Fire up Garden, and drag and drop files into it, basically.

ahem (i think you know what im going to say :D ),
well then isnt garden supposed to EDIT FF8 DATA FILES!!!!
So wouldnt DECOMPILE be a simple choice (and the most obvious!!  :x )
puff. I think im gonna have to right page about HOW TO USE GARDEN, EVEN IF QHIMM MADE IT ONE OF THE EASIEST APPS TO EVER USE!!! (if qhimm made it then its gonna be easy to use, cause it aint got no instructions!!)
 :x anymore half hearted qustions about garden will be dealt with the same stiff lipped responce from me  :D! only post serious questions about garden!!

The Skillster: Heh. I agree, but you're getting a bit too angry there feller.

Ficedula: Heh. Keyboard wore out?

ksfung: Heh. I'll let the Skillster handle that one. Oh, wait. Maybe he already did.   :wink:

ok, im cool now.
when you open your new project file (which you get after decompressing ff8), you will see the projects name in the list box to the left.
click it to open the folder and you should see a data or ff8 folder appear, now keep clicking ff8>data>field>eng> (i think) now you get a big list of folders, pick one  :D
they are all locations, eg bg (balamb garden) FH (fisherman horizon), now open that folder and youll see folders for all the locations in that area (aa, ab, ac ,etc) now open one, youll see a list of files in the box in the bottom left corner, find the one with a *.msd (dialog file) extention, d' click it to open it and viola!
you should see dialog on the right.
now after editing it, (if you wanna see your changes in ff8), save and recompile ff8 data files and fire up ff8

Also, remember Garden is far from complete and loaded with bugs.

SO..Garden is used only for editing message boxes?
Does it have any other uses like being able to view the background or field data or 3d models of Squall and co.?
If so...please tell me..Thanks!

CKtalon: Yes, only text. Perhaps some crazy programmer will someday finish it, which would mean that there would be other features that aren't yet implemented (such as viewing 3D models, backgrounds, etc).

Is there any way of just decompiling the text only? As I find that decompling takes up about 1gig of hard disk space!

theres no other way around it.
besides if you just extract the dialog files, how are you going to recompile the whole archive to use it with ff8?
unless qhimm comes up with a ficedula style updating feature...

Unless he changes his mind, Qhimm's done with Garden. Maybe someday, someone else will continue the project.

Maybe I shouldnt have released the debug version. Some people here, are experiencing high blood pressure because of it.
BTW, we shuld switch to another topic title. This one is misleading, "Garden by The SaiNt".

The SaiNt: Well, it's not really that bad. It's just a tad annoying when someone posts a question, you answer, then someone else posts exactly the same question several lines below or even makes another thread about it. Still, not a big deal.

Ah. The ever-so popular Ficedula and Qhimm. I admire Ficedula because (s)he actually updates their site. Qhimm's just sits there with the same old content. Me and my friends have been waiting a year and a half for it to be updated. And nothing has happened. Please take this into consideration Qhimm.

It is rather odd that you'd pick an old thread like this to begin posting in...

Fice:  I've always thought your nick was rather masculine-not that I dwell on those sorts of things.  Given that this forum is 97% male, I *usually* assume "non-gendered" nicks are male, unless otherwise stated.
