LunarCry: Remastered v2.2  by MCINDUS
For use only with the Steam release of Final Fantasy VIII Remastered

UPDATED 5/13/2020 With ALL ENEMIES including battle and field textures!
FIELDS ARE GLITCHED RIGHT NOW! They will be released with a separate mod.

Thanks to Maki and his amazing DEMASTER Modding tool, we can now inject ALL of the enemies into the game!

FF8: Remastered came with very few battle models actually improved for most enemies in the game. This mod fixes that by adding ALL enemies with ESRGAN and Gigapixel AI composited upscales in order to provide the BEST possible textures available!

The remaster also came with 3x upscales of the enemy field models, but the quality was VERY lacking, so I made these beauties, which are now 6x original size!
All enemy model textures have been re-created using custom texture techniques combined with using my own ESRGAN AI Upscaling models!

Only current drawback: Enemy Battle textures are currently locked to 3x original size.
I hope you enjoy!

Yeah, as soon as we can get access to replacing the enemy battle textures i'll be porting all of my LunarCry 2013 enemy textures to this mod :)
Actually, I'll be releasing a whole new LunarCry for the old steam version when that happens, too! It's a new gigapixel AI LunarCry
 
also i noticed that some part of the texture of omega weapons are missing, basically a little part of his back and a little piece of his chest is invisible
 
**Updated the mod with a HUGE update!**

Mod now includes ALL enemies, battle -and- field model textures!
Check the original post for the download link! (for use with Maki's DEMASTER only!)
 
Thx for the sharing, some ennemies like Caterchipillars are much better nice work
 
Awesome! This has definitely been worth the wait, thankyou for your hard work mcindus
 
the updated version is only for the demaster temporary modding program :(

This makes me happy was a lil worried the 2103 would be forgotten. Truly impressive work rate my man.
 
Hi guys, i was finally able to get it to work by getting the latest version of the game, but now i am encountering a new problem where in certain areas of the game as i advance, it crashes on me with this error regarding an image being out of bounds. I have attached a link to the problem. what can i do in such situations? Thanks

FYI, I had an issue where some sprites were mixed (like, a face would be on a chest or a piece of clothing would be on a hand) and I wasn't able to see the magazines (like Timber Maniacs or the Weapons Monthy mags). This issue was fixed by following these directions. According to this post, it's an issue with LunarCry?

Going to be releasing the FieldModelPack this weekend! This will come with Lunar Cry files that will overwrite the ones from this mod, and will eliminate the strange texture replacement glitches!
 
Are there any news related to scenario HD Backgrounds?? Sorry to write in this topic but for the life of me, I cannot find any information related to the subject anywhere.
 
Hello, I installed the mod but there's nothing in the objmap folder in my tonberry folder. Can anybody help?
