[FF9 PC] Moguri Mod update 8.2 (LIVE ON OFFICIAL SITE)

It's a pity about the effects.

BTW how are made the backgrounds with animated objects? Are the animated objects gifs, movies or just lots of images that repeats?

It's images that repeat

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.
It's based on zePilot's scripts and workflow, with tweaks here and there.

So please keep quite.

Wow you must be a nice person to be around, really. Easily "disturbed" by lines and all... I'm sure there are better ways to point out about the lines.
As the other poster told you, submitting bug reports and being nice are not mutually exclusive things. You might want to work on that!

But hey, you do you pal.

If you really have to argue, please not here.

Hey there, I saw your post on reddit and will try to help betatesting with my playthrough.

In the early parts of the game I've found some leaves that look good but when you walk beneath them they look disturbing, there you go:

(Btw you did a really nice job, thank you!)

Thanks for explaining, Snouz. Luckily, those there are not much issues with the animated stuff.

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)

[snouz]

I released a new version of the battle backgrounds! still a lot to do, but I'll focus on bug fix on main backgrounds now.

Oh my, you're right, I replaced FFIX StreamingAssets files instead of Moguri's.

The errors I said are fixed with your files, sorry! I'll look for real bugs now. xD

[Pilda]

Thanks for the new version of battle backgrounds. I will check it.

I found a bug in normal background. Here it is.

I'm working on correcting all the skylines in the game, as this is something we're naturally looking at. Here are a few comparison sliders.

Unfortunately, I cannot see anything on the pages.

It is a great  news you started to work on it. I think there are most issues. Good work!

Anyone else having trouble installing all of these? I just get a blank black screen without sound after the initial credits

Just started playing FFIX for the first time in probably 10 years because of this mod, so first of all thank you!!!! It all looks PHENOMENAL so far and I can't wait to see how this progresses! 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. The title has this weird white glow box around it.

Haven't had any issues with snouz's files and Moguri installed on the Steam version of the game. How are you installing the files, and which (if any) other mods are you using?

[snouz]

Dammit. I guess the website stocks them in the cache or something. It works here.

Anyway, here's one I know works.

It looks absolutely fantastic. Good work.

Hello, I've found a very saturated shadow in Dali, did I install something wrong again or is it a bug?

I'm using a waifu2x render with full denoise for skies, as I think it's creating a nice depth. What's your opinion?

Ah I think I understand where I went wrong. Does everybody have this same shadow?

[DrakeDarkHunter]

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 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, the new clouds are a different type (they looked like Cirrus clouds and now they look like Cumulus clouds) 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.
