allows for texture injection for the Steam port of FF8 which is a HUGE deal.
With it's release, it enabled the following mods:
- Project Eden by Omzy - Entire Field Background 4x Upscale
- SeeD Reborn by MCINDUS (and sl1982) - A GUI/Text/Icon and Magazine Replacement/Upscale that completed/continued sl1982's work from the original SeeD mod that's available for Aali's driver.
- Tripod by MCINDUS - Complete Triple Triad Overhaul
- HorizonPack by MCINDUS - Full World Texture and World Map Replacement/Upscale (Updated last night!)
- BerryMapper by Shunsq - Magochocobo's FF8 character textures can now be imported into FF8 through this thread, although the actual mod enables you to find the hash codes of textures so that you can replace them on your own. This is the thread to follow for finding out updates on FF8 texture modding progress.
- Hash codes and textures have been found for all Game Summons - they are just waiting for someone to fix them up. I'm working on a Shiva teaser, but I think I may only do Shiva, Ifrit, Quez, and Siren. All of these mods have been extremely time consuming as it is.
With all of that happening for FF8 - and 7th Heaven and Reuinion R02 for FF7, there's plenty to catch up on.
