-ver0.1: For the moment it works with my FF8_FR.exe. I request the help of people here on qhimm to test the code on different versions of the game. Please give me feedback so that i can improve the patch.
-ver0.2 : FF8_EN, FF8_IT , FF8_ES,FF8_DE version released. FF8_FR updated to ver0.2.
-2018-23-10 :additionnal config tool. If you want to remap the icons to your controller buttons i created an additional tool.
Hello everyone,
After months of research i managed to modify the code so that the game shows PSX buttons instead of the ugly B1,B2,B3.
For the moment it is just a table in cheat engine but i want to build a dll that you put in the FF8 folder. Maybe i'll use one of dlpb tool.
Basically it waits for the commands to show "B1", "B2",etc... then instead of printing B1 it prints the icon. I replace the "print text" function by the "print icon" function.

Thank you for you help dlpb.
Finally i decided to write the code in a static code cave.
For french "FF8_FR.exe" it is located at 0x4002E8. This area might not be a code cave for other versions of FF8 ( FF8_EN, etc...).
Please find the hext file to use with hextlaunch in the first post.

It doesn't work like that YagamiLight. But no problem, i saw that i could install multiple langage for FF8 for free. In fact you searched for the value"512" in the memory of the game.
I am adapting the code to FF8_EN right now. I will publish the EN version today i think
ver0.2 released, see first post. I released FF8_EN version. It only works with HextLaunch.
ver 0.2 with Italian version released.See first post.
Mcindus, I'm relieved it works good with any FF8_EN version ;D ;D! I think i will release all versions tomorrow.
I'm also working on another patch to be able to use L2/R2 and Dpad on the controller; with the matching icons of course ;D.
I don't get it, we have to download separate Xbox buttons but no PSX buttons? Do we have to use your buttons from the other thread, Mcindus?
Hey mate, thanks a lot for this!
BTW, is there a way to switch the Circle button with the Triangle? In the EN version (at least in mine), Triangle cancels and Circle opens the Menu, but I prefer the traditional FF buttons layout.
Thanks in advance!
Very nice Mcindus!
I'll modify the first post once i understand how works RaW. I'll also cross link to your seedreborn topic.
Hey silver, I want this question answered too. If there's a way to move them around with some hexedit alterations, that would be ideal. otherwise, there's a way to make it happen and still use the vanilla textures of the game but use tonberry to inject a different button orderWell, I'm basically open to ANYTHING except modding the whole game as I said previously. I just want to make it show the icons of the buttons... Is it that hard? Fml
let me know if you need this 'last resort'
Also, shunsq is awesome and uber busy. Give him some time :) He's our slothy genius.
Judging by how shoddy the Steam port version of VIII is in it's current state? Yes :-DAt this point it's even sad. I'm almost thinking about buying from ebay or amazon a copy for my old PSX.
Hey Shunsq, is there any way of changing only the icons? Here's my case so you understand me...I have the same problem but in a different order :(Spoiler: show
In my case the button layout I have right now is from top to bottom: X, O, [], /\, L1, R1, L2 and R2. Yet the icons are wrong.
I know you can get other mods or whatever to change them, but I like and want to use yours since I don't want the SeeD Reborn and Tonberry mods (I wanna play the game as it is, no graphics revamp and stuff).
Is there any possibility to change the icons order?
Bonsoir everyone,
For some controllers the icons don't match the actual buttons on the controller, even if you change the properties in steam.
So i updated the first post with a new tool to associate any icon to any button on your controller. See here : http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=18158.0 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=18158.0)
It is an additional hext instruction list that you put in the same folder as "FF8_Buttons_**.txt". You must not change the name of the file.
I'm trying to get the buttons to show for me but the only thing show is the FF8 cursor in every slot. Any idea what's up?
What about Button mod for pc-2000? (1.2/1.2nv)
for me it is too difficult, so I hope that someone will do for her
You can use the existing SeeD mod for 2000 and then replace the GREEN font text pages (sysfld00 and sysfld01 green palettes) with the ones from my controller buttons mod. it uses the same textures as the 2000 SeeD mod, but you might have to rename something.I know, but there will be some problems with it, hd font in English, it is not for Russian.
I know, but there will be some problems with it, hd font in English, it is not for Russian.
The problem is not even that, but that if you do not use HD, it will be superfluous.
Not sure I understand completely, but are you saying that you only have low-res fonts to use with the Russian version? (The green text is barely ever used so it's not that bad if it's English)
Could you send me a link to the russian version so I can see what's in it to see if I can help? (I am the author of all SeeD mods and the other controller mod)
Hey Shunsq,
The link for RaW to DLPB seems to be broken, do you have any alternate links for me? thanks!
I've the problem with the white glove, and i know the problem is because i use an XInput controller (360 wired) with big picture using mappings who use keyboard key instead (for using the D-Pad in the menu, use the trigger buttons ecc)I am having the same issue, where all face buttons show up as a white glove. Tried a few ways to install with Mcindus's and this but nothing works too well via mapping the xbox controller via steam's layout.
...
there is any solution now? the better one will be using the keyboard keys on the controller with pig picture but this mod not work
