FF8 Tools / Re: [FF8PC-Steam] Translator Tool - MnGrpEditor (v1.6)
« on: 2015-02-25 18:56:14 »
v1.0.10 is old, v1.0.11 is the current version.
Get the original files here: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13715.msg223814#msg223814
The original v1.0.11 exe files (totally useless without the other game files) are untouched, not "fixed". Game (incl. new 1.0.11 EXE files + "fixed" 1.0.11 launcher) should start with the other old 1.0.10 files.
To "fix" the game, you only need to edit "FF8_Launcher.exe". To "fix" it, change F0F261 (@ 0140) to 66AB04 and 8B4614 (@0381E5) to EBCDCC.
But to actually start the game, you might need some "fixed" "steam_api.dll", that I can't provide. Old one from 1.0.10 will not work, don't try it. Don't replace any original 1.0.11 EXE files or anything like that. Just try some *.dll from other games you might have on your HDD. A working one (working with "fixed" 1.0.11 launcher) should have this MD5-checksum: b073c1ecbbb2dc8a7c6ccf9373365c10
Anyway, just port your nice tool to any language and provide a clean tool, so everyone can use it. You don't need to edit any language EXE, only the launcher + new DLL. Maybe you don't even need to start the game at all to update your tool?

Thanks for the info, was a bit confused with all those files, so just used them all or as given in descriptions, like from FatedCourage's package.
I used the "from ..." to show from who to get the file, if you doesn't want to use the Zippyshare upload.

« on: 2015-02-22 14:22:29 »Could you send me the debug information for those menu pages when/if you get a chance?
Thanks Mcindus! If you tell how to do that, it won't be a problem for me. But if we still talking about the "in-menu" cards, it happens with the English version (I think also with any other, haven't tried). I mean they don't have the nice frames around the images. Seems to be the vanilla ones only. But playing a card game is okay, so all frames are new/nice etc. =)
For anyone who has problems, this should be the *.csv files package you need for tonberry 1.6 (if I'm not wrong): http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/YjKm3zpD/file.html
But replace them as soon as Mcindus or FatedCourage update anything.

I can't find the new codes for the GF or do you mean the post where you have initially posted them? Thanks for your effort, I'm a bit confused how to even find them in any way or so.
BTW, the "Tripod_GR_hm.csv" should be named "Tripod_DE_hm.csv". DE should be the international abbreviation for German. Like "ES" is for Spanish (from Espaniol). DE comes from "Deutsch".
Oh and can it be, that Tripod doesn't effect the in-game menu cards? I mean by pressing Triangle (Y for Xbox) and go to "Cards"?

Tripod, SeeD Reborn etc. seem to work now with Tonberry Enhanced 1.6 and your new hashmaps! No more 2/3 backgounds or anything.
I put all of them into the "C:\Final Fantasy VIII\tonberry\hashmap" folder and the old "collisions.csv", "hash1map.csv", "hash2map.csv" and "objmap.csv" files from "Hashmap 1.3", but replaced the "objmap.csv" with the one needed for the Character models from FatedCourage: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15668.msg223218#msg223218 and your GF codes with the upscaled GF textures from rufoos: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15668.msg223269#msg223269
I pasted the GF hashcodes into the "objmap.csv", is that right? Because there are also the character codes.

Releases / Re: [FF8PC-Steam] Tripod - FF8 Triple Triad HQ (v1.1)
« on: 2015-02-14 14:09:38 »
First, thanks for your work and mod! But I have the same 1/3 problem... One part is HQ, the rest is vanilla. Using Tonberry 1.5 incl. Hashmap 1.3 and Tripod Triple Triad HQ 1.1.
Pictures:

I play in English, because in German Roses & Wine doesn't work at all. I played it in English years ago on PSX, it was released way before the German version and had more FPS.
I mean any other texture works, I use the following mods and they work so far:
SeeD Reborn - Menu Overhaul 3.2
Project Eden 1.0
Horizon Pack 2.1
Character Models (from FatedCourage incl. GF models from rufoos)
Final Fantasy VIII 1080p FMVs
Roses & Wine 0.3b Final
Controller Buttons Xbox360
The backgrounds has a couple of glitches here and there, but in all it's 98% perfect. The models include all main characters and 3 more plus all the GFs. The all seem to work, just not the Tripod Triple Triad HQ 1.1 background. So I would say, it's a Tripod Triple Triad HQ 1.1 problem and nothing else.

Solved Problems / Re: SOLVED: Mod save state?
« on: 2015-02-06 10:35:21 »
The old patch from Kranmer is still working (only changes 1 byte) on the recent 2013 Steam release. You just need to rename FF8_DE.exe, FF8_EN.exe, FF8_ES.exe, FF8_FR.exe and FF8_IT.exe to FF8.exe and patch one by one. Rename them back to the original filename after patching. In-game you can save anywhere, but at the beginning there seems to be the mentioned bug, that all grayed-out menu options become the save option. I will see later, if it's working 100%, after I got some ability etc.
