Grandia II: Anniversary Edition; Possible mod community in the future?

[ZL325]

I just bought the steam version release, and looking through it's directory and subfolders, it looks to be rather easy to mod the game.
Pretty much all the texture files are in a .dds format, which can be easily viewed and edited, as well as spreadsheets used for what texture is being loaded for certain char, enemies, etc. You can even turn on debug mode through FIELD.INI and SYSTEM.INI easily.

There are more than just those things which look to be easily edited as well. The only thing that may be difficult are the 3D models. Granted it already received some improved visuals, but I believe more can be done.

People have already started modding it, nothing much right now, mostly testing what can and cannot be done, someone is looking into fixing the interface.

Music is in .ogg format, so throwing in alternate looped files is easy.

Oh nice, I hadn't known about that, thanks. ^_^

There's a few interface updates here http://www.eivigames.com.br/p/grandia-ii.html

I've been trying to upscale Ryudo's textures with waifu2x but there's multiple versions and none seem to be the right ones so far, once I figure it out then I'll do the whole party.

A way to import custom models would be nice, as the characters are pretty blocky.

Looks nice. ^_^

Some textures have .dat files associated with them and changing them breaks the game and/or textures.

Haven't looked in a while so I don't know if there's been a workaround.

Looking really good and the game is back on sale on steam.

Hello. I'm the maker of Grandia II HD Mod, and just wanted to let you know that I changed many more stuff since the first versions, so I invite you all to check the newer version.

And Tekkie.X, I also made a mod for Ryudo's texture that changes him into a Super Saiyan. In the mod there's a .bat file that copies the texture to the necessary places, so you can check it out to see where you have to put them. For the other characters, you'd have to use something like DupeGuru to find the duplicates. That's how I discovered where Ryudo's textures were.
