Yo! I manage it! I was able to extract all 5243 textures of FF8. Now, I can start a good mod which involves in switching Squall and Seifer. If you have requests about that, just ask, it would be easy for me :-P Oh yeah, here are the textures :

Yeah you can't just post links to copyrighted property.  Warned

Then, from now on, I know exactly what I have to do and approximately how much time it will last. Alone, maybe it will last for more than a constant month of work :P I mean 1 month where I never sleep, eat, go to bathroom and never do anything else but that. Annoying and very long. With two other persons, it could be 1 month of smooth work (approximately 4-5 hours per day). So, as you could understand, I'm asking for help. Yes, I want everybody here who are interested in my project to contact me by PM or at [email protected] by email or by Messenger. Oh, and yeah, this project is in fact to switch Squall and Seifer so Seifer will be our main party member and Squall will be a boss we face 4 time within the game. Just the FMVs with Seifer and Squall can't be modified. It will be the Alpha (or Beta if good work is made) version until the dialogs are changed (I own a French version :P ) and a few other things. The next project after that will be to switch some of the GFs with the characters. Hard, but barely doable... just very long :P

Oh, yeah, I told two persons are good, but there isn't any limits, hey. You don't have to speak French, but if you do, it'll be great. I think I'll speak English better than you French if it isn't your primary language.

EDIT : Damn three successive posts >_<
 
How are you planning to do this Squall/Seifer mod? Do you actually know anything about modifying the models? Have you checked how plausible it is?

I think that the differences in bone-structures will either cause Seifer's coat to look awkward or require its removal.

Oh, that? This mod is almost finished :) I just replace Squall's and Seifer's models and textures. The only prob is that I'm not able to modify Squall's battle data in Ifrit. Any help Gjoerulv? And of course, the only thing that is missing is Squall's model for the third fight (AKA Fight with both Seifer and Edea) because Squall doesn't have this model for him, I have to force him into. Also, I cant put the SeeD uniform on Seifer (the one we take at Dollet as example). And so far on, Ive been waiting for an answer from one of my friends. I'm working these days on putting FF8 Char's models into FF7. Models done, texture's missing. May I post screen anyways also if the chars are only blank? It's all up to you... I will be able to release Seifer's patch in something about 1 month or less if everything's good. Let me know some things you would like to see :)

 You wanna tell us something about that picture? :P
 
Holy $h*t! I just remember I totally forgot to take away the data information of the originals Seifer and Squall, which in fact means that the Seifer patch will be ready probably... never :P As long as I know (Gjeorulv may know much about that than me), it's simply impossible to take away these data information from the chars models. And the textures from the chars cant be imported into ff7... I believe that someone could help me with that, but I already have some people. I would make the FF8 patch for FF7 completely legal in means that you'll need both FF7 AND FF8 PC for this to work. Although, I will need some programmer helping because this isn't an easy task. Aali is surely too busy and myst6re didn't want... How 'bout you, Gjeorulv? Wouldn't you help to make that legal? :) Oh, yeah, if someone could tell me... well I forgot. I'll tell you when I'll remember.
 
Back in the day, I remember I made some models for FF7 that looked like the FF8 Characters. I used parts that were already in FF7 to do it. I finished Rinoa (Tifa), Quistis (Aeris) and Selphie (Yuffie).

I wonder if I still have them somewhere, or if they suffered the fate of my Crisis Core stuff :/

...I've done waaay to much with FF7 :P
Rinoa (Tifa)
Oh god WHY!  :cry:
 
*** UPDATE ***
I've decided to put some enemies in too. It will be easy enough but there's still two problems.

1) How do you import the textures into the character files? I have them but cannot import...
2) How do you split the parts of the characters into more other. I have to do this but dunno how.

Otherwise, my Garden isn't working anymore (I miss the MFC42D.DLL on my computer) so the Seifer patch will have to wait a little bit.

Oh, yeah, I believe some people were wondering what is the GFs Patch. I plan on replacing the characters by the GFs (and put the GFs in the game, of course). I would be difficult, so not for now.
 
*prepare for a long writing*

Well. As said in the PM, this will have to wait. My project is stand-by for an unknown time. If anybody have some help to provide (because the conversion of files from FF8 to FF7 and vice-versa is really difficult), then the project can go on :) I am really in a blind now, so any help is welcomed. For the conversion, it may be very tricky, but barely, very, doable. If Gjoerulv can help me, it would be pretty cool. Dunno if I forgot anything :P

Hey, this is my thread, is it?

I now got more knowledge and I am able to import FF8 models into FF7. It would take long, but I can do it. But since ripping models is against the rules, I'll have to make models from scratch. Since I'm not good at modeling or even retexturing, I would be glad if someone could point me to something useful (I already know of Timu Sumisu's tutorial) and importing isn't an issue for me at all.
 
ripping from other games is illegal here, but i do believe if you make custom characters for it they may not mind i don't know exactly though you would have to ask them i guess....
Awesome!!
Hope you can finish this ASAP
I'm counting on ya
 :)
