Yeah, I did too. I installed this mod last and my game works just fine. Like lee said, just be sure to follow the instructions thoroughly.
 
There should be no problem with the order you install the mods. Either way will work as my mod unpacks the lgp's you have, inserts what it needs to, then repacks them.

Who ever said this community wasn't helpful was most definately full of of himself!

I'll apply the patches and post back if any issues arise.

Thanks.

edit : Tried it out.  Here are the patches I've applied :

- yamp 9999 limit
- WMRP
- this one (beta 8 + summon)
- apzcloud
- new spell patch (to have curaga, firaga, etc.)
- yamp mdef patch
- hay's reasonable mod
- PRP
- ff7music
- aali's ogl driver
- 1.02

Works great so far.  The only comment I would have is that I find some of the  limit bars a bit too birght which makes them hard to read.  Apart from that, awesome job.

Yo. There is a fix on here that someone brought up about the limit bars. It was a few pages back. And sl1982 posted the correct textures to those limit bars. They aren't on the first page though, so you will have to search a few pages back to find them.

EDIT: Nvm man, I found them for you. You can thank me later :P

Looks good, but moving away from the original a bit too much. Ill include it in a seperate addon for people that want colored icons if that is what people wish.
 
Wow, i'm liking the colored icons alot.  It is definitly be a good idea to include them seperately, but wow!

thats what i love about you starting this project dude, different people can have very different looking games if they want to.
ill post a pic and the texures when im finished dude, prob like tomorrow.
keep up the good work :mrgreen:
 
I'm sceptical about how good coloured icons would look in game. They may look good when they are on their own, but having lots of small coloured icons on a solid blue background with light grey/white text looks messy. They might just work on a grey background.

They should definitely be a separate mod.
 
Not going to lie, it does look colorful, but I would stick back to the ol' gray ones, hehe.  :-)
 
Personally, my opinion is that adding color seems to detract from the overall serious tone of the game, as well as the cold, gritty, technopunk aesthetic.

Final Fantasy IX was less serious, and overall more vibrant in aesthetic and tone, so colored icons worked there. FF's VII and VIII just don't have the right mood for it; My opinion.


The contrast and such may be tweaked and may even produce better looks afterward, but I made the icons as close to the originals (without pixeling each by hand) as possible.


On another note, the coloring doesn't look bad from a technical standpoint. In fact the color choice on a few of them is impeccable, and rivals such that I would use if I were to color them.

Essentially, your work isn't bad, I just feel it doesn't fit.
 
ooOOooo looks like team avalanche has got it's own project page. I think those icons are hit and miss... the accessory icon looks nice, however i feel as though the barret weapon icon is kind of... incomplete looking.

I think colored icons can be a good idea so long as it's done well.
 
I think halkun was joking. :-)

But yeah, I gave him the mod rights while I created the forum, and on his request to timu sumisu as well. It's pretty much in line with the policy on the other project forums.

As for the forum, Qhimm himself would have added it, but moar important business he has, right nao.
 
Just wondering how progress is going sl, i am FINALLY getting around to playing so i should have some reviews and hopefully no bug reports  :-D

Progress is slow at the moment. Working on all the final art for the menu_us.lgp.

Also working on a decent installer that will hopefully get rid of all the problems the batch file had

Wow thats lookin pretty good. Yeah with a GUI i know a lot more people will use it, Simply because it looks prettier.

You also might want to have it make automatic back ups of the original files if possible. That would also help with upgrading as i know it's always best to use fresh lgp's when modifying them.
