[FF9 PC] Moguri Mod update 8.2 (LIVE ON OFFICIAL SITE)

[snouz]

I'd like point out the double name bug is caused by an OLD version of memoria, when uninstalling it. But the problem was fixed in Memoria and Moguri 8, so that means your save is from Moguri 7.0.1

and im still shocked that we had an update for the main game today.

[thrakkkk]

  Oh dang Snouz. Here I’ve been following this thread for months and was just about to start playing when v9 comes out. I’ve been waiting for an update that is close to final before I start.

 I’ll keep waiting and I really do want to thank you for all the hard work you’ve done.

thanks for the beautiful mod, I look forward to 9.0, I am very interested in the correction of the Widescreen.
it still takes a long time for the new version?

[Alek]

first of all, thanks for the mod. I really feels like you'd deserve part of the money Square's got for the remastered, as they did just half the work they should.

Anyway, I've got an issue with ingame dialogues. Just as the game start a blue mark appears in the middle of the screen and it stays there also after it loads the game. It wouldn't be so annoying if not for the fact that it doesn't allow me to see any dialogue (no dialogue window pop up while speaking with npc, also if they act like they were talking).
I already tried reinstalling both the mod and the game and changing UI and FPS settings, with no results.

Any details on the progress of the newest release? I don't have access to the older version of FF IX on steam, so I'm not sure how to play with the Moguri Mod 8.0.

Anyone have any suggestions for how to get something working? Please feel free to email, though I will check back.

It was frustration, because they changed the whole structure of files, which means our tools are now outdated. I won't just "wait until moguri is compatible", I'll have to find the way to make it compatible. Also, they release it without notice, which means it erased some files I was working on. Frustrated because V9 is almost done, and they had to wait 4 years to change minor things that were addressed in the mod or other mods.

@snouz Shhhesh that's annoying! Sorry to hear that man!
Isn't there a way to get the FFIX before the update to play your mod? I just update, and broke it. can't we find a guy that didn't update and get his version? ^^

[mikestrife]

I bought the game last week for the illusion of playing with the Moguri Mod. It's sad.
I've been looking at the Git and the pull requests, and I've seen this one:

Done: Merge changes from the last update # 147 - An update was released recently. We need to transfer the fixes from it.

Could not release a version in the forum or some instruction to be able to compile it in VS2019 and install it?

I am satisfied with a style version 8.0.1 working on the latest update. The rest of the bugs (like endgame, etc) I don't care so much at the moment. Someone knows? Thank you very much for the good work on this project!

If you find a copy, please share it? I was looking also. I just got FF IX, and I found out about Moguri and there's no working version of it available.

I've passed all the updated files to ZePilot, he's packaging the update (8.2), we're discussing file structure. It shouldn't be too long now!

Ohh! Thank you so much. I will be waiting impatiently. You're awesome

[Lokilla94]

Cuándo habrá la nueva actualización? Es que al haber una actualización de steam del juego se ha fastidiado el mod de moguri y no funciona bien :l

Gracias

It's totally possible, I've posted some instructions on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyIX/comments/i4q5st/news_ff9_steam_got_updated_after_4y_consequences/g1ez22t/

Any idea on a possible date it will be released?

[Vincent88]

Great work, snouz, you are the man.

Any future release planned?

[Caledor]

Beautiful, thanks!

Do you happen to have a list of issues you needed to address for 8.2 due to the different file structure?

[obesebear]

This is really incredible.  I don't know what else you have in the works, but this looks like the version SE should have released.  The quality is truly top notch.

[snouz]

Beautiful, thanks!

Not really any problem anymore. Still don't know why SE created some duplicate p0data files (thought it would be a problem, it's not), and if you're referring to the structure change in the mod, it's just that we used the new memoria feature by Tirlititi that allows us to add files in folders in the root directory, and it gains some clarity in install, allows for launcher options, easier updates, space gain...

[Koha]

Awesome work, thanks. Snouz could you share the checksum (MD5, SH1 or CRC32) to verify the download file?

[e2zippo]

Awesome update snouz! However I  don't seem to doing any damage when entering a fight. I started a completely new save and when fighting Baku in the beginning I'm not doing any damage, neither is he, so the fight never ends.

Any ideas?

That does not do that for me. Are you using Moguri alone?
That was a bug in a previous memoria version, so that's very odd, because the one in moguri 8.2 is up to date.

[e2zippo]

Yeah, only Moguri. I'll try another reinstall.

[Rade]

Thanks for all your hard work snouz, the mod looks great.

I ran into a couple of issues: First, if I tick the box to use the PSX font, it's using a different one to the one that's in the mod trailer which looks more faithful to the original game. How do I get the original font?

Second, I tried to install the scaled battle UI as I guess it isn't included, but after installing I only get the memoria launcher rather than yours, and after starting the game all the background environments are completely messed up.
