FF8 Tools / Re: [REL] Tonberry v1.4 - External Texture Support for FF84

« on: 2014-07-09 00:14:04 »

Main post updated with v1.4. With this version I've tried to fix the problem some users are having that I believe occurs because their windows installation is not on drive C. I've added a line to the prefs.txt file where you can change your drive letter from C to D or whatever yours may be. Please let me know if this doesn't fix the problem!

Edit: to clarify the above, the error occurs if your WINDOWS installation isn't on C drive, not your FF8 installation, so please change the prefs file to match your windows install. Also users with 32 bit Windows may also have had problems that this should fix.

Just came back from vacation, downloaded the latest version and now FF8 is working fine with Tonberry after changing prefs. Thank you so much!

FF8 Tools / Re: [REL] Tonberry v1.3 - External Texture Support for FF8

I'm just recommending he try that because there may be some dependency in my dll's that expect C drive that I'm not aware of, or something in the source that Matt Fisher wrote.

I made sure to set my program files security to all access, and I run all programs as admin as well.

I tried moving my FF8 folder to Desktop, but it won't even run because steam can't find it.

Also my main drive is D: since my Windows 7 OS is on D: and C: is my backup drive. Would that make a difference?

Sorry its taking so much effort for you--have you tried a complete reinstall (backing up saves of course)? Also, can you post some specs on your machine, operating system, video card model, maybe a couple screenshots of your install and tonberry folders and dll's. Hopefully we can help you.

I did a complete reinstall yesterday with V1.3 but that didn't work unfortunately, I could try it again though I just reinstalled in RaW.

Specs:

Graphics: http://puu.sh/9VN0l.png

I'm pretty sure my specs are fine if I can run FF8 + Wildstar.

FF8 Folder:

Tonberry Folder: (Hash is up to date) (Textures folder is completely empty, no mods inside yet. Though I also tried putting in a few but still same problem.)

@Just2good

It's weird that your game doesn't even start. Try using the 4gb patch and see what happens. Try running the game after setting your status as Offline on steam. Try running the game after disabling Steam overlay and Cloud Synch. Try changing the video configurations on the launcher. Try sacrificing a black chicken on a cross road to the Oxalás. There's gotta be something you can change to make it work.

Tried everything you suggested, except sacrificing a chicken, because I'd rather cook one. I've spent at least 5 hours trying to figure out how to get this to work but no dice ;-;.

I downloaded V1.3 but I still get the same error when I launch the game.

Error: http://puu.sh/9UNh8.jpg

I get the error and then game crashes. Have latest version of VCRedist, have a legit steam version, completely clean copy of Tonberry.

I also tried removing the .dlls one by one and removing d3d9.dll makes the game work again, though I'm sure I'll need that in for the custom textures.

Any advice?

FF8 Tools / Re: [REL] Tonberry v1.2 - External Texture Support for FF8

Ozmy, did you tried asking for help on stackoverflow or some other place? I'm pretty sure that at least someone will help, especially after you mention you project.

Hopefully fixing that will fix the problem I'm having ;-;. My game won't even start with Tonberry installed.

I do have a legit steam version of FF8 btw. Someone PMed me asking, but I don't have permission to PM apparently.

Can anyone help me with my problem? D:

I followed all directions to install Tonberry but it still won't work ;-;.

Having problems with Tonberry.

I installed tonberry in my folder, but when I hit play I get "An unknown exception has occured" as soon as I hit the play button.

I have no custom textures in the folder so this is a completely new install. Downloaded the v1.2 Hash and extracted it to the correct folder, but the game still gives me the same error. I tried putting in custom textures to see if that would work but no dice.

Tried removing all Tonberry files from the Steam FF8 folder and the game launches fine, so it must be something with Tonberry? I also have RaW installed but that works perfectly fine without Tonberry.
