Thankyou!!! Now i need only Project Eden but i see that the torrent have a lot of seeds so i think the problem is solved for me! I'll surely remain in seed hoping it could help

Hi. I've been lurking around for a while and I'd be very interested in taking a look at the code.

I'm new to DLL injection and reversing in general but I'm decent with C/C++.

Thanks very much for this tool btw.

Hey guys, thanks a lot for your interest in this mod, it was a lot of fun making it. I've decided to post the source code and you'll find a download link in the main post. Be aware that I hadn't intended on releasing it until I had a chance to revamp the hashing algorithms, so some of this code will change in the future. I'm sorry I haven't had much time lately to work on this but I'm happy I was able to get people a little more excited about FF8 in the meantime. My policy on my mods is always that you have complete freedom to take them, use them, modify them, and even release derivative works--just give a line of credit in your release and do not draw any monetary profit from my links or releases. I think if you make something, including a derivative work, it is fine to solicit donations, but I encourage you to retain these same policies of openness for whatever you make so we can always further the modding community on every front. I'm feeling too tired to figure out which open source license I'm describing, so if anyone knows, educate us  :-P
 
If you want to license, a CC BY-SA 3.0 should do the trick :) (here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/)
It authorize to share and adapt (modify) but ask to keep crediting the original author and the share or modified content must have the same license.
I'm not a pro about licenses and stuff, but it seems good enough to me ^^

Why not make a GITHub? Then the code is online and anyone is free to pull from, and modify it, You'll have to accept pull requests to merge the changes into master. But a lot of online communities do that with programs, it ensures the program is never lost as well :D
 
i'm very confused, I have no idea how to install this.

I extracted Tonberry into my FF8 Steam Folder, and it does nothing...
Why do you have to make this so complicated for people who are not very good with these sort of things?

can someone help me out?

I agree, GitHub is a definite must for most programs like these.
 
You should do it yourself. Then, whenever you make a change to the code, you upload it. It doesn't mean you have to update everytime.

If you want, I'll help you set up Git in PM.
 
Hello,
is there someone who runs Tonberry on an Linux machine? I know that the program is written for Windows, but i have no windows and try to install it. No success in the moment. I installed Tonberry and Seed Reborn into the root folder / texture folder and start the game. Game starts without error, but there is no change ingame.

I think the problem is the dll injection? With winetricks i installed VC2010.

Maybe one of you have an idea what to do to get Tonberry working.

Greetins
(and sorry for the bad english ....)
 
Linux user here.
I tried some time ago to get Tonberry working but couldn't either.

something tells me it's how the injection is made...
if the code ever goes public I'll be happy to take a look.

:?


Isn't there a 'source code only' download?
 
This is a very noobish question, but for some reason, my version of the Steam game does not use the same folder hierarchy that it shows in the tutorial. In fact, by default, there is no Textures folder, only when you unzip the Eden mod is there one. But on my PC, there is no C:\Program Files (x86)\Final Fantasy VIII\Textures, at all. Instead, it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Final Fantasy VIII.   However, when I installed Eden and Tonberry as per instructions, the background Jpeg files were still 320 x 240 and not the smooth ones. What am I doing wrong? Did I install these incorrectly or are they not compatible with the Steam version?  I don't know why the folder hierarchy is so weird, but, no matter what I do, the updated backgrounds are not working and I can't find the original ones that were installed to replace.
