"Hm... well, using a few tweaks, I seem to be able to broadcast on Steam just fine using GeDoSaTo and Tonberry! I haven't had the chance to try this while getting an achievement, but it works! The one downside is that you can't pull up the overlay using Shift+Tab or the game crashes. I set my Steam Settings to not display any messages in the Overlay when I get chats or when I take a screenshot, but I can take screenshots to boot!

Let me know if you want to test this!"

i got a problem with this getosado, i have rose and wine so i chosed the raw folder and followed everything correct but when i set correctly the resolution 3xxx on launcher...game is not on full screen, its Windowed. Tried to Force some setting but i don't know what to do, can you help me?

Hello! You may be able to help me with some glitches with some of the graphics mods. My game crashes whenever I use certain commands in battle such as Defend, and a few Limit Breaks such as Lion Heart or Angelo Cannon. Which textures should I disable or should I wait for an update on the mods?

[LeonhartGR]

Post in the qhimm forum threads! You'll receive better support there and error/issue reporting is useful for improving the mods! :)

Hey Leonhart! You should put Berrymapper in Tools, and Rebirth Flame in 'Graphics' because it's an actual texture mod. (It's THE texture mod)

[LeonhartGR]

As a co-creator are you able to add/arrange the mods by editing the guide? Please feel free to do as you consider wise since it's a lot of work (I'm updating 3 different threads about those mods for people to be informed regularly) and I'm a bit confused sometimes. Thanks!

P.S.: Let me know whenever and which changes you make when you make them so as I can update this discussion thread too which unhopefully isn't becoming bloody sticky!

By MaKiPL: "[FF8] Battle Stage to OBJ converter has been updated to 1.1. Fixed the triangles, added magic button. "

Tonberry: Enhanced v2.03[forums.qhimm.com] by JeMaCheHi[forums.qhimm.com] (aka Jay C) and mavirick[forums.qhimm.com] UPDATED! NEW VERSION

What's new?:
2.03:
2.02 broke collision resolution--textures from the collisions.csv hashmap were not properly stored in the cache, which caused bad replacements and glitching textures especially on loading screens and in menus; this issue is resolved


Known issues:

Some users are experiencing random crashes when using Tonberry with Project Eden. If you are having this or any other issue please post here with details so I can look into it. Until more is known about the crash, my best advice would be to save frequently.
The overlay is still not supported by Tonberry and should be either disabled or circumvented using Mcindus' GeDoSaTo configuration.

Tonberry: Enhanced v2.03[forums.qhimm.com] by JeMaCheHi[forums.qhimm.com] (aka Jay C) and mavirick[forums.qhimm.com] UPDATED! NEW VERSION

What's new?:
2.04:
- Persistent textures - modders now have the ability to designate textures as "persistent," meaning they will never be removed from the cache.
- Significant performance improvements - Tonberry should be running faster than ever due to some major cache optimizations and an improvement to the way we handle the core textures.
**cache_size should be no more than 250 to prevent memory overflow exceptions

Why do I need Tonberry and some other mod to use the controller fix? I don't want to modify the original game, I just want actual controller buttons and the original audio from the psx version :/

It's not that simple. Tonberry is an external texture support mod, and you need those external textures to change the silly B3, B4, etc. textures.

You want to use a mod that doesn't "mod"ify the original game. How is something like that even possible? If you're looking for native support, then get in touch with the developers of the original game.
