Angelwing: Ultima - Remastered v1.0.a
Added 2021-05-06 06:50:49 +0000 UTCHello wonderful Patrons!
You have waited long enough.
After over a year in the making, with thousands of hours spent on the project from AI Rendering, to 3D Modeling, to Custom Artwork, we finally bring you, the members:
Angelwing-Ultima v1.0.alpha!
Pre-Rendered Field backgrounds for Final Fantasy 8 Remastered
(2013 version will be out soon!)
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.TXT in the Mod Folder!
When you install DEMASTER, do NOT install the FFVIII Launcher that it comes with!
These BGs have been Upscaled from dozens of AI models, custom comped by myself, as well as custom work and touch-ups included by myself and several contributions from guest artists. This mod fixes the largest issue with the current Remastered version, replacing the terrible blurry backgrounds! It includes custom baked NPCs (even animated ones!), custom fonts, hand-drawn fields, and more!
It's not perfect, and there are a few bugs, so please post any you find in the Angelwing Bug Reports chat section in the Discord. (Check the about section for the link). Once we gather and fix the bugs, I'll do a full public release to coincide with a Lunatic Pandora Remastered release in 4-6 weeks.
One major current issue is that the semi-transparent textures are still getting decimated by a low resolution filter in the background process of the game. (This is very obvious in Esthar and several other areas). This should be fixed in the next few weeks, and once it is, you will immediately see the change in-game once you update to a newer version of DEMASTER.

Thank you so much FatedCourage, Maki, Sebanisu, Manakaiser, Darziak, and more!
Happy Modding!!!

Eli
2022-06-25 10:09:48 +0000 UTCSorry if I'm asking a stupid question that has been answered some time ago but i installed the mod and all the backgrounds got blurry after installation. Did i mess something up with the install order or do you know what could fix it?

2022-05-27 23:33:14 +0000 UTCHello, i just want to say this is incredible. Realy Good Work !!!
Benjamin Pilgrim
2022-05-11 10:18:59 +0000 UTCwith the current update on th demaster you can no longer use the regular launcher with dinput8.dll in your folder. if you simply want to change the resolution or change the volume a similar menu is present ingame by pressing escape. if you want to use the launcher momentarily you have to rename the dinput8.dll to something else then rename it back once you finished you setup
faospark
2021-12-23 15:12:25 +0000 UTCWow, it worked! Thanks!
Tarcísio Medeiros
2021-12-16 00:27:33 +0000 UTCDinput8 is the dll interface that allows DEMASTERs dll to be loaded. Without it, you are disabling DEMASTER entirely. Try my suggestions to get yourself up and running.
Patrick McGuire
2021-12-15 22:00:18 +0000 UTCActually it runs the game whenever there's no dinput8.dll in the root game folder (with or without the other files from Demaster). So I'm almost sure it's this dll the problem. But If I delete it, the game will run, but with original textures. So: With dinput8.dll -> Game does not run Without dinput8.dll -> Game runs, but with original textures
Tarcísio Medeiros
2021-12-15 20:03:04 +0000 UTCDid you run the game once before you installed DEMASTER? If not, simply delete the DEMASTER files (except for your DEMASTER_EXP folder, you can leave that alone) and the ff8launcher you have and then verify your game files through steam. Then run the game once and THEN reinstall DEMASTER files. Let me know if this helps!
Patrick McGuire
2021-12-15 19:45:47 +0000 UTCI just installed FFVIII Remaster on Steam (last update), I downloaded FF8R_Demastered_1300.zip and had put everything on FFVIII folder (And tried to put all the files except the launcher as it's said it's not to "install" it, but both ways launcher does not work. When I delete dinput8.dll it works, but I don't know if it is because of it, but HD textures it's not working. Any ideas?
Tarcísio Medeiros
2021-12-14 23:46:46 +0000 UTCVocê conseguiu resolver? Pelo que percebi, é o arquivo dinput8.dll que é o problema. Excluindo-o da pasta raiz do jogo faz o launcher e o jogo funcionarem, mas ainda não consegui fazer as novas texturas funcionarem
Tarcísio Medeiros
2021-12-14 23:45:35 +0000 UTCAcabei de instalar os mods e a Pasta Angelwing-Ultima_Remastered_v1-0 e o jogo não abriu.

2021-10-12 09:04:12 +0000 UTCSame problem here. I followed the instructions carefully, but the game does not load.
Fernando Oliveira
2021-10-08 04:14:14 +0000 UTCSame 🙁 I tried the original launcher first but nothing happened even if I launch the launcher and ffviii.exe with admin privileges
Tz
2021-10-06 03:51:22 +0000 UTCWow. Can't believe how fantastic this is. Instructions were clear; mod is amazing!
Joshua
2021-09-16 18:56:30 +0000 UTCare the full Environments at this game fully remeastered?
afafsag gasgsadg
2021-08-19 16:18:43 +0000 UTCDid you do anything to the DEMASTER manager like attempt to update it? This should just be a folder drag/drop if you already have DEMASTER mods and it would work right away.
Patrick McGuire
2021-07-19 14:05:48 +0000 UTCThis mod broke my Demaster? No mods work now.

2021-07-11 11:32:17 +0000 UTCJust installed this plus the other mods - NOW it actually looks like a remaster. You are doing God's work my friend :)
Daniel
2021-07-09 06:56:45 +0000 UTCOpen the DEMASTER settings and disable the LOG and the DEBUG settings. This will drastically help with the page loading until we can get the DEMASTER to work with DDS textures.
Patrick McGuire
2021-06-30 23:34:24 +0000 UTCToo bad the work on the backgrounds are beautiful but the stuttering makes the game unplayable
