Angelwing: Ultima - Remastered v1.0.a

Hello 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!!!

do you think you will ever make this in 2k for better performance for lower spec PCs? or is there already something like that?

george arnold

Also need authorization. Crazy that piracy protection is taking precedence over those of us paying for your works. This is my 4th attempt to reach out after upgrading to GF tier.

I have now received permission to access the links. I can finally play FF8 in all its glory for a second time after almost 25 years. I hope MCindus answers you too.

Silversurfer

I sent a message to Mcindus on Discord. I have not gotten a response. Maybe if we yell loud enough though lol...

Dirkbutt

People are asking for access even after they paid you for it.... I am asking for authorization also.

Jason H.

Jason H.

Unfortunately, I cannot download the Angelwing Ultima Pack because I need Google Drive permission to access it. Already sent a message but received no response

Silversurfer

Creo que necesitamos un mod que cambie la resolucion del juego y quite las bandas negras laterales, yo no se hacer esto...

M.AlArossi

For recent patreons like me there are a few bugs in this release where a few effects are broken on the train and prison screens. These have been fixed, the fixes are on the Discord #angelwing-bugfixes

Matthias Lucas

Eli

Sorry 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?

TheOnlyOne138

Hello, i just want to say this is incredible. Realy Good Work !!!

Benjamin Pilgrim

with 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

Wow, it worked! Thanks!

Tarcísio Medeiros

Dinput8 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

Actually 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

Did 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

I 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

Você 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

Acabei de instalar os mods e a Pasta Angelwing-Ultima_Remastered_v1-0 e o jogo não abriu.

Pedro Rodrigues

Many thanks to you for allowing us (re)discovering this game with beautiful environments.

Nairolf

Same problem here. I followed the instructions carefully, but the game does not load.

Fernando Oliveira

Same 🙁 I tried the original launcher first but nothing happened even if I launch the launcher and ffviii.exe with admin privileges

Tz

Wow. Can't believe how fantastic this is. Instructions were clear; mod is amazing!

Joshua

are the full Environments at this game fully remeastered?

afafsag gasgsadg

Did 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

This mod broke my Demaster? No mods work now.

Terozu

every time i got a " AN UNKNOWN EXCEPTION HAS OCCURRED"

Protoman X

How do you do ?

Protoman X

Protoman X

Just installed this plus the other mods - NOW it actually looks like a remaster. You are doing God's work my friend :)

Daniel

Open 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

Too bad the work on the backgrounds are beautiful but the stuttering makes the game unplayable

petu laclare
