Releases / Re: [FF8PC-Steam] Project Eden - dramatically improved backgrounds (v1.0)
« on: 2017-01-15 20:40:48 »
Yes there are bugs/missing areas because Omzy used an automation tool to do all the fields and it didn't do everything 100%. It would be a waste of time to fix it up now since waifu upscale is superior and you would be better off using/making a new version.

Interesting to see the differences from the early trial demo version on the textures, I guess the Dollet buildings textures were made from photographs shot in Italy, makes sense considering Dollet is supposed to have similar architecture to Rome.

Yes Maki your auto-patcher didn't work for me on english steam windows 10, though I remember the first version you uploaded worked fine for me. No big deal since you can use the manual patching process.

Hmm not sure, you could try
1. Uninstalling and reinstalling outside of program file folder
2. Cleaning up any registry issues
3. Run in 7/8 compatibility mode
If shaders not loading is the issue, maybe it's not playing well with the intergrated gpu, why doesn't the 840m work? you have latest nvidia updates installed? tried reverting to an older nvidia update? isn't the non-geforce 1.2 patch meant for amd cards?
If nothing works you can just buy ff8 off steam during winter sale for dirt cheap

Great progress Halfer, has anyone delved into the world map chara.one file ? I think it contains geometry for ragnarok/garden/lunatic pandora/etc I also reversed these bytes and found possible beach animation data? Not sure, if anyone wants to have a look

Yes this works fine with Seed Reborn, it uses the same hashmap codes so if you already have that installed then you don't need the excel sheet, just replace the sy folder.

I like this tool shard but some sounds wasn't loading so I dl'ed all the sounds off youtube. I actually started adding to the description list ages ago but never got around to posting it, so here is the updated sound list I made.

Regarding the two world maps in the ps1 version, maybe one of them is for disc 4 during the time compression world map period? Can you actually see what the differences are? I'm curious

That wireframe picture is from the ps1 version, I used 3D ripper dx to capture it, can't get it to work with the pc version though, the pc version is just an earlier development build of the ps1 version which was the final build. Thats why there is only small differences, I noticed a lot of small areas on the world map with texture flickering above balamb towns door, parts of ragnarok, parts of mountains etc, which to me seems like mesh overlap, and then there are other areas like the grey path or the traintracks which has misaligned mesh/missing mesh altogether, need to see what the pc versions wireframe is like to be completely sure though.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Re: [FF8] .x battle fields
« on: 2015-02-16 11:33:06 »Okay, I liked to jump a bit for wmx.obj and what i found out is that this file is containing the sea quads of the world:
There seems to be a header starting with 20 19 01 00 , and nullifying every corresponding variables it gave the following results.
Here you can see how to sea is formed from big quads.
EDIT: Also worth to mention that I wasn't able to pass those empty blocks with ragnarok meaning that there is some sort of collision when land (or sea) is removed
That's interesting yagami light. I reversed a big chunk of bytes from that offset and it did very odd stuff following hard lock. Although the ff8.exe seemed to eat my CPU while it was freezed so I don't know what I did wrong
Also I would appreciate if MakiPL could say how you managed to hack that camera like that! Would really help a lot!
Those big quads are actually smaller quads combined see here
the engine seems to run slow if you modify even a small bit of the wmx file, I've had times when the vertex got moved high up in the sky and moving near it caused ragnarok to fly high up going crazy till you moved away, and reverse byting too much leads to ff8 not responding when you fly near the affected area, just something you have to be careful of.

Nice progress being made, Vehek posted some great info for wmset.obj and wmsetus.obj
in here for the world map if you haven't read it.
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13799.0
I think the majority of the world map geometry is all stored in the big file wmx.obj
Reverse bytes made this happen
Problem is the file is pretty big, and you have to ride the ragnarok around whole map the spot differences.
