Hi,
I wanted to ask if anyone knows a good way to approach what I'm trying to do, basically converting hi-res field and battle backgrounds so they will work in the old FF8 2000 version (the four disc PC one). FFnx now allows for texture replacements and I've had good luck with things like menus and text but I've had a bit of an issue with field and battle backgrounds...
As an example the first battle in the over-world on the grass plains:
I was looking at BattlefieldPack_v3-1 mod for the Steam version (tonberry mod) - this contains the folder structure: textures\a0\a0stg101\ then 3 files:
a0stg101_16.png, a0stg101_18.png and a0stg101_20.png
In the 2000 version the texture location for this battlefield is: textures\battle\ and it seems all 3 graphics are combined into one file: A0STG101.X-0_00.png
I've been able to get this to work by editing the hi-res graphics a0stg101_16.png, a0stg101_18.png and a0stg101_20.png so they are all in one file and called it A0STG101.X-0_00.png.
The problem with this is:
1. This takes a very long time.
2. I don't know all the names of the battle field files in the 2000 version (I would have to play through the whole game and dump the textures).
I wanted to know if there was a list somewhere with all the battle file names and if there was a better way of combining these files.
Thanks!
