I have tried every program I could encounter. I've tried Moomba to edit the dialogue, and used a pre-ready pack of data. No way of compressing them back to the state they need to be in.
I have tried a program that extracts the files from the .fi archive, but you can't create a .fi archive!
Can any one tell me how you do this. It has been driving me nuts for the past hour.

Hi!
I'm a co-ordinator of FF8PL Project (translating to polish). If I understand, that you can't compile .msd files back into the game, right?
1. You must have Qhimm's program - Garden.
2. You must decompile game files with this program (this takes some minutes :wink: ).
3. After decompile, you have a .GPR file and folder [ff8].
4. Pre-ready pack for Moomba has folder structure like [ff8] folder from Garden, but in this pack you have only .MSD files (dialogues). You can switch all .MSD files from Moomba to this [ff8] from Garden.
5. Look on your .GPR file. If it has 1209 KB, it's bad. Proper .GPR file must have 1409 KB. I have this file :) :
Here it is properly .GPR file and FF8AC program by M4v3R (http://www.republika.pl/robincolly/FF8PL/ff8acandgpr.rar).
Bad GPR file (1209 KB) you have to replace by good GPR file from this link above (1409 KB).
6. Create a backup of [Data] folder in FF8 game folder.
6. In Garden, open proper GPR file, click [Compile], and select only field files (in 'Main Data Files"). In 'Field Data Archives' don't move anything.
7. And you can play :D
8. If game crashes, check [field.fs] file in [Data] folder. If If it has 0 KB, you have to copy original file from backup and try again. This point happens very rarely, but occasionally happens :wink: .
PS. FF8AC program can compile to the game files from menu, world, battle, etc.
PS2. This surely works. You have some screens [34, 35 and 36 are newest from field] here (http://republika.pl/robincolly/translation-ff8.html).
