There is no ETA on an updated Summoner or the FF7 x FF8 Limit Break scripts. I will probably finish the Summoner script next, after I finish a request to always draw 100 magic, unless someone can help me RE the UI or has some slick idea on how to add a Limit Gauge and select Limit Breaks from the Command list (like Quistis' Blue Magic).
I finally had time to finish the idea I mentioned in the OP. I have not tested this beyond Squall and Qusitis, but I am confident it will work as intended; however, if it does not, let me know so I can fix it.

The obstacle I am facing is an intuitive way to represent the Limit Gauge value (because there is not one) without extensive patches. I would like to figure this out before I begin.

There is no easy way to select which Limit Break/Final Blow to use from a menu. The game was programmed with space for one sub-command (Attack>Limit Break). The bytes immediately after are for Quistis' Blue Magic.

There are a few things I plan to change/improve with the summoner mod and I might take it further if it does not take too much time. Unfortunately, changing portions of the story is not one of them, so unless someone wants to put that effort in, whatever I come up with will have to suffice.
As for your 7 x 8 Limit Break idea, I can help make that a reality, though not until Tuesday-ish. Contact me through Personal Message to stay updated on development.

Sorry for the double-post, but I felt like this deserved its own reply and I did not want to create a thread for it.
I thought the idea you proposed of having a character as a dedicated summoner was very interesting. So interesting, in fact, that I implemented it, albeit roughly. Unfortunately, I am not far enough in my current save to find the variable that would allow me to add the restriction of summoning based on story progress, but perhaps it is for the best. I made Rinoa the summoner, for reasons I mentioned in my previous post, but that can be changed. You will see other character-related information, miss learning/Command abilities while Rinoa is not in the party, and miss plot elements (RIP Ifrit x Shiva).
Create an Auto Assembly script in Cheat Engine, paste the following code, and enable it.

Gameplay / Re: [FF8] What gameplay enhancements interest you?
« on: 2017-06-10 03:00:07 »
Having a "summoner" is an interesting idea for FF8, but I do not think it would work well with the plot or mechanics without significant modification. It could be done, roughly, with code patches, but it would not "feel good". The only character that makes sense (at least to myself) would be Rinoa, but not until after the party defeats Edea and her powers are passed on to Rinoa. That is a long time to not have access to your GF's. If you are really pressed to do something like this, it would be much easier to not junction anything until you have access to Rinoa after that point in the story. I would categorize this type of thing as a mod or, if taking the latter approach, a challenge run, but not a gameplay enhancement.
Again, I am not interested in discussing if changes make the game easier/harder in this thread. If you really want the game to be as hard as possible: run from every battle, do not junction, do not use magic, do not upgrade your weapons, do not use items, etc.; there are countless ways to challenge yourself in the vanilla game.
As for junctioning all GF's simultaneously to any character, I found the instructions I needed. Currently, you cannot unequip a GF once it has been junctioned while the patch is enabled, but I am working on that.

« on: 2017-06-07 15:53:25 »
I began playing FF8 again and have been making small adjustments to gameplay I feel are quality of life improvements. One could argue the vanilla game is too easy and certain proposed changes will make it easier, but that is not the focus of this thread. I want to take suggestions the community has and possibly implement them.
I'll begin with something I posted in another thread:
Save Anywhere:
I was also interested in allowing any GF to be junctioned simultaneously by all of the characters. I had partial success by writing the value (flag) that determines which GF(s) a character has junctioned. I will eventually determine which instruction(s) disable the GF once it has been junctioned and modify them accordingly. For now, you will have to live with this screenshot:

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Re: In-Battle Menu Refresh, and Limit Gauge address
« on: 2017-06-07 04:26:50 »First is to have a fraction of all damage you take persist to your max HP for that battle. Easily done with a Post-Attack Character AI script in WallMarket and works fine; only problem is that the max HP value does not update in the battle menu. It works - you cannot heal above the new max HP value - but the menu doesn't reflect that. Anybody know a way to deal with this issue in the PC version?

I am the author of the dll files. The reason something might not work is due to version discrepancies and because it was poorly coded. These were put together before the Steam release and I stopped playing FF8 shortly after to work on other projects. I no longer have the source files, but I can show you how they work.
I will modify the post with updated patches for Steam BuildID: 296320 as I rediscover them.
