This is supposed to be an alternative to the Tripod mod.
The goal is to make an as accurate as possible HD remake of every Triple Triad texture/card, to the original game.
I could use some help getting the pictures for cards cut out into transparent pngs.
Any help is appreciated.
As this mod is in it's very early steps, all I have done so far is the game table

How to install:
Download an zzz extractor and packer such as zzzDeArchive:

Use it to extract your main.zzz somewhere convenient (Protip: Make a copy of any .zzz files you modify, in case something goes wrong.)
Download the above zip file and copy it's contents to where you extracted main.zzz, overwriting any files as necessary.
Use your zzz extractor/packer to pack the main.zzz folder back up (in case of zzzDeArchive, be sure to rename the created zzz file "out.zzz" back to main.zzz)
Then copy the modded main.zzz back into your "FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered" directory, again overwriting as needed.

Looking nice! ^_^ Keep up the good work.

Got a little distracted trying to recreate the proper font

Still figuring out what to do with the bottom corner, suggestions appreciated.

hi , do you think that the remastered version of this game would finally allow to inject the modded textures and so replacing the default ones? it would be a great step foward compared to how we usually load the modded textures, also do you know the name of the file that contain the values of the cards ?
-
Unfortunately, crashes at the main.zzz from any idea
-
Keep up the good work!!!
I knew I coudn't be the only one hating the new card 3D pictures
-
Thank you CYRU5 :)

I've yet to have any crashes due to modifying the main.zzz, are you sure you've done everything properly?
I've probably repacked main.zzz 20 times now without any crashes.

Just gonna post this here. I made this thread over 3 years ago :O http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16969.msg241320#msg241320 (Realy happy with Diablo)
I had planed to do them all but due to some personal stuff I had to stop. But I'm happy to continue making them new pictures if we get a card mod working.
Also made bomb and had it up on redbubble. https://www.redbubble.com/people/ironmad/works/24740433-final-fantasy-viii-bomb-monster?p=t-shirt (at work atm, I'll edit out the link to redbubble once I have uploaded bomb.
Also, new frames are needed.

That would be awesome, I just need to make the last two frames.
I am in the process of cutting out the character pictures, while also considering doing an alternate art version of them later down the line.
-
Since the top tier cards use art over the 3d models, have you thought about using art to the rest of deck? Plenty of concept art to use and perhaps asking artists for permission to use their arts to cover other ones not done by concept.
Just wanted to throw my thoughts into this.
-
it would be nice if the posts don't die after some little chats, i am sure that the objective of this project isn't fully reached yet, right ?

hello!
Im new here.
Im quite excited when i heard the news of FF8 remaster but pretty bummed out by the lazy amount of work put into it by the dev.
So heres my rendition of the triple triad card for character card frame which i hope it stays true with the original work and art direction of TT.
-
I really like the look of this. :o
-
I was also working on triple triad textures, but the quality of work here is above mine.
@Hikashi very high quality borders, that is what I would expect from a game with remaster in the title.

I would love to use your card border in my most recent Tripod: Remastered release as one of the border options - would that be ok? I wanted to release the mod tonight and have already integrated your card borders as a test in one of my packs. If not, just let me know, and I'll use the borders I have available to me for the Character cards.
Thanks! I love your work!

Sure!
Im currently working on the rest of the TT gui, hope you might be interested in for future update.

Definitely! Going to be working getting better images for the cards so maybe all of us should collaborate?

Done some of the assets.
-
Sweet-sauce! I love your revisions for the borders. ;D
Are you like a card maker or something? ;)
-
Awesome work, for both of you, you should team up guys
BTW, just as I recommended in other topic ... when trying to make cards look like the original one, one of the better ways to do it is by capturing directly from the 3D models by using a model viewer, BUT, why not giving those captures a 'cartoonish' look?. So they'll fit the original one apart from looking more like a real card game, just my opinion.
Looking REALLY forward for this mod to be released!!!
-
Looks like my thread was high-jacked haha
@Hikashi
That looks so damn good it puts my work to shame, only gripe I have is with the font.
But those borders are so beautiful, please never stop!
This stuff is moving fast and my motivation is varying, can't say when (or if) I'll get mine done, especially now that there's much better options..
-edit-
This is my progress thus far, nowhere near done though.

:-[ my bad for hijacking. It wasnt my intention to do so.
Just thought that my work doesnt warrant a new post.
I'll move it somewhere else after i made some substantial work.

Oh dude please don't take my message the wrong way, I was only kidding haha.

Why dont we work together on this? Im having trouble getting a higher res field monster model.
I can do the masking and touchup. ;D
-
Again, @hikashi & @casquall ... you guys should team up
-
the game crush on startup and give me the error message "unknown error" whatever i inject the mod with the merge option of the prompt program or if i manually inject each single .png file , the main.zzz archive become bigger and i don't know if that's the problem or if mecindus forgot to specify the final step to make sure that the game don't crash with the modded textures since he can actually use this mod in the remastered version

Hi :) You've done good work with the board ! Do you think it's possible to give me the psd or the ai file ?
Thanks :)

Posted this on the Tripod topic but think it'll be more useful here
I'll just copy paste ...
(...) is there a way of having the ORIGINAL PS1 CARDS to be upscaled and placed on this game, maybe you guys are already doing this but still, I can't stand the 3D models on the cards ... dunno why ...
(https://www.sdpnoticias.com/files/content_image/uploads/2019/08/07/5d4ad77daeed6.jpeg) (https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K5eDq88gWAY/Vxox1qKGIOI/AAAAAAAATFo/f1zE1A2xIFsKyDKFROL574X6-7JLZNQNgCLcB/s1600/Triple-Triad.jpg)
Maybe the original ones can be found somewhere and get the background removed and upscaled (as the .zzz archives uses PNG images for cards) ...
Found this ... might be of help ...
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VIII_Triple_Triad_cards (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VIII_Triple_Triad_cards)
That's what I'm refering to, having this classic pictures updated/upscaled and with the shown borders/numbers/icons on the previous pages ... also, erasing it's background should not be so hard as it's "nearly" a plain color (no strange pictures to mess with the background remover tool)
Am I the only one willing for sth like this to exist? :P
-
Hi, as I've WRONGLY placed this in the wrong topic (Tripod instead of this and for the 2013 version and not the Remastered one) I'm sharing this too for your reference @casquall ...
Obviously I'm no pro with this as I don't know how to use upscaling and AI stuff; instead, I just used bigjpg.com (http://bigjpg.com) (4x, Low noise reduction) along with the card images I found here (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VIII_Triple_Triad_cards) and got this results ... took me 1 min for both cards

(https://i.ibb.co/M5M0QyW/AngeloU.png) (https://i.ibb.co/h9dz07Z/IfritU.png)
Not bad at all in my humble opinion ... with the proper knowledge on removing backgrounds and the boders/icons/numbers already present on this thread this could be a cool mod and NEARLY 100% faithful to the original PS1 cards :)

i've been working on replacing the cards with the new remastered models in a similar position and pose to the original cards, i'm about half way done with it, although i think i need to redo all of them because i didn't realise the textures are stretched when in game
anyways, what do you think?

I LOVE these. Great work for the Remaster.

Hey guys, not sure how active this board is, but I saw Hikashi's assets from a google search after trying to make a quick magic set editor template for triple triad cards for my FFD20 campaign. I wanted to PM hikashi and let them know I don't plan on distributing anything, but that I wanted to share the template. I know this doesn't necessarily pertain to the topic at hand, but if anyone wanted to churn out some cards in MSE I have the templates for it!
