[FF9 PC] Moguri Mod update 8.2 (LIVE ON OFFICIAL SITE)

Taneruit · Apr 4, 2020

Almost makes me hopefully someone at square-enix is actually working on their forgotten ports

Square Enix update policies are a thing not understandable by mere mortals. Like that FF3 patch they pushed out of nowhere or randomly removing Denuvo from Octopath Traveler while leaving it on all their other games.

The worst case being FFXV Steam version which is unplayable now because of an update linked to Steamworks, while the Origin and Windows Store versions work just fine. I can't play FFXV with my Steam version and don't want to spend 60 euros for the complete Origin version. What a shame...
Square Enix never released an awesome port for their FF solo games on PC. Only online games like FFXIV ARR are well done.

Ok I'm almost done with a number of aspect of the update.

What I'll do is create a new thread for each aspect with a download:

-creatures/items/npc

-some minor ui stuff

-battle backgrounds

+ updating worldmap textures

Each thread will serve to collect feedback.

As for the scene backgrounds, I still have to correct some things, and I have trouble contacting zePilot. I need to contact him because this part is partially based on his work. We'll then proceed to put everything together in Moguri in one central download.

"Scene Backgrounds" means backgrounds masks? :'( So if zePilot won't show up the main content of this mod will remain unfinished? Someone find that man!!!

In case you want to use the occasion to fix that bug:

Code:
You can try a hacky fix like that until the modder(s) of Memoria fixes the problem [of the SFX being misplaced in widescreen mode]:

1) Download the tool dnSpy,
2) Open the Assembly-CSharp.dll using that tool,
3) Search for the class "SFXMesh" and its method "End", then right-click -> Edit Method,
4) Replace the 5 first lines of the method by these (the first and last lines being replaced should be the same as the lines replacing them):
Code: [Select]

Code:

this.mesh.Clear(); int[] array = new int[this.ibOffset]; Buffer.BlockCopy(this.ibIndex, 0, array, 0, this.ibOffset << 2); Vector3[] meshvert = this.vbPos; for (int k = 0; k<this.vbOffset; ++k) meshvert[k].x = meshvert[k].x + 50f; this.mesh.vertices = meshvert; this.mesh.colors32 = this.vbCol;

5) "Compile" then "File -> Save Module".

Maybe the SFX will still be shifted a bit in-game. If that's the case, use a different number than "50f" in the code above (use a number higher to shift to the right of the screen and lower to shift to the left).

Note that if the SFX gets fixed with the widescreen mode, it will then bug with the non-widescreen mode.

I recently bought Final Fantasy IX on Steam after I found out about the Moguria Mod to play this masterpiece again since the first release on the PSX.
Now I've done some research in the modding scene so find out if there is a way to change the XBox Controller layout with the Playstation Controller layout and what I get is this awesome rework!
Of cause I will wait for this release to start my playthrough!
Because the progress shows 100% for some time I hope it will be released soon. Any News about it?

To make this more than awesome, is there a way to implement the option to choose between PSX and XBox layout?

Sign me in for a Beta if possible!
Unbelievable work you have done!

Thanks for the other threads containing the releases. Everything looks amazing so far. Any ETA window on the scene backgrounds though? just curious. Thanks a Bunch~! Cheers.

I've been working on the wordmap textures for the last few days, now that it's out of the way, I'm doing the backgrounds full time.

Rafinhasss · Apr 15, 2020

These are very cool textures

It has become much more beautiful.
As I understand it, the background textures in the cities remained in the work?

snouz · Apr 15, 2020

It's in the works. I finished "playing/testing" the game today, and I've done screenshots of bugs between terra and the end. I now have 186 new screenshots to help me correct bugs in sanctuaries/branval/pandemonium/memoria/crystalworld, then I'll release a "beta" for people willing to test it.

I've noticed a few problems with other parts (npc/battle scenes/...) and create a new version of that too.

snouz · Apr 15, 2020

I must confess I was working on and off on this for the last 2 weeks because...

Mount & Blade II Bannerlord came out and I've been waiting for this game since its announcement in 2012. Before modding FFIX, I modded Mount & Blade Warband (Prophesy of Pendor mod). Anyway, this has nothing to do with anything : )

decency_breakin3 · Apr 15, 2020

No but its understandable. you got love for those projects just like we all have love for these ones. cant work on them 24/7. just wanted to say i appreciate all the hard work and i check for updates daily. thank you for the fast reply.
