ROM Hack Discussion FF IX Moguri Mod

[masagrator]

So i probably have found a way to apply Moguri Mod to FF IX on Switch. Only issue is that I can't unpack merged images from mod.
Hades Workshop is not unpacking it properly for me. So if someone can unpack them and send me, I would be grateful.
I'm in touch with author. Maybe he will help me faster, but any help will be appreciated.

Edit: I figured it out. So WIP.

This would be awesome to see, so much great work being done on the switch.

Still something is off about layers.
On small screen is barely visible and it looks like it can't be helped as Hades Workshop shows it correctly... So this tool is doing something that I'm not aware.

Edit: And few more comparisons:

If you get moguri on switch I'll buy you 3 Ko-Fis like in a heartbeat!!

For anyone who didn't want to click.
The images are the "after" mod.

Honestly it still looks really sharp, and I'm sure especially on the switch screen it'll be fine. Keep up the great work!

Looks like one of issues (wrong tiling) is within game engine and it cannot be resolved (it's visible even in original Moguri Mod on PC). Second (gray lines) are partially resolved and it looks like it cannot be fully resolved without high resolution textures. So I'm going now to make complete package in few days.

seems like it's not supporting some type of transparency effect for the borders or something.
but at least in handheld mode, this is definitely going to improve things a lot
