Hey guys, I've tried to look for an answer to this but have been unsuccesful. I have placed the contents of the SeeDReborn folder into the ff8 folder and merged the files. I have the hasmap in the hasmap folder and the textures in the texture folder, with all the other hashmap and textures for the other mods (that do work). For some reason, the text is just the same as the original game.It's just as if its not reading the textures even though I have moved them in...

Cheers, Ohme

[anti_ohme]

scratch that, I've figured it out. Me being dumb

[anti_ohme]

Ugh I thought I had it sussed but... the text isn't changing. Can't think why it isn't working / what is conflicting...

Can be seen here:

The Hi Res character model textures are working, I have followed the instructions to the T in the SeedReborn folder... I really cannot think why they would not be working, if the other textures are.

https://imgur.com/a/fwDqMSF - another example. This text box should be indigo... and the font is just vanilla.

i think it would be rather a cool idea if we transfer the GF portraits from the remaster here

Congrats on this mod, it really improves the old UI, thanks a lot. I have a question though. If I wanted to modify some of the icons, how can I do it ? I would like to replace the basic parameter icons for smthng more understandable , such as "HP" , "RES" , "SPD", "ACC" , "LUCK", etc (but in spanish xD). Which one of the "iconflmaster_xx" should I modify? (from 13 to 28). If only I knew, since I was able to modify the FF8 controller mod to match my crappy USB Ps4-like controller. The buttons were all mixed around but I managed to swap them all in the correct order, so I edited the file on the Paint 3D app, since normal Paint app leaves a white background on the icons and it looks pretty bad. I hope some1 can guide me on this 1, cuz i would like to do it myself.

Though, if any1 had this kind of file already made, it would be a huge help too.

Alright, so this version has the icons, but the previous 3.5 version has the text in spanish that you're talking about. In order to copy/paste them to the new mod, you simply go into /textures/ic/iconflmaster/ and /textures/ic/iconfl02 and /textures/ic/iconfl03 and look for the icons and the text from the previous 3.5 mod and swap them out.
You'll need to do so for all of the files in the folders wherever those textures are to make sure you don't miss anything. Some aren't 100% needed, but I'm not sure which - it's been a very long time.

Tried DLing the English version twice, both times I got the message "can not open .... as archive".

[denis_Flauber]

for God's sake, how can I make the menu the same as in the photo...I copy everything from the SeeDReborn v4.1 folder
I substitute, when I open the game the picture is not the same Lv is not in blue and Hp is not in Yellow.

gets mixed in mine with old icons

Excuse me, but can I get a link to download the older version of this mod, other than the dodgy adfly website? I'd prefer my menu to be vanilla style just upscaled and where I don't have to go on websites that is living malware. Thank you.

[jellybean8537]

I put all the folders where there supposed to be but nothing is changes. I used the lunatic pandora installer.

[Cert Serth]

Hmm, why isn't any of the font changing? No new status icons either. Everything else is fine.

Ay, so I have a question about the previous versions of SeeDReborn, more specifically the 3.2 version of it, as whenever I open the link to try and download it for the fonts it has it brings me to a virus website. So I'm wondering if you would be able update it to have an alternate way of downloading the version or maybe there could be alternate fonts added in the future in the main version?  Regardless if you do or don't answer this I also wanted to say that I really like this mod and the variety it has with the menus and hope you keep up the good work with more mods in the future ^^

It's not a "virus website" (although it is shitty and annoying). It's adfly. a service that shows an ad (to make money) when you click a link. The ad could be spam or malware or Coca-Cola, but you don't click on that. You wait a second and click the "skip ad" button once it pops up.

Ah I see, my bad then. It's a bit too late since I finished the game already but that's good to know I guess.

Sorry to dig up this old topic but I'm not necessarily a big fan of version 4.1 (don't hit me Mcindus! ), I prefer the old version which is much simpler and more succinct.

Unfortunately, this version is nowhere to be found and... I've managed, with someone's help, to track down the old versions (huge THANKS to Elysion) !
