Hello there!
What is this?An early stage of FF3 HD mod.
No GeDoSato or any other external application needed.
-=
INCOMPLETE=-
I need some help from more knowledgeable than me people.
Examples? How did you do this?- Used BatchZ77 to unpack ntxp.lz files
- Stripped the header from unpacked files and saved it
- Renamed the ntxp files to give them nsbtx extension (for ease of further use)
- Used MKDS Course Modifie to extract textures for mosters, NPCs and playable characters
- Used Waifu2x to scale textures up 4 times
- Imported enlarged textures back to nsbtx files*
- Re-applied header (have no idea what I'm doing here. Just glued the stripped in #2 header back. Probably the source of all the troubles? I failed to find/comprehend the structure of the ntxp file)
- Packed everything with BatchZ77
* Some files had a wrong or no palette. Had to use NitroModel_ConverterGUI to recreate files WITH a palette. Didn't work for o***.nxbt files (textures become unreadable resulting in a model with pure white texture) but seemed to work fine for f***.nsbtx files with monster textures.
How to testGet
this archive, unpack and replace the files in SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Final Fantasy III
Cool! What's the name of the project?The project has no fancy name like Remako or Moguri.
Can I suggest a name for the project?It's too early for that, but you're welcome
Ok, gotcha. What help do you need?There are issues with the files, and I don't know where to start fixing those.
1. First of all, some enemies have no graphical representation in battles. They load and behave just fine, but you can see only their shadow.
2. The thing above is inconsistent. Some enemies load just fine in quantities more than 2, but some disappear when they're second or third (have never more that 3 enemies so far).
3. Sometimes the game crashes when it tries to load something it doesn't like. I need to find a way to know what files are loaded by the game to revert the changes back. Not afraid of debuggers (are those the only way?), but it's been a long-long time since I used any. Need someone to show me what to do there specifically for this game. (One may say I'm to lazy to google, but look at the sheer amount of manually extracted and re-inserted textures
)
Do you have any save files with problematic places?Take
this file and put it in %localappdata%\FF3_Win32\*****************\ folder (Start the game, save once with a quick save and that should generate the folder structure for you).
If you're using SteamPlay (Linux), try this path instead <Steam-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/239120/pfx/
Just wander around the desert or take a ship to sail the sea.
I bet the very 1st fight will have those issues I described above.
Is the patch stable? See the #3 in "What Help do you need section".
Buggy, but AWESOME! Are you serious about this? Are you willing to replace ALL the textures? If I will know the way to fix those issues, then YES, Absolutely.
WOW! The Playstation-style input prompts! Gimme! It's just a PNG.
Get
this file and put it near the rest of the files in SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Final Fantasy III (replace).
P.S. I sure hope I didn't do something that is already has been done 😅.
EDIT: It seem the problem is with the j***.nxtp files. Enemies work just fine w/o those!
I'd say wait for an update!
Lol, editing the post before a moderator approved the whole thing...
Also, just realized, it's the wrong place for a thread... Sorry
