I N S T A L L _ G U I D E

IF YOU DON'T HAVE MOGURI INSTALLED
1) Extract and replace the files in the .zip to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\

IF YOU HAVE MOGURI INSTALLED (not required!)
1) If you installed it before 2020-04-2, uninstall and re-install Moguri again (SquareEnix pushed a Steam update that temporarily broke the game and Moguri)
2) Extract the content of StreamingAssets in \Program Files (x86)\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets\
3) Extract \x64\FF9_Data\resources.assets & \x64\FF9_Data\sharedassets2.assets to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\x64\FF9_Data\
   but DON'T replace Assembly-CSharp.dll

To check you have the right version, here's how the first frame should look

It's a development of an existing mod that only works on the steam version.

I need to discuss this with ZePilot, but this is a huge endeavor, so I guess it would be 8.0

Could you work for getting your mod fully compatible with gameplay mod (espacially alternate fantasy) because it's impossible to play with the full moguri mod + alternate actually :/

I'm working on softening the lights.
Here's a random before/after comparison
(https://i.imgur.com/00deEYf.jpg)

To achieve this result, I upscale with ESREGAN and zePilot's model, and soften with the "remove noise" (100%) filter in photoshop, applying "removing color noise 100%", I apply it twice, then blur a bit and apply a level filter to make black really black, without obscuring the light. Of course, all is automated with python and photoshop.

This is crazy good mate. I was playing FF9 with Moguri thinking "it can't get better than this, right?" and now you're making it better!! Now I've been holding out on continuing the game until you release this (even if partially done). I'm sure would be a huge upgrade.
Thanks for your work again, you rock!

Post by: snouz on 2019-10-08 21:27:41
Thanks for the encouragement!

I have a few goodness to show off, a lot of scenes made better thanks to comparisons with other esrgan models (especially "fatality"). The massive implementation of soft light is a big success as far I can see.

I've applied other models to all the screens, and mixed some of them with moguri images. I've partially mixed some (a bit more than 100) screens with other renders. Here's a small comparison (click to enlarge):

I have fixed all (>30) scrolling skies (as well as scrolling sand, smoke, etc) that were not correctly looped, like so:

I have actually re-upscaled them after looping them, so they now scroll seamlessly. So that's a big bug fixed.

For the last week, I've been working on improving the visual quality after I found a good workflow with a certain ESRGAN model called "BOX". I pass the images in a dithering removal model for ESRGAN, then upscale with BOX. It has more details, a bit more noise, but a lot of color noise, so I combined it with existing images one by one, taking the original color and adding the details at a certain percentage. It works especially well on cave/grungy/dark textures, like Fossil Roo, Gismar and Gould.

Comparison:

Before/After:
(https://i.imgur.com/r7hbnol.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/KVztnoS.jpg)

It adds a bit of contrast, removes that annoying pattern you can see currently with moguri:
(https://i.imgur.com/mcpnrU6.jpg)
Makes it a bit more organic. I used the new images with restrain, blending them with zePilot's renders (some of them I already heavily modified)

Also, I corrected a few frames like this one:

I've worked a bit to try and improve some FMVs (especially those 18 ones that blend with scenes or have 3d characters in them), and it's going well so far.
(https://i.imgur.com/qguP4AC.jpg)
I extracted the images from the videos with ffmpeg, divided resolution by 4 (to their original size: 320x240) using nearest interpolation, then passed in ESRGAN (first in anti-dithering, then using zePilot's model), and managed to re-inject a video in the game using the same codec/format. This will allow me to color correct some videos.

It's great! Can I also increase the frequency of FPS? It is a pity no one remakes FMV's for Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, they are there in very terrible quality.

Last thing he mentioned I think is that the last version is not open source. I've heard say people say it's still buggy. If someone does it well, I'd love it.

There are techniques for interpolation, but I have yet to make it work and still have to test if the game would even accept a double speed video (if it's tied or not to the framerate of the game).
So not a priority right now. First, I finish the initial project.

Can you fix it? This error continues with PS One. Black Waltz No. 3 uses "Fira", but the animation "Fire" is played.
It's not in my scope, and not really the subject of this thread (and pretty minor?)
It's also a Russian version in your video apparently? I have a US-UK-IT-ES-FR-GE-JA version.

It seems that in Memoria.ini you can set the video speed.

[Graphics]
Enabled=1
BattleFPS=15
MovieFPS=15

Hi, I would like all of this to be part of Moguri. It's an evolution of Moguri.

Little update: I reached the open world part with the boat, so I will now work on all those bonus scenes, and maybe correct a few textures on the world map, and probably try to improve on the grass texture. But since I'm playing the game legit in parallel, Chocobo quest's got me for a while.
Anyway, I'm 75% done on the masks work.

I've downloaded your world map retexture and went around during different moments in game, I couldn't find anything wrong for the first 3 CDs, the only two little things were one waterfall hole in Daguerrero entrance in low res (CD4 only) and the black mages village wood still in low res (CD4 only) also the 4 sand whirls where you enter desert palace have decentered sand animation (Only before Kuja Palace plot CD3).

P.S.: I dunno if I should have posted this here or in your other thread and if you already fixed them or they can't be fixed but still I love your work keep it on  ;D

Thanks for the report, yes I still need to fix some things, like rocky beaches animations, and I only now see those as I just arrived at the 3rd disk in my parallel playthrough, just got the boat and the blue chocobo.

I was looking at video interpolation stuff
and besides sepconv (https://github.com/sniklaus/sepconv-slomo) there is DAIN (https://github.com/baowenbo/DAIN).

What looks better all depends on the video content I suppose. But there are some video comparisons on youtube 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f8f0igQi5I), 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9WySthMEi4), 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7IVm9FtFtQ).

I realize this step could be far off.
If I can figure out how to test these scripts I'll make a comparison video using ffix footage (pretty unlikely however).

The Moguri mod maker appears to have dabbled in this sort of thing before: youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cizjnLhkQg8)

Ah yeah sorry, had a lot to do recently, but still working steadily!
Thanks everyone for the support : )
Recently I worked a bit on the lights, like the stairs in the Desert Palace and the holograms in Oeilvert, and I found the best upscaler possible for these IMO: waifu2x
I fixed a bunch of bugs, I re-upscaled a lot of images to fit better. I understood how some transparencies work, so I'm not doing nothing : )
Quick example, here's a quick particle re-interpretation I had to do to fix that bug: https://imgsli.com/MTE3MTg (https://imgsli.com/MTE3MTg). Tell me what you think!
Also, I became a mod of FF9's subreddit (https://en.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyIX/)

An example of what the hologram look like when polished:

Yes, but I think that can be released afterwards, I need to focus on the important stuff first. Also, the programs and techniques continue to evolve for videos, so I'll do that last.

Have been following this project for a while but decided to create an account just to say how absolutely outstanding this is. I'm holding off on my first Steam playthrough of IX until this is released. Really, absolutely phenomenal work so far !

As an aside, is there any work being done to change the battle UI in this reworked version of Moguri mod? The current UI is horrible and I don't know of any mods for it that are compatible with Moguri

Hi all! I haven't been responding much, I was focused on working, but I'm in the endgame now, so here we are!

Hi Snouz, did you fix this crazy candlestick?
Yes! in fact, all problems with battle backgrounds I think. There were crazy candles, floating beaches etc. It was a problem with animated textures in battle. I had to downscale them.

There's still a few things to go through: text, testing, a few corrections here and there, but yes I'm pretty close. I'm open if someone wants to beta test already though.

will the background be in 4k ?
If we take an example of a screen that doesn't move (no scrolling), it's 1280x896. So ~896p? It's still twice the steam version and 4x the PSX one.

Anyway, I'll release some screenshot comparisons soon. Thanks for your support, stay safe, stay inside and take care!

My understanding is that Ze Pilot intended to include a reworked battle UI in a future update of Moguri, and though this is intended to be the next update of the mod I'm not sure whether the UI is being updated as well since there hasn't been any mention of it.

No other UI mod appears to be compatible with Moguri for now, unfortunately.

I have been lurking here for a while now and would definitely love to beta test this new vastly improved moguri Mod!

To be more specific, my wife would beta test as she recently turned into a BIG final fantasy fan and wants to play the "older/classic" games of the series, starting with FF IX.

Let me know what I have to do to possibly convince you to let me beta test for you ! :)

Original PS1 backgrounds are used and upscaled via AI, and replace the PC backgrounds.

PS1 backgrounds are used because PC backgrounds lose too much details.

The PC version only used the original BG, badly filtered. So it makes sense to use the original instead. Plus, there's an AI model that removes dithering. So yeah, the original is used.

My understanding is that Ze Pilot intended to include a reworked battle UI in a future update of Moguri, and though this is intended to be the next update of the mod I'm not sure whether the UI is being updated as well since there hasn't been any mention of it.

Yeah I don't know of a mod that can be integrated out of the box, but I'd love it.

About beta, I'm still finishing some stuff, then I'll make a download. I'll need to talk to zePilot, but he's pretty busy and hard to reach unfortunately.

BTW Square Enix just did a big blunter, they deleted the entire steam game today... then they fixed it 1h later. Doesn't affect the update fortunately. I was wrong, I need to re-import everything in the game, that'll take the night :x

Square Enix update policies are a thing not understandable by mere mortals. Like that FF3 patch they pushed out of nowhere or randomly removing Denuvo from Octopath Traveler while leaving it on all their other games.

The worst case being FFXV Steam version which is unplayable now because of an update linked to Steamworks, while the Origin and Windows Store versions work just fine. I can't play FFXV with my Steam version and don't want to spend 60 euros for the complete Origin version. What a shame...
Square Enix never released an awesome port for their FF solo games on PC. Only online games like FFXIV ARR are well done.

Ok I'm almost done with a number of aspect of the update.

What I'll do is create a new thread for each aspect with a download:

-creatures/items/npc

-some minor ui stuff

-battle backgrounds

+ updating worldmap textures

Each thread will serve to collect feedback.

As for the scene backgrounds, I still have to correct some things, and I have trouble contacting zePilot. I need to contact him because this part is partially based on his work. We'll then proceed to put everything together in Moguri in one central download.

In case you want to use the occasion to fix that bug:
Quote
You can try a hacky fix like that until the modder(s) of Memoria fixes the problem [of the SFX being misplaced in widescreen mode]:

1) Download the tool dnSpy,
2) Open the Assembly-CSharp.dll using that tool,
3) Search for the class "SFXMesh" and its method "End", then right-click -> Edit Method,
4) Replace the 5 first lines of the method by these (the first and last lines being replaced should be the same as the lines replacing them):
Code: [Select]
    this.mesh.Clear();
    int[] array = new int[this.ibOffset];
    Buffer.BlockCopy(this.ibIndex, 0, array, 0, this.ibOffset << 2);
    Vector3[] meshvert = this.vbPos;
    for (int k = 0; k<this.vbOffset; ++k)
        meshvert[k].x = meshvert[k].x + 50f;
    this.mesh.vertices = meshvert;
    this.mesh.colors32 = this.vbCol;
5) "Compile" then "File -> Save Module".

Maybe the SFX will still be shifted a bit in-game. If that's the case, use a different number than "50f" in the code above (use a number higher to shift to the right of the screen and lower to shift to the left).

Note that if the SFX gets fixed with the widescreen mode, it will then bug with the non-widescreen mode.

I recently bought Final Fantasy IX on Steam after I found out about the Moguria Mod to play this masterpiece again since the first release on the PSX.
Now I've done some research in the modding scene so find out if there is a way to change the XBox Controller layout with the Playstation Controller layout and what I get is this awesome rework!
Of cause I will wait for this release to start my playthrough!
Because the progress shows 100% for some time I hope it will be released soon. Any News about it?

To make this more than awesome, is there a way to implement the option to choose between PSX and XBox layout?

Sign me in for a Beta if possible!
Unbelievable work you have done!

I've been working on the wordmap textures for the last few days, now that it's out of the way, I'm doing the backgrounds full time.

These are very cool textures O_o
It has become much more beautiful.
As I understand it, the background textures in the cities remained in the work?

It's in the works. I finished "playing/testing" the game today, and I've done screenshots of bugs between terra and the end. I now have 186 new screenshots to help me correct bugs in sanctuaries/branval/pandemonium/memoria/crystalworld, then I'll release a "beta" for people willing to test it.

I've noticed a few problems with other parts (npc/battle scenes/...) and create a new version of that too.

I must confess I was working on and off on this for the last 2 weeks because...

Mount & Blade II Bannerlord came out and I've been waiting for this game since its announcement in 2012. Before modding FFIX, I modded Mount & Blade Warband (Prophesy of Pendor mod). Anyway, this has nothing to do with anything : )

sorry but i installed the moguri a long time ago and i would not reinstall the mod again.
 if this updates the mod I install them willingly and in doubt I installed the

Assembly-CSharp.dll is the file that, modified, allows for HD backgrounds.
If you already have Moguri installed, you can ignore Assembly-CSharp.dll and replace the "p0data" files in the Moguri install folder.

The file included in Moguri is linking to podata files present in his own folder, which should somewhere like C:\program_files\Moguri Mod" or something like that.
So you can use Moguri's Assembly-CSharp.dll, and replace the podata files in C:\program_files\Moguri Mod\SharedAssets\

Stupid me. I totally missed that information. I thought I was crazy seeing the backgrounds going from Moguri's to yours with this file and was wondering how it was possible.
Works like a charm, thank you. Will come back for bug reports if any !

I was fearing this could be because I'm using a non-english version of the game.

Thank you.

If you want to see the biggest improvements and fixes compared to Moguri 7, you can head to:
-the clock in Memoria
-the windmill in Dali
-Clayra
-invincible ship interior
-Black Mage graveyard
-Lindblum's elevator
-holograms in oeilvert
-all text before new places (at least in English and French, will do Italian/Spanish/German if Memoria is fixed in that regard) except 3 that might not work

If, by any chance, you want to make comparison sliders on https://imgsli.com/, that'd be even better!

Quick question though, and sorry for posting OT, but is it a known issue in FFIX steam release that the music just cuts off when changing, instead of fading like in the PSX version?
And after a quick google search it seems that they butchered the sound effects as well, are there any fixes to these issues?

I had a similar problem initially, too. I have Moguri installed and whenever I extracted the 'Assembly-CSharp.dll' from snouz's rar file to the game's installation folder, the backgrounds reverted back to the old Moguri mod, while snouz's rar files worked on the old Moguri's 'Assembly-CSharp.dll' file but reintroduced side borders and weird controller issues.

Turns out I had Moguri mod installed on two separate hard drives for some strange reason (probably from previous installations) and was extracting snouz's p0data files to the wrong hard drive's Moguri mod location. lol

All fixed now and everything is working perfectly including the backgrounds, NPCs, worldmap textures, etc.

Said it several times already, but thanks so much for all of the effort snouz! Game looks absolutely incredible.

Hi all, thanks for the feedback so far !

Just woke up, here's my schedule for the day:
I'll include a how-to for both when moguri is already installed and when it's not. I'll also include everything in one big download, it'll be easier.
Maybe I should make a FAQ and cleanup the first post.
About the title screen, you'll be happy to know I worked on this and some other other elements, and that's part of a file I'm going to share soon. Still a bit of work on this one, as it includes both wordmaps (the one displayed with select before and after getting the mappemonde)
Right now, I'm working on updating the battle textures.

Don't hesitate to keep sending screenshots of things you think could be improved! I screenshot everything for my todo list

It should still be compatible.
What you need to do:
-Install normal moguri
-Only replace StreamingAssets files in the moguri install folder (program_files\Moguri mod\)
-install the ui mod.

I was unaware that there was a recent update to make it work with memoria. Does this mod work out of the box or do you need to tweak things? I've sent a steam friend request to discuss.

I just checked it out and it works out of the box (kinda). It introduces and has a few issues though, namely:

- It disables widescreen by default, requiring one to edit the memoria.ini file and re-enable it
- Battle animations are vastly sped up as a result of the mod increasing battle animations to 30fps. This also needs to be manually edited in memoria back down to 15fps
- The battle UI is quite tiny and is not properly scaled to the rest of the screen. I'm playing at 1080p so I can't imagine that being an issue. Don't see any option to edit the UI size in memoria either
- Cursor tends to disappear occasionally in menus, most evidently when given the option to overwrite an existing save. The mod creator says they're aware of this and are looking for a fix
- Biggest issue for me is that it introduces a severe delay between screen transitions that appears to last anywhere between 3-10 seconds. This is affecting screen transitions, and both entering and exiting battles. I've tried this with both the original Moguri, your rework, and the Scaled UI mod and can confirm that this delay is only appearing after installing the Scaled UI mod.

Another user on Nexus is also reporting what appears to be a game-breaking bug in the fight against the Plant Brain after installing the mod but I haven't checked that out to confirm as of yet

So yeah, I wouldn't personally recommend using the Scaled UI mod right now unless you or ZePilOt are able to have it implemented with Moguri in a stable state.

mmh, that's still a lot of problems TBH. Issues related to memoria.ini shouldn't be a big deal, but the loading screens of 3-10 seconds is not great, as well as the non-scaling and game breaking bug.

Almost forgot this one. There are 5 background with people on them (the 4 others are all Lindblum Commercial district), and I've contemplated ways to replace these pixels with actual renders of 3D models. But I need to find suitable screenshots.
If someone manages to use something like Noesis (https://www.reddit.com/r/ffximodding/comments/98yov8/tutorial_how_to_use_noesis_3d_model_viewer_and/) to export some renders in specific poses, like they did with FF8 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19218.150), that would be so much better.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll soften dali's skies with touches of waifu2x renders.

Note that the endgame should generally be less janky, as my techniques progressively got more efficient. I'm planning to do another pass on the beginning of the game.

Note that working a screenshot of a scrolling sky in photoshop won't accurately display what it'll look like, I'm forced to use 1 bit transparency and that creates a staircase effect between them. Same problem in Clayra. But yeah, this tree needs to be reworked to look more natural.

Replacing the original Assembly-CSharp.dll with yours disables all the changes from memoria.ini. Font is reverted to something else I don't want, Intro logos aren't skipped anymore, fps aren't changed...

Right, okay... I just had to do a little bit more of reading:

Assembly-CSharp.dll is the file that, modified, allows for HD backgrounds.
If you already have Moguri installed, you can ignore Assembly-CSharp.dll and replace the "p0data" files in the Moguri install folder.

I replaced the game's p0data files, not the ones from Moguri, so nothing was being applied when Moguri was enabled. :P

Spent the better part of the evening experimenting with various setups, vanilla, original Moguri, standalone Memoria, what font I'd like, which battle UI, etc... For now, I'll probably just stick to vanilla Steam + Snouz's files. I'm well overdue for another FF9 playthrough and I'll keep an eye out for bugs in-game and updated files here. Cheers!

Couldn't find that texture in any file :( I can just work on the main one and its transparency. I could try to cover it up as much as possible with the high res one, but that's just patching things up...

It seems it is because of Japanese. I just found this thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasy/comments/6jacfu/ffix_lindblum_or_lindbulm_as_the_map_says/) about it.

Either way, it is called Lindblum in EN version so you can fix it IMHO.

It's not like that. This is a beta test and there is no room for formalities. I believe Snouz understand that. It is in every beta tests like that. It's better to dedicate the time playing nad looking for bugs than to dedicate it to writing tons of formal text.

A lot of people wanted Snout released a beta version of this mod but most of them are just playing and not paying attention to the possible bugs. It is not very enjoyable to play like beta tester and you should be like for people like me. I do it for everyone. So please keep quite.

There's always room for some courtesy! Even though it's considered a beta test snouz have no obligations whatsoever! It's great that people make bug reports as snouz wanted, but don't come stamping in here making demands.

Wow very strange. What is the moment exactly? (game start? before meeting puck?) In my save there's a patron there, and he's drinking an imaginary glass, while the actual glass is floating there too.
I'll quickly install the game on a second computer to see how it is with no mod, because It might be a bug from the original release.
If someone spot another place in the game where this glass texture is used, that could help. If there's none, I could just make the texture transparent.

Anyway, I found something else you might want to retouch, @snouz:

Again, I took nothing wrongly.
I'd prefer if this thread was focused on bug reports, no matter the form, as it's very useful to me so far. If you really have to argue, please not here.


Remember there's also a language bias. A little anecdote, I'm working in support, and for the longest time, I would use "please" at the beginning of sentences, like "please do this...", and I only learned later that in English, it's very imperative, while in French, it's not.

These damn lines in battle backgrounds... I'm trying to get rid of it but it's infructuous so far. I'll check if there something special with this one specifically.

Unfortunately, I have no access to any attack effects. I would love to work on this, but I spoke with Tirlititi yesterday, and even he doesn't know how to edit them.

There's a separate folder with alpha for each layer and each frame of animation, then everything is combined (anim layers, static layers, light layers, each with their respective alpha) with a script and it looks like this:

Then I pass it in Hades workshop's mass converter and it creates 1 file for each field that the engine can read.

I think you've got the wrong version. You've probably installed Moguri first. What you need to do is put the beta files in the Moguri install folder instead (somewhere in /program files/Moguri Mod) and ignore the AssemblyCSharp dll file. (just replace the bin files in StreamingAssets)

I feel like I saw this mentioned earlier somewhere but I can't seem to find it or if it had been addressed or not, and admittedly it's not even a big deal.

Thank you very much for the rework! I've been following your progress for a long time and I'm interested trying it out. I have it installed right now but I'm not quite sure if it's working.

If possible could you provide a comparison between the original mod and your rework from early on in the game? Say one of the scene from around when you get control of Vivi? That way I can tell if the rework is working as intended.

Thank you very much in advance.

Think I figured out part of where I messed up, figured this would replace moguri so I was just copying over files to a fresh install. My question now is how to go about installing this and the rest of snouz's mods. Do I just copy them into the game directory or overwrite moguris files in my program files folder? Or a mix of both?

If you already have Moguri mod installed, you need only copy the p0data files from each of snouz's downloads into your Moguri mod folder (so 'Program Files\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets') and overwrite the existing files there. You need not copy the files to the game's directory since the game reads the p0data files from your Moguri folder.

Also, since you have Moguri installed, be sure to exclude copying over the 'Assembly-CSharp.dll' file included in snouz's background mod since Moguri's modified 'Assembly-CSharp.dll' already takes care of everything. Snouz's dll file is only to be used if you don't have Moguri installed.

I think the images looks very different in details. Maybe you used different settings for some of them?

For example, this one (https://imgsli.com/MTUyMjQ) is very good and there are the same clouds, just better - without issues like ghosting. They have a lot of details and look realistic. I like this very much.

In this picture (https://imgsli.com/MTUyMjA), the new clouds are a different type (they looked like Cirrus clouds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_cloud) and now they look like Cumulus clouds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulus_cloud)) and don't look so realistic. They look more like  oil painting. They have quit big flat parts without details. I think the clouds in the first picture are better.

Salut Snouz, déja bravo pour le travail accompli

J'ai pas tout compris sur ton installation (je pense que tu parle français donc je vais parler français pour une meilleure communication).

J'ai installer Moguri, j'ai 4 fichiers (battlebackground V2, NPC V2, UIstuff V2, Worlmaptexture V2) que j'ai décompresser pour avoir les fichiers bin (p0data2, 3 et 4) ainsi que le dossier X64. Il doit me manquer les fichiers du dossier Main Background (que tu va rajouter par la suite je pense je vais attendre ton pack complet).

Dans le cas ou j'aurais tout les dossiers j'aimerais savoir si les fichiers bin et X64 faut les remplacer par les fichier bin dans le dossier du jeu steam ou dans le dossier du Moguri Mod, ou peut etre les 2 ?

Je sais que le dossier UIstuff V2 (donc le dossier X64) je l'ai remplacer directement par le dossierX64 dans le dossier du jeu steam et ça l'a appliqué directement, mais j'avais lu certains dire que c'était dans le dossier Moguri Mod, donc je t'avoue être un peu perdu dans la destination à envoyer ton pack.

merci de ta réponse :)

I've found a few bugs so far (the title screen is fixed with the updated files, thanks!)

You're playing with moguri, but without the beta.
Please replace files in /program files/Moguri Mod/ and not the final fantasy IX install folder. I've put an install guide.

Wow, the test of 8-bit transparency looks so good. It's crazy to realize that so good mood like this will be even much better. :-)

I also use SMAA antialiasing in ReShade for characters because they are quite toothy. Maybe it would be worth to include also ReShade with a special preset in the mod. Optionally of course. I don't understand the settings so I just activated it and it looks much better.

Also thanks for the mod V2! :)

thanks currently trying the mod came in handy since I never played ffix and what better than to play it in the best possible way, I tell you that they agree to a reshade since I always wanted full screen and it worked without problem good combination something what I am missing is that I want to change the graphics of the batllas for the original ps1 I think it comes only for English and French and I play in Spanish any mod that is compatible to change that?

I'll look into reshade or other ways to activate AA. I personally activate it in Nvidia settings, but it'd be cool if it's included!

If you have Moguri mod installed and have accidentally replaced the DLL in your FF9 directory with snouz's included DLL file, then the game will not read the files from your Moguri mod folder.

Another possibility worth checking is to see whether you don't perhaps have Moguri installed on two or more different drives and may be replacing files in a Moguri directory that the game is not reading from.

If you still have no success, my suggestion would be to uninstall Moguri and FFIX, delete whichever remaining files are on your drive for both, then do a fresh reinstall of FFIX and snouz's files. Ought to definitely work then.

Thanks everyone for the support !

I've now included a small screenshot in the OP to recognize if you have correctly installed my version.

ZePilot has given me access to the official website, and I have updated it a bit.

I've included a changelog for the update (both here and on the website)

And I'm currently preparing comparison screenshots.

Also preparing V3!

Keep reporting errors, I'm correcting them as I go

Also, yes, I've had a bit more time recently, as my day job involves working with cinemas in Europe...

My one question is, will 8.0 be compatibile with Alternate Fantasy? I know that is NOT your mod and the beta lists that it is not supported, but I figured I would ask.

Tirlititi has retired from modding FFIX, but when this update officially hits, I'll talk to him and I'm sure we can arrange a compatible version! It's just a question of combining assets.

Hello!
I just installed FF9 and the 8.0 mod for the first time.

I notice two things :
- The game is not in 16/9.
- The font is Steam's version and not the PSX-like font.

Being very bad at file "hacking", I don't know how to change that, or even if it's possible.
If someone can give me some information, I'd be happy to.

Thank you all, and congratulations for your work !

Those are some impressive comparisons.

That said, I noticed:

. https://imgsli.com/MTU1MDk
At the castles at the back on the bottom of the screen, the cutout transparency is a bit off and there are some "ghosts" left. Adding to that, as a suggestion, it looks like those castles are supposed to be blurred, like a camera effect;

. https://imgsli.com/MTU1MTA
Just a suggestion again, those castles on the left side could use some touch by hand to blend more with the background. Maybe a little color change/or remove the whiteness/or a bit of blur;

. https://imgsli.com/MTU0MzM
The lamp post on the left became too thin, and that lamp has the bottom part removed; The background city could use some camera blur (looks like they were aiming for that look); The original font looks like has some transparency;

. https://imgsli.com/MTU0NDI
The color on the railing/gate is much darker than the original, but maybe is for the better. Still, it could be a bit brightened;

. Some or most of the screens are a bit misplaced if comparing to the original. Like they are slightly moved, so some npcs are not where they should be, some sitting in chairs that are a bit off/etc - but it might only be noticeable if comparing side by side.

. As was already mentioned, sometimes the clouds are better using waifu, but sometimes are better with AI (maybe use a mix?).

No need to follow everything I said, it's just me nitpicking it's already awesome as it is.

By the way, the font available there (https://steamcommunity.com/app/377840/discussions/0/1626286205693788155/) by Teaito is way more faithful to the PSX font than what is (or at least was until recently) proposed by the Moguri mod.

One question though: Where is the file memoria.ini ?

To install the font it is specified that: Replace "Arial" with "Alexandria" in the memoria.ini file.

But I can't find this file :(

Apart from the re-orchestrated soundtrack (which I'm personally not a fan of), nothing. Snouz's mod as it currently exists replaces everything that Moguri does (HD backgrounds, but even better) and more (UI stuff, world map textures, HD NPCs and monsters, etc).

Per the first page:

Quote
    Fixed : almost all visual glitches
    Redrawing of all layer edges (all 11000+)
    Cleaner / sharper graphics
    Better & cleaner lighting (all 1400+)
    Background animations better integrated
    Recreated all places names with original fonts
    Manually redrawn some parts (some partially based on portfolio images by Wesley Cann & Behrooz Roozbeh)
    Seamless scrolling skies & backgrounds, removed 'staircase' edges
    HD worldmap (manually redone, seamless and faithful)
    HD NPC / monsters / background objects
    HD battlefields with redrawn edges and seamless skies
    Recreated maps, start menu, game over, portrait edges

I think if we don't install 7.0.1 we don't have access to 16:9 or the right font. On my side, I didn't install 7.0.1 and I don't have the memoria.ini file that allows me to make these modifications.

You can install this and Memoria separately, you'll have the same features, minus the orchestral music (which I think is not necessary at all)

@Tirlititi, Great! I'll let a word to zePilot when we repackage everything.

@magitek, advices taken, I've some some tweaks to the ones you mentioned. The offset (2px top left offset to be precise) is present in the first third of the game, because the original moguri did that. But I've corrected the ones I had left about when I arrived at Clayra. I came back and corrected a few, but it'd be a pain to correct everything after I had already painted the borders, and it's really not noticeable most of the time.

I'll look into reshade or other ways to activate AA. I personally activate it in Nvidia settings, but it'd be cool if it's included!

Did you happen to look at the ReShade preset I mentioned in a PM? It's not overly complicated and does include SMAA/FXAA settings. Maybe it could serve as a basis or reference point for a preset bundled with the mod?

Also, if you'd like access to the footage of my current playthrough via YT, just tell me and I'll be happy to make that available. :)

You're correct. I completely forgot about that.

I think it is best to just install Moguri + FFIX, and replace the files in the Moguri folder with Snouz's work so you get the font and 16:9 aspect ratio.

In fact, the next update of Moguri's mod is the snouz update. This is why this topic is now renamed Moguri Mod update 8.0.

Guys, this is the next Moguri version, I won't do my separate mod. It would fraction the community and be counterproductive IMO.

Anyway, I'm very proud to say I figured out, with the help of Tirlititi himself, how to fix a bug introduced in the steam version. The rope and bucket animation in Gulug was broken as it only displayed BEHIND the base layer. By adding code, I managed to fix it!

But then I realized it's a bug with the steam version:

But then I realized IT'S A FREAKIN BUG WITH THE ORIGINAL GAME:

(https://i.imgur.com/T8z2rls.jpg)

I'll keep you up-to-date if I manage to fix this one. It's clear from this other angle that it's not supposed to look like that.

(https://i.imgur.com/wY46rHe.jpg)

I might have a solution in mind and it shouldn't involve any code change. It's fairly complex, so It probably won't make it to v3.

There's also another one that's bothering me.

This screen (original PSX screenshot) is not like it's supposed to be.
(https://i.imgur.com/8mDuJgR.jpg)

There are 3 parallax layers:

The red layer should be in front the blue in the bottom, and behind at the top. Here's the separate layer in the files:

- There is a scrolling line in the background sky:Image 1 (https://i.gyazo.com/0b9687235bbec60955a6a3dc4648d4ba.jpg), Image 2 (https://i.gyazo.com/50e1a05ccef66d5a7c7082b3f9c5cca5.png)
- Some floating pixels and an -I don't know whats that- that is too thin: Image 3 (https://i.gyazo.com/cd3d0be5989c1353fe8206db45fe66bb.jpg)

In Madain Sari:

- There's a dark patch on a cloud: Image 4 (https://i.gyazo.com/19723797f1f335b42cc831ea02044b7a.jpg)

Also, I don't know wether that's fixable, but I've noticed that the titles that appear when you get to a new place (ie, Ice Cavern) are displayed in English even when you're playing in another language.

Thank you for your great work!

If I only install Moguri 7 there is pixelated font.
if I install Moguri 7 with Beta V2 font is standard-normal and pretty much cant change it, there is small spectrum like Comic Sans or whatever. Is it normal behaviour? First time playing.

@Enridonn Screenshots fixed!
For the language thing, it's a Memoria bug. Without Moguri/memoria and only the beta, you'll have your own language. I've only properly upscaled English and French until the problem is fixed in Memoria.

@ericdepositar I don't know, probably. Does it happen with the whole game?

Right now, I'm working on baked people. I found a tool to view models in the PSX game:

Snouz, i was wondering... for fixes to original game issues like those to backgrounds could you post the code or release a separate hws patch?
I for one would be VERY interested in adding those fixes to my own mod without overwriting files. well at least unless those fixes end up in p0data11-19, since we're overwriting them anyway.

The fix to the crystal world 1 field and Golug well will be in p0data7. I'm planning to fix a few others like some chests going in front of foreground objects etc.
Here are the 2 "code" fixes I have right now:

Gulug/Well 1
In Main_Init and Main_Reinit, at the start of the function:
    SetTilePositionEx( 23, 0, 0, 4000 )

Crystal World 1
In Main_Init and Main_Reinit, at the start of the function:
    SetTilePositionEx( 8, 0, 0, 3000 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 10, 0, 0, -600 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 11, 0, 0, -600 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 12, 0, 0, 2000 )

This is simply changing the distance from camera of some layers, at the start of the field and after a fight.

The one in crystal world will require a little bit of texture change to not look weird though.

Yeah, i'm mostly interested in changes outside those files (11-19) cause i'll totally be copypasting yours when they come out, but p0data7 contains other changes from my own mod so i need to manually add your changes ;)

Anyway, outstanding work as always.

Figured it out :)

So both fixes from above:
In Gargan Roo/Passage 1
Main_Init
Main_Reinit
Change:
    SetTilePositionEx( 2, 0, 0, 150 )
To:
    SetTilePositionEx( 2, 0, 0, 70 )

In Dali/Production Area 2
Main_Init
Main_Reinit
Add at the beginning of the function:
    SetTilePositionEx( 27, 0, 0, -100 )

Awesome work snouz!

Here's just some nitpicky things that I notice:

moogle's wing goes through the chair? maybe went too thin on parts of the chair? https://imgsli.com/MTU0NTY

maybe touch the suit of armor's hand and part of the door frame: https://imgsli.com/MTU0NjA

the airship model should be behind the weapon rack and the ladder? also it rotated? I couldn't find a picture of what this looked like on the psx. https://imgsli.com/MTU0NjU

maybe some weirdness with the gem-shaped cutouts on the left and right sides? pretty sure the top, right one shouldn't be there. and some weirdness with the layering. it's hard to see because it's brown on brown, but some squares of brown cover over some details. also could hit the transparency again on the vertical gateway / entrance to the platform: https://imgsli.com/MTU0OTM

could blur some of the dithering happening in the distant parts of the tunnels: https://imgsli.com/MTU0Njg

some ghosting due to transparency around the spires in the bottom middle part of the image: https://imgsli.com/MTU1MDk

it looks like the layer with the beams of light from the windows is missing: https://i.imgur.com/NZZbn8V.png

could hit the transparency again with 8-bit:  https://imgsli.com/MTU0NTA https://imgsli.com/MTU0NDg https://imgsli.com/MTU0NDA, https://imgsli.com/MTU0MjI https://imgsli.com/MTU0NjM https://imgsli.com/MTU1MTA

Thanks for the observations! Nitpicking is what is needed right now.

> moogle's wing goes through the chair? maybe went too thin on parts of the chair? https://imgsli.com/MTU0NTY
I tried to fix that today, it was impossible! I can change the width of it, but the moogle is partly in front of it. The problem is that the chair and the bed are the same layer, and if I try to get the layer closer, Zidane begins appearing behind the bed. I might do an image doctoring at one point to just turn the chair...

> the airship model should be behind the weapon rack and the ladder? also it rotated? https://imgsli.com/MTU0NjU
This is normal, it turns on itself. It's a reward for the coffee quest. It can't be behind the weapon rack, because the weapon rack doesn't have its own layer.

> it looks like the layer with the beams of light from the windows is missing: https://i.imgur.com/NZZbn8V.png
I just checked in game and a lets play, it's not missing, no worry.

The rest is noted or done already : )

I guess it's just floating there? It's confusing where it is within the space of the scene.

The left-most character here https://i.imgur.com/FDa4QRv.jpg looks thicker, more like another bandana wearing guy like the one here https://i.imgur.com/P01rJ1N.jpg

I registered to say thank to you snouz, your work is incredible, thanks for making this for all of us. I have never played FFIX before and i will be able to do it with your awesome mod for the first time.
I have something to report, I don't know if it is a bug but i lost the 16:9 aspect ratio after i replaced the files of the game with the "moguri v7" installed with your "moguri 8 v2 beta" files.
Also i apreciated in the images that the floor lost texture quality and the tower have a bit blur effect. Could your mod have conflicts with the moguri v7?

Tirlititi has managed to find the problem with importing moving objects on the worldmap!

Salut Snouz ! Comment vas-tu ?

J'ai une petite question, pour le retraitement des décors de jeux, qu'est ce que tu as utilisé ? et ça t'a pris combien de temps ? Tu penses qu'il serait possible de trouver une façon/un outil normalisée pour retravailler les décors, je pense à Final Fantasy 7 et Jusete, JMP qui se sont lancés dans un parcours du combattant pour recréer tous les décors de FF7.

Autre question, si je devais me relancer une partie de FF9, tu me conseillerais d'installer là V.1 ou la beta V.2 ou d'attendre la V.3 ?

En te remerciant !

Ca va merci : )
Je bosse dessus depuis Juin, j'ai utilisé Hades Workshop et le script de zePilot (modifié à plein d'endroits pour la facilité), ainsi que ESRGAN. Photoshop évidemment. Gimp pour certains types de fichiers. Pour mettre toute la base en place, je me suis cassé la tête pendant environ 2 semaines. Une fois que j'aurai tout fini, je ferai probablement un petit tuto.
Je sors la V3 dans vraiment pas longtemps (1h? 2h?), j'attendrais jusque là.

Ok Snouz i imported both the field script changes you posted in p0data2.bin (thanks again) and your UI upgrades to resources and sharedassets2.

I'm assuming there won't be more changes to those three files (if not please tell me), so i wanted to ask:
do you mind if I release my modded resources and sharedassets2 with your files already in, to ease mod installation? I'd obviously be crediting you every file and i'll recommend this mod anyway with a link, so people can grab the upscaled background and world map textures, since those files don't conflict with my own.

I have not followed your work for a long time. You have a good progress! :)

Do you load these backs by importing from PSD to Memoria or using your own mechanism?

We fixed such problems. Black lines are corrected by padding. The width of the padding depends on the resolution of the texture (we tested on 8K textures, if I remember correctly).
At what the game not just doubling the extreme pixels, but uses a cunning borrowing of pixels from neighboring layers.

As far as I remember, we solved these problems, import from PSD should work correctly. But we checked only in Alexandria, perhaps. Other locations will have similar problems.

Hi Albeoris! Nice to see you here : )

Not sure I understand everything, are you talking about the border of the tiles, like this horrible effect?: https://i.imgur.com/ZmAYSY5.jpg You have a solution for that?. What do you mean importing PSD to Memoria? Who is we?

My process is to re-import is through Hades Workshop with the mass converter/importer, and I'm mainly using zePilot's code and workflow for everything before.

If you'd like to discuss Memoria, the mods and stuff, we could talk through steam?

Sure, you can use these files!
you mean p0data7 right? 2 is where the battle textures are
There shouldn't be anymore change to those no, except if I manage to edit battle animations, which I haven't tried yet, but Tirlititi showed me a possible way.

I'll be posting other fixes if I find others. I'm working on the one in desert palace prison, with closed/open doors, but It's not a priority.

I mixed the two up but yeah I wanted to ask for permission for the files i actually listed.

Those containing both your graphic enhanchments and my changes. Those are p0data2 (high res battle backgrounds and my changes) and resources and sharedassets2 for the UI improvements (again, in addition to my own changes).

Basically for conflicting files, so people don't have to do the mixing on their own and can come here, grab your files and install mine on top without further meddling.

I had plans to work on p0data2 again though. How will you combine the two? Take mine and integrate your files, or take yours and integrate my files? Because I plan to reimport some files with RGBA separately because the compression gets visible in some place. But that's an endeavor I'll take after correcting other bugs first.

Hi all, new here. This is amazing and getting me excited to play FF9 again. It is my favorite game from childhood, and I replay once every few years.

Wondering if anyone has experience playing FF9 on a Mac, and using this mod? I have not yet tried to use an emulator in order to play the Steam version (as I noticed it sin't compatible with Mac), and I'm not the most tech savvy. It seems as if folks have success playing the normal Steam version, but wonder if it would create any issues with using this mod?

Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated! Apologies again if this isn't the right thread.

Warm regards,

-Justin

I know the best way, for all gaming on mac, is a double boot (with bootcamp) with windows. I know someone who tried some pc games with wine or something, but it's always full of bugs.

thats amazing! is there going to be a separate thread for that or will it just be carried over into the HD World and Main beta?
The files that are now "unlocked" are spread accross resources.assets, p0data3 and p0data4. I think I'll just put everything in the main (next) beta!

This is fantastic! Does this mod also fix the pc version's horrible mobile ui and make it more like the psx version? And if not, is it planned to or does it work with another mod that does?
There's one mod by TehMighty, but it's not without problems (see earlier this thread), so it won't be included right now. But who knows in the future!

I have a question, how would you feel about animated water on the world map? I've found a way to make great looking animated water, but it's a departure from the very static water of the original.

It'd be pretty cool, but it may make it (even) harder to notice the chocobo hot and cold bubbles in the water.

Thank you so much for your work!! Personally I would not like it, but if in the installer you give us the option to choose whether to install it or not, I see no problem

I've just responded to a user on reddit, I'll post my reply here:

So how I did it, the water is already animated, it's got 6 frames for the little white spots. But the rests stays static. The original tiles are 32x32px, and I upscaled them x4 with Waifu2x. To add wiggling, like water like feature, I added 1% noise to the texture BEFORE I upscaled, so every frame is a tiny bit different. The effect is quite natural I think.

I've made a quick gif: (https://i.imgur.com/Ksytt6P.gif)
A before pic: https://i.imgur.com/Ylk0LGJ.jpg

To get this soft look, I upscaled twice: 1) waifu2x x2 with high softening 2) waifu x2 with max softening.

The moving seas is hard to imagine in just a Picture...

I've testet it and i think it looks good and sticks close to the original.
However I have the feeling that the checkered pattern of the textures is more obviously with the moving sea.
Don't know if this could be optimised.

I would still use the moving sea anyway but it might be good if this is made optional with the Moguri installer.

Without moving seas:

Post by: snouz on 2020-05-07 09:33:57
Yeah the pattern is not great, but I have very little control there, as the there are 4 different squares that can be in any order, any direction, mirrored, so any given border can be next to any other 32 other border.
The only 2 solutions:
1) making the border pretty uniform (partially what I did with desert patterns) but it creates an unnatural pattern.
2) adding a lot of noise, but that mainly works with noisy textures like grass or sand.

Unfortunately, making it an option is not an option, as you can't change individual files inside p0data3. But if there's a popular demand for static seas, I'll make an optional download or making it even more subtle.

And it is not possible to prepare 2 different "p0data3.bin"? One with and the other without, and the installer is responsible for pasting one or the other. They are only 100Mb, 200 with 2 different versions.

Hi everyone,

Thank you Snouz for you work and dedication.

I have a question about the patch:
-If we have the last moguri version installed do we have to uninstall it or just replace the files (even the Assembly-CSharp.dll ?)

Why I'm asking that, because I noticed some conflict when I replaced these files with your patch, like some blur effect on objects, for at Alexendria the grass before the gate are blurred, but in the moguri 7.0 not.

Do I'm doing something wrong ?

Thank you

I have 1 question. I have the sound fix v2.1 and v2.2 but they replace the resources.assets and assemblysharp files. Are you planning to include this fixes in the mod? or upload a modification of this files to make the mods compatible?. If not, do you know what sould i do to have this sound fixes in my game.

I'm trying to understand the whole "sound fix mod" situation. After a bit of investigation with google and wayback machine, here's what I gathered.

If i understand correctly, there's one mod that fixes some bugs (in AssemblyCSharp.dll), as well as replaces sounds with better/original ones (in p0data or resources files -> would be easy to combine)
But the author has allegedly caused some trouble here and there:
Banned from Nexus (https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy9/mods/14) - all other links link there. No luck with wayback machine.
Their reddit profile is u/dclem2 and they're still active (https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyIX/comments/bgamwe/final_fantasy_ix_pc_complete_sounds_fix/)

Apparently, the AssemblyCSharp part of it (https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/commit/e6fc72561d3fd4721881f528aedfd9d0d4e2f672) was added to Memoria by zePilot and will thus be part of 8.0
But for the "replacing all sounds" part, I don't have my hand on it. I don't know if there's a way to convince the modder to allow us to download and add it to Moguri.

I think you did the same mistake as myself and others.

From the first post :

IF YOU HAVE MOGURI INSTALLED (not required!)
1) If you installed it before 2020-04-2, uninstall and re-install Moguri again (SquareEnix pushed a Steam update that temporarily broke the game and Moguri)
2) Extract the content of StreamingAssets in \Program Files (x86)\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets\
3) Extract \x64\FF9_Data\resources.assets & \x64\FF9_Data\sharedassets2.assets to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\x64\FF9_Data\
   but DON'T replace Assembly-CSharp.dll

If you have moguri mod already, you have to replace de files in the Moguri mod folder, and not the game folder. And you don't have to touch the Assembly-CSharp.dll .

If you have Moguri installed and beta 3 on top, don't replace assemblycsharp, only bin files in the moguri folder, and assets file in FFIX folder. There's an install guide. answered above
If some backgrounds are more blurred, you should screenshot them (I recommend geenshot (https://getgreenshot.org/) and imgur for hosting (https://imgur.com/)) and I'll try to improve on the render. For some, I combined several renders and tried to achieve the best result, so it's possible. Also, I've slightly blurred some parts to achieve a better depth (like skies). I'm encouraging everyone to nitpick and send screenshots. This is a beta, it'll help.

So when the Rework goes out of beta it won't work on stock FF9 like now? It'll require the Memoria engine like the Moguri Mod?

Thanks all for the file. Thanks to Doom Oyster, I got my hand on a fix for missing monster death sounds by Tirliliti, who kindly accepted I include it. I will avoid using the parts of the "sound fix" by /u/dclem2 that are not already fixed by Tirlititi and Memoria, as dclem2 apparently doesn't want to be part of this community, but if someone wants to recreate the missing parts...

So when the Rework goes out of beta it won't work on stock FF9 like now? It'll require the Memoria engine like the Moguri Mod?
Well my goal is to build on top of the existing project. The final update (combined and compiled by zePilot when all of this is done) will include Memoria.
BTW, Albeoris told me he just published a new Memoria version (https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/releases), and he fixed, between other things:
-the problem I reported of english only place names --> now I'll have to do a proper upscale of german, italian and spanish!
-crashes on battles !

About the moving water:
I've done a test with adding a plain color at 60% opacity at tile borders, but that's worse: https://i.imgur.com/lLTfxtS.jpg
I'll try adding noise instead and try to find the best balance.

About blurry backgrounds, I'll have to test with Memoria, as I think the rendering changes a bit.
The scenes with bach is surprising. I haven't tested it in widescreen. Is it fixed when you switch to not-widescreen?

EDIT: the Memoria update from this morning is crashing on startup. I've reported it and waiting for a fix.

Thanks all for the file. Thanks to Doom Oyster, I got my hand on a fix for missing monster death sounds by Tirliliti, who kindly accepted I include it. I will avoid using the parts of the "sound fix" by /u/dclem2 that are not already fixed by Tirlititi and Memoria, as dclem2 apparently doesn't want to be part of this community, but if someone wants to recreate the missing parts...
Well my goal is to build on top of the existing project. The final update (combined and compiled by zePilot when all of this is done) will include Memoria.
BTW, Albeoris told me he just published a new Memoria version (https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/releases), and he fixed, between other things:
-the problem I reported of english only place names --> now I'll have to do a proper upscale of german, italian and spanish!
-crashes on battles !

About the moving water:
I've done a test with adding a plain color at 60% opacity at tile borders, but that's worse: https://i.imgur.com/lLTfxtS.jpg
I'll try adding noise instead and try to find the best balance.

About blurry backgrounds, I'll have to test with Memoria, as I think the rendering changes a bit.
The scenes with bach is surprising. I haven't tested it in widescreen. Is it fixed when you switch to not-widescreen?

First of all, thank you for the amazing work you do, I always wanted to play ffix but wanted to play it in the best way I could. Now with your and others great efforts is the best time to play the game.

I only have one question, I wanted to install the latest version of memoria along with Moguri 8 Beta, is this possible? if yes I would really appreciate you could tell me how.

Thanks again.

Hi there Snouz!

First of all, I want to thank you so much for further improving the Moguri Mod. ZePilot has done an amazing job, and yet you managed to improve it and bring it to perfection. FFIX is my favourite game of all time so it really means a lot.

I started today a new game of FFIX with your mod and I have found one bug where the characters end up behind the fence that's part of the background. It's the (kind of useless) location right when you get out of the Evil Forest and when you don't go straight to Ice Caverns:

I will keep you updated if I find something else!

Last version doesn't work right now, your best bet if you want memoria would be to install moguri 7 and follow the instruction in the install guide I provided.

Ah good eye! I forgot to revert back the change from a depth test. I was trying to fix the chest going in front of the post. Fixed.

@Caledor, I managed to fix another depth bug from PSX: the gates in the desert palace that are half closed, half open.
It's a bit more tricky:

in field Palace/Dungeon 2
in Main_init (beginning of the function:
    SetTilePositionEx( 13, 0, 0, 500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 18, 0, 0, 500 )

after "    case 9530:" and after "    case 9815:"
        SetTilePositionEx( 2, 0, 0, -500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 3, 0, 0, -500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 4, 0, 0, -500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 5, 0, 0, -500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 6, 0, 0, -500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 7, 0, 0, -500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 8, 0, 0, -500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 9, 0, 0, -500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 13, 0, 0, -500 )


In Function Zidane_13
replace:
    ShowTile( 2, 0 )
    SetObjectLogicalSize( 14, 20, 30 )
    InitWalk(  )
    Walk( -1983, 2306 )
    InitWalk(  )

with:
    ShowTile( 2, 0 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 3, 0, 0, -500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 4, 0, 0, -500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 5, 0, 0, -500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 6, 0, 0, -500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 7, 0, 0, -500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 8, 0, 0, -500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 9, 0, 0, -500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 13, 0, 0, -500 )
    SetObjectLogicalSize( 14, 20, 30 )
    InitWalk(  )
    Walk( -1983, 2306 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 3, 0, 0, 500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 4, 0, 0, 500 )

    SetTilePositionEx( 8, 0, 0, 500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 9, 0, 0, 500 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 13, 0, 0, 500 )
    InitWalk(  )

In each main character _16:
add before "    WaitTurn(  )"
    SetTilePositionEx( 2, 0, 0, 200 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 3, 0, 0, 200 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 4, 0, 0, 200 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 5, 0, 0, 200 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 6, 0, 0, 200 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 7, 0, 0, 200 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 8, 0, 0, 200 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 9, 0, 0, 200 )
    SetTilePositionEx( 13, 0, 0, 200 )

This will re-arrange depth of doors so that no bit gets in front of characters and that they don't appear in front of the texture, while putting the closed doors layers in front of the open one.

Thanks snouz! Just tried and it works flawlessly except for one case: when frogcid goes out of the minigame and the party regroups, the doors will appear in front of the leading character when the goes near them. Obviously the issue is fixed by exiting and re-entering the room, but to fix that scene as well:

In Main_Loop near the end, after "ShowTile( 9, 1 )", i added:
        SetTilePositionEx( 2, 0, 0, 500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 3, 0, 0, 500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 4, 0, 0, 500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 5, 0, 0, 500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 6, 0, 0, 500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 7, 0, 0, 500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 8, 0, 0, 500 )
        SetTilePositionEx( 9, 0, 0, 500 )

Hate to be a bother, but I'm having an issue getting Moguri and this new version working together.

With V3

Without V3 (Moguri only)

I'm judging by the ice cavern picture, you can see once V3 is installed, Moguri doesn't seem to work on it (but I do love the changes you've made! The open world looks so much nicer!

I haven't updated the sharp dll because the readme says not to if I'm using Moguri already. The assets files have been updated and the rest have been put into the Moguri folder.

Ah thanks! I'm trusting you on this one and adding the fix. I've completely redone this field visually (regenerated, fixed here and there), it's been a difficult one, but I think it's almost perfect now.

BTW Al has fixed the crash of his latest Memoria version. Testing it right now. Then I'll work on water texture and worldmap objects, then I'll be ready for BETA V4.
EDIT: now the Memoria patcher runs but the game won't launch.

There are a number of sound fixes included, but the replacement of sounds with those from PSX is not happening. Except if someone finds it important enough to redo it (can't ear the difference myself).

Hi. First of all thanks for this amazing mod. It has been a pleasure to play FF9 again after years with this level of detail.

I've noticed that there is some problem with background upscaling when there are multiple frames and (maybe) no attempt at all on background video upscaling (please correct me if I'm wrong).
This is because the CNN used here tends to leave random artifacts when upscaling pictures that may not match between frames in a video (or in a sequence that should suggest motion).

However there are many implementations of video super-resolution (on papers with code for example) that should do the trick.
This is an example of EDVR on a video: https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzIwMDEyODU2MA==.html?spm=a2hzp.8244740.0.0
As you can see it's still a good enhance but it's far more stable and less "random" compared to the one used by this awesome mod, making video upscaling possible.

I've also noticed that every video is in OGV format already extracted, so it shouldn't be a problem (it may be more diffucult with animated backgrounds, at least for me).

It's unrelated, but I also made a mod for character faces in the menu. In particular short hair Dagger and Amarant seem off from the original PSX game. I've attempted this edit to "fix" them and used it in my playthrough. Feel free to use it https://imgur.com/a/oVxj3oi
it's a subtle mod, but made a huge difference to me (the gallery features a second and heavier modification with open eyes, I personally used the one with the original eyes and just the "fix" on the mouth).

Hello!

Great work so far.

Only today after upgrading to v4 im having some issues.

I have the double character name issue you describing in your first post.
Also in certain scenes when characters speak with eachother some letters are missing.
I think my save data got corrupted? Not sure if this is something that can be fixed which sucks because i really dont want to start over.
I just recieved Eiko as my party member. So if anybody has a save file around there that would help me.

I hope somebody can help me.

It's actually one issue and it's related to coming back from the moguri mod and the memoria engine to "stock" ff9, so maybe it's about the assembly c-sharp file if you copypasted v4 carelessly. try using the one from the moguri mod.

For me, editing character names throught the memoria save editor didn't work at all, but using the name changer at daguerreo fixed both issues at once.

Awesome! Are you considering changing "camera distance" ie zooming in to make scenes work in widescreen? Has anyone looked into changing the calculation for where effects are displayed in battle so they calculate correctly for different aspect ratios? (Tirlititi's post on page 5 of this thread but in the assembly csharp file in memoria)

Post by: Lykon on 2020-05-13 09:09:19
Sorry for the double post.

So, I've started to upscale videos from the Steam version using waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan for videos and srmd-ncnn-vulkan for videos (I'd like to use MMSR but I can't find a decent and stable implementation yet, however it doesn't really matter and I'll explain why).

The main problem I encountered is that videos are natively upscaled to 1080p in the steam version. For videos FMV***.bytes this is not an issue, since they seem to be upscaled decently or simply re-rendered (except FMV060.bytes for some reason). Videso labeled mbg***.bytes are a mess, since they've been upscaled using bicubic. Using a CNN on them "preserves" the bicubic upscaling, giving decent results only when seen on a 4k screen.

I have already upscaled (using super-resolution) every mbg***.bytes video to 4k, plus FMV000.bytes, FMV001.bytes and FMV060.bytes also to 4k.

Another (greater in my opinion) issue is that, regardless of my modification, mbg***.bytes videos do not match the static backgrounds they're swapped from/to (as they did in the original psx version where the transition was smooth and difficult to notice).

As far as I can tell there are 2 (obvious) ways to fix this:
1) adapt the static backgrounds to the videos (easy and probably with a more convincing result)
2) adapt the video to the static backgrounds (may leave a weird "PowerPoint" transition effect)

The effect I'm talking about is most noticeable (because of a completely different color palette, and of course the detail level) when the Alexander staircase appears in front of Dagger (right after mbg111.bytes ends).

I'd try that myself but I have no idea where to get the background images. A package with every background before/after every single mbg***.bytes video would be great.

You probably already know that, but the game accepts 4k videos. The only requirement is that they must use the Theora codec (OGV). Audio track doesn't seem to matter but I'm simply not using that, just like in the original files.

^^ On a related note, I was going to ask about this: The developer's conversion from the psx to steam gave the original steam version an odd color space where everything is de-contrasted (darkness levels 0-16 don't exist, everything is 16 - 255). And the color balance is off. To correct this in sweetFX reshade:

#define Levels_black_point 16     //[0 to 255] The black point is the new black - literally. Everything darker than this will become completely black.
#define Levels_white_point 255    //[0 to 255] The new white point. Everything brighter than this becomes completely white.
#define RGB_Lift  float3(1.000, 1.000, 0.950)  //[0.000 to 2.000] Adjust shadows for Red, Green and Blue.
#define RGB_Gamma float3(1.045, 1.020, 1.000)  //[0.000 to 2.000] Adjust midtones for Red, Green and Blue
#define RGB_Gain  float3(1.045, 1.020, 1.000)  //[0.000 to 2.000] Adjust highlights for Red, Green and Blue

Is the rework trying to correct for the color space or keep it the way it was (necessitating reshade)?

Hey guys,

Reletively new to all of this but adore FFIX so wanted to try the mod and beta!
Came across this layer issue in the gate just after the evil forest when they rescue Garnet. It also happened In the evil forest when they rescue Garnet and she's unconcious. Steiner is holding her and as Zidane approaches they appear in front like the fence even though he's in front of them. Hope that helps. This was with V3, so just got V4 and hope it won’t happen again :) sorry it’s a photo and not a screenshot!

Is the rework trying to correct for the color space or keep it the way it was (necessitating reshade)?
Are you talking about video specifically or the game in general? Because there is a huge color difference between video backgrounds (mbg***.bytes videos) and the corresponding swap to static backgrounds in cutscenes. The difference is even more clear because of the (good) work on backgroud upscaling (but it not really because of colors).


By the way I have uploaded the first version of the 4k video upscaling using super-resolution: https://mega.nz/file/MZEmna4S#6snFIa6rDITg7fR4ntcnwy9UKeo8ktSyWXR8-zjBxS0
(archive password is qhimm)

It doesn't really solve the color mismatch issue yet, but it's nice on 4k monitors compared to the normal bicubic upscaling. The difference on 1080p monitors is way more subtle because of what I mentioned in the previous post. 
For time reasons I've only upscaled the first 2 FMV videos, the last FMV video and every mbg video. I'd like to discuss more about this with you guys before committing further.

@Lykon Would you add me on steam or something? Video upscaling was my next project after bug fixing, especially those 16 where there are 3D objects (those that usually transition from a background). I managed to get a decent result, but I put it aside to do the main mod.
I'd be all up for us collaborating on that! I'm downloading your last link.

@Nuraya it's fixed in v4

@Doom Oyster I've never tried Reshade, but I will. I never noticed a color difference with the PSX version though.

I'd love that and I'm curious about your test result. Yesterday I wasn't really able to fine tune the algorithm as much as I wanted (maybe my workflow was not optimal given the fact that those 16 videos are already upscaled using a really noisy bicubic).

Uploading some test videos after a long chat with snouz yesterday.

The videos are meant for test purpose at this stage. The password for the archives is "lykon"

In the folders there are always 4 videos and the names should be enough to indicate the method differences. 15 fps videos only have super-resolution applied. 30 and 60 fps videos also have DAIN for frame interpolation.

The test videos I worked on for this test are mbg101 and mbg116. The files are already in the correct format.

What I did:
- installed moguri

The graphics are broken though, like 'split', as if my GPU was broken. So I had to uninstall/remove memoria. Is there a way to get v4 and memoria working simultaneously? Thank you.

It doesn't, you can download the latest memoria version there: https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/releases.
His widescreen fix doesn't work yet and if you see bugs with it, report them and I'll give the message.

Nope, but you can find that by installing Moguri 7, it's a file called \StreamingAssets\p0data61 that contains the music.
I did not change it and Tbh I don't use it and asked zePilot if he would consider changing the name to "alternate" orchestral music, because I find "Enhanced" pretty misleading (when I was a new user, I thought it'd be faithful to the original, but it's completely re-imagined)

Widescreen kinda randomly works for me, like in the open world it works but not when I enter towns etc. So I guess it's better to wait for an update to your moguri or Memoria? Since I assume it's a compatibility issue between them.

Thank you for your work.

It's not a compatible issue, it's a memoria bug issue. You can follow here https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/issues. I've given a list of exclusions to Albeoris, but I'm waiting for him to fix the widescreen function.

While playing through V4 I noticed some sound issues, some of which have strayed from the original PS1 version of FFIX

1.) In battle Reflect used to have it's own distinct sound effect when a spell would "bounce" off the character back to the other side of the battlefield.  In the steam version (as well as the HD console re-release ports) the sound of the spell that was cast plays when its reflected and then a second time when it actually happens.  I.E. if Vivi has auto-reflect and casts Flare on himself.  Flare sound effect will play during the reflect animation (instead of the old reflect sound from PS1) and then the Flare sound effect will play again immediately as it hits the opponent.

2.) In the final cut-scene before the final Necron battle the music is playing 2 tracks instead of just one.  It plays much slower versions of the music for that segment of dialogue and the Necron battle theme making the songs overlap each other.  It's very jarring and it causes that music to not loop after a while during the battle.  Important to note I'm using most recent version of Moguri that is using the "enhanced" music so my p0 file might just need to be re-installed, but if anyone else can confirm this is happening to them as well that would be awesome!

This may not be the proper forum to bring this up, but I noticed the death sounds were added to the V4 update so I thought it might apply.

I also need to double check some lanterns on the hilda guard's bridge background (zorn and thorn scene with the blackmage steering) that looked a little strange in the background, but that was versions ago when I saw that scene so it may have already been fixed.  When I get a chance to pull up that image again for V4 if it's still there I'll post an image.  Hope any of that helps!

Yo snouz,

great work, cant wait for version 8.0 :)
Actually, thats exactly my problem: I really want to play this mod with Alternate Fantasy, however as you stated it's not compatible yet with AF.
So my question is: Do you have a rough ETA for version 8.0? Like Q/2/3/4 2020 or maybe even next year ?

Thanks. Much love  :mrgreen:

It's days away!

About the sound fix, see the discussion above, if someone wants to fix these issues without copy pasting the work of dclem, that'd be great. But I'm better off not touching that persons work.

There was some great progress today!
-Memoria fixes for widescreen, which is completely stable and working (no more animation offset or scene glitches, or character in front of black)
-Memoria was modified to accept 30 fps videos
-Lykon has transformed 22 FMV (so far) to 30 FPS using mainly a deep learning algorhythm called DAIN
-I found the way to add Teaito's faithful font to the game through Memoria
-I fixed video transitions with video editing
-plenty of small fixes

zePilot is waiting a bit that Lykon and I finish everything, then update 8 it is!

In fact, even if its work is not included in Moguri mod, it seems easy to add to one's game: "Replace files: p0data62.bin & p0data63.bin into the StreamingAssets\ folder".

Unfortunately I've tried that with the files that were provided in the response sent to be but it didn't work.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, current version of moguri, and mixing and matching the provided update files with vanilla ffix, moguri, and V4 beta on here but couldn't get the final boss battle music to play properly.  Again could be something dumb I'm doing with my setup, but that's what's happening for me.  Maybe someone will find a fix later down the line after moguri 8 is fully released, and if I find something I'll def post it here if I'm not the only one encountering the problem.

On another note I can't believe version 8 is coming so soon with all the things Snouz listed I'm so excited to install it!

In fact, I only said that the sound fix mod was useful for the reflection sfx, I did not know if it could be useful for your other sound problem. If we are lucky, someone will fix it in further updates.

I'm sure this is not the right place to ask..but I have no where else to go..

I've been trying to get the latest Memoria mod working with this... mostly for the Wide Screen and Analog Support, but in these few things I have noticed:

1: It seems like 50% of the screens are not wide screen? I am at the start with Vivi and some of them are wide while others aren't.

2: After installing Memoria Mod, my D-Pad no longer works. I understand this is because "Analog" gets implemented, as the stick does feel better now, but then I can't use the D-Pad for menus

I had thought that by simply copying the files for the 8.0 V4 over, it was automatically fixing the Analog issue, but I guess not? that's something that Memoria fixes? though it disables my D-pad as mentioned.

3: Lastly, in the BGM looping problem already implemented with 8.0 V4? or do I need to replace those files myself? I have them, just wondering.

Great Work! I really appreciate it!

I have a request to you Snouz:
Can you make a sharedassets2.assets file with Playstation Button layout? You only should change icon_atlas and screen_button_attlas inside the sharedassets2.assets file.
I would be very grateful if you could do that because I don't want to mess around with your awesome work and as far as I can tell you have already improved these Textures inside the sharedassets2.

Thanks a lot!

Hello folks, been following Moguri mod for years and it's now looking like the right time to finally try it out. I see now that we are at Version 8.0 Beta 5, with the full release coming very soon, but does anyone know what I can expect from the full release that won't be in this latest Beta build?

Just wondering if I should still hold out for 8.0 before my first PC play through or go ahead and download this latest update. Any help is appreciated.

You can easily do it yourself.

Since you already got that far, there's only one step left if you wanna do it yourself. AssetBundleExtractor can dump and import textures in PNG format. All you need is a very basic image editor, paste the PS Buttons on Snouz's edited icon_atlas and screen_button_atlas and import those images back.

Usage of AssetBundleExtractor is described in more detail in the Tweaked menu portraits thread, here (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19964.0).

What's a good way to play the new video files? I tried vlc player but the playback is not smooth.

The game definitely has some issues with controllers. I've played with two different controllers. One of them has no cooldown on button presses, so not only does the pause menu exit immediately, it's very hard to make selections in any menus e.g. when selecting attack, the first enemy is selected from the same button press. The other controller has weird mapping. The left joystick cannot be used for movement. Movement uses the d-pad. Start button is mapped to one of the rb's... 

I agree with switch a/b by default.

Hello, thanks for the help man, works like a charm :)

I am so grateful to see people put so much effort into perfecting this game, it's amazing !!
I thought I would contribute as well. Using paint.net and the resources provided, I have applied PS buttons to both icon atlas and screen atlas.
Sadly I can't do much more than cutting and pasting so I didn't replace the trigger buttons as those were not replaced in the resources.
Here is the result :

I also need a bit of assistance if you guys don't mind :)
Using the scaled battle UI configurator just breaks the controls for me. Any idea what I can to solve this ?
Thanks a lot.

And Snouz, your work is incredible THANK YOU !!

I could definitely do it myself, at least for the cross, circle, square & triangle Button. But I think many many other people want that too, so I hope this could be implemented als an option with the installer when the update 8.0 is ready.
Not everybody might want to do it by themeselfe or is at least able to do it (even it is just copy paste with some png editing).
Furthermore with some more skill I hope Snouz could make some good L1, L2, R1 & R2 button layouts to make this a more seamless experience  ;D

If you have more info to contribute, go ahead. I could not reproduce the problem on both xbox controllers. The nexus ticket talks about a PS4 controller, is this your case?

@Doom Oyster about the pause cooldown, did you install JUST the beta? with the included latest memoria? The double pause issue is something I experienced a lot with the base game and should be fixed by the latest memoria version.

BTW about controller layout, does it display playstation icons when playing with a ps controller? What does it show?
Also, when talking about controller, please tell your model : )

I have a 8bitdo SN30 Pro +, it's listed as a Xinput device, so it's basically an Xbox Controller.
It's working everywhere else.

Anything I can try?

Edit: As stated by another user,  by going in to Steam Big Picture mode > Controller and disabling Xbox Configuration Support the dpad starts working. However it's not a very good workaround since I use that setting in other steam games.

Never ending problems I guess :P

While I have your attention, I noticed that with both the Vanilla game and with 8.0 V4 at least, some text auto scrolls. Like when I am in the "I want to be your canary" play, the text auto scrolls and very fast too, can't even read it in time.
When I replace the Assembly-CSharp.dll (which I was lead to believe was supposed to fix the BGM loop) it actually stops the auto scroll of text (but i'm not sure what replacing this file messes with)
YET when I try the official BGM loops fix, which also includes a Assembly-CSharp.dll file.... the text goes back to auto scrolling.

Are you, or anyone else able to shed any light on this? I'm still rather new to all this and really have no idea what i'm doing lol.
What im hoping for out of an experience for my wife and I playing through are:

1: The crisp backgrounds
2: Widescreen support without the weird analog problem i've had recently
3: BGM loop fix
4: (optional) UI that doesn't take up 40% of the screen..though i've almost given up on this...

To me that's a perfect experience :P

Wow the new FMVs and background scene transitions look stellar with this update.

I found an issue with the new FMVs when using the title menu movie replay menu.  When playing through the game normally the FMVs play perfectly (despite stopping a few frames early) but when replaying FMVs through the title menu option the scenes seem to play at less than half the speed while desyncing with audio.  Sometimes they work great, but randomly and very consistently it does this, with each replay (or even the initial selection of the scene) playing slower and slower. 

I have a lazily recorded and uploaded a link here to show what I mean (forgive me for the quality):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnCjr_cUo5Y&feature=youtu.be

First it plays perfectly and at 0:53 when I replay it just watch and see.  Just something I thought might want to be known prior to releasing Moguri 8.

Again I haven't encountered this during normal game play yet just while using the replay function in the title menu, but I'm only on disc 1 currently.  If I find any other issues I'll be certain to let you know!  Can't wait to see some of these scenes again with the new and improved quality, looks great so far!

The d-pad issue (which I've seen people comment may also affect shoulder buttons?) went away for me, when I configured the game's properties in Steam, disabling the Steam Overlay and forcing Per-Game Input Settings on. I also configured the input to rotate the overworld camera with the right stick, but that's just a personal preference.

It's normal that a lot of backgrounds are forced narrow screen, because they would appear glitchy on 16/9 with characters apprearing on bars etc. I personally created the list of excluded fields.

I’m wondering if anybody had the same problem as me: I am using a Nintendo Switch Pro controller which is normally supported by steam and works perfectly fine with the vanilla game and with the old Memoria that came with Moguri mod v7.
The latest version of Memoria however seems to completely break the controller. When I launch the game with the controller already plugged in the A button is spammed automatically and if I plug it only after loading into the game only the A button and the left analog stick seem to work.
I tried disabling the “analog” part of Memoria.ini but it didn’t do anything.
Is this a known issue? Can anyone suggest a fix?
If nothing solves it I’ll go back to the older Memoria and try to use only the new assets like we did until v5. Thanks a lot to whoever offers advice!

Thanks for your fantastic work !

My side, since I installed the BETA V5 over the regular Moguri download, the battle seems to be at speed 2 or 3 and I can't figure how to restore normal speed for battle even after wandering in Memoria.ini.... any advices ?

EDIT : Ok my problem seems to be solved ! In Memoria.ini I changed Battle FPS from 24 to 12 and it looks like original speed

The font Alexandria works great but again, after installing the BETA V5 the soundtracks from the regular Moguri doesn't work anymore, any idea about how to get them back ?

Thank you so much !

You're absolutely right each time the title video plays it gets slower each time.  This would explain why the post I made about playing the videos from the title menu won't play right, it's because the title video already engaged some sort of function that effects the frame rate on the FMV.  Whatever this function does to the original value it isn't always being reset after the previous video finishes playing.  I'm curious if you skipped an FMV during normal gameplay if the next FMV to play in the story would be effected if you didn't restart your game, load a new file, or go back to the title menu.

Either way this actually does seem to effect normal gameplay during the end of the game. After the FMV where the Hilda Guarde leaves Zidane at the Iifa tree.  This problem slows down the already odd video where Zidane runs on the vines.  You can see what I encountered here:

https://youtu.be/s5B2PAPXVRY

Again excuse my lazy uploading with 0 editing off of my phone, but the timing is off which causes his character model to not know what to do/where to be.

After this happens the final FMV where Garnet and Zidane embrace plays at normal speed, but whatever value, that I'm referring to earlier in this post, never gets reset and this effects the final credits in the same way as the vine video and it's slowed down as well.  This can be seen here:

https://youtu.be/rDfJL4kWELY

Now I may be making assumptions as I've never seen the code for this, but that seems to be the case from what I can see.  I'll try to see if I can induce this fault during normal gameplay in different ways.  Sorry for the lengthy post!

Hello,

Can someone explain to me how the loop fix works, please ?
By that I mean what does each file it replaces actually does.

The reason I am asking this is that both assets file of the loop fix are also overriden by the beta so I am guessing the loop fix might create a conflict.
As for assemblyCShard.dll whenever I replace it, it breaks the controls. Like Djidane moves on his own on the world map.
I have only replaced files that I am sure were not conflicting with the rest however this doesn't fix the Reflect SFX.

Assuming that it's where that fix is made, I wonder if there is a way for me to decompile the assemblyCSharp.dll, make the required modifications and recompile it.
Thanks a lot for the help :)

Hello,

Can someone explain to me how the loop fix works, please ?
By that I mean what does each file it replaces actually does.

The reason I am asking this is that both assets file of the loop fix are also overriden by the beta so I am guessing the loop fix might create a conflict.
As for assemblyCShard.dll whenever I replace it, it breaks the controls. Like Djidane moves on his own on the world map.
I have only replaced files that I am sure were not conflicting with the rest however this doesn't fix the Reflect SFX.

Assuming that it's where that fix is made, I wonder if there is a way for me to decompile the assemblyCSharp.dll, make the required modifications and recompile it.
Thanks a lot for the help :)

AssemblyCSharp.dll is the most essential file, it should never be replaced. But the source for it in memoria's case is open: https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria
If you have fixes to contribute, go ahead!

Thanks Snouz, actually if I can I'll gladly do so :)
Could you provide me with the source code of the AssemblyCSharp.dll that was used in the sound fix, please ? This way I'll likely be able to identify where the fix was applied and apply it to the code that is used in memoria. If not I'll try with JustDecompile

In this topic, a way to edit the AssemblyCSharp.dll was described:

1) Download the tool dnSpy,
2) Open the Assembly-CSharp.dll using that tool,
3) Search for the class you want and its method, then right-click -> Edit Method
4) Save your new file.

Little question: does anyone know, with Moguri 8.0.1 applied, how many of the bugs found in these two videos are still in the game?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-g9yVk28GQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymWiUiCuj6o

There are 24 bugs plus two minor bugs found on Steam Vanilla.

To Snouz: did anybody contact you to improve the widescreen feature? I saw your post on GitHub: https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/issues/115

I am using a Nintendo Switch Pro controller which is normally supported by steam and works perfectly fine with the vanilla game and with the old Memoria that came with Moguri mod v7.
The latest version of Memoria however seems to completely break the controller. When I launch the game with the controller already plugged in the A button is spammed automatically and if I plug it only after loading into the game only the A button and the left analog stick seem to work.
I tried disabling the “analog” part of Memoria.ini but it didn’t do anything.
Is this a known issue? Can anyone suggest a fix?
If nothing solves it I’ll go back to the older Memoria and try to use only the new assets like we did until v5. Thanks a lot to whoever offers advice!

I use the switch controller in everything I play. The best work around for all your issues is to get a paid program called reWASD. It makes your PC think a Xbox360 controller is plugged in and you will never have to touch anything ever again. After configuring things for months because I like the switch controller so much...this program was such a stress saver.

I installed 8.0 and unchecked "Use custom font (PSX)", but I got the PS1 font anyway.
I had to make it "UseGarnetFont=0" in the Memoria file which fixed it.

Idk if anyone else is having this issue, but the installer may not adjust for it.

Thanks for the mod. :)

I did have no PSX font in 7, then I uninstalled FF9 via Steam and deleted everything in the folder. I didn't uninstall via a Moguri .exe so I don't know if that was a proper uninstall.

So I did a fresh installation of FF9, then a fresh installation of Moguri 8.0.

If no one else has this issue, then it's not a big deal as it's an easy fix.

I actually had this issue too, using the fresh new installer of Moguri uploaded today. I unchecked the font in the installer but got it anyway. Thank you for the heads up on the .ini config change. I had no other instance of Moguri installed prior, either.

Can confirm issues with the checkbox in the installer: Disabled everything, got everything. GarnetFont must be turned to 0 manually from the ini, same as widescreen.
There's also a MovieFPS = 15 line in the ini, but it's probably harmless. Movie FPS are determined for each fmv dynamically.

Also I'm afraid to say that your field fixes are missing, Snouz: I checked both Desert Palace (the doors) and Crystal World.

PSA: For the time being, grab resources.assets p0data7 from Snouz's beta 5 to fix the fields.

Noticed that some fmvs are out of sync. (Might be my fault as I put the fmv to 30fps in the ini)
Also the continue button on the title screen just loads your latest autosave, not your actual last hard save.
Loving this mod so far! Great work and keep it up!

Can also confirm the layering fix you did in the crystal world that was from the original PSX version is not in the official moguri 8 release.

Also FMV's are ending too early for all of them.  Most apparent in the credits and the "THE END" screen locks the image from the credits.  Can be viewed here:

https://imgur.com/U9rpwOq

Also can definitely confirm that the Necron final battle music is messed up when you select the alternate soundtrack with Moguri 8 as it worked fine with the original soundtrack when I was using your V5 beta.  Not exactly a concern for this thread, but just so it's known I suppose.

Has anyone else noticed the new improved FMVs all being cut a little short?

Also, launcher seems to launch twice, adding a parameter from steam?

Did you install Memoria before using Moguri? If so, your Memoria.ini file was not overwritten, and this setting stayed the same.
EDIT: Oh you mean in BETA 5? ah yes forgot about that. Fortunately, the final version is out and installs it correctly.

I installed ff9 (clean install)> then memoria, and on top of moguri v5.
since memoria was newer, I did not overwrite .dll

I also launched both options, and the new memoria, and the one that was with moguri, your version worked correctly, but the new memoria, with a texture problem, until I added TileSize = 64 to ini

I have a problem with 8.0.1
During installation, disabled the orchestra soundtrack option. As a result, there is no music in the game. Reinstalled with the option, the music appeared. But psx music does not work. In Moguri 7 everything worked.
And one more question, what does the (battle field enhancements) option change?

Translation should include a file called p0data7, you need to replace that file in the \Program Files\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets folder, and not the game folder.

Is MusicVolume = 100 in Memoria.ini?
Battlefields enhancements upscales battle textures in the background.

Hey, snouz. The Install page on your site lists the following requirements:

Quote
Official Steam release of the game
11Go on C:/ (for extraction) + 11Go on install disk
Note: you can install on top of a previous version
If you have a problem with permissions, launch with administrator rights

What is 11Go, exactly? This isn't mentioned anywhere (or, if it is, I completely missed it).

Yes, the framerate for battles is adjustable. They have it set to 24 by default I believe--I changed it to 20 so it's a multiple of my monitor's refresh rate and it slows it down just a tick but looks way smoother than the standard 15fps (?) I think the vanilla game runs the battles at.

I feel you on this one. It's one of the main things stopping me from doing a proper play through. There is a battle scale UI mod out there but for the life of me I can't get it working with Moguri in any version or even the vanilla game. It's especially annoying because they patched the Ps4 version Battle UI but just left the phone crap on this version.
If we could just get the battle scale UI mod officially merged with this one, we'd have a perfect overhaul of the game here.

I've also known about and had difficult times getting that mod to work. I've brought up my issues on the Steam page tutorial and the nexus comments. The author has only responded to me a couple times about a year or so ago. I've just recently posted some pics of my issues and haven't heard anything. The battle UI is truly the last and only thing keeping me from playing my favorite FF. A full playthrough that I've been wanting to do since they ported it to PC haha.

I've been playing this a bunch these past couple weeks using the v3 beta install, and checked for an update just in time to see the full release so I updated over top of the install I had.

Unfortunately it popped up some error of file issues, which I didn't get a screencap of, so I uninstalled the mod and tried again, getting this error during installation:

funny you should mention that, i argued with zepilot a few years ago on steam forums about this, i NEVER got it to work on anything but a C: drive, (installer doesnt detect the game, so had to type the path of the game, and even when you did that it just didnt work)

i never did get it to work on my desktop pc (the C drive was small and too close to full)

Just letting everyone know that TehMighty just released an update to his Scaled Battle UI mod to work with Moguri 8. I'm happy to report this update installed first time with know issues. He has also implemented a feature that let's the user move the UI in battle to a custom position to eliminate issues at different resolutions. Simply press "U" while in battle to move the right side. Press "U" again to move the left side.

I did this and it worked. I closed my game, restarted and the positions were saved. Finally this UI is fixed and we can enjoy a beautiful FFIX with the original battle UI!! Happy freaking day!

funny you should mention that, i argued with zepilot a few years ago on steam forums about this, i NEVER got it to work on anything but a C: drive, (installer doesnt detect the game, so had to type the path of the game, and even when you did that it just didnt work)
Took me a number of bug reports to nail the bug to that, since people's description of a problem is often lacking in details and loose in precision, but now with the bug pinpointed, zePilot will hopefully be able to correct it. You confirm that it's the GAME that needs to be installed on C:/ ? there's no problem when the MOD is installed elsewhere, correct?

I forgot to say you have to press "U" a third time to end the movement process and get back to in game control.

i actually have no idea, this was an older version close to the beginning i think

i know i've always installed moguri inside in the FFIX root folder to keep both it and the game together

but honestly to this day and even though i've never had issues with it on this pc i have my steam library set up so that every game except FFIX is installed on another drive
but keep the C: library available to install FFIX and moguri in default locations... i consider it just mandatory OS space now, to install Win10 on my machine i need a minimum of 30GB for windows + 20GB for FFIX and moguri on a C: drive or no deal

I tried to use the Scaled Battle UI mod, but with Moguri 8 Beta V5, and it seems to cause some issues....

Can anyone confirm whether the battle UI mod only works with the 8.0 release? That would be a bummer if that's the case, since it looks like the game HAS to be install on C: with that version of Moguri.

As this was always the case, at least for me, I needed to download the optional manual files and do what is written in the read me (it's really easy).

And I can confirm that it works. :)

couldnt get the Scaled UI installer to work on 2 different rigs. Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. it creates a Memoria.ini file and does nothing. cycles for a few seconds. even with all safe guards disabled. tried compatibility modes. nothing. there is a manual option but the part about editing the INI is confusing. : (

The ini should be something like that:

Under [Graphics], add
ScaledBattleUI = 1

[System]
Enabled=1
StreamingAssets="C:\Program Files\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets"


Then put tehmightyassets in C:\Program Files\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets and run the patcher from the game directory.


But that's be nice for him to describe the install problems you had with the non-manual version: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy9/mods/11?tab=bugs

It would be awesome if you could merge this battle UI mod into your installer either for 8.0 or for the future 8.1. This, combined with the option to have Alternate Fantasy included would make this mod truly the ultimate experience! :O

Asked him about it, he does not wish to do so for now, so that's up to him.

In practice, that wouldn't be so hard, his stuff is based on Memoria, so that would just be a pull request and it would be an option in Memoria.ini to tick.

For Alternate Fantasy, that's a bit different, zePilot does not wish to include it as it's too different from the original experience. I'm in comm with Tirlititi though, and he's preparing a compatible version when he's got time.

Also, you should not have any issue if: you have your game on C:/ and launch the mod as administrator.

Yeah, I have both the game and the mod installed on C:/ and I run the installer in administrator and I'm still getting an error.

Just deleted my FFIX completely and started over, hoping to get the scaled battle ui working, but I'm seeing issues after installing the official 8.0.1 version.

So I reinstalled FFIX from Steam completely first, then ran Moguri installer and booted the game.

Something is messing up Zidanes text boxes though, I can't remember him saying this :)

It's better to start over, there was a lot of improvement in save handling in the last year on Memoria. You're really at the beginning of the game though. Please report back if that solved the issue; the other person did not let me know if that was the issue.

Yeah, I know, I'll start over then.
You think there will be any more changes to save files in the near future?
If so I might hold off a while longer before diving in.

Hey, snouz. The Install page on your site lists the following requirements:

Quote
Official Steam release of the game
11Go on C:/ (for extraction) + 11Go on install disk
Note: you can install on top of a previous version
If you have a problem with permissions, launch with administrator rights

What is 11Go, exactly? This isn't mentioned anywhere (or, if it is, I completely missed it).

Any information you can provide on this? A lot of people were messaging so I completely understand this getting overlooked. :)

Hello. I want to talk about a bug that is annoying to me and preventing me to play the pc version of this game (and also this beautiful mod). I know it's just a minor glitch but for me it's ruining the experience. This glitch is about the "ambience sounds" that you can hear in the background, for example the owl sounds in the evil forest, or the crowd sounds in Alexandria at the start of the game. The problem is that these sounds loop at every screen change. You can easily hear it in the evil forest, it always start with the same sound. In the psx version, these sounds continue between each screens. I hope I can make myself understood (I'm not English (french)).
No one is talking (or even seems to be aware of) about this glitch so I wanted to create an account just so it could maybe be fixed in the future.
Thanks and congratulation for the creator of this marvelous mod.

Hello! Please answer, is it possible to disable scaling through the game settings?
The fact is that I have a 16:10 monitor and with the original resolution the wide format does not work in any way. Therefore, you have to play with a lower resolution of 16: 9, but in full screen mode, the game scales. You cannot turn off scaling through the video adapter. I would like to do this through the game settings, if possible?

Thought about it, there may be a way: right click on your desktop, display options, and set a 16:9 resolution to your monitor. Tell me if that worked !

I probably asked a little wrong question.
I would like the game to work in the given resolution, but not expand to full screen. You can play in windowed mode, but it’s not very, but in full-screen mode, the game is stretched.
Here is a picture, I want it to work like that.

I'm not sure what you want. Memoria's widescreen has been tested with 16/9, so if you want to use that in full screen without scaling, you should be able to set a smaller resolution in windows and it should add black bars on the side. I don't have any other solution for your specific request, and don't own a 16/10 monitor to test.

If you have an Nvidia GPU, go to Nvidia Control Panel and go to this tab:

Check the last option, in english it should be "no scaling". Also change the "scaling with" option to "GPU".

Thanks! I solved the problem like that, in the settings I registered a non-standard resolution of 1680x945, bypassing the launcher, the maximum width for my monitor and reduced in height to get (16/9). Everything works fine and does not scale.

Hi everyone! I have a problem with the new scaled ui mod. I read about the compatibility with moguri, so I tought to install it. After a failed first try, the second one was good and now my ui is scaled correctly. Problem is, Moguri mod seems to be completely broken. No more full screen battle, no more wonderfull backgrounds and so on. So I decided to restart everything over, I've unistalled everything and reinstalled Moguri mod from the beginning like first time I did a week ago without scaled ui. Ok, now UI is not scaled anymore, and Moguri doesn't work. No widescreeen no background, the only hint that it's installed came from launcher and from start menu which is enhanced. I've unistalled ffix from steam now twice and reinstalled moguri over it AFTER removing every file with moguri exe. After deleting all content from ffix folder which were not removed from unistalling, I've put everything back and my game is working correctly. Point is, scaled ui removed any graphical enhancement from moguri and change even launcher with the one from memoria mod.

Honestly I don't know all of them, I think Albeoris should comment these better in Memoria's documentation. In the next version, I'd like to have a more verbose Memoria.ini.

I probably asked a little wrong question.
I would like the game to work in the given resolution, but not expand to full screen. You can play in windowed mode, but it’s not very, but in full-screen mode, the game is stretched.
Here is a picture, I want it to work like that.
https://imgur.com/a/uv82Z3T

And yet, I forgot, my monitor does not support 1600x900 mode.

I think you're having the same issue I am having, even though I select 1920x1080 it does not output in that resolution, I wonder if its to do with windows scaling.

Can't seem to edit my post.

I can confirm that if you use windows scaling it breaks all the resolutions by the scale amount because it assumes you're scaling all monitors, which isn't always the case...

Also the screen selection dropdown doesn't work properly.

Had the checksum issue too, managed to fix it by NOT installing 30fps FMVs.

error:

Sorry for bad cropping.

Was there anything else you did? Because aside from the first install I've also not been installing the 30fps FMVs but still having a problem. (Or the extra music, though that was the case for every install.)

Hello. I want to talk about a bug that is annoying to me and preventing me to play the pc version of this game (and also this beautiful mod). I know it's just a minor glitch but for me it's ruining the experience. This glitch is about the "ambience sounds" that you can hear in the background, for example the owl sounds in the evil forest, or the crowd sounds in Alexandria at the start of the game. The problem is that these sounds loop at every screen change. You can easily hear it in the evil forest, it always start with the same sound. In the psx version, these sounds continue between each screens. I hope I can make myself understood (I'm not English (french)).
No one is talking (or even seems to be aware of) about this glitch so I wanted to create an account just so it could maybe be fixed in the future.
Thanks and congratulation for the creator of this marvelous mod.

I've the same problem :( I don't want to play this game until there is a solution...I want the complete FFIX experience lol

Please, any help?

Hi,

No extra music, no 30FPS FMV, and I disabled the 3 options on the next screen (fonts, cheats and I can't remember the last one)
Note that I was using beta 3-4 without any issue.

i finally got around to installing moguri 8.0.0.0.1 that i downloaded (on top of a very old version of moguri), the install was successful and it applied the music and a few other things, but graphically the game was still vanilla, kinda strange

beta 5 worked like a charm

i see there is a newer version now, maybe i'll try that

So i just installed Mog mod 8.0.1, before that i had only the Memoria Mod and i modified the stealScript so I can steal with 100% accuracy all the time, but after installing the moguri mod i'm back to normal when i Steal, I guess mog only get some features from Memoria and doesn't look at the scripts? because i can only make the script work without the mog mod, i've tried to install everything like 5 times in diferent order but the result is still the same If i use Memoria Patch, Mog graphics won't work but the script does and if i install mog, the script stop working. I don't know if it's normal or not but tbh i hate the Stealing system in this game but if i can only make one work i'll go with mog and ignore stealing i guess

(i only put like 6 lines in the script if this helps)

Add the steal script to .../StreamingAssets/Scripts/Sources/Battle/ and than run the Memoria.Compiler.exe under .../Scripts/Compiler/
This worked fine for me.

I've no problems at all. The game runs almost perfect for me with the Moguri Mod! Thanks a lot to all involved individuals  8-)
Here is what I did:
1. made a clean install of FF IX from steam (I play the German Version)
2. Run the Game once
3. Install Moguri 8.0.1 (2020-05-26) from the mogul mod website into the FF IX Game Folder
   I've unchecked the Orchestral music because it don't loop correctly and the Garnet Font (I prefere the new one)
4. Run the Game once
5. Build my own custom sharedassets2.assets to have PSX Controller Button layout
6. check the Memoria.ini and do settings as I prefere
7. Add the 0058_StealScript.cs in the folder (.../StreamingAssets/Scripts/Sources/Battle/) and run the Memoria.Compiler.exe
8. All worked for me as intended and it is awesome (except for the known issues)

KNOWN ISSUES:
- Orchestral music: additional tracks don't loop correctly and endgame music is bugged
- Battles are too fast by default: you can change that in Memoria.ini: BattleFPS = 15
- Some 30fps FMVs play too fast and sound sometimes desyncs. End title comes too fast.
- D-pad not recognized on some controllers (workaround: disable steam overlay and force Per-Game Input Settings on)


The only thing I wish is a cheat or mod to always win this **** Tetra Master Card Game... I down get it at all and I've tried a lot. This Card Game broke the game for me when I was young on the original PSX and I'm really struggling with this today. Thats no fun and the Memoria settings for Tetra Master don't help.

if anyone is playing this with a DS4 controller and has everything BUT the d-pad working
(this will likely work with other controllers as well, as long as the program detects your dpad properly)

here is a fix:   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sp4ASX5DqCAn8uSZKSy6aaNChiNbZ8nD/view?usp=sharing

its simply the newest version of joytokey with 1 config file packaged with it to make the d-pad convert to wsad
and also a settings file that makes it as fool-proof as possible

just extract the JoyToKey_en folder to your Documents folder, then with your controller plugged in, right click on JoyToKey.exe and click 'Run as administrator'
windows smartshield will come up (because its a program that can take control of your cursor and keyboard) so click 'more info' and then 'run anyway'

my avast antivirus doesnt flag it, but its best to either disable your antivirus temporarily or add JoyToKey.exe as an exception as well

but anyway, once you get the window to come up you're good to go  :wink:

you can also create a shortcut to JoyToKey.exe and place it in your startup folder to have it run when windows starts, it takes very little resources

after installing the mod the writing blocks that appear when the characters speak are of very poor quality and its necessarily comes from the mod because I had launched the game just before without the mod to make the difference before and after. can we solve this problem or should I uninstall the mod?

there is an option to use another font, you are probably using the blocky alexandria font

@benitobennet, replace the alexandria font in the memoria ini. the best type of font to use for me at least are system Bold / Medium Sans-Serif fonts. it makes the text legible enough to read and good for menus

Post by: takver on 2020-06-19 14:27:16
Supposedly, scaled UI mod is working now

I have the previous version of Moguri installed (V7) along with Snouz's Beta V5 files. Did a quick test of the lastest Scaled Battle UI mod build and I can confirm that it works far better than it did previously.

The only two minor issues that I now have with it are the following:

- When booting up the game with Scaled Battle UI mod for the first time, most of the Battle UI is offscreen. One needs to press the 'U' key on the keyboard to first adjust the battle selection menu on the left side of the screen, then it needs to be pressed again a second time to adjust the ATB UI on the right side of the screen. This is fine, but when pressing 'U' a small text appears at the top of the screen and can't be disabled no matter  how many time I press 'U' again. The only way to get rid of it is to exit and reboot the game.

- The second issue, and this is a minor one, is that it completely resets all of my settings in Memoria and sets Battle FPS to 24fps by default, meaning the user has to manually adjust each setting individually again the Memoria .ini file.

Other than the above two small issues. It appears to work perfectly so I'm sticking with it. If any issues come up during my playthrough, I'll post back here and in the Scaled Battle UI Steam thread.

As an aside, I really wish TehMighty would allow Snouz and ZePilOt to merge this mod into future releases of Moguri. It would be so much easier to iron out any bugs that way

This is for 32bit users out there.
I dont know what value this information has But for those who are interested hope it helps.
the moguri mod installer only works for the 64bit architecture. i used the beta on a 32 bit installation of the game and yes people like me exist.

i replayed the game from start to finish
so far the only bugs that i encounter is that you cant play the FMVs in the title screen but while playing the game all FMVs are functional aside from the occasional squished text if you want to skip it. 
all mods related to p0data* files are working as intended which includes the upscaled brackground, chacracter models ets. as for the sharedassets2.assets and resources.assets you just to extract and  move from the 64bit files using AssetsBundleExtractor  world_map_full , world_map_mist(forgot the full name) and face atlas.

I've made a fresh install of Windows10 on my Laptop. After running all Windows updates I've installed Steam and FF9 plus Moguri Mod 8.0.1 as explained previously. It worked without any problems with my DS4 connected via USB.

"FFS Square"?
You're acting like it's Square's fault or they deserve to be punished or criticized or something for updating their game, fixing bugs and whatnot. It's not their fault they don't support an unofficial fan mod. They should be applauded for actually caring about a port that came out years ago.

Anyway, I guess we should just wait until Moguri is compatible with this update.
For now, I deleted the game and reinstalled it vanilla.

It was frustration, because they changed the whole structure of files, which means our tools are now outdated. I won't just "wait until moguri is compatible", I'll have to find the way to make it compatible. Also, they release it without notice, which means it erased some files I was working on. Frustrated because V9 is almost done, and they had to wait 4 years to change minor things that were addressed in the mod or other mods.

Didn't we just get ff9 through xbox gamepass? IIRC that version had the battle UI resized as well, which is what has been patched with today's steam update. Other than that i completely understand the frustration though.

Out of curiosity, what tools are outdated? Memoria? HW?

They added 13 p0data files, and Hades Workshop only knows the old ones. Tirlititi told me to rename them to see what's inside though.

But who knows what they changed in AssemblyCSharp.dll. I'll need to do a comparison.

I just tried playing vanilla but I get the whole "ZidaneZidane" "ViviVivi" etc error, and my controller is completely borked and the controls don't make any sense. For example, left on the analog stick steers me right. Any idea how to fix this so I can play FF9 in the meantime? Did Moguri cause this?

this is caused by memoria, rather than moguri, moguri comes packaged with it and relies on it, it can be fixed with a save editor

and my controller is completely borked and the controls don't make any sense. For example, left on the analog stick steers me right. Any idea how to fix this so I can play FF9 in the meantime?

the controller config has been wonky with the pc port since day 1, to get everything right i have to use joy2key and map the buttons to keyboard equivalents

for some reason i have even MORE issues with ds4, it likes to move your character automatically when you boot the game sometimes

The best way to fix the double name entries is either playing a new game or renaming the characters in Daguerro. even memeria(the save editor and not the engine) cant really fix the problem.
as for the controllers well x360ce to remap the keys to match the psx controller based on their orientation of the keys in real life. Hower in my case the game's built in  controller mapping does match my controller . so i edited the files on my own.

I'd like point out the double name bug is caused by an OLD version of memoria, when uninstalling it. But the problem was fixed in Memoria and Moguri 8, so that means your save is from Moguri 7.0.1

first of all, thanks for the mod. I really feels like you'd deserve part of the money Square's got for the remastered, as they did just half the work they should.

Anyway, I've got an issue with ingame dialogues. Just as the game start a blue mark appears in the middle of the screen and it stays there also after it loads the game. It wouldn't be so annoying if not for the fact that it doesn't allow me to see any dialogue (no dialogue window pop up while speaking with npc, also if they act like they were talking).
I already tried reinstalling both the mod and the game and changing UI and FPS settings, with no results.

I bought the game last week for the illusion of playing with the Moguri Mod. It's sad.
I've been looking at the Git and the pull requests, and I've seen this one:

Done: Merge changes from the last update # 147 - An update was released recently. We need to transfer the fixes from it.

Could not release a version in the forum or some instruction to be able to compile it in VS2019 and install it?

I am satisfied with a style version 8.0.1 working on the latest update. The rest of the bugs (like endgame, etc) I don't care so much at the moment. Someone knows? Thank you very much for the good work on this project!

Not really any problem anymore. Still don't know why SE created some duplicate p0data files (thought it would be a problem, it's not), and if you're referring to the structure change in the mod, it's just that we used the new memoria feature by Tirlititi that allows us to add files in folders in the root directory, and it gains some clarity in install, allows for launcher options, easier updates, space gain...

That does not do that for me. Are you using Moguri alone?
That was a bug in a previous memoria version, so that's very odd, because the one in moguri 8.2 is up to date.

Thanks for all your hard work snouz, the mod looks great.

I ran into a couple of issues: First, if I tick the box to use the PSX font, it's using a different one to the one that's in the mod trailer which looks more faithful to the original game. How do I get the original font?

Second, I tried to install the scaled battle UI as I guess it isn't included, but after installing I only get the memoria launcher rather than yours, and after starting the game all the background environments are completely messed up.

it existed too in the previous version of memoria.. but its hard to replicate. i encountered it twice. it has something to do with pushing the built in game boosters when using a controller in battle.

First off - I'm so very impressed how quickly you guys turned around a fix. Well done.

Quote
I don't seem to doing any damage when entering a fight.

I'm having a similar issue. I previously had a fresh install + 8.0.1 + Scaled Battle UI

After the new update, I still have Scaled Battle UI files. I've read the home page and know it's not currently compatible; but not entirely sure how to uninstall them. I have all cheats from the Launcher disabled. The only non-zero [Cheats] in my .ini are SpeedFactor, Perspective, and Rotation. No [Hacks] are enabled. The only cheat I've (knowingly) used on this save/install is the speed enhancement.

I did notice the window says I'm in Chocobo's Dream World, even though I'm on the main map "Vube Desert". This persists through during and after a battle. This makes some sense, as my last save was immediately after getting the Reef ability. I have the same issue in a different save, though, where the window name is what I'd expect. Hope this is helpful. Happy to uninstall what I can; though I'm not sure if I'd lose my save files.

I know this is probably the hundredth time I've said this lol, but Snouz, thanks for all of the incredible work you've tirelessly dedicating to making this the best possible version of the game there is, and then some.

I really hope someone in the industry pays attention and that this pays off for you somewhere down the line. It would be well deserved!

A set of bugfixes by Tirlititi (reflect sound...)

Probably the game sees that there is sound, so it does not reproduce the sound of magic, instead of the sound of reflection, but there is no sound of reflection itself, or it is not heard at all. 44100Hrz

So now I'm kinda confused...

I deleted what I thought was the scaled battle UI mod and then replaced the files with the new hotfix as instructed and was presented with a slightly different new launcher which had an option for the scaled UI. However, the game wasn't booting up properly so I decided to do a clean install. Uninstalled the game and deleted the game directory and Moguri folder.

I then reinstalled everything as I had before after downloading the new version of Moguri which is meant to have the new hotfix built in. But when I launched the game I was still getting the old launcher before the hotfix. So I tried replacing the files again with the hotfix except this time nothing has changed and it's still the old launcher.

Hello...
Don't know if this tiny issue is worth fixing but I'm putting it out there (I've also submitted it as a "bug"): The sword slash sfx on Marcus/Blank/Baku/Steiner(enemy)'s attacks in all the ports are still incorrect (compare to PS1).

I've installed the new version and I'm curios about some of the cheat options that are turned on as default. Like "Speed Mode" and "No Random Battles" what exactly do they? Does "No Random Battles' mean that I wont have random encounters while traveling the world? Wouldnt that ruin the game since I wont really level up anymore? Or will I now see the enemies before the encounter starts?

stoked for the scaled battle ui and world map, i had neither last time i played through

also that "dagger can't concerntrate" typo in memoria.ini persisted for like 5 years, lmao,  thanks albeoris for fixing that!

both of those cheats have toggle keys, so you can turn them on when you want them, or keep them off and never turn them on at all

hi, I installed 8.2.1.2 recently, after having previously installed 8.0.1, I didn't play it with 8.0.1 but before starting my full playthrough I updated to the latest.

Everything worked great until I got to the evil forest when the ship is crashed. Suddenly my DS4 is not working, Dpad does nothing and buttons not responding.

I fixed that by turning DS4 Windows on, but then some buttons still don't work, Cross on the ds4 seems to be confirm and decline (I had changed the button to confirm in the in-game settings which worked fine until this point).

The steam overlay won't work anymore either.

I've restarted my computer, tried using a xbox pad, tried uninstall and reinstalling the mod multiple times but nothing is fixing this now. If I uninstall the mod completely my controller works fine on just the game - no mod.

No idea whats happening it was perfect for like two sessions.

Thanks for your work, any ideas on what could've happened?

Post by: Zaeri on 2020-08-22 22:49:29
Does anyone know any workaround for the d-pad/shoulders not working on a DS4?

So far, from scattered internet references I've tried:

1. Disabling every potential overlay (Steam, GeForce, Discord, etc) -- Result: No effect
2. Disabling Analog Support in the .ini file -- Result: Depends (see below), but typically no effect
3. Unplugging controller and plugging it in after the game has started -- Result: Game never detects controller unless it was plugged in before launch (so the controller doesn't work at all)
4. Enable DS4 support in Steam/use "forced on" in the per-game settings -- Result: If (and only if) I disable analog support in the .ini, this enables d-pad provided I rebind the d-pad to stick directions via steam controller configuration BUT the game double reads inputs from other buttons. If analog support is enabled this has no effect except the face buttons are scrambled to incorrect locations (e.g. X becomes Square, Circle becomes X etc). Technically the face button scramble happens if analog support is disabled too, but the double button read means it will read one version of the button immediately followed by the incorrect version.

Interestingly, even if I disable analog support in the .ini, the analog stick still works fine and absolutely nothing changes about the controller behavior.

E: It seems like the buttons are still slightly scrambled with steam controller stuff off. It swaps Square and Circle (X and B), enabling Steam support on will scramble them further. Interestingly, enabling vibration in the in-game config will also scramble the buttons to the steam support variant as opposed to the regular scramble for... some reason?

E: Further testing -- without Moguri installed I get the "walk left" issue, and the buttons are scrambled as if I had steam controller support on. Weirdly, the shoulder buttons don't work with vanilla, but the D-pad partially works. Left/Right are registered as up/down, and up/down seem functionless.

give that a try for the dpad, if it works (and it should) you can set the shoulder buttons to the keyboard equivalent yourself pretty easily

Hi people!

I need some testers!

for the last few days, I've been working on p0data2, the archive that contains battle textures. I need some people to test it to see if they see some bugs in there. Here's the file:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tUeokDxaGaE5ZusANjFWuq2cr5uxDRMr/view?usp=sharing

You can first download latest moguri 8.2.1.2 (https://sites.google.com/view/moguri-mod/install) and put this file in /MoguriFiles/StreamingAssets instead of the existing p0data2

What I improved since 8.0 and why the file is smaller than previous versions: (/!\ the following is technical and only for documentation purpose)

(https://i.imgur.com/ULEfjAu.png)

First line is the old texture structure, second is the final. I relalized the textures take way too much space, they are repeated and only a fraction is used on each. So I redirected some material files. An example: in this image, I took the door part, which is the only part relevant in image5, and put it in image0. Then I changed the .mat file so that it looks for image0 instead of 5. Then I can transform image5 to a 1x1 image to save space.
Took me several days, but it's done.
Animation textures need to stay the same size, that can be jarring, but I can't do anything.
This process allows me to see easily what texture is actually used or not, and make them more seemless.
Importing from different folders in different formats allowed me to remove the black artifacts around transparency (textures with transparency -> tiff DXT5 after passing through a photoshop script that diffused the border color and transforms to tiff). So 300 textures are compressed with DXT5, which is 2x heavier than DXT1.
I transformed 40 skies to be half the size, but uncompressed by DXT1 (so I have a smaller resolution, but no compression. Size of the image is divided by 4 but no compression makes it 8 times heavier, so in the end, I hit a good compromise). I realized that some textures have a border of unused texture (4 or 8 pixels usually), so I did a script to account for that on these skies.
Now also made a screenshot of all the fight scenes in the game to check if I had some mistakes, and I improved some textures to be more seamless using some photoshop tools.

In summary, I:
-removed the black artifacts around transparencies
-optimized the size of the archive
-made it easier for future modders
-made some textures seamless (most skies...)
-improved some black gradients
-corrected some animated textures
-removed compression on some textures

Now I need your help to point out where things could be improved, or if there are bugs I didn't catch!

Hi everyone, and thanks for giving us these wonderful upscaled backgrounds and patch fixes, snouz.

Sorry if this has already been answered. I wanted to ask if there's gonna be multilanguage versions of the backgrounds where the text has been translated (I don't remember if FFIX has any, FFVIII sure does), specifically the text that appears on the screen when you enter a new area (i.e. "Evil Forest" in italian is "Foresta del Male"). Or if it's at least possible to retain the vanilla text just for the area's names while everything else is upscaled.

Steam version has 6 languages for area names. They're all upscaled in Moguri 8.2.

Post by: daedrixx2 on 2020-08-28 02:13:48
Ah! Sorry, I haven't even downloaded the mod yet. I was basing my assumption on the fact that I've watched some playthroughs with Moguri on Youtube, and they were in full italian (checked some french streams too) except the area names, BUT they were using an outdated version of the mod, so maybe that's why.

Another question: I've found an Audio fix in the Audio section of the FFIX releases, that brings the original PSX sound fx to the PC version, but a lot of what it used to fix has already been patched by the last 8 August Steam update.
Since it has the reflex sound fx fix, is it compatible with the game's last version and Moguri's last version without breaking anything?

i've been testing p0tat02.bin  :-D  and everything looks great so far, the skies of battle match how great the skies of the fields are

i've found a different bug that is unrelated, during festival of the hunt the "participant leads with 30 points" dialogue box is placed over the timer, so you can only see the time in battle or in a menu

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/285894248988016640/748790646952689784/FF9_2020-08-28_01-05-18.png


edit: hopefully you dont mind some constructive criticism, i'm not a fan of the mountains in the world map

but so far IMO Moguri 8.2 is just as large of a leap forward from moguri 7 as moguri 7 was to the vanilla game, its THAT good... i'm mesmerized by the skies
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/285894248988016640/748818704107700314/FF9_2020-08-27_16-06-45.png

that's the only reason i bring up the mountains - (once again IMO) they are not on par with the rest of the mod

and still no battle-related glitches that i've noticed

i've been working hard at making the perfect reshade settings: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/285894248988016640/748826735637692416/FINAL_FANTASY_IX_-_Map__2950_Loc__945_Name__Chocobos_Forest_2020-08-28_03-40-19.mp4
little more tweaking and i'll edit this with the .ini

I would second the timer of the festival is blocked by the ingame leader dialogue. Also just noticed returning to the title screen does not skip logos. the logos will be skipped in initial load of the game however if your return to title screen in game... it wont.

I just watched a playthrough of a guy using the latest Moguri 8.2.1.2 and Alternate fantasy.
I noticed some visual bugs, and also black bars on each side of the screen on a lot of scenes (but maybe it's just a bug from the guy's setup?).

here is a link to the pictures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hJqYHAQa5C4Hf2hW8NKuqjo4PV2giC1u?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hJqYHAQa5C4Hf2hW8NKuqjo4PV2giC1u?usp=sharing)

maybe some  are just little graphic bug that don't need a proper fix, but just in case I included them.

Hey hi, I just checked the pictures... this is not moguri 8.2, but rather 7.xx, so an old-ass version I hadn't got my hands on yet lol
I corrected everything in these screenshots and much more since then : )
Who's the streamer? they need to be aware that they're playing a very outdated stuff, and to not advertise it as "8.2.1.2"!

It's Brad Ocasio on Youtube.
I sent him your last post to prevent people to think it's the latest Moguri.
Because the video description was:
"Welcome back Folks! It's been a little while but had to get a few things worked out with the latest Moguri Mod update released in the last few weeks but everything is working amazing again! "

Thank your for checking and also sorry about that :/

At the beginning of the last cinematic, the game automatically closes. The memoria file has the following message:
Obs.: I use Win10 64bits.

How fix it?

This is my first playthrough so I'm not sure if this is the last FMV, but I know I'm pretty sure I'm getting close to the end and the game is suddenly crashing at the end of this FMV

Haven't had any issues up until now. I've done a full clean re install of the game and mod.

when you reinstall you have to delete from steam library, then actually go delete the FINAL FANTASY IX folder, before you redownload it

you guys do that?

I told ya'll the issue is not only present on 32bit but also 64bit.

that being said the possible workarounds. If you have a back-up vanilla assembly-csharp.dll. swap that file with the file made by either memoria or moguri.
use ZePilot's hot file assmebly-csharp.dll file or the ones found in the latest version of moguri. also Believe it or not you can use for the 32bit folder/ version too. odly enough it works regardless of the architecture.
and lastly as already mentioned delete the mbg116 file

Now I need your help to point out where things could be improved, or if there are bugs I didn't catch!

when fighting black mages in gizamaluke's grotto, most of the battle effects were skewed or offset in some way

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/285894248988016640/750204114629165106/FINAL_FANTASY_IX_2020-08-31_22-54-29.mp4

in this video what i'm talking about is most visible toward the end, where the enemy black mage attacks quina, but you can also see it when zidane uses a potion and when the enemy black mage uses fire

edit: i subbed the original p0data2.bin back in and the offsets still happened, so idk what the cause is

2. install moguri mod.

3. download this http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19832.0  (is a post of SNOUZ)

4. overwrite the sharedassets2.assets of moguri mod with this (or the original)

5. the blue mark don´t appear now and you can use the menu.


If you have problems now with the battles (like me), the BTC are stop, then dissapear and you can do nothing in combat.

This is a problem of Assembly-CSharp, With this archive I have problems, I used the 8.0.1 version, but the backgrounds are broke, if I put original archive, the character is crazy, walk only, is impossible to play.

Please Snouz, fix these errors!!

got around to checking the official site, and see the offset issue was already fixed when i posted it... sorry about that, thought i had the newest version

but anyway, i installed 8.2.1.2 on top of 8.2.0.0. without uninstalling either the game or mod and to my surprise it worked, put the p0data2 that you posted back in and the offset is gone

made it through cleyra and i remember in the last moguri i played cleyra was just rife with bugs and glitches in the scrolling sky, with widescreen, and also some of the upscaled textures (bound to happen with all the flora)

and almost every bit of it has been fixed! went from being the least improved scenes to being the most improved, i felt the tears that undoubtedly fell during this overhaul, incredible work!


out of 100 gamers playing, 100 are impressed

orichalcon is quite impressed

the gargant trolley scrolling is a bit off, idk if the fog can be extended across the whole x-axis or not

edit: and the fog keeps the scrolling effect even after the party gets off the trolley and the background stops scrolling

i posted earlier that scaled battle ui was working with 8.2.1.2, i was wrong, it was working with 8.2.0.0 but not latest version after all, those two versions came out pretty close to each other i think and really threw me off... but anyway

adding an additional world map texture to my gripe list: the bulk of the deserts

the forests and look amazing, the grasslands look good, can see some tiling but i wouldnt expect all that to be fixed, but the desert just looks blurred/faded compared to the rest of the textures on the outer continent, just the way (to me) the mountains did on the mist continent


edit: here is a better screenshot of the differences in quality between features

the qu marsh and surrounding area looks freakin' sick!
by contrast the desert area almost looks unmodded


edit2: for me, the tinkling scene was messed up

Hello,
First of all, want to say that I'm really happy with this mod overall, amazing amount of work there for sure.
But there're some problems still present, mostly with sound. For example, airship sound is broken like in this random playthrough https://youtu.be/s-xD4RhoQzE?t=3755
I think I saw some discussions about it earlier, but it's not really clear what to do to fix it actually

Hi there. I've recently been using an earlier version of Moguri and everything worked just fine, but once I updated to the latest version, suddenly, no characters can inflict damage or take damage and when you target a character or enemy, the name boxes just seem to appear in random places on the screen. Any idea what could be causing this?

Hi all, new to FF9 modding and moguri, the amazing detail and work drew me to replaying my favorite ff again.

When I downloaded and installed 8.2.1.2, I am getting a lot of errors in the memoria.log file. I am not seeing widescreen backgrounds despite the widescreen checkbox being checked, and my resolution set to 1920x1080

I've attached a pastebin of my memoria.log file - https://pastebin.com/VGWNjfcG
Also, here is my memoria.ini and setttings.ini in case that is helpful - https://pastebin.com/CHNtGbi5 https://pastebin.com/Zk6eZbf3

Hello all,
This mod is amazing, i was waiting for this to play ff9 again, one of my favorite game ever.

I follow the mod since the beginning trying it sporadically. When i tried moguri 8.2 with my ff9 version (not updated to latest patch), this was obviously incompatible, no more screen dialogue and one annoying icon on the middle of the screen. Once update to the latest patch with clean install the mod works fine now.

However i still have annoying tearing in fullscreen. I don't know if this question has been answer here, it looks to be something more related to memoria engine, but honestly i haven't the patience to read the 28 pages. Not much info over internet also. Anyway, i tried everything related to vsync without success. I red somewhere is related to the way the game handle graphical settings, in fullscreen the game ignore settings from the graphics card driver, and there is no proper vsync option. In window mode the graphic option from amd driver (same for nvidia apparently) works fine, no more tearing. So i try program to remove border in window mode, like "Windowed Borderless Gaming" but the tearing appear again once the borders are removed.

Maybe someone here have a tip to make it works.

Thank you

I've been using Moguri Mod for about 2 months without issue.  I haven't played for about 2 weeks.  Today I tried to play and the menu for the FFIX Steam Launcher comes up at pre-boot instead of the Moguri Mod menu.  I checked in game and the mod isn't working anymore for some strange reason.  So I uninstalled Moguri Mod and reinstalled, but the issue remains unchanged.  Any help to get me back up and running again would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

After reinstalling both the game and Moguri Mod and manually copying the files into the game directory the mod works again.  However, there are black bars on the right and left sides of the screen.  Were those always there?  I know they are supposed to be there for the 4:3 screens, but I also have them on the widescreen rooms as well.  On the widescreen rooms there are black bars but they are narrower than the 4:3 rooms.  Are the black bars normal?  I really can't remember.  Is anyone still reading this forum?

I have a problem when using a Cheat Engine table with this mod.
And I really would like to play FFIX again wie EXP, Gil & ABP mutiplier and when playing the unmodded game i didn't have any problems using it.

But when playing it with the Moguri Mod (which is great btw  :) ) and I activate the script in the table it says "GetEventStatAOB not found".
Back in game when I try to go into the character menu it suddenly crashes. This only happens when having the Cheat Engine table active - so I guess it's something that happens between the game and the table.

Is this something that can be fixed?
Or will it be impossible because it's a problem with the CE table?

Whenever I install Moguri Mod, there's a dark blue bit of dialogue box in the centre of the screen.

In battle, the damage just 'cascades' up and down without disappearing and the ATB disappears.

When I use the Memoria Patcher, the graphics are scrambled.

Basically, it doesn't work. Any advice?

They say that the "dark blue bit of dialogue box in the centre of the screen" and "some strange UI behavior" appear when resolution is too high. They advise everyone to use 1440p or less:

I also encountered this bug. With installed Moguri Mod in any case the game crashes just after Zidane's farewell to the team, when we beat the final boss of the game. Worth uninstalling Moguri Mod and no problems. Not very critical, but unpleasant. Fix it is unclear how, and whether it is possible? Will this be fixed in the main version?

In general, a big bow to the authors Moguri Mod. Great job! I, as an old PSOne player was a pleasure to dive into this wonderful game. :wink:

This is my first playthrough so I'm not sure if this is the last FMV, but I know I'm pretty sure I'm getting close to the end and the game is suddenly crashing at the end of this FMV

Edit: That didn't change anything, but following this step from the known issues list did fix it.

"Still some rare crashes at the end. You can delete this file without consequence and it should work fine: \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\MoguriFiles\StreamingAssets\ma\mbg116.bytes"

After deleting that file the game got past that FMV just fine.

I just wanted to say thank you (since I didn't at all in my one post) so much for all the hard work on this. It looks soooo good. I enjoyed it so much. Def something to be VERY proud of. Mods like this and Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition are why I love modding so much :)

Anyone using this mod on a laptop with an iGPU? I'm curious if this would run on my iris 540. I eventually want to get a laptop with a dedicated GPU but I wonder if what I have now might work until then? Also, has there been any discussion with TehMighty and intergrading his UI mod with Moguri? I know he hasn't updated his in awhile but it's the only mod missing from a complete FFIX PC experience in my opinion.

Hi !

Is someone has already had my bug with moguri ? When it's installed (and work...) I have the same window than steam game, I just be asked to select my screen resolution and if i want the game windowed or not ... Moreover is it normal that the moguri application send  to the same window than the package windows ?
Last but no least, steam update my game if there is a bug with the game (each time I try moguri's mod...)

I'll try several times, i respect the top of this topic's advises etc. ... Moguri 8.2.1.0 ; windows 7 64 bits

Thanks for your answers, hope it could help !

the mod is not dead. the mod is rather already complete. the only thing that needs updating is essentially Memoria which is the primary engine that allows moguri to work. i would expect a new wave of mods as one of the upcomming features of memoria is to allow loading of assets without touching the sharedaassets file.

Exactly, I've seen some really nice new features and bugfixes on the Memoria GitHub page over the last few months, hope they'll make a big official release soon on the main Moguri website. Let's be patient.

hello there, first thank you so much for the mod, it really enhances everything.
I need help with some stutters that happen when I move. It doesn't make the game unplayable or anything but it's annoying. Do you have any tips to solve this? I checked in task manager, nothing is really at a peak resource consuming there.

Hello. I want to talk about a bug that is annoying to me and preventing me to play the pc version of this game (and also this beautiful mod). I know it's just a minor glitch but for me it's ruining the experience. This glitch is about the "ambience sounds" that you can hear in the background, for example the owl sounds in the evil forest, or the crowd sounds in Alexandria at the start of the game. The problem is that these sounds loop at every screen change. You can easily hear it in the evil forest, it always start with the same sound. In the psx version, these sounds continue between each screens. I hope I can make myself understood (I'm not English (french)).
No one is talking (or even seems to be aware of) about this glitch so I wanted to create an account just so it could maybe be fixed in the future.
Thanks and congratulation for the creator of this marvelous mod.

So, snouz does seem to be aware of this bug (see the ticket: https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/issues/140?) but it seems that there is very little attention for the ambient sound loop bug in the public discourse. No reviews seem to mention it, and also on other forums almost no mentions. I had to do some crazy googling to find Arcenstone's reply. Is there any chance this will ever be fixed? Because like Arcenstone, the bug it preventing me from enjoying/playing the game.

EDIT: for those wondering or finding this post through Google, this bug has been fixed as of version 2021.10.15 of Memoria. Instructions: "Running Memoria.Patcher.exe should update to the new version of Memoria (you will loose the Moguri launcher if you don't make a backup beforehand, but that's only aesthetic)."

Hello, I have a Question please...
I didn't really know where to ask this, and didn't want to send a Bug Report because it might not be a problem with the actual Mod... might be an issue with my Computer...
It's about the Cheats with the Moguri Mod... specifically the Permanent Trance Cheat... when I press F2 while in Game, (in a Battle,) it doesn't give me Trance but rather pulls up my Windows 10 Start Menu...
Is there a Setting in Windows 10 I can Deactivate to stop this from happening so that I can make the Cheat work??
Please and thank you for your help.

I installed Moguri on my Steam Deck install of FFIX and it works mostly well, but I can't get a custom font working. I installed a file (an otf) in Steam OS Desktop and I edited the Memoria.ini to reflect the font name like I did on my Windows install, but the game just loads the default font. Any suggestions?

Anyone else getting random crashes? I am currently doing auto leveling for the Marcus glitch and I keep crashing after a few hours. In my error notes it keeps saying the error below. Any help on what's causing it and how it can be fixed?

Hi!

I've tried to ear the achievement "The King of Rope", but I quit. So, I changed the memoria.ini "RopeJumpingIncrement=1" to "RopeJumpingIncrement=100" (and others numbers), but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone help me?

Another question: There is anyway to change my fps to 60?

Thanks so much!
Moguri Mod is insanely great!! Congrats!!

Sending through the bug report option as well.  I haven't been able to find a similar report.

When fighting Grand Dragons, if you have Auto-Reflect (or the spell version) and it kills itself with Thundaga, the game locks and the characters just bounce in their idol animations with no UI and never going to the experience screen.  Simple enough, but thought it was funny.  Just use coral rings.

a lot of your concerns guys are Memoria related and not Moguri .
Install the latest version of  memoria on top of moguri and yall be fine.
https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria (https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria)

just for added context
if your concerns are about the upscaled graphics ,upscaled fmvs, optional soundtrack then it is about memoria
but everything else like game tweaks/ cheats , 60fps , then it is about memoria the engine.

before i get the the meat of this post i would like to thank the devs for a lovely experience with final fantasy IX. its my favorite game and you all fixed the poop square threw on it.

now for the meat and potatoes

i just make a bug report using the google form, but wanted to post here as well as i know that sometimes those can be hard to read sometimes.

theres a crash at the very end of the game, 2 scenes after beating necron in the cutscene where dagger is leaning over looking all sad. then zidane walks to the lifa tree. the game just quits as the cutscene ends

i found a work around on the steam forums: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2714442841 and it does work.

heres the log and save i uploaded in the ticket.
log: https://pastebin.com/ruxYXGrY
save: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6ai4m3udtyurdsa/FFIX_save_EncryptedSavedData.7z/file
the autosave is in the cutscene that crashes when it ends, hope this helps
