Releases / Re: [FF8:R] Demaster unofficial patch- HD fields, monsters, fixes + launcher 1.2.6

Ha, yeah, I was just playing with it, when reading about the issues with battle animations earlier I could tell that was going to be outside of my wheelhouse. I'm looking forward to the new upscales, that sounds amazing!
Instead, I started testing FatedCourage's Angelwing field upscales yesterday (don't know whether or not anyone's working on this presently but it's a rewarding when it works), specifically working with their Gigapixel test. I've only gotten through 8 broken fields so far, and my two principal concerns with it so far is: 1) seem to have a useless texture in every field that I have to fix, and 2) a couple of screens in fire cavern where I seem to get everything right, but find a black box artifact somewhere in the lava flow. I guess that could plausibly be me not having fixed the file names as well as I thought I have, something being wrong with the Gigapixel test screens, or maybe I screwed up the conversion (I dumped the 44 field directories into the directory containing the conversion tool Maki bundled with 1.1.1 and converted them there, instead of installing them into the game directory first, but that couldn't be it, could it? I'm being paranoid.). Here's that work so far: https://bpaste.net/OJBA.
Also, I did a write-up for folks who want to install the earlier Remastered mods into Demaster today, which expires on 2/25 and is offered with no further technical support: https://bpaste.net/2SDA. I hope it's accurate -- seems to be working for me so far, but I haven't played through enough to test every mod.
