Help changing text in FF8.

[shadowintel]

Hello all I'm new to this


I've seen some greats things here and i want to get involved.

Where can i get started? I would like to edit files so i can change text or something.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I think no program has been made for editing text in FF8 yet.

I think you should find those two links usefull : 
https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/5377/ &  https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/5565/ 

The second one was meant for those who want to fully translate the game, as Colly did in Polish.

nikfrozty, you should check the first link. As Colly says :

FF8, of course, have enough modding tools

That link already gives you info on what to do. Although the 2nd link giving you hexediting is very hard to do. What I was trying to imply was there was no program for ff8 that is as good as loveless or makou reactor for ff7 that is easy to use.

Did you check Moomba? It can edit normal dialogues and texts on world map. You can edit battle dialogues, too, but you have to extract text section with hexeditor (it's simple).

Now I work on the next version of Moomba, which can handle PSX version of the game.
