Let’s keep it “Simple and Clean”!

Audio Modding

Audio Modding is a task that requires good ear and sometimes between trial and error you got a good loop.

First of all there things you need to know before you proceed or ask:

• The Audio Mods I’m publishing are related to the Roses & Wine main Audio Mod. I have added my own modified tracks from other albums of Nobuo Uematsu in his 3 albums of the Black Mages discography, and other tracks are related to the universe of FF Dissidia.
• There are especific audio mods related to background music or stage, such the battle in Dollet. The new samples replaces the old ones located in FINAL FANTASY VIIIDataMusicstream
• At this point I don’t know how to modify sound effects of the game. Probably in a near future with some research is possible to change the FX in the same way Roses and Wine did with the old pc midi soundtrack.

ok. Now I will put a list of the tracks I have modified. The original content belongs to their authors and the intention to put this audio mods is to enhance the playability of FF8, not to damage the game or Square Enix.

Replace the content of the original files located in FINAL FANTASY VIIIDataOGG

Tonberry – General Information and Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, it’s MCINDUS from the qhimm.com forums!
I’ve decided to create this section to help those of you better understand the Tonberry troubleshooting process along with some general do-s and don’t-s.

MAJOR ISSUES:
– Tonberry uses DirectX9 Injection, so any other mods
like SweetFX currently CAN’T BE USED at the same time!
– Turn OFF the Steam overlay.
In Steam/Settings/In-Game/ and un-check the box that says “Enable the Steam Overlay”
– ALL texture mods will go in the following folder:
/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/textures/

READ this. Even if it’s TL. 🙂

First things first:
*Get Tonberry and follow all instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download Tonberry 2.04.
2. Install Tonberry into your FF8 Steam application folder.
(/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/)<—*put Tonberry HERE*

Now you should have Tonberry!
6. Let’s double check. These are the files/folders and where they should be:

Two new folders should appear in your FINAL FANTASY VIII application folder:
/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/textures/
/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/tonberry/

The files that are necessary for Tonberry to function should be HERE:
/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/d3d9.dll
/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/d3d9Callback.dll
/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/zlib1.dll

Thanks everyone from both Omzy and myself for using Tonberry and it’s many great texture mods! Come check us out on forums.qhimm.com for more FF8 and FF7 mods!
