Sorry to double post, but version 1.3 is now available. The HP value is type short, which means the cap is 32,767.

Thanks for the quick turn around!
 
Thanks Phun, next I'm gonna see for damage, if its even possible that is. Highest damage I can do (with crticals which is every attack  :lol: ) Is around 10000 maybe a little bit more.

It is. Take a look at the screenshot in my previous thread.

Have you considered 999 Items?   :-D

255 is the item cap.
 
Hi there,

When I try de execute the "Multipatcher.exe" a little message tell me that the "MSVCR100.dll" can't be found.

Somebody can help me ? Maybe it's because I'm working on vista.

Thanks  :-D
 
Download: FF8Launcher 1.4

FF8Launcher (formerly known as "Plug-in Manager") is a simple application which manages the use of various add-ons created by myself and the Final Fantasy VIII community.

Installation:


  • 1. Extract FF8Launcher.exe and the Add-on folder to your Final Fantasy VIII directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VIII).
  • 2. Extract msvcr100.dll to your system32 directory (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32) or your Final Fantasy VIII directory.

Interface:


  • Start Game - Starts FF8.exe with the selected add-on(s).
  • Re\De\Select All - Re\De\Selects all items in the list.

Using magixts' DirectX 6 hook is possible with some common sense (though I would recommend Aali's graphics driver).

Instructions:


  • 1. Place dx_hook.dll and config.cfg in the Add-on directory.
  • 2. Change the settings in config.cfg with Notepad.

Note: The 8-bit Paletted Textures can be changed from 0 to 1 (off/on) and the Custom Resolutions can be changed from 0 to 20 (640x480 to 2560x1920).

List of Add-ons:



Note: The Hard add-on will decrease the player's melee damage by a factor of 1.5, increase the level of enemies by a factor of 1.1, and increase the melee damage of enemies by a factor of 1.1; this does not effect magic damage. PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK AND REPORT ANY ERRORS!

I love you for the magic patch, that was really my only gripe about FF8. and you fixed it. THANK YOU! :-D
 
Phun, you have made the happiest person on earth!  :mrgreen: Thanks a lot for the magic plug-in  :-D
 
Does this work for the psx version?? can someone confirm this?

Of course, if you can find "C:\Program Files" inside your PSX:
Installation:


  • 1. Extract the files to your Final Fantasy VIII directory (i.e. C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VIII).

Phun, great job! :)
 
I'm in the process of re-making this (same interface) so I can release the source. The code is very messy and I want to clean it up a bit.

Good news: I did a bit of poking around on MSDN and found a way to play MP3 files without the use of a third party library (albeit unorthodox), which means I can continue developing the Music plug-in. The only downside is that it will not be compatible on x64 machines (64-bit is not the standard, yet).

I don't know about that, it's pretty much cheating. At least GFs have health in addition to being able to use them as many times as you want.

Anyways, great job on this Phun. This could be very useful in the near future.

EDIT: How about a transparent dialog boxes patch just like the one in FF7? Would something like that be hard to do?
