Alright, new version that fixes music intro bugs and replaces F.H. concert instruments!

Only available for FFNx 1.8 (not released yet) for now.
Please try the canary build and send me feedbacks! https://github.com/julianxhokaxhiu/FFNx/releases/tag/canary

Very nice myst4re, in older (1.8.0/1.8.1) is stable, but fail import and cread new map, is not enable? (never run original file).

Sorry I'm not sure to understand your question

You have documentation of opcodes savemap access? its really run?

This is implemented in DLPB's DLLs, I don't provide any documentation about it.

thanks a lot for your help

I have a problem with your second link

1- I downloaded these two files

FFNx-FF8Music-v1.3
FFNx-Steam-v1.7.2.0

2- I copy the "psf folder" from the "FFNx-FF8Music-v1.3" archive to the root of my steam games folder like this



3- I edited the FFNx.cfg like this

Code: [Select]

#use_external_music = yes
external_music_path = psf
external_music_ext = minipsf
winamp_in_plugin = psf/in_psf.dll

# - Fullscreen mode will use your desktop resolution
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#window_size_x = 0
#window_size_y = 0

#[INTERNAL RESOLUTION SCALE]
# The scale is in multiples of 640x480
# The scale factor is used to render internally at a larger size then the display, this will then be downscaled to the games current resolution
# This is required to avoid visual glitches that may happen when the game is not rendered in a 4:3 aspect ratio
# Default = 4
# NOTE: Scaling starts always from 2. If you set a lower number, this will be automatically reset to 2.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#[ANTIALIASING]
# Enable antialiasing filtering, this is done in the last pass when downsampling from the current supersampled rendering ( based on internal_resolution_scale logic )
# Available choices are:
# - 0: Disabled ( Default )
# - 2: 2x
# - 4: 4x
# - 8: 8x

#[EXTERNAL WINAMP PLUGIN SUPPORT]
# These flags will allow you to make use of compatible in_* and out_* DLL plugins you were used to load on Winamp itself.
# Through these flags you can for example decide to use an input plugin to play something FFNx never though about ( like MINIPSF files )
# and output the sound data to your custom plugin which may add custom reverb and much more.

4- and I have copy the files from the archive "FFNx-Steam-v1.7.2.0" that I have modified in the same directory



and I have that



there is no sound modification in the game nor data extraction

You need to remove the # from the line "#use_external_music = yes"

FF8 Tools / Re: [PSX/PC] Field editor - Deling (0.10.1b)

« on: 2020-08-30 13:29:31 »

1- the Backround models of the and the Character combat models, are also in The same case

Yes

2- and also if you have any idea how it works with the music of this game = extraction and conversion

On the PC version, the game uses midis stored at Data/Music/dmusic directory. The Remaster version uses oggs stored in zzz archives.
To open and work with FF8 PC midis, you can use DirectMusic Producer https://www.ff8.fr/pub/Microsoft_DirectMusic_Producer.7z but the software is a little old.
On the PS version, the game uses special midis (I name it AKAO) stored everywhere it is needed, you need to emulate to PS1 sound chip to play it. Someone did it long time ago and converted known akaos to it own midi format: PSF. You can download them here: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19968.0

Please look at this documentation: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwikisquare.ffdream.com%2Fff7%2Ftechnique%2Ffield%2Fbg

After the keyword "PALETTE", you have several bytes that change the behavior of the first color of the related palette. That's strange I know, I know.

« on: 2020-08-08 15:26:40 »

Myst4re, you know my problems with makou, but I will try to continue my project with this new version.

I will inform you if I find errors.

Thanks

Another thing, did you forget my question about "load npc ID with variable"? (would allow loading more than 16 different npc)
I think this function could be great , I hope you will try in the future, if possible, the quality of all mods will increase.

No no I didn't forget, but I have lot of things to do, it is hard to track everything

FF7 Tools / Re: [PSX/PC] Field Editor - Makou Reactor (1.7.2)

« on: 2020-08-07 07:55:14 »

Hi again myst6re,

Is it possible to import scripts and texts independently?
I mean one option which imports only texts and windows positions, and another independent option to import engine scripts.
Right now those options are merged into one.



Would be nice to have this feature.

Regards!

The import feature currently reflect the field file format. So you can import a PC field file or a PS Dat file.
Import only texts and windows will be a little tricky, since windows are part of the script.

Hey, good news! I was able to find a tool to fix this problem:
https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1264/
For what it's worth, the source is included in the download and it's licensed under GPL. Not sure if that's something you would be able to incorporate or not.

As for my comment on simplicity, my intention was to compliment how intuitive you've managed a program that covers so many functions. It's really impressive!
Looking forward to the next release,

Hey thanks, I will look at it! Can I use it on the french retranslation project?
