I N S T A L L _ G U I D E

[size=10pt]IF YOU DON'T HAVE MOGURI INSTALLED
1) Extract and replace the files in the .zip to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\

IF YOU HAVE MOGURI INSTALLED (not required!)
1) If you installed it before 2020-04-2, uninstall and re-install Moguri again (SquareEnix pushed a Steam update that temporarily broke the game and Moguri)
2) Extract the content of StreamingAssets in \Program Files (x86)\Moguri Mod\StreamingAssets\
3) Extract \x64\FF9_Data\resources.assets & \x64\FF9_Data\sharedassets2.assets to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\x64\FF9_Data\
   but DON'T replace Assembly-CSharp.dll

To check you have the right version, here's how the first frame should look
X6tHnEA.jpg



1) In steam, right click the game, go to "properties...", go to the LOCAL FILES tab, click VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES. This will re-download the original files, but your saves are still intact.


p0data2.bin - Battle backgrounds
p0data3.bin - Worldmap textures
p0data4.bin - NPC, monsters and background items
p0data11.bin to p0data19.bin - Main backgrounds
resources.assets & sharedassets2.assets - UI stuff (maps, title screen...)
Assembly-CSharp.dll - The patched file that allows for the augmented resolution of backgrounds. (The one here and the one in moguri are different)

Note: If you have uninstalled Moguri and/or Memoria and you have names like ZidaneZidane, ViviVivi, you can salvage your save with this tool: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/7672/
Note: Alternate Fantasy is not currently supported.

Hello good, I have a version of the game ff9 that is not steam, I install the moguri mod and when I start the screen goes black Can someone give me a hand?

This don´t work to me, the only method that work is this:

1. install game and make back up of sharedassets2.assets

2. install moguri mod.

3. download this https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/13930/  (is a post of SNOUZ)

4. overwrite the sharedassets2.assets of moguri mod with this (or the original)

5. the blue mark don´t appear now and you can use the menu.


If you have problems now with the battles (like me), the BTC are stop, then dissapear and you can do nothing in combat.

This is a problem of Assembly-CSharp, With this archive I have problems, I used the 8.0.1 version, but the backgrounds are broke, if I put original archive, the character is crazy, walk only, is impossible to play.

Please Snouz, fix these errors!!

If somebody have the solution to the battle error, please, help me.

Thanks for the method to remove the blue mark, it worked for me.

I have the same battle error as you, where the BTC are stop, then dissapear and you can do nothing in combat. Did you get any solution to fix this in version 8.2.1.2?

got around to checking the official site, and see the offset issue was already fixed when i posted it... sorry about that, thought i had the newest version

but anyway, i installed 8.2.1.2 on top of 8.2.0.0. without uninstalling either the game or mod and to my surprise it worked, put the p0data2 that you posted back in and the offset is gone

made it through cleyra and i remember in the last moguri i played cleyra was just rife with bugs and glitches in the scrolling sky, with widescreen, and also some of the upscaled textures (bound to happen with all the flora)

and almost every bit of it has been fixed! went from being the least improved scenes to being the most improved, i felt the tears that undoubtedly fell during this overhaul, incredible work!


out of 100 gamers playing, 100 are impressed

orichalcon is quite impressed

the gargant trolley scrolling is a bit off, idk if the fog can be extended across the whole x-axis or not

edit: and the fog keeps the scrolling effect even after the party gets off the trolley and the background stops scrolling

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme..._Gargan_Roo_Last_Stop_2020-09-23_22-35-04.mp4

i thought it was just a widescreen issue, but seems to persist even without widescreen when i hit alt+space

Anyone know why the square button has become the back button all of a sudden instead of circle?

Any status update on the scaled battle ui? Steam update broke it right?

So I've installed this alongside AF but I still get black bars on the side causing it to cut off dialog boxes etc. I have tried typing Widescreen=True in the settings.ini to no avail. I can onlt run 4:3 on 1920x1080. Cannot get widescreen to work. Any ideas? I am using 8.2.1.2 btw.

I selected 1920x1080 in the launcher. My monitor is also a 1080p screen. Thank you for replying btw. Hopefully I’m just being dumb and it’s an easy fix lol

hi guys, but the behemoth who defeats himself in the armory in Toleno kills everyone with one shot but is this normal? is there a way to beat it?
 
O
i posted earlier that scaled battle ui was working with 8.2.1.2, i was wrong, it was working with 8.2.0.0 but not latest version after all, those two versions came out pretty close to each other i think and really threw me off... but anyway

adding an additional world map texture to my gripe list: the bulk of the deserts

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...62425700225253397/FF9_2020-09-30_21-17-32.png

the forests and look amazing, the grasslands look good, can see some tiling but i wouldnt expect all that to be fixed, but the desert just looks blurred/faded compared to the rest of the textures on the outer continent, just the way (to me) the mountains did on the mist continent


edit: here is a better screenshot of the differences in quality between features

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...62431531456790548/FF9_2020-10-04_16-48-00.png

the qu marsh and surrounding area looks freakin' sick!
by contrast the desert area almost looks unmodded


edit2: for me, the tinkling scene was messed up

Hello, the archive of Moguri Mod is impossible to open and unpack. I have downloaded the it 3 times(5GB each time) and the rar results always "damaged or in an unknown format. There is a problem with the source of download?

Hello,
First of all, want to say that I'm really happy with this mod overall, amazing amount of work there for sure.
But there're some problems still present, mostly with sound. For example, airship sound is broken like in this random playthrough
I think I saw some discussions about it earlier, but it's not really clear what to do to fix it actually
