Releases / Re: [FF8PC-Steam] Project Eden - dramatically improved backgrounds (v1.0)

« on: 2014-09-12 01:43:55 »

I'm not tech-savy enough to do screenshots but on that one stage of the fire level (the one where you can draw in a magic spell) at the the top left you'll notice an error in the lava.

Project Eden looks great overall but I'm still curious to see when the updated version will come out.

Mr. Omzy, any news on that front and anything the fans can do to help?

I'm still confused....

1. I know that Quetz. and the school computer sound different from the PS1.

2. "I think the SFX is FF8-PC are fine, the issue is that they are missing chorus and reverb from the PS1."

Could you put this into less technical terms?  Please explain this to me like I'm a 5-year old with Down Syndrome.


Also...

"I always thought the PC sounds were really grainy. Like they couldn't be bothered to filter noise out of them after a conversion from 22kHz to 44kHz (that's just what it sounds like, not what was actually done)."

Can I get more on this?  I'm not certain how to compare the 2 different SFX, but when you do compare the PC (or Steam) to PS1 are we certain that there is any difference at all between the two aside from the 2 sound effects discussed earlier?

What about the SFX for Squall's school computer?  I've read that those are different from the PS1 version.

Just wanted to draw this topic to your attention to this.  If you finish with FF7, FF8 could always use better sound effects as well!

Hey guys.  Just wanted to point out to everyone here I've created a "Headquarters topic" for all those interested in improving FF8's SFX.

Hey Mr. Shard and co.  I'm not entirely certain if the board permits private messaging but, in any case, just wanted to submit this to your attention.  If you or anyone else is interested in doing improvements to FF8's SFX then please feel free to come by this topic, thanks!

Thanks!  Again, if any of you see anyone talk about wanting to change the SFX (or you know how to get in touch with any of the guys who did the audio mods for FF8) please, PLEASE show them this topic and ask them to post here!  We got perfect and improved-upon music for this game, now all we need is improved-upon SFX!

(Thankfully it sounds like the SFX are at least about as good as on the PS1, though I'm no expert in that area to judge)

Ah, some the SFX are the same as the PS1?  At least they didn't degrade between versions.

As for starting a mod with others- alas, I'm not really a modder or anything myself, no technical skills there.  I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I do know that some SFX are different- notably Squall's school computer turning on/off as well as Quetzacoatl's opening SFX.

However, if you ever encounter anyone who expresses interest in making such a mod, please direct them to post in this topic.  If enough of them post together in the same topic they may form a group and get something started.

Now, I understand that FF8's Steam versionmod has music that.... kinda sound like steaming crap.

A lot of mods exist SOLELY to correct that!  Even the FMVs are bad too!  It's like they hired an intern to port this thing!

Now, what I'd like to know is... how good (or bad) is the quality for the sound effects in this game?  Does the Steam FF8 have the same sound effects as the PS1, or are they of inferior quality?

If they are inferior-quality sound effects, would it be very difficult to mod in the better sound effects?  Doesn't sound like it'd be a big deal.

I want the game to be perfect so, I really gotta know how the sound effects are just to be certain.
