hi, i have been trying to use ur garden program, which had been created using ur source code. i can decompile the data ffiles and edit the text files. but when i compile them again. the game doesnt work. all the de-compiled data stays the same and the actual files in the install directory all go to 0kb.(fied.fl)etc...
so since u have done this already i was wondering if u could help me out
 
First...

What OS are you running...

2nd, How much did you edit, and did you change any of the actual characters (i.e. Pix, or whatever).
 
The operating system i am using is windows xp.
The only thing i did was to change the scripts in the game....only the  text files. but when i compile the data files again, i never get anywhere.
 
The Garden version that was released wasn't even official. I've never used it, but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the modifications it makes to FF8 don't work (unless Qhimm tells you differently--and if he doesn't say anything, it's because he's not going to.)
Sorry, but you may be out of luck.
 
I think garden is kinda pre-alpha.. meaning there are lots of bugs.. there always seems to be a thread popping up about it as well.. But eh.. as cool as it would be if it worked i dont think Qhimm is going to touch it again.. i think he has stated that before.. Perhaps if he gets bored..  8)
 
Hell...about a year back I used it...the source had like 2 dead links, but once u removed or changed them, it worked good for me ^_^.  I changed the plot...it was funny.  Ate up 2 much space though...like 2 gb decompressed :-X
 
Hi!

I know that the source code is obtainable for the Garden program, but does anybody know if I can obtain a .exe version of the program. The source code is kind of useless to me, and even though it is a pre-release program, I could still probably find some use for it...  :D

xeriouxi.
 
Hi!

Thanks for the link, Jedimark!  :wink:

I'll have a lot of fun making my own script if that function is working...  :D

xeriouxi.
 
Hi!
Garden program compile only dialog files (FIELD) :( . The rest don't work. If you want compile Menu, Main, Battle or World, you must use another program (for example FF8:AC by M4v3R - http://forums.qhimm.com/viewtopic.php?t=3373).
Sometimes Garden can not compile FIELD too (then you have 0 KB in field.fi, etc). Check - if your project file (.GPR) have 1209 KB, this is bad - compile not working :( . Then you have to use correct GPR file, who has 1409 KB.[/b]

EDIT:
SephirothPL - you are from Poland?
So enter on Subarashii Fantasy and download Garden (Download section\Final Fantasy VIII PL\Pakiet FF8PL). This archive include Garden.

Click to expand...

When I wrote that post I was trying to explain that Garden is not really supported here. It is possible to compile because I did it awhile ago, (a long while ago) but there are MANY bugs in it.

Garden is offered basically as a program that is semi-functional, but if you lack knowledge of programming you might want to give up on it.

If someone can help you you will be lucky, and I dont mean for that to sound rude, so please don't take it that way.
 
Garden is in its alpha version, so there are still several bugs. Also, the lzs compression algorithm is not the one FF8.exe used, which means you may got a much bigger one if you compile the field.fs sucessfully. Actually I got a field.fs more than 700M when I only modify two of the .msd files.
Now I write a program for compile/decompile all the .fs stuffs., using the same compress method FF8.exe used. It is running on the console however.
