[FF8PC-Steam] GeDoSaTo Config v2.3 (Compatible with ReShade)

[Mcindus]

FF8 GeDoSaTo Config v2.3
by MCINDUS Update: 9/04/2018

**BRAND NEW RELEASE!!
**ALL LANGUAGES AVAILABLE!!
**NOW COMPATIBLE WITH RESHADE!!

These Configuration Profile enable the use of GeDoSaTo in Conjunction with ReShade, Tonberry, and the Steam Overlay!  If you are using GeDo AND ReShade, make sure you use v2.3(r).  For the 'normal' GeDo standalone version, use version v2.3(g).

These configurations are for the PC 2013 and STEAM 2013 releases only

Features:
- Downsampling 2x (4k, etc.) for beautifully smooth polygons and text!
- Use in conjunction with ReShade for maximum effect!
- Set Anti-Aliasing type and quality (If using GeDo's AA, do NOT use ReShade's)
- Enable Depth-of-Field and AO settings! [BROKEN!! TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!]
- The ability to use Tonberry in conjunction with ReShade, Anti-Aliasing, and Downsampling!
- Enable Durante(SweetFX) or Asmodean Postprocessing effects
- Enable Steam Overlay along-side Tonberry without crashes!

*  Added more common resolutions to the FF8_Launcher profile that aren't included in GeDoSaTo by default.  Check there to enable them!
**  If you have an uncommon Refresh Rate (not 60Hz), you must list it in the FF8_Launcher profile!

Final Fantasy VIII has never looked this gorgeous!

Side-by-side comparison: (OLD)
(Look at the edges of objects to get a real idea of what the downsampling and AA are accomplishing)

(Lunatic Pandora Mods Featured)

There is no longer any need to disable the STEAM overlay when using Tonberry with GeDoSaTo.

Thanks to Peter Durante for GeDoSaTo

Special thanks to Kaldarasha and KyubiNemesis for giving me the inspiration to figure this out

FF8 GeDoSaTo Config v2.3 by MCINDUS

If you enjoy this mod and any of my many others for FF8, please... DONATE HERE!
______________________________________

Instructions:

1. Install GeDoSaTo ON YOUR "C:" DISK!!
*****
A. Users must go to the Github of GeDo, download the master fork as 'master.zip' here: https://github.com/PeterTh/gedosato
B. Manually create a NEW C:/GeDoSaTo/ folder.
C. Move the contents of the /pack folder (not the folder itself)
*****
2. Unpack FF8_GeDoSaTo_v2.3 wherever you like
3. Open your Proper Language "FF8_GDSTConfig_" folder
4. Drag the 'config' folder into your \GeDoSaTo parent folder and merge them. (Mine is C:\GeDoSaTo) This will add FF8_XX and FF8_Launcher folders and 'whitelist_user.txt' to your GeDoSaTo/config/ folder.)
5. Open GeDoSaToTool.exe as Administrator [must do this EVERY TIME you load FF8]
6. Open FF8_Launcher.exe, go to "Settings" and select your new resolution from the Drop Down!
(If you don't see your downsampling resolution, you can add it in GeDoSaTo: See below)

After you hit "PLAY", you will see text in the top left of the screen confirming your downsampling rate if you did everything right

**DO NOT ALT+TAB -- the game does NOT handle swapping resolutions well.  To avoid, use in windowed mode.
**DO NOT USE MULTIPLE MONITORS -- there is currently no way to select which monitor to use via GeDo, you must use a different overlay (AMD, NVIDIA, ETC.) to do so.

______________________________________

- To configure your own settings, click 'Edit Settings' in GeDoSaTo and choose:

'FF8_Launcher/GeDoSaTo.ini' to modify your rendering resolution and frequency.

'FF8_EN/GeDoSaTo.ini' for Graphical settings and to enable DoF and AO!
** [CURRENTLY NOT FUNCTIONING] To enable the DoF/AO "pluginOverride GenericDepthPlugin" command by removing the # before the command in the FF8_EN (or whatever language) profile in order for the DoF and AO settings to work.  Currently GeDo can't find the z-depth buffer information, so there's no way to find the hash for the DoF and AO, so it applies to the whole screen.  This -may- be fixed in the future, if anyone can find the hash value.**
______________________________________

Settings by default for v2.3(g) are:
Resolution = 3840x2160@60Hz (4k)
Scaling Method = lanczos
Anti-Aliasing = FXAA; Med (2)     (OFF in v2.3r)
Postprocessing = On; asmodean  (OFF in v2.3r)
______________________________________

To enable SweetFX and/or change Asmodean options:

Click "edit postprocessing" and choose your SweetFX settings for 'durante' -OR-
Go to GeDoSaTo/assets/post.fx for the 'durante' SweetFX options (open in notepad, etc.)

Click "edit alt. postproc." and choose your settings for 'asmodean' -OR-
Go to GeDoSaTo/assets/post_asmodean.fx for the 'asmodean' Postprocessing options

***CURRENT BUGS***
*Steam Overlay is currently Un-Clickable, but Big Picture Mode seems to work well.
*You -may- need to put the D3DCompiler_47.dll file into the /steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/ parent folder to get things to work correctly!
*Some players are having an issue where GeDoSaTo must be located on their C:\
 drive.

Happy Modding!

Running the game with this just adds a nice touch to all the beautiful mods you guys keep crankin out. And thanks for the mention, that's really cool!

[savage-xp]

Nice tool, but i can't change my screen to 1440x900? Some bug?

[Mcindus]

Nice tool, but i can't change my screen to 1440x900? Some bug?

Where are you trying to change it? You can just edit the main GeDoSaTo.ini file for FF8_EN by clicking 'edit settings' and selecting 'FF8_Launcher/GeDoSaTo.ini' (or 'FF8_Launch2/GeDoSaTo.ini' if you use RaW.)  Right now, its set at 2x 1920x1080 (3840x2160).  Add 2880x1800 (double your resolution) to the list like this:

# Graphics settings

# The actual rendering resolutions you want to use,
# and how many Hz you want the game to think they work at.
# REMOVE THE # SYMBOL BEFORE THE RESOLUTION YOU WISH TO USE
# SELECT ONLY ONE RESOLUTION
# format: renderResolution [width]x[height]@[hz]
clearRenderResolutions
renderResolution 2880x1800@60         <----- add this line with NO "#"(*put your real refresh rate if not 60hz)
#renderResolution 3200x1800@60
#renderResolution 3840x2160@60       <----- add "#" to this line to disable it
#renderResolution 4480x2520@60
#renderResolution 5120x2880@60
#renderResolution 7680x4320@60

Make sure you click 'save' and then close the window, but leave GeDoSaToTool.exe open.

Open the FF8 launcher now, and you should be able to select the new 2x resolution (2880x1800).

You MUST pick a multiple of your monitor's resolution!

=============

Another workaround:
You can also copy/paste this section just below the resolutions in FF8_Launcher/GeDoSaTo.ini (or FF8_Launch2/GeDoSaTo.ini for RaW users) like so:

# The resolution you want to downsample *to*.
# Should generally always be your output device pixel size and frequency.
# Writing something not supported by the display here will probably cause a crash.
# 0 = main monitor resolution
presentWidth 0
presentHeight 0
presentHz 60

**Just changing this in GeDoSaTo.ini's main settings won't apply due to the override needed for the resolutions, so make sure you add it to your FF8 Launcher settings ini file instead!

If this STILL doesn't work, try changing the 0's to your actual resolution (as well as Hz).

Let me know if this helped!

[savage-xp]

I managed to work, just installed in other directory

I love FFVIII in maximum quality. So in the settings i manage to put the pink area completed aliased, but now i can't.



How i can disable that square in upper right corner?

[rotschleim]

Wait a tick--does this GeDoSaTo also smooth out FFVIII's 2D backgrounds? Holy moly!

I'm actually loaded to the teeth with mods too... I guess I should do a vanilla screenshot comparison XD

[FatedCourage]

I've actually tried this out before and it worked well. Downside for me is that my game lags at certain points once set at 1080p. Examples being in the final battle and using Rinoa's Wishing Star limit. Setting the resolution higher slows those scenes to a crawl. Still not sure why that happens. It's really a shame because I like this.

[Mcindus]

Hm... well, using a few tweaks, I seem to be able to broadcast on Steam just fine using GeDoSaTo and Tonberry!  I haven't had the chance to try this while getting an achievement, but it works!  The one downside is that you can't pull up the overlay using Shift+Tab or the game crashes.  I set my Steam Settings to not display any messages in the Overlay when I get chats or when I take a screenshot, but I can take screenshots to boot!

Let me know if you want to test this!

[Andyus86]

Hello, tried most of your mods and work very well, thanks for your job.
But i got a problem with this mod, i have rose and wine so i chosed the raw folder and followed everything correct but when i set correctly the resolution 3xxx on launcher...game is not on full screen, its Windowed.  Tried to Force some setting but i don't know what to do, can you help me?

Are you making sure that GeDoSaTo is the first thing you open?  Make sure you open GeDoSaTo and THEN the FF8 launcher.  It might be having an issue with the latest version of RaW - I haven't updated to the latest version to make sure HextLaunch is working properly with it. 

Also - make sure that the resolution is double whatever your monitor resolution is.  If your monitor is not 1920x1080, you're going to have to manually change the settings to some multiple of your monitors resolution in the FF8_Launch2/GeDoSaTo.ini pulldown in 'edit settings'.

--Just got an idea.  With HextLaunch now being the way you launch FF8 (the FF8+.exe), you should be able to use the regular config and NOT the RaW config. I'm going to test this right now.

thanks for answer, yes i lauch 1st gedosato and i can set the double resolution(main res is 1920x1080). I tried also the normal config but no luck...game launch in windowed mode! i tried also to disable full screen in launch option and game still launch in widowed but with window more "larger". I don't know what to do

[Mcindus]

Can you do me a favor and switch to the NON-RaW version and give it a try?  Let me know what happens.  If you still have the same problem, message me your FF8_EN/GeDoSaTo.ini and your FF8_Launcher/GeDoSaTo.ini so I can look through them.

[Andyus86]

i tried the non raw folder but problem is the same! game launch in window mode. I can paste and copy the 2 ini file you but they are default..so i don't touch anything inside!
Just saw onw thing, in you main post there is "- You will see text in the top left of the screen confirming your downsampling rate if you did everything right". well i don't get this message when i change the resolution in laucher

EDIT: i tried to launch the game from steam instead shortcut ff8+..game still in windowed mode. I tryed to disable full screen in launcher option and i got this:

http://i.imgur.com/mglGlgS.png

not full screen, but larger windowed mode and there is a message on top side

Do you have multiple high resolutions avalable or just the 3xxx?  If you're not using the english version , try changing the name of FF8_EN to whatever your language .exe is in the GeDoSaTo 'config' folder!  Open the User Whitelist and change it there too.

already done this, but no luck, i posted a screenshot if you look previous so everything should work i think and maybe this this downsampling 2 level make the game windowed but i don't know how to fix

EDIT: i don't know how..but i maked it work with the default launcher! but problems now is no music coz rose and wine mod! so i tried launch from ff8+ and i got this:

Can you PM me your default GeDoSaTo.ini file?  not the FF8_EN/GeDoSaTo.ini file, just the normal GeDoSaTo main one.  There might be some conflicting setting at this point.  If you can't PM yet, you can also put it in a [ code ] [ / code ] (leave out the spaces) section so it wont flood the post if you post it here.

Have you tried setting presentWidth and presentHeight to 0?

[Andyus86]

Yes sure! I got it working with the default launcher..but when i use the ff8+ or the hex for the add ons, always appears this Black square

[Mcindus]

Yes sure! I got it working with the default launcher..but when i use the ff8+ or the hex for the add ons, always appears this Black square

I fixed the issue.  For me, I had to revert back to FF8_Launcher and then I made a fix for all languages.

Uninstall/Reinstall my mod using the new download:
1.  Delete the FF8_EN (or whatever language yours is.) folder in GeDoSaTo/config
2.  Delete the FF8_Launcher (and/or FF8_Launch2) folder in GeDoSaTo/config
3.  Delete the whitelist_user.txt file in GeDoSaTo/config
4.  Re-download the mod and select your proper language!
5.  Put all of the files in the 'config' folder into your 'GeDoSaTo/config' folder (or just merge the folders).

This should work like a beauty.  If GeDoSaTo is working correctly, you will only have one higher resolution to choose from (at different refresh rates)... so if you have a bunch of different ultra high resolutions that you can pick from (4xxx - 7xxx) etc., then you have the wrong files in the wrong places.

In other words:  Check the new release!  Download for RaW W04 fix!

[Makavelii]

Hi, new poster here. c:
I've managed to make most of the mods on this forum work without problems, but after working on this particular one for over a day now, I turn to you good folks for some help. At first I couldn't choose the resolution I placed into the FF8_Launcher config (3840x2400) but after updating RaW to it's latest version that's no longer an issue. My problem now is that when I try to play with the custom res the game launches in a small window with a larger black box over it (when I don't use FF8+.exe to launch, it's the same but without the overlying black box). When switching it from full screen to windowed in the launcher's options, the windowed mode gets much larger but still not ideal to play on. The tool definitely improves the gameplay on my native resolution (1920x1200) thanks to the SweetFX, but not being able to get the downsampling aspect of it to work is a bummer.

Edit: Downsamples correctly when I use the default 3840x2160 instead of the 3840x2400 I added, though I have to change my moniter's res to 1920x1080.

[Andyus86]

@mcindus
I downloaded your new config and at begin i got the same Black square with the ff8+ shortcut but after i edited some setting on gedosato and now everything works very well..thanks =)

[DarkMatta]

Hey guys.

Loving all the work that you do on here for FFVII, but I had to sign up as I cannot get this to work at all. I'm pretty sure I've followed the instructions right 3 times now, but when I launch the game Via FF8+, I have no option to select the higher resolution I set -up in the launcher settings. I don't know where I am going wrong now.

Any help would be great appreciated.

edit: Okay, scratch that. I enabled Anti-Aliasing, and now it's giving me the options.

It should only be giving you one new resolution option (at 3840x2160) with different refresh rates.  If it's giving you more, you've messed with your default GeDoSaTo.ini - make sure that is still default and if you want to change settings, change them in FF8_Launch/GeDoSaTo.ini or FF8/GeDoSaTo.ini  Some people try to mess with the default file to get things to work, but I recommend going in fresh.  Anti-Aliasing is already enabled if you put the FF8 and FF8Launch folders into the GeDoSaTo config folder.
