Hi!
I'm a co-ordinator of FF8PL Project (translating to polish). If I understand, that you can't compile .msd files back into the game, right?
1. You must have Qhimm's program - Garden.
2. You must decompile game files with this program (this takes some minutes
).
3. After decompile, you have a .GPR file and folder [ff8].
4. Pre-ready pack for Moomba has folder structure like [ff8] folder from Garden, but in this pack you have only .MSD files (dialogues). You can switch all .MSD files from Moomba to this [ff8] from Garden.
5. Look on your .GPR file. If it has 1209 KB, it's bad. Proper .GPR file must have 1
409 KB. I have this file
:
Here it is properly .GPR file and FF8AC program by M4v3R.
Bad GPR file (1209 KB) you have to replace by good GPR file from this link above (1409 KB).
6. Create a backup of [Data] folder in FF8 game folder.
6. In Garden, open proper GPR file, click [Compile], and select
only field files (in 'Main Data Files"). In 'Field Data Archives' don't move anything.
7. And you can play
8. If game crashes, check [field.fs] file in [Data] folder. If If it has 0 KB, you have to copy original file from backup and try again. This point happens very rarely, but occasionally happens
.
PS. FF8AC program can compile to the game files from menu, world, battle, etc.
PS2. This surely works. You have some screens [34, 35 and 36 are newest from field]
here.
