Once we can insert the images into the Remaster, I'll be working on porting Project Angelwing v3!
Right now, we can't mod the backgrounds, world textures, or battlefields, so those mods are 'on hold' until we can -- BUT -- Maki's making amazing progress!

thanks , also let's not forget about the modded textures for the flaying garden , the lagurarock and all the textures of the world map , i bet they are compressed thousand times in the main.zzz , infact they can't be found anywere in the extracted archive

Hey rartart! I just want you to know that the patreon/donation setup is basically one way I can give people who are really devoted to the mods a way to be able to part of the creation of them.  They are essentially being a QA team for the mods! I give my patrons the mods for 2-3 days so that they can do QA and let me know if there are any issues before I publish them to the public, and in NO WAY is this a barrier to the mods themselves! They will NEVER be 'pay-only', and there will always be a way to install and use them without having to pay that is an official release!

ok , thanks for the clarification

Well, if you want high quality mods that are constantly being updated, then i see no problem with making it a support situation. Especially when it takes a lot of effort and a long time to work on things. It's either have a full-time job on top of other irl situations that don't give you much free time to work on such mods, or have a part-time/no job and be able to put out high quality mods more frequently. If you want things early, such as all of the finished mods, then help support.
But, after all the mods are completed and a decent amount of time has went by, then i personally feel it's okay to open it up with a free option to the public.
For now, support is needed as things are being worked on still.
A pre-made package will be created for a much easier setup, while having a "pretty cheap" fee to access and download. A simpler alternative, with not as much effort required. The Lunatic Pandora mod pack.
And for the free option, you'll have to download each mod separately while setting it all up by yourself, like how it was done before.

that's exactly what i said damn it , clearly is ok to get donations , but it doesn't men that people who can't donate should get a different treatment, after all just because i am not a modder it doesn't mean that i bite everything that i get told , i know that it doens't take money to create a mod , so is not like all of a sudden it must become a problem for those who can't donate , we aren't all made of money , also is not like sites like this one get created because people ask for them , but because the modders know they can make it , so it isn't like all of a sudden nothing can proceed without donation , and of course it won't kill you to treat those who don't donate the same way as those who donated something

Those who can't donate won't own the remaster because of its price. You can get better games for this money.

of course that's not the point , i said that those who don't donate shouldn't be left with their ass on the ground , that's all , again , clearly is positive for modders to get money , but it mustn't become a matter of donations only , i mean it always worked well without have to trow money on it , there's no need to ruin it , and just in case i will point it again , i am not implying that donations shouldn't occur at all of course , i only said that they mustun't become strictly necessary

that "patreon" thing is making me worry , of course is excellent for modders when they get donations , but i really hope that it won't gradually become only a matter of donations and about let all those who don't donate completely ignored and out of the sharing of mods , i mean , the mod for the modified face of squall for now is available only for those who donated something and who know when it will get shared with everyone else , essentially i am just asking to not reserve a different treatment to those that for various reasons can't donate

This legit is better looking than SE "remaster" they didnt even bother to really work on the over world... GJ mate!

exactly , and after listening to a small interview , here is one reason why they are so careless with their better game for this series: because according to them the "fantasy" genre should be about the fucking medieval period and the classic fairy tales , but that's quite the point about be creative and original, it is also about do something really fantasious , infact the good thing about final fantasy 8 is quite the fact that is show a world based on the classic fantasy genre ported in a futuristic time , i mean god fucking damn it , for final fantasy 9 they put real passion and interest for the steam version , while for this version they don't even care about make the game compatible with the 16:9 o.O , fuck , still , the modders here are making a better work even compared to the remastered version of final fantasy 9

splendid, the hair are ported from the model used for the cutscenes, but they are so well placed that they don't look like they are copy-pasted on it , everything look pretty natural :O

good good , as i remember the problem of the battle sfx were an objective since the first steam version, as for the 3d elements outside of the cities it is only a matter of wait for the moment when the location of those textures in this version get discovered , and about this , it is fucking irritating how they are hidden -.- in the .zzz archive

I'm giving MCindus feedback on the finalized version for Squall's FMV mod as progress is being made. It's at 97% or so completion. Just gotta make a few more tiny tweaks and it's officially done.
Sadly they cannot remodel the hair just yet (The hair color was changed though, to a more noticeable brown). But the rest is golden! Even the color of his clothing was improved!
Once Squall's finished and put out there for the public to enjoy, Rinoa's FMV mod will be the next one put on the to-do list. With Zell right after that. So look forward to it!
P.S. MCindus feels that Quistis, Selphie, and Irvine in that order have the best looking models of the group. So if anything, those 3 will get the smallest amount of improvements, if none at all.

thanks , do you know if macindus or somene else here is also working at the battle special visual effects ? you know: dust , various sparkings , and all those effects that even in the remastered are the same low-quality effects from the very first 2000 pc version :O  , with a permanent injection of those modified textures the game will be perfect , and what about the textures and models outside of the cities ? did anyone discovered were they are hidden in the remaster ?

Okay, so I am pretty decent at modding games and had no issues modding the old ffviii on steam. However, I have no clue what to do with this new tool zarchiver. I am reading the instructions and cannot for the life of me figure out what to do here. Can someone give more detailed instructions than are included in the readme please?

first of all use this .zzz unpacker here  http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19209.0 , forget about the other malfunctioning  useless unpacker , then if you have problems even with this i will tell you the little things i am able to do with it even if i am not a modder lol

is this for remastered now or in 2013 version?

for now it is only for the 2013 version , not the remastered, but don't worry , it is in everyone's interest to port it in the remastered version since the texture there can be injected directly in to the game

of course you are not the only one who noticed the luck of passion developers put in this remaster , i mean basically they took the pc version from the year 2000 and make it run trough an emulator in order to improve a little bit the quality of the images , and barely improved the quality of the models and for the icon , while for final fantasy 7 they are planning to recreate the entire world related , infact they said that to remake the whole final fantasy 7 it will take at least three games with the weight of 60gb o.O, why you may ask because the mother of the morons is always pregnant , final fantasy 7 is pure shit , it is filled with drama and painful stories, final fantasy 8 in comparsion is less dramatic and less sad , not to mention that unlike final fantasy 7 , final fantasy 8 don't praise the enemy ,on the contrary , it do exactly what is supposed to always happen , to praise the protagonsit you know ,so for all those reason the majority of the final fantasy players (that is composed by a bunch of fucking morons) prefer final fantasy 7 and trow shit at final fantasy 8 , well , the reasons why final fantasy 8 is the best game of this saga are quite the ones why those fucking idiots hate it, the point is that not all the fans of this game do all the noise that those idiots who like final fantasy 7 do , well they must do even more noise so developers won't have any fucking excuse to not create a decent remake for this game

I'd love to see the current status of Squall FMV face Mod 

yes it is a great idea , infact this is what all the remakes of a psx game should consist about: use as a playable model the one created for the cutscenes

File type is different. For the mod that came out , the mod uses .png the game also uses png. Not so for this mod the game does not use .png.

so this make it more complicate

@rartart

from what he posted l think it "completed" as in the modded resources is completed but no one can make it works in game yet. Its like in fan-translation project, you say the script for english patch is 100% translated but then you still have to hack the game to put all those 100% translated scripts in game.

that's strange because there are already two series of modded textures that are already usable , what's the difference in this case ?
