Thank you! I believe I'm finally making some progress now.

This information needs to be added somewhere to let new people like me know that the demaster tool does not work as it should. All of the tutorials and walkthroughs that I could find used it which made me think that I was going insane when it wasn't working for me.

I have been trying for hours to get this Demaster to work but just can not.

I'm using FF8-R.
Demaster 1.2.8.
All files from the .zip have been put into the steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered folder.
The manager unpacked the game files.
I've added several mods worth of texture files to the texture folder inside of DEMASTER_EXP, and confirmed that they replaced the originals.
None of the mods added via demaster are working...the old files still somehow creep in presumably from main.zzz.
I've launched the game through Steam, the FFVIII application file, and from FFVIII_LAUNCHER packed with demaster.

I must be missing something...

Mods added via zzzDeArchive are working.

Is there something that I need to do to get FF8 to read the right set of files? I'm at my wit's end...
