Pls add Scale UI Battle :D
As stated earlier in this thread, the mod for that is not bug free and we probably won't add it to this version.

Absolutely incredible work!! Thank you so much for revitalizing my favorite game of all time. I have been holding out my next playthrough (it's been over 5 years) in anticipation of this mod :).

My one question is, will 8.0 be compatibile with Alternate Fantasy? I know that is NOT your mod and the beta lists that it is not supported, but I figured I would ask.

Tirlititi has retired from modding FFIX, but when this update officially hits, I'll talk to him and I'm sure we can arrange a compatible version! It's just a question of combining assets.

Hello!
I just installed FF9 and the 8.0 mod for the first time.

I notice two things :
- The game is not in 16/9.
- The font is Steam's version and not the PSX-like font.

Being very bad at file "hacking", I don't know how to change that, or even if it's possible.
If someone can give me some information, I'd be happy to.

Thank you all, and congratulations for your work !

Those are some impressive comparisons.

That said, I noticed:

. https://imgsli.com/MTU1MDk
At the castles at the back on the bottom of the screen, the cutout transparency is a bit off and there are some "ghosts" left. Adding to that, as a suggestion, it looks like those castles are supposed to be blurred, like a camera effect;

. https://imgsli.com/MTU1MTA
Just a suggestion again, those castles on the left side could use some touch by hand to blend more with the background. Maybe a little color change/or remove the whiteness/or a bit of blur;

. https://imgsli.com/MTU0MzM
The lamp post on the left became too thin, and that lamp has the bottom part removed; The background city could use some camera blur (looks like they were aiming for that look); The original font looks like has some transparency;

. https://imgsli.com/MTU0NDI
The color on the railing/gate is much darker than the original, but maybe is for the better. Still, it could be a bit brightened;

. Some or most of the screens are a bit misplaced if comparing to the original. Like they are slightly moved, so some npcs are not where they should be, some sitting in chairs that are a bit off/etc - but it might only be noticeable if comparing side by side.

. As was already mentioned, sometimes the clouds are better using waifu, but sometimes are better with AI (maybe use a mix?).

No need to follow everything I said, it's just me nitpicking it's already awesome as it is.

By the way, the font available there by Teaito is way more faithful to the PSX font than what is (or at least was until recently) proposed by the Moguri mod.

Thank you so much for putting so many hours of work into this, it really shows!

Thank you for your response.
One question though: Where is the file memoria.ini ?

To install the font it is specified that: Replace "Arial" with "Alexandria" in the memoria.ini file.

But I can't find this file :(

Apart from the re-orchestrated soundtrack (which I'm personally not a fan of), nothing. Snouz's mod as it currently exists replaces everything that Moguri does (HD backgrounds, but even better) and more (UI stuff, world map textures, HD NPCs and monsters, etc).

Per the first page:

Quote
    Fixed : almost all visual glitches
    Redrawing of all layer edges (all 11000+)
    Cleaner / sharper graphics
    Better & cleaner lighting (all 1400+)
    Background animations better integrated
    Recreated all places names with original fonts
    Manually redrawn some parts (some partially based on portfolio images by Wesley Cann & Behrooz Roozbeh)
    Seamless scrolling skies & backgrounds, removed 'staircase' edges
    HD worldmap (manually redone, seamless and faithful)
    HD NPC / monsters / background objects
    HD battlefields with redrawn edges and seamless skies
    Recreated maps, start menu, game over, portrait edges

I think if we don't install 7.0.1 we don't have access to 16:9 or the right font. On my side, I didn't install 7.0.1 and I don't have the memoria.ini file that allows me to make these modifications.

You can install this and Memoria separately, you'll have the same features, minus the orchestral music (which I think is not necessary at all)
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ff-modding/discussions/13/357284131804133221/

@Tirlititi, Great! I'll let a word to zePilot when we repackage everything.

@magitek, advices taken, I've some some tweaks to the ones you mentioned. The offset (2px top left offset to be precise) is present in the first third of the game, because the original moguri did that. But I've corrected the ones I had left about when I arrived at Clayra. I came back and corrected a few, but it'd be a pain to correct everything after I had already painted the borders, and it's really not noticeable most of the time.

I'll look into reshade or other ways to activate AA. I personally activate it in Nvidia settings, but it'd be cool if it's included!

Did you happen to look at the ReShade preset I mentioned in a PM? It's not overly complicated and does include SMAA/FXAA settings. Maybe it could serve as a basis or reference point for a preset bundled with the mod?

Also, if you'd like access to the footage of my current playthrough via YT, just tell me and I'll be happy to make that available. :)

So is it possible to get Moguri Beta V2 to run with alternate Fantasy?
I read through some pages here, but couldn't find a definite answer...

You're correct. I completely forgot about that.

I think it is best to just install Moguri + FFIX, and replace the files in the Moguri folder with Snouz's work so you get the font and 16:9 aspect ratio.

You can actually play with Alternate Fantasy, but you won't get the UI and Battle backgrounds from Snouz.

Snouz: how much is it still the original Moguri mod? I think it would be better if you renamed it. It is quite confusing now since the original Moguri is not so good as this and if you reworked everything. There is no need for it to be called Moguri.

In fact, the next update of Moguri's mod is the snouz update. This is why this topic is now renamed Moguri Mod update 8.0.

You can have a look here : https://sites.google.com/view/moguri-mod/download?authuser=0

To Snouz:
Will the jarring in this image be removed with your discovery of 8-bit transparency?
https://imgsli.com/MTU0NjM

Is the FFIX Complete Sound Fix included in your update? Here is the mod link: http://dl.free.fr/getfile.pl?file=/LQl8YcOZ

I read that it is included in current Moguri Mod, but do not know if it's the case with your update.

Keep up the good work, what you've done is awesome!

I propose the name "Mognet" after the delivery service in the game!

Guys, this is the next Moguri version, I won't do my separate mod. It would fraction the community and be counterproductive IMO.

Anyway, I'm very proud to say I figured out, with the help of Tirlititi himself, how to fix a bug introduced in the steam version. The rope and bucket animation in Gulug was broken as it only displayed BEHIND the base layer. By adding code, I managed to fix it!

@Glenn Seto

Sorry I haven't responded yet, thanks for the offer! I'll look into reshade and your stream. I'm focusing on the few bugs I still have right now to upload v3!
