I can't seem to be able to use FFNx at the moment because of some weird "incompatibility" (i saved near Esthar in the World Map with the vanilla game, but when i load it with the latest Canary version of FFNx and this mod, it loads at the center of the map, in the ocean lol), i don't want to try again for now to check myself so i'm going to ask if these other things have been fixed...
- About the Horizon concert instruments, does it work like the latest version of RaW where only the two "correct" versions could be played in the Shumi Village or is it improved to play all possible combinations of instruments, including the wrong ones?
- In Balamb (the town, not the Garden) there are two areas (outside of the hotel, and the harbor) where two tracks play at the same time (this is intended): the Balamb theme, and another one that i cannot remember (i mean the actual name of the file, it's a "ambient" track with the sound of the ocean and seagulls or something). Anyway when you play a game of Triple Triad in one of these two areas, the "ambient" track keeps playing along with "Shuffle or Boogie", and when you leave Triple Triad, the Balamb theme stops playing until you leave the town.
ps: the link to the RaW thread should be removed as it's no more.
thanks a lot for your help
I have a problem with your second link
1- I downloaded these two files
FFNx-FF8Music-v1.3
FFNx-Steam-v1.7.2.0
2- I copy the "psf folder" from the "FFNx-FF8Music-v1.3" archive to the root of my steam games folder like this
(https://zupimages.net/up/20/35/cv3b.png) (https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=20/35/cv3b.png)
3- I edited the FFNx.cfg like thisCode: [Select]#use_external_music = yes
external_music_path = psf
external_music_ext = minipsf
winamp_in_plugin = psf/in_psf.dll
#winamp_out_plugin =

# COMMON OPTIONS FOR BOTH FF7 AND FF8
###############################################################################
#########################
## DISPLAY
#########################
#[RENDERING BACKEND]
# Available choices are:
# - OpenGL ( default )
# - Direct3D11 ( valid alternative for OpenGL)
# - Vulkan ( Tech Preview: Not Recommended )
# - Direct3D12 ( Tech Preview: Not Recommended )
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#renderer_backend = OpenGL
#[FULLSCREEN]
# If off, it will run in window mode.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#fullscreen = no
#[RESOLUTION]
# Resolution of the game.
# Default (value = 0):
# - Window mode will use 640x480
# - Fullscreen mode will use your desktop resolution
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#window_size_x = 0
#window_size_y = 0
#[INTERNAL RESOLUTION SCALE]
# The scale is in multiples of 640x480
# The scale factor is used to render internally at a larger size then the display, this will then be downscaled to the games current resolution
# This is required to avoid visual glitches that may happen when the game is not rendered in a 4:3 aspect ratio
# Default = 4
# NOTE: Scaling starts always from 2. If you set a lower number, this will be automatically reset to 2.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#internal_resolution_scale = 4
#[PRESERVE ASPECT]
# Preserve original game aspect ratio of (4:3) by adding black bars on the left and right side (if needed)
# When off the game will be stretched to fit the window's aspect ratio; Be aware the game may look wrong though.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#preserve_aspect = yes
#[ENABLE VSYNC]
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#enable_vsync = yes
#[REFRESH RATE]
# Screen refresh rate.
# Default is 0 = use current screen refresh rate
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#refresh_rate = 0
#[LINEAR FILTERING]
# Allow the usage of linear filtering for textures.
# Please note: some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail.
# This option only affects low-res textures, high-res replacements will still be filtered where appropriate.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#linear_filter = no
#[ANTIALIASING]
# Enable antialiasing filtering, this is done in the last pass when downsampling from the current supersampled rendering ( based on internal_resolution_scale logic )
# Available choices are:
# - 0: Disabled ( Default )
# - 2: 2x
# - 4: 4x
# - 8: 8x
# - 16: 16x
# If you set any value that is different than those, it will pick the higher option ( eg. if you pick 6 it will be 8, if you pick 1 it will be 2, and so on ).
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#enable_antialiasing = 0
#[ANISOTROPIC]
# Enable anisotropic filtering, for high-res textures and overall rendering

# AUDIO
#########################
#[USE EXTERNAL MUSIC]
# This flag will enable/disable the support of an enhanced music layer to reproduce music in-game.
# If you leave out the default configuration
# FFNx will autodetect your environment and will set it to the best available option.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#use_external_music = no
#[EXTERNAL MUSIC PATH]
# Path of the external music files
# Will try to load from this path before using the default for your Version of the game

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#external_music_ext = ogg
#[EXTERNAL WINAMP PLUGIN SUPPORT]
# These flags will allow you to make use of compatible in_* and out_* DLL plugins you were used to load on Winamp itself.
# Through these flags you can for example decide to use an input plugin to play something FFNx never though about ( like MINIPSF files )
# and output the sound data to your custom plugin which may add custom reverb and much more.
# By default winamp_in_plugin will use the built-in VGMStream layer.
# By default winamp_out_plugin will use the built-in output layer.

4- and I have copy the files from the archive "FFNx-Steam-v1.7.2.0" that I have modified in the same directory
(https://zupimages.net/up/20/35/fgvl.png) (https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=20/35/fgvl.png)
and I have that
(https://zupimages.net/up/20/35/s4b3.png) (https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=20/35/s4b3.png)
there is no sound modification in the game nor data extraction
use_external_music = yes
Sadly FFNx is not compatible with the remaster, so no :(No problem thanks man.
use_external_music = true
external_music_resume = true
external_music_sync = false
external_music_path = "psf"
external_music_ext = "minipsf"
he_bios_path = "psf/hebios.bin"
Hello,
First of all, thanks a million for everything you're doing and it's amazing to see that there are still dedicated people doing a better job than SE for FFVIII!
I have an issue with this mod: it plays every track two times with an offset of one or two tenths of a second between the two, for almost every music. I've tried to test different FFNx settings regarding the audio, but no luck so far.
Here are my current settings (only mentioning potentially relevant settings):Code: [Select]use_external_music = true
external_music_resume = true
external_music_sync = false
external_music_path = "psf"
external_music_ext = "minipsf"
he_bios_path = "psf/hebios.bin"
Here is a short sound capture I took of the issue (I'm in Timber): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1tdjqmr4g2bfit7jyluq9/Timber.m4a?rlkey=8quu75oj08ekflwizrlmgin9y&dl=0
Do you have any idea what might be the cause?
