So, I do not think Project Eden is working for me while other tonberry mods are. Am I missing a hash csv? There only seem to be textures in the zip.

You can find the hashmap for Project Eden on the first page of the Tonberry 2.04 thread. At least, that's the easiest method.
 
Do I need any hashmap file if I use Tonberry 1.5?

Been awhile since I've used v1.5. You'll still need them depending on which mods you're going to use. But, at the same time, v1.5 is slower and can crash depending on certain scenarios. A majority of these problems have been resolved on the newest version. And in this version hash1map already has the codes for Project Eden, SeeD Reborn, and TT I believe?
 
Not sure what I did wrong since the instructions are very simple to follow, but this mod doesn't seem to be working for me. I downloaded and copied the into my textures folder, but  when I load the game all the textures look exactly the same as if I hadn't changed anything at all.

I'm using Tonberry 1.6 and I'm not getting any errors or crashes whatsoever. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it, last mod I wanted, all the rest are working great! Let me know if you need anymore info.

I figured it out, apparently I was missing the hashmap file, found it this morning after reading more of the forum posts and got it working. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do to make our favorite games look great!   :-D
 
Hey, Ozmy!
Are also going to make this kind of mod for the upcoming Steam release of Final Fantasy 9?

It would certainly be nice, but the modding process involves making the tools first to help extract/unpack game files to be modded. I don't think we have those tools yet, so we'll first have to do some waiting after the game release.
 
Not sure if this is the right spot for this one...

I'm running into an unknown exception error in the same spot, when Squall Selphie and Zell are boarding the ship to leave the Dollet mission.  I have RaW, Tonberry 2.04, Apocalypse, Horizon, LunarCry, Project Eden, SeeDReborn and Tripod installed.  From the Biggs/Wedge fight up to here I didn't run into any other errors.  Has anyone ran into this before?
 
I believe this would go here. As I've been playing the game with this mod as well as other mods installed I am noticing that a lot of the backgrounds have discolored and pixelated square textures that are showing. An instance of this is seen at the dollet communications tower. I notice it as squall and his party come down from the tower and exit as the spider machine thing is up top before it jumps down. When I look at the background in parts of the sky and the tower there are square pixelated discolored textures. I noticed these types of square textures in various backgrounds throughout the game especially where there is a light source from a lamp fixture.

Another thing that I saw as I was playing the game, when squall is carrying Rinoa on her back to Esthar on the train tracks in fisherman's horizon as squall is walking towards the light posts and walks past the light posts the light posts cover him in the background meaning you can't see him as he's walking through/past the light post. I am not sure if this is a project Eden issue or another mod issue but I think it has to do with this mod. I have everything installed correctly I believe.

I have the hash1map, hash2map, and collision in the main tonberry folder as well as the hashmap for this mod and other mods in the hashmap folder and one objmap file for another mod, lunar cry.  Are these texture glitches known or am I forgetting something?  And is there a fix?

I am using the latest version of Tonberry 2.04 and I believe I have the most current hashmap files from Mcindus.

I can upload (I think) images of my file directories to see if anyone thinks there is something wrong but I'm not sure how to do that.  I'm not the most computer savvy.

You should remove hash1map - it is no longer needed.  hash2map is very important and deals with collisions, and that should be in your /tonberry/ folder, not the hashmap folder (which it seems like you've done already).  Make sure collisions.csv is also in the /tonberry/ folder.
 
Hey. I'm experiencing some of the graphical glitches reported by nRage on page 2 of this thread. I'm wondering though, in the initial post, this screenshot was shown.

https://1f4047f4b2ba7f2a0addca2365f...t/0ByMkI_Nb8OmJRlZfaVdfWU92aUU/gggate1_01.png

My gggate1_01 looks like the screenshot nRage captured:

I'm wondering, since this glitch has already been reported, and since there is a screenshot of the background working properly on page 1, does that mean that there's a release somewhere which fixes it? Something I'm missing? Maybe it's my hashmap file? I'm using Tonberry 2.04, and I'm using the Project Eden hashmap from page 1 of the Tonberry 2.04 thread. And no, I don't have hash1map.csv in my Tonberry folder.

I thought it might be one of those texture collisions I've been reading about (though that's just a wild guess -- I've been scanning these forums for information and that seems to be a commonly reported problem), so I tried sticking all of my mods' hashmap files except the Project Eden one into the disabled folder. No dice, the field is still glitched.

Thanks for all the hard work everyone!

I know this is already documented, but bghall4a is causing a glitch with the elevators. I'm pretty sure the textures were swizzled incorrectly, or at least that's what it looks like.
 
Does anybody have a mirror for this?
I think this is the only mod that still uses the defunct download site, and after wiping my hard drive I really want to experience it again.
EDIT: Sorry for being an idiot.

Really?
There's the two links in the OP, and the one torrent link in one of McIndus' posts.
I've tried all of them, and they all go to 13tomidnight.

The first download link in the OP is a google drive link...  give it another shot?
I'm not the author of this mod, so I can't change the OP.
 
Not sure if this is still something being worked on, but my game is crashing when I walk into the Timber Maniacs building in Timber.  Had to disable all the mods one at a time to figure out which one was causing the crash, haha.
