[FF8PC-Steam] Project Eden - dramatically improved backgrounds (v1.0)

(1/29) > >>

Omzy:
Project Eden v1.0
A collection of 4x-resized background textures for FFVIII.
These are the result of my field resizing batch script which I will release once it has been tested more. As this is a beta release, many textures have bugs that you will notice in-game. Some of these bugs are from the photoshop script, and some of the bugs are from Tonberry's hashing. Over time, as players point out these bugs, both will be refined until we are at 100% completion. Note that there may still be some bugs in Tonberry that may affect your gaming experience, potential crashes or lag during summons have been noted.

Pardon a few of these screenshots which may be missing lighting or other little things--they should look normal in-game, for the most part.

Great! I posted my Tonberry release in the Tools section like an hour or 2 ago (before this thread) but it hasn't been approved by the forum moderator yet. I'll need lots of help with that project before this project.

Omzy:
Main post updated with release. Keep in mind this is a beta release, so expect to see bugs, especially since I'm releasing this and Tonberry at the same time. If you find fields that don't look right, please document them. Try to find the name of the field file by using PuPu or Deling. If there is a texture that has parts that look like the old version and not resized, that is a hashing error (Tonberry)--document it as such. If, however, there is a problem with the way the layers overlap, that is a Project Eden script error, document it as such. Let me know if you guys have problems with the download, I'll try to get a torrent going soon. Happy testing  :-D
