Releases / Re: [FF8PC-Steam] HD PS1 Font Replacement

« on: 2026-02-21 11:55:09 »

This is marvellous!
Do you plan to create also a FFVIII Remastered version?

Actually I am updating this font mainly reverting the curved ends making it slightly rounder from an earlier version and fixing Capital X W V lower case x y  making " " , . more blocky again and making shadows more uniform along with other minor adjustments if I can figure how to to adjust the font spacing I will add one for the remastered version.

Great mod, grats on the release!. Outside of the picture positions I don't think people will mind changing things up away from the original as additional options.

FFNX is for the original ff8, I'm only doing stuff for the remastered version. If I recall the original ff8 had banding issues, ff8 remastered is just the better version overall.

For the fields I have over 40 done, though they still need final checks and bug fixes. I could do them quicker but quality would drop, my goal is crisp clear textures. The current system that changes ff8 textures is too buggy and imo needs to be replaced.

I guess all data have been lost ?
Maybe with all new tools around it's a good moment to come back to this Yagami Light ?

No nothing has been lost I still have all the files, in fact the only way to get all the battlefield textures was to extract all of them manually from the files itself as any other auto extraction method had errors in the texture, which I have now done.
Looking back I should have done 1k floor textures and just upscaled instead. But no at the moment I'm doing field and menu textures heres the battlefield and menu screenshots you can find field textures on steam.

Support / Re: How to Edit my own Backgrounds on Remaster version

« on: 2022-07-15 07:32:34 »

You can use Sebanisu's tool to mass extract all background layers and swizzle them for use in game. vastly superior to Pupu though there are some bugs during the swizzle process, not sure why he hasn't posted it here

https://github.com/Sebanisu/Field-Map-Editor/releases

Don't bother using AI upscales as I'm already doing that, (Fire cavern and Balamb town already done)

Does anyone have a working link of just the program with the banding fix? Cant compile because visual studio gives lots of errors.

1. Place demaster files inside ff8 remastered main directory
2. Create new folder called DEMASTER_EXP inside ff8 remastered main directory
3. Use ZZZdearchive tool to extract the files from main.zzz and other.zzz and place those files inside DEMASTER_EXP
4. Does the game run? if not check demaster config file and change settings, still not working? verify integrity through steam and try again.
5. Do a quick edit to the square logo inside the texture folder to see if the changes happen in game.
6. Make sure any mods downloaded are in the correct folders inside the texture folder, and not just 'placed' inside the texture folder.

That is great to know. 

Your definitely legal software that allows extracting, modifying and re-releasing trademarked artwork (often behind a patreon paywall) does not support piracy…
The best way to promote the worst received game in a saga is definitely acting entitled with those willing to TRY it.

If you cant afford to buy the game, which is very cheap during the sales then I believe you are the entitled one. Maki has spent a lot of time fixing the barebones mess square enix created. 
You are out of your mind if you think ff8 is the worst received game in the series. You dont need patreon to mod the game.

Nobody responded because I already answered that question two posts above your original comment. You either downgrade the game to 1.01 or wait for Maki to patch the tool. Please read next time.

Those renders look beautiful Yasin, is this your own style or are you trying to replicate the original? The bottom back side of the chairs are supposed to be blue fabric material and for the back of the desks, its either painted wood or fabric, I dont think it's supposed to be a long cloth but still amazing work!

FF8 remastered was recently updated to fix the slow down caused by windows 10, so you will have to wait for a new update from Maki.

Dont use demaster mod manager as that can be buggy, make sure all the settings in the demaster config are correct. Only use zzzdearchive to unpack all the main game folders to a new folder named DEMASTER_EXP, then you can manually change all of the textures. Make sure its a legit game too otherwise it wont work.

I was wondering what was going on, thought it was a joke due to the euro football finals, I've changed my password to be on the safe side, were you able to identify which account was compromised? So they can do a virus scan on their end etc

WIP / [FF8 R - Steam] Project Ruby HD Battlefields

« on: 2021-06-15 15:14:48 »

Hi everyone I've been slowly learning Photoshop and wanted to try improve the old muddy battlefields of the game. So I've decided to post them here to see what everyone thinks.
Keep in mind it's not finished, all textures are WIP and subject to change. Some of the textures look bad as I've improved over time and not happy with them. (Dollets towns floor as an example will be replaced).
I've had issues with the game changing the brightness of the textures once they are in game, with no skip button for cutscenes slowing down progress.
It would be nice if the UV's could be fixed, as the textures glitch out or they don't align correctly.
The main goal of this project is to improve the look of the game while keeping the original game design intact.
All textures will be in 4k - Thanks to Makis tool I'm currently working on 10 battlefields so consider these just a taster.

I dont see the issue with releasing the gigapixel version, since its already released for the old version by fated. I used makis tool to make a remastered version but there was no point going through the game if the bug fixes have already been done. If you already had a release why hasn't a link been posted months ago in fateds thread?

Use the latest version tonberry 2.04, the eden textures are out of date and buggy, use project angel wing textures and up to date hashes for the field textures.

The exe is insider the texturemodhelper folder, if it doesn't run, update .Net framework to the latest version, try running the program as admin or see if windows/anti virus is blocking the program from running.

The changes are directly injected, only difference is everything is not compressed, Maki uses the same system the current developers for the remastered version used. The textures will never be just part of the game because the game has a resolution limit, so for HD textures to work it needs to be done externally.
