VIII "Remastered" - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Better Variety for Random Battles... (scene.out)
Re-balancing of Enemy Attack Power... (kernel.bin) (many changes to status effects, Eden is 50% likely to cause Sleep)
Enemy/Boss Stats + AI Improvements... (enemy .dat files)
(Gradually doing more of these in no particular order)
Enemy/BOSS LVLs uncapped (BOSS IFRIT goes higher then lvl 6, etc) ... (enemy .dat files)
Damage Limit of 9999 removed (60,000 DMG is new cap)(kernel.bin)
(HP kept at 9999 as you can't see 5 digits in battle, only status screen... no 32,000 HP for now...)
Junctioning System Re-balanced... (kernel.bin)
(eg: New Magic to Junction + harder to absorb all elements too early on etc, greater need to make choices but also better variety)
(many more Elemental + Status Att+def Junction options)
Debug Rooms Shortcut via Balamb Garden's Training Center...
V8 = many major bugs Fixed (some minor still WIP) Hoping the end of Disc 1 and Disc 2 are all good now...
V9, same link as before... Imp revamp + Many Fixes... also try out Carbuncle ;)
V10 : MAJOR CITY/FIELDs BUG GONE, Ultimecia's Speech Retranslation (Disc 4)
V11, Hundreds of Battles Edited (need testing) + many fixes as usual... also now includes some bonus files like the Splashscreen skip etc...
V12 - Changes to starting equipment + GFs Revamped (needs New Game to take effect)...
V13, V14 ,v15 many Bugs fixed, changes to starting equipment + battles...
V25 (yes already, many changes since mostly additions to battles / ai / fixes)
V26 - 28 more fixes + trying out some Draw Point changes along with more GFs available early then ever before... (thought all GFs are LVL1 when you get them)
V29 - V34 ... Gayla etc should be working again along with many boss tweaks and also tweaks to Starting equipment + GF Abilities...

Hi, can you tell how to put only a mod on dmg over 9999 and HP over 9999?
-
right, many attacks in my mod should already include that... as with any new mod though testing is needed... also joining the qhimm discord can help with allot of extra info for anyone reading this...
also the best/easiest way to share screenshots etc for bug reports when those do eventually come up...
https://discord.gg/szMMs4D (https://discord.gg/szMMs4D)
if however you just wanted to mod a few things... learning to use the tools "Deling" (to replace the file inside the main.fs) & "Doomtrain" (to edit it) would already allow you to make massive game changes to the kernel.bin...
-
Thanks, I'll try.
-
just a quick question. How do you change the character HP beyond 9999?
-
Disc 1 - 4 are being tested gradually (ps more Testers Welcome) Bug Reports Via Discord Plz...
HUGE update to this should be uploaded by the time you read this... same link as before...
ended up going for even more changes in one go, should be worth the wait...
this time the main.zzz is small but will need to be merged using "zzzDeArchive"
-
Many Changes from v2 to v4... (yes V3 was Discord only Clusterf*ck of files)
NEED MORE GAMEPLAY TESTERS / ENEMY + BOSS TESTERS to JOIN THE DISCORD to speed up progress + you can contribute more ideas you'd like to see tested out...
small example of some new changes : Train Mission should be a bunch more interesting now...
V4 Requires http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19262.0 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19262.0)

i've shared the instructions on the qhimm discord actually recently in detail... and will soon be updating some of my mods + there are a few FMV PACKS coming soon... (inclusive of mine)
can search for posts by KLITLIKA

v5 has been shared since btw... but on PC the debug room FMV viewing for eg will still only do disc 1... yet i doubt the psx version's has that issue...

V6 now available from the 1st post...
Enjoy...

-

if you are worried, perhaps hold off for now...
i'm having another go at frequent updates trying to get this much more stable... then i can include some re-translation work also (starting at end-game)

Thanks, I appreciate the help finding bugs... and entertainment watching your streams of it... 8-)

v10 - Major Fixes to Fields / Cities (broke in v9)
-
v11 now up, first post for link...
-
keep up the great work on this mod
i can't wait to try it out soon
-
V12 is up... Requires a New Game afaik for the GF Abilities to take proper effect though...
also changes to starting equipment...
-
Hey, I was wondering if you're planning to add retranslations to some of the dialogue (Like the infamous "...whatever" mistranslations) or if it was just for the ultimecia speech. Been looking all over the place for a re-translation mod. Also, does this mod need a mod tool for installation or is it simply replacing some files in the VIII game folder?
-
...ROOK, yeah keen as to do more with that... also could perhaps offer it separately from the rest of the mod with only a few bonus side effects... areas where I've adjusted encounter rate that sort of thing... basically the script mods/tweaks are done to the Field.fs file using Deling field Editor...
PS: just found out about the new bug, this one seems like quite a game changer... if anyone is KO-ed you get a GAME OVER!!!
-
V25 now up, many changes compared to v15... been updating almost daily ;)
-
DISCORD LINK for BUG REPORTS, ideally with screenshots and a description on the issue...
if it's a fight that softlocks, it may be an issue with a specific move used by the enemy...
can help to take note of the last enemy move before / during the softlock...
https://discord.gg/jCGpudT (https://discord.gg/jCGpudT)
V34 is up... Enjoy!
-
Hey, this edits the gameplay right?
Can you add in some side quests or cult scenes between Squall and Quistis?? XD
-
Heya, new Login since i gave up trying to regain access to my old one for now... it is I, the Creator... QNSK/Klitlika...
Been itching to fix the remaining bugs like the broken Rinoa Limit Break's/Angelo (Hard Crash) ...
(f*cked the kernel.bin at some point, hard to revert now)
Scripted Malboro Fight problem... (gotta replace its .dat file and go from there)
2-3 Disc 4 bosses with issues... (eg: gotta move Catoblepas back to disc 4 from disc 3 and hope that fixes the issue created by that idea)
so i will try to get things setup again, been ages since i played and then will try to start fixing up v51+ again...
also curious if any of the testers were still around...
-
Here is a link to V55 - NEW Update - (Link only valid for <30 days...)
https://easyupload.io/x8p9aw (https://easyupload.io/x8p9aw)
the one BIG FIX compared to v52-v54 is basically Rinoa / Angelo finally DOES NOT HARD CRASH THE GAME! yay!
this turned out to be easier to fix then expected, it seems when I put too many hours into this, my attention to detail dropped and mistakes were made.
Enjoy finally grabbing this while you can! hopefully i will continue, motivated by my most hated bug being fixed finally...
-
Great Job on getting this new release out so quickly, how much more longer until the rest of the stuff is fixed on this mod and keep up the great work on it

THANKS :) well, I've lost my saves but that matters little for battle (scene) tests... so mostly I'll try to get the list of 800+ battles again, last time i had to save it using time machine on the old qhimm, and it seems I've lost all of my notes etc... so likely will try to limit myself to trying out some of the specifics like Malboro testing asap, perhaps redoing the .dat file for that one... I hoped to continue doing Enemy AI Script mods mostly... that was the main remaining time-sink, the Rinoa/Angelo bug was triggering some ADHD rage for a while there, so knowing it's finally gone and i somehow previously was just not noticing the "number of hits" being accidentally set to Zero for 1 of Angelo's moves... which this time I spotted easily... I'm 34 and only officially got the ADHD diag last year... so still enjoying feeling more capable of anything, realising my past mistakes etc... motivated by your reply, I'll start it up now and see how i go... also having the ability to watch YouTube / twitch etc footage of players testing out the mod was very informative / motivating in the past... perhaps you stream?

TIP FOR THOSE TRYING THIS OUT...
Once the GF get to LVL 10, they can start learning more abilities...
eg: Shiva LVL 10 unlocks Boost (only 4 AP) -> which unlocks Mug (60 AP) ... etc
some are fairly linear now from that point onwards so the auto-learn should work well but be sure to notice and set it to learn boost etc at lvl 10 when they hit it...
makes sense to perhaps also think moreso about not overloading a character with too many GFs...
"AP is never split. All GFs junctioned to active party members get a full share.
XP is split amongst all GFs junctioned to a given character"
Shiva lvl 1 as an example already has...
HP-J (which is currently All-J basically, opening it all up for whoever has her)
"Cast Magic"
"Summon GF"
"Draw Magic"
"Use Item"
"Doom"
"Defend+" (Defend got a big upgrade in this mod, try it out)
"Darkside!" 3x DMG Attack (Physical), some HP lost!
"Absorb" (also Buffed)
"Counter" (yep, basically already having Counter on 1 character should keep the DMg happening even if they are the only one left trying to stay alive, a little help towards the tough journey ahead...)
Quezacotl lvl 1 is similar (ALL-J + DEFEND +)
but also gives you REVIVE Call Shop/Junk Shop/Familiar & ABILITY x4:)
I've tried to make them all worth leveling up, keen for feedback on those once they are seen :)

How is the fixing coming along so far on this mod, because i would like to try out the new version soon with all of the fixes on it, and keep up the great work on your mod

well the Malboro issue turned out to be Visual only in my testing... so if you're not fussed about that, gameplay bugs were gone AFAIK, nothing to crash the game hopefully...
(zell's specials used to sometimes have issue in the past, afaik those were sorted out a while back, but any Zell nutters can let me know if anything was missed...)
Update: moments later one more thing came to mind...
well there is one optional boss to avoid in disc 4... Catoblepas...
afaik it might work with a vanilla save, but on my mod you get you fight him during disc 3 (as Laguna?)
so trying to fight him a second (disc 4 - optional) seemed to crash the game last time i tried... so technically you can't 100% unlock all yours skills/abilities i suppose... until that one is looked at... i'm hesitant to revert what i had done, compared to trying to go further and bypass/fix the new issue i created...
-
how the fixing coming so far on this mod
did fix up any of the bugs yet on this mod
because i would like to try out the newer versions of this ff8 mod again 1 day
