Current Completed Mods
================ SeeD Reborn by MCINDUSTitle Screen, Game Menus, Character/GF Avatars, Text, Icons, Magazines, Controller ButtonsTo be done:Intro Sequence*, Minor Tutorial Screens - "Theme Packs"
Controller Buttons by MCINDUS (SeeD Reborn Dependent)
Replaces the B1, B2, B3, etc. In-Game Controller buttons with PSX/Xbox360 buttons.
HorizonPack by MCINDUSWorld Terrain, World Maps, Towns/Cities, Roads, Sky, World Effects, World Objects, Lunatic Pandora, Vehicles
Balamb Vehicle and Ragnarok Replacement (Crestian)To be done:Cities/Towns would look great if someone did some custom re-creations...
Project Eden by OmzyField BackgroundsTo be done:Fixes to certain textures that produce "black bars" and some tranparencies. Also needs some hash fixes. [Project AngelWing's hashmap is better]
Project Angelwing by FatedCourageGigapixel (or Waifu) Upscaled Field Backgrounds - has more 'smoothing' and less noise than Eden. Choose one or the other, but not both.
I suggest using AngelWing's hashmap and a mix of both mods files for optimal viewing.
Anyone who wants to try their hand at making custom backgrounds should contact myself or FatedCourage
BattleField Pack 1/3 Upscaled by MCINDUS, 2/3 Waifu2x'd by FatedCourageBattlefield Backgrounds (Complete)Full Replacements include - Balamb Plains, Green Forest (MCINDUS) Training Center (Zeeber), Comm Tower 2F (Shunsq)
To be done:The Waifu upscales are great for many areas, but for outdoors areas, the 'lines' it creates are bad. We need some help making these better.
Some animations don't currently work.
Also, we need help with the full replacements! If you are an artist, please contribute!
Tripod by MCINDUSTriple Triad Card Game - Cards, Game Text, Icons, Game Board, Backgrounds, Sprite AnimationsTo be done:Fix for 'You Lose' transparency, Implement better borders, Finish foreign versions
Rebirth Flame by FatedCourage, Magochocobo, Devina, Mortael, Yagami Light, CrestianPlayer Characters - Mago or Devina replacements with Weapons, SeeD Uniforms, Low/High Poly, Alternate Versions, etc.To be done:Minor character fixes
Project Hellfire by MCINDUSGF Summons (Complete) - Replacements and UpscalesReplacements Include - Ifrit, Shiva, Quezacotl, Brothers, Siren, Leviathan, Carbuncle, Cactuar
To be done:Some Waifu2x upscaled lines look better than the current mods, so the plan is to combine some parts of future Waifu upscales with the current ones.
Apocalypse by FatedCourageAll Bosses given a meticulous Waifu2x treatmentTo be done:Full Boss -replacement- textures would be nice!!! If every artist out there did one each, we would have a pack in no time!
Lunar Cry by MCINDUSAll Enemies Upscaled (Complete)To be done:Hashing fixes and custom enemy textures! Anyone want to try their hand?
====================
Additional Mods (HIGHLY RECCOMENDED)
Non-Tonberry dependent, but work incredibly well along with it! Some mods were created with these in mind.
FF8 UV Fix Patcher by Maki (Easy Patch by MCINDUS)
This mod fixes the bad UV's in the main overworld (WORKS BEST WITH HORIZONPACK)FF8 GeDoSaTo Config by MCINDUSUltra Resolutions (forced downsampling), Anti-Aliasing, AO, DoF, and Post Processing injection! It even has a version of SweetFX you can use with Tonberry!If you enable GeDoSaTo, you no longer have to turn off the Steam Overlay!
