I really like the new FFX inspired font. The only major downside to the new version is that the junction icons are more ambiguous than the original text version. It is hard to decipher which is which stat, without having memorized the order beforehand.
 
Also:
Has anyone out there tested any of the 'alternate textures' I've provided? They are pretty much just title screens for the available difficulty mods out there, as well as a color palette change to the background of the in-menu tutorials.  If people find them easy to use, i'll add more to the next release!

I personally enjoy having the additional options for the title screens and backgrounds. You don't really see them often but they're a nice treat when you do.

Just a heads up though, the current directory structure for the alternative tutorial backgrounds are all missing a subfolder, so the swap won't work for those who are directly merging the folders.

Thanks! On that note:
Heart = Hp
Bicep = Strength
Shield = Vitality
Hand/sparkles = magic
Wing = spirit
Running = speed
Squiggly arrow = evade
Explosion = hit
Clover = luck

Thanks! That's a major bug I need to fix! Let me know if you find anything else!
 
Wow, that's awesome!  Is there any chance you would be able to help me map out coordinates for which animations happen when?  Right now, the mod has about 20%-40% redundant information due to me not knowing exactly what the game is pulling from what palette at which point.  Animations are a key example, but aren't often used in this particular mod -- just alternate palette swaps. I've atlased and consolidated much of the textures into several 'masters' but am unsure of which ones I -have- to use, due to not knowing every text variable in the game.  Also, the Tonberry mod was written to explicitly read from these folders a certain way, and am unsure if it's the same way the game draws the text itself.  I will have to check it out, but I'm a bit intimidated as I'm not a coder at all.

I'm still learning how things are working myself. If you could point me to examples of which animations you are referring to in game. I could take a look. I haven't actually sat down and played the game in a while. I'm figuring out which pallet to use as I need to draw something. I could export the info we have to a csv or xml file. But, we'll know more in the future.

Sorry about the download link everyone - I've fixed it and everything should work now.
 
I don't know if you guys have talked and fixed already this. In that case, sorry :P. Just wanted to help.

I'm using 3.2 spanish version.
Squall's thought windows look dark grey, and they should be transparent.

Here is an example:

I fixed it by editing 'iconflmaster_14.png' file, located in '\FINAL FANTASY VIII\textures\ic\iconflmaster'.
What I did was just make the background part 50% transparent by using Photoshop. (Marked in red)

Here you have the final result:

As you can see, it works, and the regular text windows look still perfectly. Look at the next screenshot to check it.

On other hand, I'm having another little issue with the spanish version. I'm showing you two more screenshots from EN and SP game respectively.

Ok I was looking into this out of curiosity and those last screenshots of the colored menu just made me make a hole in my desktop HOLLY DAMN THAT LOOKS AMAZING! I which it was possible to have a slider so we could do more customization without having to edit it with external programs like photoshop

just Woah!

This -will- be available in Spanish by next week. Until then, here is a little present to the community.
A (quite large) package of color options available for SeeDReborn 4.0a (soon to be included with SeeDReborn 4.1)

Unpack these folders anywhere, but make sure that once you pick a color from the list of folders that you copy the 'ic' folder inside to 'steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/textures/'
Simply merge the files and write over the 2 or 3 textures it prompts for!

SeeDReborn Gradients (for English 4.0a and 4.1)
 
personally I love the last 2 colors I can not wait for all this out in french :D ^^
 
oh! great! but I'll wait until next week then so it comes out in spanish version :) also do you have an installer for this or is it manual instal? I ask because i don't know how to mod FF8 hehe ^^'

neither can I for the Spanish release! :D


---EDIT---

uhm... I think I'm having some issues. I downloaded the Spanish version 3.2 (and of course the base 3.2 english one) but I'm not gettign any colors and don't have the gunblade icon, which leads me to think that I'm messing up somewhere when installing the mod's folders, unless this changes where not on spanish 3.2 version of this mod which would be a shame :/
