[FF8 STEAM]FF8_Buttons patch : show PSX buttons

[Shunsq]

Hello people,
i am aware that some players use "key binding", so as to say people who use controllers that replicate the keyboard . I will start searching for a way to prevent the fingy error.

[Robgatti]

Thank you @Shunsq!

I really appreciate it, your patch is much more simpler and less time consuming than using other mods, cant wait for a fix on this!

I'm trying to get the buttons to show for me but the only thing show is the FF8 cursor in every slot. Any idea what's up?

[thefunge]

Have we ever figured out a solution to the cursor?

What about Button mod for pc-2000? (1.2/1.2nv)

I'm having that issue also. I downloaded the 2 text files, EN & Config, put them in Raw/Global/Hext

The controller is working its just all the icons are cursors

Please help!

You can use the existing SeeD mod for 2000 and then replace the GREEN font text pages (sysfld00 and sysfld01 green palettes) with the ones from my controller buttons mod. it uses the same textures as the 2000 SeeD mod, but you might have to rename something.

I know, but there will be some problems with it, hd font in English, it is not for Russian.
The problem is not even that, but that if you do not use HD, it will be superfluous.

Not sure I understand completely, but are you saying that you only have low-res fonts to use with the Russian version? (The green text is barely ever used so it's not that bad if it's English)
Could you send me a link to the russian version so I can see what's in it to see if I can help?  (I am the author of all SeeD mods and the other controller mod)

I know you, you are the most famous modder for final fantasy)
The main reason, because I do not use the hd font, and the second, that the green font, although it is used little, can be a problem.
Therefore, we need a hext button mod, this is exactly the minimum that is needed for the game.

Spoiler: show

We have long created russian SEED based on yours, without source,
it was then difficult, as no one knew at the time how to edit the width, tonberry at this time only appeared.

People ask for a new version, but so far there is no one to do it.

Currently, I'm the only one doing font, trying to create a nice low-res font:



most importantly I do not know how to recreate the effect of shadow as in the original, I tried to smooth the font, use a shadow with noise, nothing came even close.
So I'm sorry until I make a low-res font, i can forget about the hires font too, without the sources to recreate the seed reborn no one will definitely be.

Hey Shunsq,

The link for RaW to DLPB seems to be broken, do you have any alternate links for me? thanks!

someone still here in this topic?
I've the problem with the white glove, and i know the problem is because i use an XInput controller (360 wired) with big picture using mappings who use keyboard key instead (for using the D-Pad in the menu, use the trigger buttons ecc)
if i not activate steam keymappings and i let only the game see the controller, i could only use the analog stick for movement and the triggers not work (i know, ff8 on steam not natively work with XInput's triggers) and instead for L2 R2 buttons i need to use L3 and R3 (the analog pressed buttons)
there is any solution now? the better one will be using the keyboard keys on the controller with pig picture but this mod not work

Works with Dualshock 2 and twin usb adapter.

I'm a bit confused on how to use the 'FF8 Buttons config tool'. Can someone kindly explain to me?
It says to change the value on the right to change the icon. So according to the list below, 84 is equals to Triangle. Then what does 39A +1 mean?
39A +1   =   84   
3A4 +1   =   85      
3AE +1   =   86      
3B8 +1   =   87      
3C2 +1   =   80      
3CC +1   =   81      
3D6 +1   =   82      
3E0 +1   =   83      
3EA +1   =   88      
3F4 +1   =   8B      
3FE +1   =   89      
408 +1   =   8A


#For information:
###Standard configuration(xbox360 plug and play controller)
{   PSX icon   |   Code 
{   Cross   =   86
{   Circle     =   85
{   Square   =   87
{   Triangle   =   84
{   L1      =   82
{   R1      =   83
{   Select   =   88
{   Start      =   8B
{   L3      =   89
{   R3      =   8A
{   L2      =   80
{   R2      =   81

I am having the same issue, where all face buttons show up as a white glove. Tried a few ways to install with Mcindus's and this but nothing works too well via mapping the xbox controller via steam's layout.

To apply this patch you must use one of these tools:
option 1) RaW by DLPB
This first option is preferred because it is more simple to use. Just download the lite version ( no music files included, no interface), put the Raw folder, bass.dll and ddraw.dll in the same folder as your FF8_**.exe .
option 2)HEXTLAUNCH from here :  Hext tools created by DLPB.

Hello, neither of options work. Thread for RaW says "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you" and link for HEXT tools says "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist."

Can anyone reupload the tools? I don't want to heavily mod the old version of FFVIII, just want to fix the controller icons from the PC default Button 1, 2, 3 etc.

Edit: Hext pack works, it's "Simple Music Alarm 3.4" link that is down.

I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work using the Hext Tools. I kept getting a huge list of errors in my logs about permissions and not being able to write to memory. Step 4 wasn't clear to me "Launch FF8 with the default FF8_launcher.exe". You have to click OK then Play (you know, actually launch the game itself)... Just wanted to share in case someone else might have the same issue down the road.
