This has been a really fun day.  I love that Awesome. :mrgreen:

There is one glitch so far!  It seems like the backgrounds don't always load 100% of the time when in Triple Triad.  I'll let Omzy know and we'll keep working on it!

You can find it here.

It is a png lib DLL you need for most mods and emulators.

Also -- I'm currently finishing Tripod v1.1 and the text and icons are really coming along nicely!  I will post a youtube video with some gameplay as well as some screenshots when the project is complete.

---edited original post with some new screenies---

Hi, nice mod, i loved it!  ;D

but i have an problem here, i'm using the v1.1 you released but the background texture you did and the numbers textures you changed don't seem to be working for me

in these screenshots it shows how my game looks:

See it? it's still the old background&numbers, hope you can help me.
edit:i'm using FFVIII new release from steam, the version of the game is the 1.0.11.

Do you have Tonberry v1.2 installed?  Can you uninstall/reinstall the mod?  Also - make sure you have the Steam client open and not just the FF8 exe.  Just to be sure - restart your computer. for some reason, i think directx9 needs to be reset sometimes. (not sure though)  Let me know if any of this works.

 

[Kaldarasha]

Well it looks by me the same, but I believe that some files aren't the same in different languages (my game is German). I haven't looked into that closer so I'm not sure. However the first Seed project had a special version for German.

I had the same problem with him. I restarted and it didn't work. Background in card game is not HD quality.

Make sure you have the latest version of "hashmap" from the Tonberry page.  It should work with v1.2 and later.
Also - update your graphics drivers - this step has helped a lot of people with DirectX issues.
If that doesn't work, try re-installing Tripod and then reboot when you're done with everything.

Are you playing the English language version of the game?
Can you post your system specs?

 

[kisirong2501]

I use Tonberry 1.4 and hashmap 1.2. So, I tried reinstalling tri pod and restarting many times but it didn't work. I 'll update my gpu driver and feedback later.
Here 's my specs:
Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
Core 2 duo E7400 2.8 Ghz
Ram 3 Gb
Vga: ATI HD 6770 (driver v 13.2)

Finally got the mods to work but having the same problem as "Kisirong2501". Same old background and old numbers for me, the rest works...A restart didnt resolve this problem for me either. Hope a solution will be found soon.
