Hi Mcindus

First of all thanks for the Lunatic Pandora Installer, it's really great to have all the best mods in one single package :-) I just have some questions regarding the installation, after donating I extracted the first Installer in my FFVIII steam path which is located in S:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VIII, this went without issues however once I run the LP Installer.exe that is created inside the folder the files get installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VIII which is a path that is created during the installation.

If I try to run the FF8_Ultra_Launcher from here it obviously fails indicating that can't find the FF8_Launcher.exe so what I have done is just copy/paste all the files crated by the LP installer to my Steam folder in S: Drive, the mods have been working so far after this but I'm not sure if by moving the files I would have issues later.

I've checked your LP Troubleshooting in your Steam guide and it says that LP must be installed in the parent FF folder however I'm not sure if you refer to the first installer that is unzipped or the second one that is the proper .exe that install the Mods, is there a way to change the path during the "second" installation of your pack? or is correct to just move the files to the correct drive where steam is installed in my case.

In any case thanks for all the great Mods!

If you copy/pasted all of the contents from the FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folder that it created on your C: drive and moved it all to the parent drive on your S: drive, then the mods should all work the same way!
 
Hi Mcindus,

Thanks, so far no problems after copy-paste the folder created in C: so I guess it worked fine.
 
Hey Gang!
I had a quick question but don't know if this is where to post it but it involves the mods. For some reason when the mods are active, I am unable to use magic. Technically, I can use magic, but the quantity of magic never goes down, ostensibly giving me infinite magic which I really don't want because I'd rather not make the game any easier than it already is (at least the steam version seems to be much easier than I remember the PS1 version to be). This error also makes me unable to use double or triple spells, as it will only cast once instead of twice or three times. Is this a common glitch or am I just lucky? Is there a way around it if it is known? I used the pack for Lunatic Pandora instead of doing it manually if that helps. I also have Rose and Wine enabled if that is useful information as well. Thanks for the help and I appreciate all the work that's been done! From what  have experienced, it's been pretty incredible!
 
I wanted to add a discovery of sorts. I don't know why I attempted it but I was curious enough o dig into the files in HL_Files/DLL_in and opened Magic.dll. I didn't change anything but I was curious if removing this file from the folder will fix the magic issue, and for now it did! I am surprised and still don't know how or why it fixed it (at least as of right now, I'm sure I'll find out soon if it was a permanent fix) and I also don't know if I changed something that will domino into future problems later. Just wanted to add that to my previous comment and see if I should undo what I did and take a different approach that doesn't involve removing files or if this should be the best way to resolve my issue. Please let me know if there is any further details that may be needed and I will be happy to help.
 
Hello - I purchased this and am now just so confused. How do I change the installer directory? It only seems to want to install to C: but I have the steam game currently on my D: drive.

Sometimes, it can get caught up in the install the first time.  For some reason, it doesn't let you change the drive letter once it's tried to install it anywhere else.

EASY FIX THOUGH!  All you have to do is drag/drop the files from the FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folder it creates and move them into your correct parent /FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folder!
 
Hello Mcindus,
I purchased your mod pack and I have to say I am having a blast with it.  Thanks for all the hard work you and everyone involved.   You guys truly made my re-play through that much more enjoyable.  Everything is pretty much working except for one thing: the HP limit is not breaking.  I've seen multiple forums and solutions but none have been successful.  I saw you recently created a new hext file (or whatever its called, i'm not too savy with this stuff); whatever was made to replace the .dll files.  Anyway, I still have my HP limit still set at 9999 (i tried leveling, messing with the HP+%).  I hope this is the correct place to post this.

Although this isn't exactly game breaking, I would love to have this working, especially towards end-game of my "omega extreme" run.  Looking forward to your response.  Let me know if I need to provide anything.

Thanks again!
 
I just paid for the  MASSIVE FF8 ULTRA Lunatic Pandora Mods Pack and something happened to the cart and it glitched when completing the paypal purchase but the money went through how can I access the mod installer?
 
I recently donated for this mod pack but my download keeps failing. Is there a way for us to get a mirror link like a torrent or something like that? 2GB is really hard to download here  :'(

Hi

I'm buy Lunatic Pandora few hours ago. I installed FF8 from steam and it puts in my language, spanish.

So, i change to english in order that FF8_Ultra_Lanucher.exe can run it but, when game starts there isn't have any change or mod activated. Game runs as normal steam version.
I don't know why so, anyone help me?

Thanks a lot

I just installed most of the mods separately myself and am loving them all with pure happiness, I only did not install the Tri mod. Everything else was fine. Tri's mod warns of glitches with others & the creator is working on them still.   That one you installed I avoided because of the same reason, glitches still being addressed, but I wish you luck, as me I'll stick with the stuff that's been most functional.
 
Hi, iv'e installed the Lunatic pandora pack but it seems like i cant get it to work properly. I feel like it should be easier than im making it to be but can u help me out pls
 
Hello,

I have installed a cracked ff8 steam version and installed the mod properly but it is not working.

I can't access steam cuz the game is cracked ( Inlaw's crack). So no disable overlay.

What should I do?
 
Got the game to work thx for your response.

I have another issue now which is I can't run any language. Exe except for the ff8 launcher. Exe

The uv method is not working as I can't run en.exe

What to do?

Thank you
 
Nvm uninstalling the game fixed the problem.

Many thx to all of you.
