It's a shame SE is so lazy these days they couldn't change the Battle UI from the phone port. This mod is BEAUTIFUL and IX is my favorite FF in the series, yet I still can't play because of the stupid Battle UI. I just can't do it. It's hideous and I can't see strawberries. But I wanted to say thanks to everyone involved with this Mod. Maybe one day someone can fix that stupid Battle UI!

I feel you on this one. It's one of the main things stopping me from doing a proper play through. There is a battle scale UI mod out there but for the life of me I can't get it working with Moguri in any version or even the vanilla game. It's especially annoying because they patched the Ps4 version Battle UI but just left the phone crap on this version.
If we could just get the battle scale UI mod officially merged with this one, we'd have a perfect overhaul of the game here.

I've also known about and had difficult times getting that mod to work. I've brought up my issues on the Steam page tutorial and the nexus comments. The author has only responded to me a couple times about a year or so ago. I've just recently posted some pics of my issues and haven't heard anything. The battle UI is truly the last and only thing keeping me from playing my favorite FF. A full playthrough that I've been wanting to do since they ported it to PC haha.

Open Memoria.ini in the game directory

[Graphics]
BattleFPS = 15 original fps
BattleSwirlFrames = 115 original fps curtains

I was thinking battleswirlframes is actually the length of the animation itself. I set it to 0 and it skips the godawful swirl completely, which is awesome.

I've been playing this a bunch these past couple weeks using the v3 beta install, and checked for an update just in time to see the full release so I updated over top of the install I had.

Unfortunately it popped up some error of file issues, which I didn't get a screencap of, so I uninstalled the mod and tried again, getting this error during installation:

If I hit enter the installation seems to finish as normal, but the game just runs as a vanilla install.

Hey everyone, I updated the website to help people with install problems.

https://sites.google.com/view/moguri-mod/install#h.p_udGnIf1i45sc -> ini configurable options (yes we put 24 fps by accident, it should be 15 for normal battle speed.

Also, you should not have any issue if: you have your game on C:/ and launch the mod as administrator.

ALSO, I've opened a TRELLO for myself for work on 8.1 https://trello.com/b/ALj8oGIi/moguri-81

funny you should mention that, i argued with zepilot a few years ago on steam forums about this, i NEVER got it to work on anything but a C: drive, (installer doesnt detect the game, so had to type the path of the game, and even when you did that it just didnt work)

i never did get it to work on my desktop pc (the C drive was small and too close to full)

Just letting everyone know that TehMighty just released an update to his Scaled Battle UI mod to work with Moguri 8. I'm happy to report this update installed first time with know issues. He has also implemented a feature that let's the user move the UI in battle to a custom position to eliminate issues at different resolutions. Simply press "U" while in battle to move the right side. Press "U" again to move the left side.

I did this and it worked. I closed my game, restarted and the positions were saved. Finally this UI is fixed and we can enjoy a beautiful FFIX with the original battle UI!! Happy freaking day!

Took me a number of bug reports to nail the bug to that, since people's description of a problem is often lacking in details and loose in precision, but now with the bug pinpointed, zePilot will hopefully be able to correct it. You confirm that it's the GAME that needs to be installed on C:/ ? there's no problem when the MOD is installed elsewhere, correct?

He just contacted me about it, I just updated the website to announce compatibility : ) I didn't know about the new feature, that's great! I'll test that right now!

KaidenJames · May 31, 2020

I forgot to say you have to press "U" a third time to end the movement process and get back to in game control.

i actually have no idea, this was an older version close to the beginning i think

i know i've always installed moguri inside in the FFIX root folder to keep both it and the game together

but honestly to this day and even though i've never had issues with it on this pc i have my steam library set up so that every game except FFIX is installed on another drive
but keep the C: library available to install FFIX and moguri in default locations... i consider it just mandatory OS space now, to install Win10 on my machine i need a minimum of 30GB for windows + 20GB for FFIX and moguri on a C: drive or no deal

I tried to use the Scaled Battle UI mod, but with Moguri 8 Beta V5, and it seems to cause some issues....

Can anyone confirm whether the battle UI mod only works with the 8.0 release? That would be a bummer if that's the case, since it looks like the game HAS to be install on C: with that version of Moguri.

magitek · Jun 1, 2020

I have just installed moguri 8.0 on the game in drive D: without any problems. I didn't even know it was an issue, is it really?

BTW, awesome job!

As this was always the case, at least for me, I needed to download the optional manual files and do what is written in the read me (it's really easy).

And I can confirm that it works.

Mmmh... I'm still in the dark about this, I cannot reproduce the problem, and don't have access to zePilot's installer code.

Does launching the installer as administator solves it?

Errors I keep getting. I tried running as admin but did not help.

couldnt get the Scaled UI installer to work on 2 different rigs. Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. it creates a Memoria.ini file and does nothing. cycles for a few seconds. even with all safe guards disabled. tried compatibility modes. nothing. there is a manual option but the part about editing the INI is confusing. : (

The ini should be something like that:

Under [Graphics], add
ScaledBattleUI = 1

[System]
Enabled=1
StreamingAssets="C:\Program Files\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets"

Then put tehmightyassets in C:\Program Files\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets and run the patcher from the game directory.

But that's be nice for him to describe the install problems you had with the non-manual version: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy9/mods/11?tab=bugs
